Physician executive Sreeram Mullankandy discusses his article, "Bridging the digital divide: Addressing health inequities through home-based AI solutions." The conversation highlights that while the future of health care delivery is moving into patients' homes, this shift risks leaving the most vulnerable populations behind. Sreeram explains that non-medical factors, or Social Determinants of Health (SDOH), can influence up to 80 percent of health outcomes but are often missed by traditional systems. He argues that artificial intelligence, when deployed thoughtfully, can be a powerful equity enabler. The discussion covers how AI can identify hidden SDOH patterns with high accuracy, bridge language and literacy barriers for the nearly 36 million U.S. adults who need it, and serve as a force multiplier for community health workers. Sreeram also addresses the critical need for fairness audits to prevent AI from perpetuating bias and the massive economic incentive for building a more just system, which could save $1.7 trillion in health care costs.

Health Insurance is Rigged & Controlled by the Big Companies w/ Donvan Ryckis of Ethos Benefits   - AZ TRT S06 EP10 (272) 6-15-2025              What We Learned This Week Health Insurance is primarily run by the Big 4 - BUCA: Blue Cross United Healthcare, CIGNA, Aetna To Insurance Co's – Premium = Revenue, and they are not going lower profits, so no incentive to lower costs Health insurance employer group plans can be broken down into 4 Parts Network PPO is what people typically think of when they think of health insurance There have been revisions to the Healthcare Act passed in 2021   Guest: Donovan Ryckis, Ethos Benefits https://ethosbenefits.com/   https://ethosbenefits.com/documentary/ https://businessofbenefitspodcast.com/   Our Ethos is Simple: Fiduciary First. Act in the best interest of those we serve—no matter the cost. ‘Ethos' represents the guiding principle, character, or spirit of a person or organization. It's the ‘why' that drives decision-making and fuel's purpose. Our Ethos is deeply rooted in the story of our Founder, Donovan Ryckis. Over a decade ago, Donovan, a fiduciary Series 65 securities advisor specializing in retirement and pension planning, was approached by a client facing a dire situation. The client's publicly traded broker claimed there was no solution for a staggering 37.5% health insurance renewal increase—a cost that threatened the business and its employees. With no prior experience in health insurance markets but guided by his unwavering fiduciary principles, Donovan took on the challenge. The result? He mitigated the risk entirely, delivering a solution 12% below the current rate. This allowed the business to thrive and ensured hundreds of employees wouldn't have to choose between basic necessities and skyrocketing health premiums. That moment sparked a revelation. The fraud, waste, and abuse Donovan had fought in retirement planning paled in comparison to the challenges in healthcare. He saw an opportunity to bring transparency and fiduciary principles to an industry in desperate need of change. Donovan pivoted his career, becoming one of the first fee-based health insurance advisors in the nation. By removing all conflicts of interest in broker compensation, he laid the foundation for what is now the leading innovative employee benefits agency in the country, delivering higher quality care at a significantly lower cost to employers nationwide.       Notes:   Ethos Benefits deals with employee benefits, with a primary focus on group health insurance   Per Donovan ‘Employee benefits are rigged'   Insurance company premium equals revenue. There is no incentive to lower cost, as it would lower profits.   ACA Obamacare passed in 2010, and it capped profits for insurance companies at 20%   Insurance Co's are working to expand their pool to make more profit   Health Insurance guarantees inflation keeps going up, so family of 4 could spend 35K a year   For a business, healthcare cost and employee benefits are a top 3 P&L expense   Ethos strategies can create a 30 to 40% reduction on premium impact to lower costs for a business   The HQ is in Florida, but they are a virtual office with agents and clients nationwide   Healthcare finance and delivery + Improving employee benefits     Seg 1   Donovan's bio, he was a financial advisor with a Series 65 license before he got into health insurance. Around 2014 he moved into health insurance seeing an opportunity for better service.   Typically you see agents who are working for the health insurance company and not really working for the employer companies they are selling to.   Health insurance is primarily run by the Big 4 – BUCA: Blue Cross United Healthcare, CIGNA, Aetna.   Health insurance employer group plans can be broken down into 4 Parts:   1.    TPA or third-party administrator 2.    Network PPO or HMO 3.    Pharmacy benefit RX 4.    Insurance that covers the caps the limits on the stop loss   PPO is your primary network and open on using referrals HMO is a non-preferred network typically has less offerings and tight on referrals   Ethos Benefits helps employers to break up the four parts of a group plan and customize   Network PPO is what people typically think of when they think of health insurance.   Network and the Big 4 health companies have a tighter deal with doctors and contract prices. A lot is pre-negotiated with a set of rates, which is the point of a PPO. This is where you get larger claims and they run in the system of healthcare.     Seg 2   Pay more for healthcare in the U.S. than the rest of the world   The biggest pharmaceutical companies are in the US Pharmaceutical companies in flight prices, and also set the prices They make money through spread pricing   Employers can actually pick up their own Pharma benefit and get the rebates that the big health insurance companies are not giving them   Healthcare system is a rigged game The fraud waste and abuse extremely high in health   401(k) and retirement benefit industry is actually tighter with more disclosure than the healthcare industry   Regulated better since the creation of the Securities Act in the 1930s and updates that ran through the 1970s and beyond with things like ERISA   There have been revisions to the healthcare act passed in 2021 - started in Jan.2022   Actions had 3 disclosures: ·         Brokers comp and bonus ·         Data with gag, clauses, and full access to data upon request ·         Benchmarking for drug cost     Further Notes via Google:   The revisions you are likely referring to are part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (CAA). While the CAA was passed in late 2020, many of its provisions, including those related to transparency in healthcare, became effective on January 1, 2022.  The three key areas of disclosure you mentioned are directly addressed within these regulations: 1.            Broker's Compensation and Bonuses: The CAA amends ERISA Section 408(b)(2) and requires service providers, including brokers, to disclose specific information to group health plan fiduciaries. 2.            Data Transparency (Gag Clauses and Full Access to Data): The CAA prohibits gag clauses, which prevent plans from providing access to their data. It also requires health insurance carriers to attest annually to their compliance with this prohibition. Moreover, the Health DATA Act, a proposed bill, would further reinforce the right of employers to access their data and hold service providers accountable for non-compliance. 3.            Benchmarking for Drug Costs: The CAA includes provisions regarding pharmacy benefit and drug cost reporting, which aims to provide greater transparency and potentially lead to better benchmarking of drug costs. The Build Back Better Act, a separate piece of legislation, also included provisions for Medicare to negotiate drug prices, further impacting drug costs and potential benchmarking.  These revisions aim to increase transparency in healthcare pricing and empower consumers and employers to make more informed decisions about their healthcare coverage.    Seg 3   Ethos works with Employers to create business plans usually with a 3 to 5 year time horizon. The goal is long-term to lower healthcare cost.   Example would be a company with 100 employees with 50 to 80% of them on the health plan (does not include dependents).   Ethos wants to keep the demands of a company low, easy transition.   Ethos handles employee Qs and healthcare navigation. Ethos is full service.   Risk handled 1 of 4 ways - Reduce, avoid, retain, transfer - Transfer to insurance   Broker wants to transfer risk Company can control costs Careful not to have too much disruption with a switch to a new company   Ex - start with pharmacy part NDC National Drug Code Run report vs costs   Pharmacy benefit mgr   Pre packaged health plan Gets co approved pharmacy benefit Save 5 - 15% on costs (30%)   Separate - parts of group plan     Seg 4   Brokers comp - incentives from big insurance companies   Opening move - edit pharmacy benefit piece   State by state - regulators and rules   Employers / employees Know the network and PPO   Nationwide covers insurance part – Stop-loss Insurance   30-40 major stop loss companies Ex: Allstate Met Life Sun Life   Stop-loss insurance for group health plans acts as a financial safety net for self-funded employers, protecting them from large, unpredictable medical claims. It is a form of additional insurance.   Healthcare risk is incredibly predictable on group basis   Overall predictable w stats, actuarial analysis   Gag clauses look at dataset from current carrier   Prescription database sets   3rd party admin are less of a concern, lots of claims   Average of 18 claims per employee per year, includes dependents   Data - review AI Claims analytics software   AI claims analytics software is transforming how insurance companies handle claims by leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyze data, automate tasks, and improve decision-making.    30 - 40% reduction in premium w Ethos     Further Notes via Google: Group Medical Plans Breakdown of the common components of a comprehensive employer group health plan, particularly within the context of a self-funded model.  Here's a more detailed explanation of each part: 1.            TPA (Third-Party Administrator): A TPA is a company that provides administrative services for self-funded health plans. This includes processing claims, handling enrollment, and managing other administrative tasks that would typically be done by an insurance company. 2.            Network (PPO or HMO): This refers to the group of doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers that the health plan contracts with to provide services to its members. The network defines where employees can go to receive care and often dictates the level of coverage they will receive (e.g., in-network vs. out-of-network benefits). ·                                             PPO (Preferred Provider Organization): Offers more flexibility, allowing members to see out-of-network providers, though with higher out-of-pocket costs. ·                                             HMO (Health Maintenance Organization): Typically requires members to stay within the network for covered services, except in emergencies.                 Pharmacy Benefit (RX): This component manages the prescription drug coverage for the plan. It includes negotiating drug prices, processing claims for prescriptions, and managing the plan's formulary (list of covered drugs).                 Stop-Loss Insurance: This is a crucial element for self-funded employers. It protects the employer from catastrophic claim costs. If an individual employee or the entire group's claims exceed a certain threshold (the "attachment point"), the stop-loss insurance kicks in to cover the excess costs, limiting the employer's financial liability.  Additional Considerations: ·                     Data Access: Self-funded plans often provide employers with greater access to claims data, which can be used to analyze healthcare costs, identify trends, and implement strategies to improve employee health and manage costs. ·                     Benchmarking: Employers can use claims data and industry benchmarks to compare their plan's performance to similar organizations and negotiate better rates with providers and other vendors. ·                     Wellness Programs: Some employers offer wellness programs to encourage employees to adopt healthy behaviors and potentially reduce healthcare costs. ·                     Essential Health Benefits (ACA Compliance): Group health plans must comply with the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which requires them to cover a list of essential health benefits, such as outpatient care, emergency services, hospitalization, and prescription drugs. ·                     Other Benefits: Group plans can also include other benefits, such as dental, vision, life insurance, and long- and short-term disability insurance.  Understanding these different parts is essential for employers to effectively manage their group health plan, control costs, and provide valuable benefits to their employees.      Investing Shows: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Investing-Stocks-Bonds-Retirement       ‘Best Of' Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+of+BRT      Thanks for Listening.

Much can be learned, however, about both Xi Jinping and the nature of the party he leads from the memory and legacy of his father, the revolutionary Xi Zhongxun (1913-2002). The elder Xi served the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for more than seven decades. He worked at the right hand of prominent leaders Zhou Enlai and Hu Yaobang. He helped build the Communist base area that saved Mao Zedong in 1935, and he initiated the Special Economic Zones that launched China into the reform era after Mao's death. He led the Party's United Front efforts toward Tibetans, Uyghurs, and Taiwanese. And though in 1989 he initially sought to avoid violence, he ultimately supported the Party's crackdown on the Tiananmen protesters. The Party's Interests Come First is the first biography of Xi Zhongxun written in English. This biography is at once a sweeping story of the Chinese revolution and the first several decades of the People's Republic of China and a deeply personal story about making sense of one's own identity within a larger political context. Drawing on an array of new documents, interviews, diaries, and periodicals, Joseph Torigian vividly tells the life story of Xi Zhongxun, a man who spent his entire life struggling to balance his own feelings with the Party's demands. Through the eyes of Xi Jinping's father, Torigian reveals the extraordinary organizational, ideological, and coercive power of the CCP—and the terrible cost in human suffering that comes with it. 12:15-12:30 6/8 The Party's Interests Come First: The Life of Xi Zhongxun, Father of Xi Jinping Hardcover – 3 June 2025 by Joseph Torigian (Author) 12:30-12:45 7/8 The Party's Interests Come First: The Life of Xi Zhongxun, Father of Xi Jinping Hardcover – 3 June 2025 by Joseph Torigian (Author) 12:45-1:00 8/8 The Party's Interests Come First: The Life of Xi Zhongxun, Father of Xi Jinping Hardcover – 3 June 2025 by Joseph Torigian (Author)

Scoliosis impacts far more people than we realize. Dr. Tony Nalda explains the different sources of scoliosis that impact both children and adults. The population of people with scoliosis increases as age increases, that means many of us will be facing scoliosis in the future if not already living with it.Dr. Nalda explains the options we have to stop the curvature from increasing and even reducing the degree of the curve. We also discuss the traditional diagnosis and treatment options most doctors are operating under and why these options need to change to help prevent surgery. This is important because one small change could be significant in our level of pain we experience but not necessarily produce a degree of curve for traditional treatment. Dr. Tony Nalda is the leader of the Scoliosis Reduction Center®. In addition to being a chiropractor, Dr. Nalda holds an Intensive Care Certification from CLEAR Institute, a leading scoliosis educational and certification center. He was also one of the very first doctors to receive World Masters Certification from ISICO, a certification that specializes in the conservative treatment and management of scoliosis. Dr. Nalda also holds certifications with SEAS (Scientific Exercise Approach to Scoliosis Accreditation Program), Gomez Orthodics, Chiropractic Biophysics, ScoliBrace, A Corrective 3D Scoliosis Bracing System, DMX (Digital Motion Xray), and Scolibalance® certification from ScoliCare®.Learn more at www.scoliosisreductioncenter.com and follow on Facebook @ScoliosisReductionCenter and YouTube @ScoliosisReductionCenter.

We usually talk about tech as a problem — screens, addiction, distraction — but what if it could actually make family life better? In this episode, Dr Justin Coulson chats with two innovative parents, Matt and Brianna Donaldson, about how they're using smart technology to support routines, reduce stress, and create more quality time together. From bedtime battles to TV tantrums, discover how smart lights, switches, and routines can bring more peace and predictability to your home — no tech degree required! KEY POINTS: Around 80% of Millennial and Gen Z parents are now using smart home tech to manage home life. Smart devices (like lights, switches, and TVs) can automate routines to reduce friction — especially around bedtime. Tech can enhance a child’s autonomy and transitions (e.g. lights dimming, music playing) without constant parental prompting. Boundaries and structure are still essential — even in tech-forward homes. It’s not about more tech, but intentional tech that supports family connection and calm. You don’t have to spend thousands: starting with a $20 smart switch can begin transforming routines. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: “It’s not Mum or Dad turning off the TV — it’s the house. The structure is doing the heavy lifting.” — Dr Justin Coulson RESOURCES MENTIONED: Samsung SmartThings App Smart Switches (available from retailers like JB Hi-Fi or Kmart) Bluey and the Tony Box (a screen-free audio player for kids) The Parenting Revolution – by Dr Justin Coulson happyfamilies.com.au ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Start small. Try one smart light or switch in a high-impact area like the bedroom. Automate transitions. Use tech cues (e.g. dim lights + calming music) to support routines like bedtime. Keep boundaries clear. Set firm, predictable limits around tech use — especially screens. Use tech to reclaim time. Automate cleaning (like smart vacuums) or other routines to free up family time. Let the “house be the boss.” Reduce conflict by letting routines and automation do the talking. Prioritise presence. Tech should serve family life, not steal from it.

Every amateur cyclist falls into the same trap: chasing intensity instead of consistency. In this episode, I sit down with Christian Schrot, performance coach at Team Jayco AlUla, to explore one of endurance sport's most surprising truths — riding easy is what actually makes you faster.

From common misconceptions to the training habits that really work, this conversation is a must for any cyclist who's ever asked, “Am I training hard enough?” Spoiler: if you're doing it right, most of your rides should feel almost too easy.

In 2017, Rapha was the gold standard of cycling cool — premium kit, boutique clubhouses, and a cult-like following. Today? Stores are closing, prices are slashed, and the brand is losing millions. In this episode, we break down the meteoric rise and stunning fall of Rapha, from its poetic beginnings to its sale to the Walmart heirs. What went wrong? Was it discount culture, over-expansion, or simply forgetting what made the brand special in the first place? This is more than a story about cycling apparel — it's a cautionary tale for any brand chasing scale. Whether you're a Rapha loyalist, a skeptic, or just into brand strategy, this one's a ride worth taking.To join our 7 day email full of science-backed knowledge on Strength Training — tailored for cyclists in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond go to www.roadmancycling.com/getstrongThe podcast wouldn't be possible without our amazing sponsors:Surfshark - Online security starts with a VPN and I trust Surfshark.

But sometimes, even when we're doing everything “right,” our children's behavior can throw us a curveball --  crying for seemingly no reason, refusing to do something they wanted to do, or getting disproportionately angry over a small inconvenience. These situations can leave us frustrated, confused, and powerless to help.

Welcome to Quick Fire Friday, the Grow A Small Business podcast series that is designed to deliver simple, focused and actionable insights and key takeaways in less than 20 minutes a week. Every Friday, we bring you business owners and experts who share their top strategies for growing yourself, your team and your small business. Get ready for a dose of inspiration, one action you can implement and quotable quotes that will stick with you long after the episode ends! In this episode of Quick Fire Friday, host Michael Denehey interviews David Dilger, co-founder of Edge Legal, to explore the critical topic of psychosocial safety for small business owners. Drawing on over 30 years of legal and leadership experience, Dilger highlights the significant impact of unmanaged mental health risks in the workplace—emphasizing that mental health injuries cost three times more and take four times longer to resolve than physical injuries. He identifies key psychosocial hazards such as interpersonal conflict, inappropriate behavior, resistance to change, and mismatched expectations. Dilger underscores the importance of self-aware leadership, cultivating a respectful workplace culture, and conducting regular one-on-one meetings with team members. He also stresses the need for up-to-date policies, comprehensive training, and proactive risk assessments to effectively manage psychosocial risks and ensure legal compliance. Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners: Mental Health Risks Are Costly: Mental health injuries cost businesses three times more and take four times longer to resolve than physical injuries—making prevention and early action essential. Know Yourself as a Leader: The way leaders behave significantly influences workplace culture. Self-awareness and empathy are crucial for building trust and psychological safety. Interpersonal Issues Are the Core Hazards: Most psychosocial risks stem from interpersonal conflict, inappropriate behaviors, resistance to change, and unmet expectations—addressing these proactively reduces harm. Our hero crafts outstanding reviews following the experience of listening to our special guests. Are you the one we've been waiting for? One-on-One Meetings Are Powerful Tools: Regular 10–15 minute one-on-one meetings between managers and team members help detect issues early, improve communication, and strengthen relationships. Update Policies and Train Your People: Outdated policies won't protect your business. Regularly revise them to reflect current expectations, and ensure all staff are trained and understand them. Risk Management Is Not Optional: Conducting proper risk assessments, applying reasonable controls, and reviewing them over time is essential for compliance and maintaining a healthy work environment. One action small business owners can take: According to David Dilger, one action a small business owner should take is to implement regular one-on-one meetings with employees, as this fosters open communication, builds trust, and helps identify and address psychosocial risks early.

Dr. David Carmouche, Chief Clinical Transformation Officer at Lumeris, is addressing the primary care shortage by providing a platform that supports primary care physicians in managing a broader patient population and delivering better health outcomes. The Lumeris platform, Tom, is an AI-powered virtual assistant that can interact with patients, provide chronic disease management, education and support, and coordinate care on behalf of providers. Tom can improve efficiency, reduce clinician burnout, and provide more convenient and personalized experiences for patients.  David explains, "And so, they built the company, Lumeris, as a commercialization arm of their relationship to empower other primary care physicians to manage populations and deliver better health outcomes at a lower cost. And so for the last 12 years or so, Lumaris has been partnering largely with large medical groups and health systems to help them manage populations, Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial populations, and helping drive high performance and high outcomes within those relationships. The economics are shared economics, so when the plans and providers are successful by delivering better outcomes, Lumeris shares in those rewards."  "Given the 20-year history that I mentioned of understanding care deeply as a provider of care and as a partner to those providers of care, we have the fortune to build new technology to support primary care. Our environment starts with aggregating data, and that data helps us define a view of a patient. That data could come from an electronic medical record, it could come from claims data from a pharmacist, it could come from claims data from a payer, or it could come from a pharmacist or a lab. It could be consumer data that is purchasable, as organizations like Target, Walmart, and others use to market to us today. We aggregate that data to create a 360° view of a patient. Then we're able to leverage some of the new artificial intelligence that creates the ability for the platform to interact with patients on behalf of their clinical care teams at points in time where we understand that there is a defined next best clinical action that might help you in your health journey." #Lumeris #MedAI #DigitalHealth #PrimaryCareProviders lumeris.com Download the transcript here

If you've been nodding along with the wellness movement but still aren't sure how to take your first real step—this episode is your warm welcome in.   People everywhere are waking up to a simple truth: real health doesn't come from pills, shakes, or short-term programs. Most of us have tried them—spent the money, followed the plans—only to end up frustrated or right back where we started. The missing piece? A strong foundation. And the good news is, it's not complicated—just a few practical, common-sense shifts can spark real, lasting change.   Join Jamie Belz, host of the Nutritional Therapy & Wellness Podcast, and Mike Belz, CEO of the Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA), as they break down the Foundations of Wellness into common-sense, doable action steps for anyone just beginning their health journey.   This episode is packed with real talk, science-backed wisdom, and practical tips to help you pick your own adventure in a doable way. No more "all or nothing" attempts. Start over for the last time with one or a few of the easy but effective action steps you can incorporate today. If you're ready to stop feeling overwhelmed and finally start your wellness journey, this episode breaks it down into six simple, sustainable categories—what we call the Foundations of Wellness. You'll learn how to:   Eat a nutrient-dense diet rooted in real, whole foods (not calorie math), following Weston A. Price principles and honoring your bio-individual needs. Optimize digestion, the root of all health, by chewing thoroughly, practicing mindful eating, and supporting stomach acid and enzyme function (see Episode 11 for more). Balance blood sugar with small, daily habits like walking after meals and pairing carbs with protein and fat (see Episode 28). Improve sleep through calming evening routines, avoiding stimulants before bed, and aligning with your circadian rhythm. Reduce stress with tools like the 4-7-8 breath, gratitude practices, and brain dumping— (see Episode 42). Incorporate movement you actually enjoy—walking, dancing, or strength training—while supporting lymph flow, bone density, and energy.   You'll also hear real-life strategies like Mike's “gas station rule,” how to track wins without perfectionism, and why home-cooked meals and community support are game changers. Most importantly, we'll help you find your why—the motivation that keeps you going when things get hard.   Whether you're trying to lose weight, heal your gut, regain energy, or just understand what “healthy” actually means, this episode gives you a practical, welcoming place to begin.   Podcast Episodes Mentioned ⁠Episode 4⁠ – Bio-Individuality ⁠Episode 11⁠ – Digestive Hell with Gray Graham ⁠Episode 28⁠ – Blood Sugar 101 ⁠Episode 31⁠ – The Cold Turkey Episode ⁠Episode 42⁠ – Cultivating Joy   Find a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) ⁠NTA Practitioner Directory⁠     Please hit SUBSCRIBE, leave a 5-Star Review, and connect with us on Spotify comments!
