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.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that traps energy far more efficiently than carbon dioxide. Reduction of methane emissions is thus essential to slowing climate change, and livestock are a major source of these emissions. Dr. Phil Cardoso talks with Dr. Alex Hristov of Penn State University about nutritional strategies for mitigating production of methane by dairy cattle. They discuss the effectiveness of several different feed additives at reducing methane emissions and their effects on DMI and milk production.Links to papers and other sources mentioned in this episodeHristov et al. 2022.

THE LANCET 2003;362:767-771Background: Angiotensin II which plays a role in ventricular remodeling and progression of heart failure can be produced by pathways independent of angiotensin convening enzyme. Preliminary studies showed that the combination of angiotensin II blockers with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) improves hemodynamics and reduces ventricular remodeling.Cardiology Trial's Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support our work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The Candesartan in Heart failure: Assessment of Reduction in Mortality and morbidity (CHARM)-Added trial sough to assess if adding the angiotensin-receptor blocker (ARB), candesartan, to ACEi could improve outcomes in patients with systolic heart failure.Patients: Eligible patients had left ventricular ejection fraction of 40% or less within the previous 6 months, and NYHA class II, III or IV symptoms. Patients with NYHA class II symptoms had to have cardiac-related hospitalization within 6 months. Patients also had to have treatment with ACEi at a constant dose for at least 30 days.Exclusion criteria were not provided in the main manuscript.Baseline characteristics: Patients were recruited from 618 centers in 26 countries. The trial randomized 2,548 patients – 1,276 randomized to receive candesartan and 1,272 to receive placebo.The average age of patients was 64 years and 79% were men. The average left ventricular ejection fraction was 28%. Cardiomyopathy was ischemic in 62% of the patients. The NYHA class was II in 24% of the patients, III in 73% and IV in 3%.Approximately 48% had hypertension, 30% had diabetes, 56% had prior myocardial infarction, 9% had stroke, 27% had atrial fibrillation and 17% were current smokers.At the time of enrollment, 90% were taking a diuretic, 58% were taking digoxin, 55% were taking beta-blockers, 17% were taking spironolactone and all but two patients were taking ACEi.Procedures: The trial was double-blinded. Patients were assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive candesartan starting at 4 or 8mg once daily or placebo. The treatment was doubled every two weeks to a target dose of 32mg once daily.After randomization, follow up occurred at 2, 4, and 6 weeks, 6 months and every 4 months thereafter.Endpoints: The primary outcome was a composite of cardiovascular death or heart failure hospitalizations. All deaths were classified as cardiovascular unless there was a clear non-cardiac cause.Analysis was performed based on the intention-to-treat principle. The estimated sample size to have 80% power at 5% alpha was 2,300 patients. The sample size calculation assumed 16% relative risk reduction in the primary outcome with candesartan assuming an 18% annual event rate in the placebo arm.Results: The median follow up time was 41 months. The mean candesartan daily dose was 24mg at 6 months.Candesartan reduced the primary endpoint of cardiovascular death or heart failure hospitalizations (37.9% vs 42.3%, adjusted HR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.75 – 0.96; p= 0.01). Candesartan reduced the individual components of the primary outcome - (23.7% vs 27.3%; p= 0.021) for cardiovascular death and (24.2% vs 28.0%; p= 0.018) for heart failure hospitalizations. There was no significant reduction in all-cause death (29.5% with candesartan vs 32.4%; p= 0.105). The number of patients who had any hospitalization was similar in both groups (66.8% with candesartan vs 67.5%; p= 0.7), however, the total number of hospitalizations was lower with candesartan (2,462 vs 2,798; p= 0.023).Serum creatinine at least doubled in 7% of the patients in the candesartan group vs 6% in the placebo group. In the subset of patients taking spironolactone, serum creatinine at least double in 11% of the patients taking candesartan compared to 4% of the patients taking placebo.Hyperkalemia, defined as serum potassium of 6 mmol/L or higher, occurred in 3% of the patients in the candesartan group vs 1% in the placebo group. In the subset of patients taking spironolactone, hyperkalemia occurred in 4% of the patients taking candesartan compared to 1% of the patients taking placebo.There were two cases of angioedema in the candesartan group and three in the placebo group. All patients were taking an ACEi.There were no significant subgroup interactions, including in patients taking both beta-blockers and ACEi at baseline.Conclusion: In patients with systolic heart failure, adding candesartan to an ACEi reduced the primary composite outcome of cardiovascular death or heart failure hospitalizations with a number needed to treat of approximately of 23 patients over 41 months of follow up. The total number of all-cause hospitalizations was reduced by 336 with candesartan. All-cause death was not significantly reduced with candesartan.While the results of the trial appear impressive, the high number of adverse outcomes with candesartan in patients taking spironolactone is concerning. Spironolactone led to significant reduction in all-cause mortality in patients with systolic heart failure, as seen in the RALES trial, and should be prioritized over adding candesartan. Notably, fewer than 20% of patients in the trial were on spironolactone at baseline; if more had been, the incremental benefit of candesartan would likely have been reduced due to an increased risk of adverse effects from triple neurohormonal blockade (ACEi, ARBs, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists). Furthermore, spironolactone acts by blocking the aldosterone receptor, which is downstream in the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system. Since candesartan blocks angiotensin II upstream in the same pathway, simultaneous inhibition at multiple points may lead to diminishing benefit.Finally, the differences observed in the subgroup of patients on beta-blockers between this trial and Val-HeFT remain unclear and may simply reflect the play of chance. As we previously discussed, patients receiving both an ACEi and beta-blockers had worse outcomes with valsartan in the Val-HeFT trial.Cardiology Trial's Substack is a reader-supported publication.

On February 19 of this year, President Donald Trump issued one of his first executive orders, Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy, leaving no doubt his aim to reduce its size and scope. As DOGE got to work firing federal workers—and cutting entire agencies, the president also fired heads of agencies—Democratic and Republican—cleaning house of leadership not deemed on side. As EO whiplash continues, so does pushback, with many in the public learning about the people behind the cost-cutting and loyalty tests—the federal workers and government agencies helping to make American life run smoothly and safely. What are the legal questions?Joining this episode is Anne Joseph O'Connell, a leading scholar of U.S. administrative law and the federal bureaucracy. She was a presidentially appointed member of the Council of the Administrative Conference of the United States, an independent federal agency dedicated to improving regulatory procedures, from October 2022 to January 2025. She combines a lawyer's doctrinal acumen and institutional sensibilities with a political scientist's deep understanding of American politics and political theory and an empiricist's rigor about facts in the world. Her scholarship explains how government really works. She has done pioneering and award-winning work on previously unforeseen questions about the problem of vacancies in federal office and about the legal and normative implications of unorthodox government entities such as the U.S. Postal Service or Smithsonian.Links:Anne Joseph O'Connell >>> Stanford Law pageActings >>> Stanford Law pageConnect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>> Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/X (00:00:00) Introduction to Anne Joseph O'Connell's background(00:03:44) Actings in Government(00:17:04) The Importance of Government Accountability(00:19:22) The Role of Detailees in Government and The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)(00:27:24) Government Waste and Fraud
Whether to buy a house or go to college are major financial decisions, but so is deciding when to take Social Security.It's true—tens of thousands of dollars, if not more, are on the line when deciding when to start Social Security benefits. Eddie Holland joins us today to help make the decision easier.Eddie Holland is a Senior Private Wealth Advisor and partner of Blue Trust in Greenville, South Carolina. He's also a CPA, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), and a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA®).A Common Recommendation—But Not a One-Size-Fits-AllWhen it comes to retirement, one of the most common questions people ask is: When should I start taking Social Security benefits? It's a vital decision that affects not only your income but also your long-term financial strategy and even your legacy.It's generally recommended to wait until at least full retirement age (66 or 67), but that doesn't mean it's the best choice for everyone. While delaying Social Security allows your benefits to grow up to 8% annually after full retirement age, thanks to what's called a delayed retirement credit, we must remember that each situation is unique.Six Key Factors to ConsiderHere are several factors that should guide your decision:1. Reduction vs. Growth of BenefitsTaking Social Security early reduces benefits. Delaying past full retirement age increases benefits. That tradeoff is foundational to your strategy.2. Cash Flow NeedsIf you retire before full retirement age and need income, you might begin drawing Social Security early to meet immediate needs. Some people may need to pay off debt or cover living expenses.3. Charitable Giving GoalsInterestingly, some retirees choose to take Social Security early in order to increase their generosity. Some people start taking benefits specifically to give more, either during retirement or as part of a legacy plan. 4. Health and LongevityYour health and family history play a significant role. If you don't expect to live well into your 80s or 90s, you might opt to draw earlier. But if you're healthy and expect a longer life, delaying could offer more value over time.5. Legacy and InheritanceYou can't leave your Social Security benefits to heirs, but you can leave your investment portfolio. This means some people opt to draw Social Security sooner in order to preserve their portfolio for giving or inheritance purposes.6. Tax PlanningSocial Security benefits can be taxable depending on your income. Some people delay benefits until a year they anticipate being in a lower tax bracket, strategically minimizing the tax impact.A Bonus Strategy: The “Mulligan”In some cases, there is a lesser-known but potentially powerful option: the withdrawal application.If you start taking Social Security before full retirement age and change your mind within the first 12 months, you can actually ‘undo' it.” You'll need to repay the benefits you received, but the Social Security Administration treats it as if you never started. You then have the option to restart at a later date, potentially at a higher benefit.This strategy can be especially useful during periods of market volatility when withdrawing from your investment portfolio might not be ideal.The Bottom LineThere's no universal right age at which to begin drawing Social Security. It really depends on your personal situation—your income needs, health, tax strategy, and goals for generosity and legacy.Wise financial planning starts with understanding your options and aligning those choices with your values and calling.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:How much is enough? My wife and I have 10 properties, including the one we live in. Because of COVID and a flood, I've been rehabbing them for the last few years. My wife is 71 and still working, and I'm wondering if we should continue fixing them up to maximize profit, or we should just hold them as they are, even if we get less money.I'm near retirement with $2 million saved and a good pension. Should I spend $3,300-$7,600 on a $20,000 term life policy, or is it unnecessary given my financial situation?I have assets but don't work.

Dr. Margaret Price and Thomas Henley discuss divorce, parenthood, and family court through an autism-focused lens; a raw, vital talk on support, stigma, and systemic failure.Thomas's Links: https://linktr.ee/thomashenleyUKPegi's Book: https://uk.jkp.com/collections/author-margaret-pegi-price-pid-204569Code HENLEY25 : https://neurodivergentinsights.com/neurodivergent-store/We discuss the challenges faced by families with autistic children in the context of family law. Pegi shares her personal journey as a single parent of an autistic child and critiques traditional legal frameworks that inadequately address the unique needs of these families. She advocates for customised legal solutions, crisis planning, and systemic changes to better support special needs families. The episode emphasises the need for specialised legal considerations and a cultural shift to foster understanding and support for children with autism.In this episode, we discuss:• The difference between typical and special needs family law: why the old playbook often falls short.• Court-approved parenting plans and how they often miss the mark for families with an autistic child.• Crisis planning lessons from COVID-19 school closures: what happens when support systems suddenly vanish.• Labelling and stigma: how institutional bias shows up in court and what it means for our kids.• The importance of individualised support, realistic respite care, and financial planning for special needs.• Raising awareness in law, policy, and everyday life: change happens when we all get informed.
The race to secure critical minerals is accelerating—but so is the urgency to reduce their carbon footprint. Mining, refining, and processing are energy-intensive, often reliant on fossil fuels, and responsible for significant emissions. Paradoxically, as the demand for net-zero metals grows, so too does their footprint. This webinar explores the practical pathways for decarbonising critical minerals supply. Our panelists share tangible insights, from electrifying operations and adopting renewable energy sources, to using low carbon mining technologies. The panel: Urishani Govender, chief sustainability officer, Harmony Gold Mining Company Arend Van Der Goes, senior sustainability manager, Eramet Reza Rahmaditio, critical minerals project lead, WRI Indonesia Moderator: Ian Welsh, publishing director, Innovation Forum

Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda Episode Title: Avoiding Surgery – Bianca's Scoliosis Success Story Episode Summary: When Bianca was diagnosed with scoliosis at a young age, she was initially told that surgery was her only option. With a 65-degree spinal curve, multiple doctors recommended spinal fusion. However, through intensive scoliosis care and dedicated home exercises, Bianca was able to reduce her curve to 45 degrees, avoiding invasive surgery altogether. In this inspiring episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, Bianca shares her personal journey—how scoliosis affected her daily life, the difficult decision to reject surgery, and how conservative scoliosis treatment helped her take control of her health. Dr. Nalda also explains why scoliosis is not just an injury, but a developmental condition that requires specialized treatment beyond traditional chiropractic care. Key Topics Covered: ✅ Early Scoliosis Detection – How school screenings helped Bianca catch her scoliosis early. ✅ The Traditional Approach to Severe Scoliosis (Surgery Recommendation): Orthopedic surgeons recommend surgery for curves over 45 degrees, especially in growing children. Spinal fusion can lead to stiffness and chronic pain, affecting quality of life. ✅ Why Conservative Scoliosis Treatment Works: Intensive therapy can halt progression and reduce the curve naturally. Customized exercises, chiropractic care, and rehabilitation helped Bianca improve her spine alignment. ✅ Avoiding Surgery with Hard Work & Commitment: Bianca's curve reduced from 65 to 45 degrees through consistent treatment. Daily 30-minute home exercises helped maintain and further improve her progress. ✅ The Role of Lifestyle & Posture in Scoliosis Progression: Playing the banjo put asymmetrical weight on her spine, potentially influencing her curve. Understanding postural habits can help prevent worsening over time. ✅ Bianca's Passion for Music & Overcoming Challenges: Bianca and her sister have turned their struggles into music, releasing an album titled "Growing Wings". Their song "Limitless" is about pushing past obstacles and achieving goals—a message that resonates with anyone facing challenges like scoliosis. Key Takeaways: ➡️ Scoliosis is NOT just an injury—it's a progressive, developmental condition that requires specialized treatment. ➡️ Surgery is not the only option, even for severe cases—dedicated scoliosis care can significantly reduce curves. ➡️ Early intervention leads to better results, but even larger curves can be improved with the right approach. ➡️ Hard work now means better long-term health—Bianca chose a proactive approach over a quick fix and is healthier because of it.

Today on the Wholesale Hotline Podcast (Flipping Mastery Edition), Jerry Norton takes the Squad Summit stage in front of 3,500 people and lands a live seller call that drops from a $500K ask to a $350K cash offer—in under 10 minutes. Show notes -- in this episode we'll cover: Jerry walks through his “low anchor” strategy, where he leads with a vague, ultra-low offer that prompts the seller to negotiate against themselves by $150K. Jerry reveals why jumping straight to price on PPL (pay-per-lead) calls builds instant authority, filters out tire-kickers, and leads to faster, more qualified conversations. Learn how Jerry builds seller trust through transparency and authority, locking in sight-unseen contracts with honest due diligence contingencies. The Squad Summit panel breaks down why PPL compresses time, boosts close rates, and is ideal for investors with full-time jobs or scaling teams who want better conversations—not more calls.

Today's guest is quite literally outstanding in his field! Fan favorite, Glenn Longabaugh, joins hosts Jeff Jarrett and Sal Sama for this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies. As the Technical Agronomist for Premier Companies, Glenn is no stranger to the podcast (or to turkeys), and he's full of tips for getting this crop year off to a good start. Today, you'll learn about the technology and regulations changes that have changed the application of herbicides and suggestions for growers as they think through that process coming off of the windiest April on record. Glenn will share how drift reduction technology has helped keep the peace between neighbors and how understanding Pulse Width Modulation (PMW) can help growers make sure their fields are getting the appropriate amount of herbicide. “21st century technology is doing some wonderful things to make growers' lives easier and really do a better job of getting herbicides where they're supposed to be, and that's in the fields and not on the neighbor.”
