Podcasts about Rehabilitation

For years, the standard medical advice for someone diagnosed with multiple sclerosis was simple, cautious, and as we now know, incredibly limiting: "Take it easy. Don't overexert yourself. And get plenty of rest."  Today, like almost every other aspect of MS care, neurological rehabilitation is being entirely rewritten. It's no longer about just managing decline; it's about leveraging emerging technologies to proactively build resilience, retrain the brain, and adopt cutting-edge exercise science to fundamentally change the trajectory of life with MS. This week, three experts share their thoughts on what MS rehabilitation looks like in 2026...and it's not your father's MS rehab! Dr. Brian Sandroff breaks down his groundbreaking research on how tailored exercise regimens—like treadmill walking—can actually improve memory, boost processing speed, and spark cognitive recovery. Dr. Brad Willingham discusses the game-changing world of continuous remote monitoring, explaining how wearable sensors and AI are turning real-world, 24/7 data into hyper-personalized, dynamic treatment plans. And Dr. Laura Rice delivers a practical exercise blueprint for individuals with MS who use wheelchairs. You'll learn how to jumpstart a safe fitness routine while effectively managing risks like heat sensitivity, shoulder overuse, skin breakdown, and the fear of falling. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??! This Week: We're taking a deep dive into MS rehabilitation :22 Dr. Brian Sandroff answers the question, "Can exercise be used to treat cognitive impairment?"    2:10 Dr. Brad Willingham explains how AI can play a meaningful role in MS rehabilitation and clinical care  13:41 Dr. Laura Rice shares tips and strategies for exercising safely if you rely on a wheelchair for mobility   26:18 Share this episode  46:27 Next week  46:47 SHARE THIS EPISODE OF REALTALK MS Just copy this link & paste it into your text or email: https://realtalkms.com/459 ADD YOUR VOICE TO THE CONVERSATION I've always thought about the RealTalk MS podcast as a conversation.

Anna argues Ukraine's resolve comes from living the reality of full-scale war, losing the ability to plan, and focusing on immediate, practical defense and offense. They discuss Russia's escalating terror strikes on Ukrainian cultural heritage sites including Kyiv Pechersk Lavra and Kharkiv Museum of Art, the symbolism of cultural erasure, and skepticism that the White House will respond adequately. Anna warns intelligence services' reports of potential Russian attacks on NATO states are serious and describes hybrid tactics like drones and missiles against infrastructure to test alliance cohesion. She outlines Ukraine's strategy: deprive Russia of resources by striking logistics, fuel, arsenals, and fleets until Russia cannot continue the war.----------CHAPTERS:00:42 Lviv Forum Insights03:25 Ukraine's Will to Fight06:26 NATO Next Target09:52 Appeasement Failures11:45 Cultural Terror Signal16:01 Why West Won't Respond18:40 Ukraine Strikes Back22:00 Trump World Enablers28:49 How Russia Stops31:08 Strategy to Drain Resources----------

The Marc Cox Morning Show tackles a question every landlord, employer, and neighbor deserves an answer to — do you have the right to know who you're dealing with? Virginia's new Clean Slate Law takes effect July 1st, automatically sealing over 100,000 criminal records and blocking background checks from revealing convictions for theft, drug distribution, and more. Dan and Kim go back and forth on second chances versus the right to know — and the conversation gets real fast. Rehabilitation is one thing, but what happens when you can't evict a bad tenant and you never knew their history to begin with? Kim on a Whim — the segment that asks the questions most people are afraid to.

What happens when the original voices behind Bendy Bodies come back together 200 episodes later? In this special milestone episode, Dr. Linda Bluestein reunites with her original co-host, dance medicine specialist Jennifer Milner, and the very first guest ever featured on the podcast, Dr. Moira McCormack. Long before hypermobility became a topic of widespread discussion, Dr. McCormack was asking important questions. A former Royal Ballet dancer, former Lead Physiotherapist for The Royal Ballet, and pioneering researcher, she was among the earliest clinicians investigating joint hypermobility in dancers and the challenges that often accompany it. Together, they reflect on more than two decades of progress in our understanding of hypermobility, Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS), and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD), while exploring the many misconceptions that still persist today. The conversation goes far beyond flexibility. Dr. McCormack explains why many hypermobile dancers must work harder, recover more strategically, and develop greater body awareness than their peers. The discussion also dives into the often-overlooked multisystem effects of hypermobility, including fatigue, pain, dysautonomia, gastrointestinal symptoms, and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). Drawing on decades of experience working with elite dancers and hypermobile patients, Dr. McCormack shares practical insights on injury prevention, individualized rehabilitation, hands-on assessment, and the art of teaching movement with patience and precision. Whether you're a dancer, athlete, parent, teacher, clinician, or someone navigating hypermobility yourself, this episode offers both a fascinating look at how far the field has come and a roadmap for where we still need to go. Most importantly, it reminds us that success in a hypermobile body isn't about having the most flexibility. It's about developing the control, strength, awareness, and resilience to use that flexibility well. Key Takeaways • This episode reunites the same three people who launched Bendy Bodies with Episode 1, creating a full-circle conversation 200 episodes later. • Hypermobile dancers often work harder behind the scenes than audiences realize. Fatigue, recovery, and injury prevention are frequently bigger challenges than flexibility itself. • Flexibility without control can increase injury risk. Strength, stability, motor control, and body awareness are essential for long-term success. • Hypermobility can affect far more than the joints, contributing to symptoms involving the nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, immune system, and cardiovascular system. • Rehabilitation is rarely one-size-fits-all. Hypermobile individuals often benefit from individualized assessment, hands-on treatment, and slower, more deliberate progression. • Teachers, parents, and healthcare professionals play a critical role in recognizing early warning signs and supporting healthy development in young dancers. • One of the most powerful injury-prevention strategies may be surprisingly simple: learning to master posture and alignment before adding movement. • Moira also honors the influence of the late Professor Rodney Grahame, with whom she conducted her early research and met frequently to discuss joint hypermobility, connective tissue disorders, and the many unanswered questions that continue to shape the field today.

What happens when the original voices behind Bendy Bodies come back together 200 episodes later? In this special milestone episode, Dr. Linda Bluestein reunites with her original co-host, dance medicine specialist Jennifer Milner, and the very first guest ever featured on the podcast, Dr. Moira McCormack. Long before hypermobility became a topic of widespread discussion, Dr. McCormack was asking important questions. A former Royal Ballet dancer, former Lead Physiotherapist for The Royal Ballet, and pioneering researcher, she was among the earliest clinicians investigating joint hypermobility in dancers and the challenges that often accompany it. Together, they reflect on more than two decades of progress in our understanding of hypermobility, Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS), and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD), while exploring the many misconceptions that still persist today. The conversation goes far beyond flexibility. Dr. McCormack explains why many hypermobile dancers must work harder, recover more strategically, and develop greater body awareness than their peers. The discussion also dives into the often-overlooked multisystem effects of hypermobility, including fatigue, pain, dysautonomia, gastrointestinal symptoms, and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). Drawing on decades of experience working with elite dancers and hypermobile patients, Dr. McCormack shares practical insights on injury prevention, individualized rehabilitation, hands-on assessment, and the art of teaching movement with patience and precision. Whether you're a dancer, athlete, parent, teacher, clinician, or someone navigating hypermobility yourself, this episode offers both a fascinating look at how far the field has come and a roadmap for where we still need to go. Most importantly, it reminds us that success in a hypermobile body isn't about having the most flexibility. It's about developing the control, strength, awareness, and resilience to use that flexibility well. Key Takeaways • This episode reunites the same three people who launched Bendy Bodies with Episode 1, creating a full-circle conversation 200 episodes later. • Hypermobile dancers often work harder behind the scenes than audiences realize. Fatigue, recovery, and injury prevention are frequently bigger challenges than flexibility itself. • Flexibility without control can increase injury risk. Strength, stability, motor control, and body awareness are essential for long-term success. • Hypermobility can affect far more than the joints, contributing to symptoms involving the nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, immune system, and cardiovascular system. • Rehabilitation is rarely one-size-fits-all. Hypermobile individuals often benefit from individualized assessment, hands-on treatment, and slower, more deliberate progression. • Teachers, parents, and healthcare professionals play a critical role in recognizing early warning signs and supporting healthy development in young dancers. • One of the most powerful injury-prevention strategies may be surprisingly simple: learning to master posture and alignment before adding movement. • Moira also honors the influence of the late Professor Rodney Grahame, with whom she conducted her early research and met frequently to discuss joint hypermobility, connective tissue disorders, and the many unanswered questions that continue to shape the field today.

Samoilov says Russian agencies are trying to silence him, reducing his output, and argues Moscow is now targeting English-language critics to protect RT's outward propaganda. They discuss the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum as humiliating theater amid visible refinery fires, claims of a rapidly accelerating Russian economic collapse, and the notable absence of central bank head Elvira Nabiullina as a sign of elite infighting. Samoilov cites fuel rationing, falling tax receipts, deficits, and shrinking options, concluding Putin cannot end the war without risking his own downfall and may escalate beyond Ukraine, while Ukraine's victory is likely to be driven by internal Russian clan conflict. Jonathan closes by promoting his edited book, The Dark Heart of Russia.----------CHAPTERS: 01:12 Why Konstantin Went Quiet03:46 Russia Targets English Voices06:55 Potemkin Forum Optics10:07 Economy Enters Acute Phase14:42 Putin Speech Empty Theater19:47 Nabiullina Vanishes22:36 Robots and Fake Volga26:02 Can Propaganda Survive Defeat28:03 Visa Narrative Whiplash31:04 Kursk Under Occupation32:30 Nabiullina And Collapse36:21 Why Putin Cannot Stop41:44 Fuel Crisis Hits Home44:54 Escalation Scenarios48:09 Desperation Over Strategy----------

In dieser Folge von Performance Skills sprechen wir mit Mirjam Schäfer über ihren besonderen beruflichen Weg als Ergotherapeutin, ihre Erfahrungen in verschiedenen Ländern und darüber, wie internationale Perspektiven den Blick auf Ergotherapie verändern können. Mirjam berichtet von ihrem Werdegang, ihren persönlichen Beweggründen, immer wieder neue Gesundheitssysteme und Kulturen kennenzulernen, und von prägenden Erfahrungen aus ihrer Arbeit im Ausland. Gemeinsam gehen wir der Frage nach, welche Unterschiede sie im Verständnis von Betätigung, Teilhabe und Rehabilitation erlebt hat – und welche Rolle kulturelle Werte und gesellschaftliche Normen in der ergotherapeutischen Arbeit spielen. Ein zentrales Thema der Folge ist der Vergleich zwischen der Ergotherapie im deutschsprachigen Raum und internationalen Arbeitsweisen. Wir sprechen darüber, warum Ergotherapie im Ausland häufig als betätigungsorientierter oder weiterentwickelt wahrgenommen wird, was wir tatsächlich von anderen Ländern lernen können und welche Stärken der deutschsprachigen Ergotherapie manchmal unterschätzt werden. Außerdem teilt Mirjam Begegnungen und Situationen, die ihren Blick auf den Beruf nachhaltig geprägt haben. Zum Abschluss werfen wir gemeinsam einen Blick auf ihr ideales ergotherapeutisches Arbeitsumfeld: Was wäre möglich, wenn man die besten Ideen, Haltungen und Erfahrungen aus verschiedenen Ländern miteinander verbinden würde? Eine inspirierende Folge über berufliche Entwicklung, kulturelle Unterschiede, internationale Ergotherapie und die Frage, wie wir unsere eigene Praxis durch neue Perspektiven weiterdenken können. Viel Freude beim Zuhören! Performance Skills – mit Sabrina und Robert

Thomas is joined by Dr. Jenessa Seymour to dig into the brain science behind a surprisingly strange phenomenon: why do astronauts who spent just nine days in space need weeks of physical therapy to walk normally again? The answer turns out to involve ancient calcium carbonate ear stones, the same material crabs use for shells, a multi-layered sensory system your brain is constantly running without your knowledge, and a wild evolutionary theory about why motion sickness exists at all. Also: why pilots fly perfectly good planes directly into the ground, and what deaf NASA research participants revealed about how proprioception actually works. Come see me at SkeptiCal!

Bryan Pickens is a former U.S. Army special operations soldier, security contractor, tactical advisor, and Ukraine war veteran. He has served in elite U.S. units, including as a Green Beret in U.S. Army Special Forces and as a Ranger with 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment. He is currently associated with Valoryx Group LLC and is publicly described as a tactical advisor, drone-operations and training specialist, security consultant, and Russian-language proficient former special operator.After Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Pickens fought alongside Ukrainian special operations forces and became one of the Western veterans arguing that Ukraine's battlefield experience has outpaced much of NATO's current understanding of modern war. In comments cited by Forbes, he said that even with “16 combat deployments,” he had to relearn how to fight in Ukraine, adding that Ukrainian counterparts were teaching him. His recent public commentary focuses heavily on drone warfare, counter-drone defence, electronic warfare, mid-range strike capability, and the urgent need for Western militaries to learn directly from Ukrainian operators. He has warned that cheap drone swarms cannot be sustainably countered with multi-million-dollar interceptors, and has argued that Ukraine can help professionalize Western warfighters in interception, surveillance, strike integration, and counter-electronic warfare. Pickens has also written and co-authored for The Cipher Brief, including on what Washington should learn from Ukraine's battlefield, and has appeared on veteran/security podcasts discussing his U.S. special operations background, Ukraine experience, and tactical lessons from the war.----------LINKS:https://www.thecipherbrief.com/experts/bryan-pickenshttps://www.forbes.com/sites/davidkirichenko/2026/05/15/the-pentagon-is-learning-drone-warfare-from-ukraine/https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidkirichenko/2026/05/03/japans-terra-drone-bets-on-ukraines-cheap-way-to-stop-shaheds/https://www.thecipherbrief.com/the-future-of-war-is-now-what-washington-needs-to-hear-from-the-battlefield----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

Tayla Cannon is an Australian physiotherapist, rehabilitation coach, athlete, and tech entrepreneur who has built her career around challenging conventional thinking in health and performance. After moving to the United States at just 24 years old, she pursued opportunities that combined healthcare, innovation, and entrepreneurship, eventually creating a new model of rehabilitation that integrates injury recovery directly into athletic training.With a background in competitive sport, CrossFit, strength and conditioning, and physiotherapy, Tayla has spent years working at the intersection of performance and recovery. Alongside her clinical work, she now leads a technology company while continuing to help athletes and everyday people overcome chronic pain and return to the activities they love.What shaped Tayla's philosophy was not simply education, but her own experience with chronic back pain. Despite being highly trained and physically capable, she found herself trapped in the same cycle that affects countless people: pain, fear, inactivity, and frustration. Rather than accepting traditional approaches, she began experimenting with movement variability, progressive exposure, and alternative rehabilitation strategies on herself.This journey led her to challenge many long-held beliefs around injury, spinal health, and rehabilitation. Throughout the conversation, she explains how fear often becomes as disabling as the injury itself, why pain is not always a sign of structural damage, and how the brain plays a critical role in both creating and resolving chronic pain. Her message is simple but powerful: movement is medicine, confidence can be rebuilt, and recovery often begins by teaching the brain that movement is safe again.A major focus of Tayla's work today is bridging the gap between rehabilitation and performance. Rather than separating injury recovery from training, she integrates them into a single process that allows people to continue exercising while rebuilding strength, capacity, and confidence.We discuss the evolution of physiotherapy, the importance of load and movement over passive treatments, fascial slings, bracing, movement variability, and why many traditional rehabilitation models fail active people.She also shares insights on resilience, stepping outside comfort zones, the cultural differences between Australia and America, and why maintaining cardiovascular fitness, movement diversity, and lifelong athleticism is essential for long-term health. At its core, Tayla's work is about empowering people to move better, recover smarter, and build bodies capable of thriving well beyond injury.

In this fascinating episode of the Optimal Protein Podcast, Vanessa Spina is joined by Dr. Fernando Naclerio, Professor in Strength Training and Sports Nutrition at the University of Greenwich and Centre Lead for the Centre for Exercise Activity and Rehabilitation. Vanessa and Dr. Naclerio dive into a brand new meta-analysis comparing higher-carb and lower-carb diets when calories and protein are matched. While both approaches improved body composition, the low-carb diets produced greater reductions in fat mass, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and triglycerides, along with increases in HDL. This conversation explores why not all weight loss is fat loss — and why consuming too many carbohydrates during a calorie deficit may, in certain conditions, shift the body toward burning more lean mass instead of body fat. They also discuss how to structure protein, carbohydrates, and fats for better body composition, why carbohydrate tolerance depends on activity level, the importance of resistance training, keto adaptation, meal timing, fasting, protein distribution, and why protecting muscle should be the priority during fat loss.

He later served as Chief of Operations for Europe and Eurasia and as head of the CIA's National Resources Division, where he worked with senior U.S. private-sector figures in finance, banking, and security.Before joining the CIA, Goff served in the U.S. Army as a Russian linguist and signals intelligence officer on the East German border during the late Cold War, monitoring Soviet forces. After retiring from the CIA in October 2023, he became a public commentator on intelligence, Russia, Ukraine, and great-power competition. He has traveled regularly to Ukraine, met with Ukrainian officials, and argued that Western support for Kyiv has often been too cautious. In a 2025 interview, he said the West had given Ukraine “enough weapons to bleed, not to win,” criticising fear of escalation as a strategic constraint. In 2025, Goff was reportedly selected by CIA Director John Ratcliffe to become Deputy Director for Operations, the post overseeing human intelligence and covert action, but the appointment was later withdrawn. Reporting by Politico and The Washington Post said the reversal surprised many intelligence professionals and was linked by sources to political concerns, including Goff's public support for Ukraine. Today, Goff is known as a forthright advocate for rebuilding U.S. clandestine capabilities, strengthening Western intelligence posture, and supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression. His public persona combines old-school operations experience, Atlanticist conviction, and a blunt critique of risk-aversion in Western policy.----------LINKS:https://www.thecipherbrief.com/experts/ralph-goffhttps://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/ex-cia-chief-we-gave-ukraine-enough-weapons-to-bleed-not-to-win-r3q0r2fcghttps://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/02/cia-drops-agency-veteran-clandestine-operations-00267346----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Car4Ukrainehttps://car4ukraine.com/en-US/campaignsDzyga's Pawhttps://dzygaspaw.com/projectsSuperhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

What does it take to keep grinding when the stadium lights fade, your organization is no longer behind you, and you are left facing a grueling two-year recovery entirely on your own? In this powerful episode of Very Bold Radio and Podcast, host Steve Teel sits down for a dynamic third interview with professional baseball pitcher and certified flamethrower, Jacob Coats. After touching an unofficial 101 MPH on the radar gun and pitching within the Houston Astros organization, Jacob faced a career-altering hurdle: a torn UCL ligament requiring major Tommy John surgery. Jacob opens up about the silent, lonely two-year battle of rehabilitation without a team holding him accountable, the profound mental and spiritual warfare he faced in empty training facilities, and the unique motivating factors—including family, his fiancee Emily, and the future dream of playing catch with his own children—that kept him from walking away. Fast forward to last season: signed by the Gary SouthShore RailCats, Jacob transitioned into a dominant new role as a true, high-adrenaline closer. He shares what it felt like to lock down 13 saves, post a 2.89 ERA, hold opposing hitters to a staggering .195 average, and ultimately earn a spot at the 2025 American Association All-Star Game. Beyond the stats, this conversation pulls back the curtain on the raw reality of independent baseball—from 11-hour overnight bus rides and bed bugs to the incredible power of stadium chaplains and team prayers. More than anything, Jacob shares how he uses his baseball platform not for personal glory, but as a bold testament to God’s healing power and presence. Key Takeaways & Highlights The Mental & Spiritual Battle of Rehab: Jacob details the deep isolation of a two-year recovery outside of affiliated ball, explaining how he leaned on the power of prayer and explicitly rebuked negative thoughts to protect his mind during the hardest days. Thriving Under Pressure in the 9th: Discover the strict, granular 12-to-14-hour daily routine of an independent ball player and why Jacob thrives on the "do-or-die" adrenaline of slamming the door shut as a closer. The Reality of the "Indy Ball" Grind: A candid look at the unglamorous side of chasing a dream, featuring late-night drives, hostile hotel environments, and the deep player camaraderie built through shared struggle. America's Pastime as a Platform: Why baseball serves as a unique bridge for patriotism, family connection, and spreading the Gospel. A Full-Circle All-Star Moment: Jacob recalls his favorite highlights from the past season, including closing out a spectacular Friday night game with his parents on the field to watch the fireworks with him for the first time since his surgery.

Helping Children Flourish: Parent-Informed Social Narratives to Support Readiness for Upper Limb Rehabilitation in Cerebral Palsy

In the third episode of this series, Dr. Stacey Clardy discusses treatment options and ongoing management. Show transcript:  Dr. Stacey Clardy: This is The Neurology Minute. I'm Stacey Clardy from the Salt Lake City VA at the University of Utah. This is the third episode today in our four-part series on Rett syndrome, and we're going to talk about treatment options and ongoing management. There is still no curative therapy for Rett syndrome and management remains largely supportive and multidisciplinary. But there is now an FDA-approved treatment, trofinetide, for adults and children two years of age and older with Rett syndrome. Trofinetide is a synthetic analog of glypromate. It's thought to modulate neuroinflammation and synaptic function, right? Because Rett syndrome involves difficulty with synaptic function. Clinical trials demonstrated improvements in some of the core Rett symptoms, but of course, as always, treatment decisions are going to require an individualized discussion, particularly given some common adverse effects such as diarrhea and vomiting. Beyond disease-specific therapy, management remains symptom driven. Given that epilepsy is common and may be refractory, careful EEG correlations are often necessary. Of course, the breathing abnormalities like hyperventilation and apnea are fairly characteristic and can fluctuate over time so need to be monitored, and gastrointestinal dysfunction, nutritional challenges, other sleep disturbances, and scoliosis require ongoing monitoring and intervention when relevant. Rehabilitation therapies, physical, occupational, and speech, are foundational throughout life. A key principle here is anticipatory management, right? Many of the complications, like cardiac conduction abnormalities and bone health issues, can be identified early and addressed early with better outcomes when Rett syndrome patients have coordinated care. That's it for today. Be sure to listen to the other Neurology Minute episodes in this series on Rett syndrome, and check back for our next and final episode, where we will cover care team essentials and multidisciplinary management. I'm Stacey Clardy for the minute.

Mackenzie Shirilla's legal options are essentially gone. The conviction stands. The appeals are exhausted. The post-conviction petition was denied. She's serving fifteen years to life and won't see a parole board until 2037. So the question shifts from "can she win legally" to "what does she do now" — and criminal defense attorney Bob Motta says the answer to that question matters more than most people realize.The Netflix documentary put her back in the public eye, and the result was mixed at best. She came across as remorseful on camera, but a fellow inmate immediately undercut that image. Her pre-crash social media — the TikTok persona, the image obsession — is still circulating and being used to characterize her. The families remain publicly active and opposed to any leniency. And her consistent claim of memory loss, whether true or not, gives a parole board nothing to work with.Parole boards don't just look at the crime. They look at what you've done since. Accountability. Growth. Rehabilitation. Evidence that you understand the impact of what happened. "I don't remember" doesn't check any of those boxes — even if it's the truth.Bob Motta has advised clients on post-conviction strategy throughout his career. He examines what Mackenzie should be doing inside prison right now — the programs, the accountability posture, the decisions about public exposure — and whether there's a realistic path to parole for someone whose public image has become as much of a prison as the facility she's in.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  Ian Jessop interviews William Angolia about his 1985 construction site accident, subsequent chronic migraines and blindness, and his recovery through cannabis use. A falling sprinkler pipe caused blunt force trauma, a detached retina, permanent blindness in the right eye, and daily debilitating migraines that left William bedridden and unable to work for three years. Prescribed pharmaceuticals, including morphine-level medications, provided insufficient relief and prevented William from holding a full-time job. In 1988, a fellow patient suggested cannabis for migraines; William researched it, found documented evidence that THC lowers eye pressure in head trauma patients, and began smoking a couple of joints daily. Within three and a half weeks of starting cannabis and stopping pharmaceuticals, William experienced his first full migraine-free day, followed by weeks, months, and then years without significant headaches. Rehabilitation also addressed the practical challenges of monocular vision — learning to turn left instead of right, choosing seating positions at events, and compensating for the right-side blind spot. William became a cannabis legalization activist, sharing his story across the Northeast and contributing to Washington D.C.'s Initiative 71 in 2010, which he helped see through to fruition. Arbitrary THC blood-level thresholds (e.g., 0.04 microns) used to define impairment are flawed — no scientific test exists to determine actual cannabis impairment, meaning regular users can be convicted of DUI without being impaired. A pre-travel abstinence period before visiting Malaysia highlighted that stopping cannabis caused migraines to return, reinforcing its ongoing therapeutic role. Doctors in Thailand confirmed they had no pharmaceutical equivalent that could match cannabis for William's pain relief, and none discouraged its continued use. Cannabis access in Thailand is becoming more restrictive despite its 6,000-year history as an herb, driven by government desire for control within the monarchy. William advocates strongly for the right to home-grow, offering free grow classes and teaching tincture, oil, and extraction methods to reduce dependence on heavily taxed dispensary products. Replenishing the endocannabinoid system with cannabinoids allows the body to heal itself naturally — William argues this is straightforward science that pharmaceuticals and poor lifestyle choices undermine. Beyond migraines, William credits cannabis and healthy living for avoiding major health issues, surviving heavy COVID-era exposure, and managing hip pain without any pharmaceutical pain medication at age 69. Gratitude centers on being alive, self-sufficient, and healthy — with strong family longevity (mother lived to 99) and a goal of another 20 years — while his father's early death at 59 from lung cancer reinforced his lifelong commitment to avoiding bodily pollutants.

She explains Russian authoritarian power as a “fungi” network sustained by corruption, complicity, and loyalty enforced through shared criminality, illustrating it with an example involving RZD kickbacks. The novel follows a corrupt elite mother who sends her daughter to Harvard, only for the daughter to volunteer for Ukraine, exposing the limits of money and connections and enabling a portrayal of Russian and Ukrainian society and wartime realities. Bary describes widespread fear, repression, and “infantilization” in Russia, argues for bottom-up local identity as a basis for democracy, and says Putin's system now depends on a war economy that cannot simply stop. ----------

Phil Ittner is a veteran broadcast journalist now working independently in Ukraine. Currently he's based in Kyiv and produces a weekly interview podcast "On the Edge". Disillusioned with how mainstream media was covering the historic war in Ukraine, Phil decided he had to step in and bring a professional and credible perspective to reporting from Ukraine. ----------LINKS: @PhilipIttner https://x.com/IttnerPhiliphttps://www.linkedin.com/in/phil-ittner-4180271a/https://philipittner.com/about/https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/45-the-big-interview-philip-ittner-on-the-realities/id1617276298?i=1000610636024----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

Dr. Becky Fenton started her career as a psychologist at Sing Sing Correctional Facility before being recruited to Rikers Island to supervise its psychiatric division — one of the largest and most challenging mental health systems in the country. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Becky breaks down what it was really like working inside one of America's most notorious jail systems from the other side of the cell door. She opens up about the violence and instability inside Rikers, the trauma on both sides of the system, her role in implementing Crisis Intervention Training for mental health emergencies, and what it takes to stay grounded when the environment around you is anything but. _____________________________________________ #RikersIsland #PrisonPsychology #TrueCrime _____________________________________________ Connect with Dr Becky Fenton: https://www.longislandpsychologyandconsulting.com/ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 From Prison Psychologist to Private Practice — Her Story 01:48 The Early Influences and Personality That Led Her to This Work 03:37 The Education and Career Shift Nobody Expected 06:00 How She Ended Up as a Psychologist Inside Prison 08:49 Sing Sing vs Rikers Island — The Differences Nobody Talks About 11:16 Mental Health Inside Prison vs Mental Health in Hospitals — The Reality Gap 14:24 When Security and Mental Health Priorities Collide — Who Wins 18:18 Safety Violence and What It Really Takes to Advocate for Staff 20:59 How Trauma Shapes Inmate Behavior — What Most People Get Wrong 24:15 Vicarious Trauma — What Working in Prison Does to the Staff 27:15 Crisis Intervention and Deescalation — What Actually Works Behind Bars 32:33 What a Typical Day Really Looks Like Working at Rikers Island 36:31 Suicide Watch and What Inmate Care Actually Involves 39:12 Male vs Female Jails — The Shocking Differences Nobody Discusses 44:01 A Complete Day Inside Rikers Island — Hour by Hour Reality 47:20 What Destroys New Staff and How to Survive the First Year 53:01 The Truth About Solitary Confinement — What the Research Actually Shows 56:01 Rehabilitation vs Punishment — Which One Actually Works 01:00:41 Medication Management and What Happens to Inmates at Discharge 01:03:41 The Non Clinical Duties Nobody Warns You About in Federal Systems 01:06:50 How She Switched Off After Working in One of the World's Most Stressful Environments 01:10:14 The Programs and Therapy Practices That Actually Make a Difference 01:13:11 Why She Finally Left Rikers Island — The Real Reason 01:16:12 Private Practice and Why She Still Advocates for Prison Reform 01:19:01 What She Would Tell Her Younger Self — Final Thoughts _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.
