Dr. Douglas Steinbrech joins Dr. Bass to discuss his game-changing concept of body banking. Instead of tossing out fat after liposuction, body banking preserves it and strategically reinjects it into areas like the chest, shoulders, arms, or buttocks to enhance your shape and keep your body in balance. It's not just about taking fat away. It's about sculpting, reshaping, and maximizing what you already have. This technique can also reduce the risk of that frustrating post-lipo “rebound fat,” where your body tries to make up for what was lost by storing fat in all the wrong places. Hear why fat transfer to the breasts doesn't always go as planned, and why fat tends to “stick” better in some areas than others. Drs. Bass and Steinbrech also discuss how body banking may help prevent visceral fat buildup and related health problems, the role age plays in fat graft success, and options for people who don't have much fat to begin with but still want a sculpted, athletic look. About Dr. Douglas Steinbrech Dr. Douglas Steinbrech specializes in minimally invasive aesthetics, blending this approach into both surgical and non-surgical techniques.

Real strength shows up when life knocks you down and you choose to rise with gratitude, faith, and community. Dr. Douglas Burton shares how a life-altering diagnosis transformed not just his health journey, but his entire perspective on what it means to truly live well. From the operating room to the other side of the patient experience, he opens his heart about the emotional weight of caregiving, the spiritual awakening that came through illness, and the small, intentional shifts that have brought him greater peace than ever before. His story is a powerful reminder that joy is not found in doing more—it's found in slowing down, showing up, and surrounding yourself with love. Key Takeaways: Slowing down and creating space for joy can be more healing than constant striving. Practicing daily gratitude builds emotional resilience and a deeper sense of peace. Community support is a critical part of mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Faith and surrender can bring clarity and calm when facing uncertainty or illness. True healing isn't just physical—it's also spiritual, relational, and deeply personal.   About Dr. Douglas Burton: Douglas Burton, M.D. is the Marc and Elinor Asher Spine Professor and Chair of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at the University of Kansas Medical Center.

In this feature segment of asPERusual, guest listener and patient partner Kathy Smith offers a short recap and her key takeaways from last week's episode of asPERusual focused on patient engagement within the Can-SOLVE CKD Network -- a Canada-wide network of patients, scientists, and health care professionals devoted to creating innovative kidney care solutions. Tune in to this short (~10 minute) episode, regardless of whether you want to compare reflections or get the Coles notes of the full Can-SOLVE CKD Network episode.Episode Transcript:Anna:Hi everyone! Welcome to onePERspective - a bi-weekly segment in which patient partner Kathy Smith shares a synopsis and key reflections from the previous episode of asPERusual -- a podcast for practical patient engagement. My name is Anna Chudyk and I am asPERusual's host. In today's episode, Kathy will be commenting on S3E2 of asPERusual. In that episode, I sat down with Melanie Talson and Cathy Woods to learn all about patient engagement within the Can-SOLVE CKD Network, which is a Canada-wide network of patients, scientists, and health care professionals devoted to creating innovative kidney care solutions. Alright Kathy, lets turn it over to you and your onePERspective. Kathy Smith:Thank you, Anna and hello, everyone. I am speaking to you from the centre of Canada along the shores of Lake Superior, or Gitchigumi, the largest, deepest, coldest and cleanest freshwater lake in the world. I wish to acknowledge that my City of Thunder Bay is situated on the traditional land of the Anishinaabe peoples, including the Ojibwa of Fort William First Nation, signatories to the Robinson Superior Treaty of 1850. I thank our ancestral land keepers for centuries of sustainable stewardship of this beautiful area and for kindly sharing the bounties of this rich land with everyone. I also wish to express my appreciation for the significant contribution of the Metis nation. I am sorry for the mistakes made and mistreatment of Indigenous peoples by colonists in the past and I am committed to working together for truth and reconciliation. Miigwetch.If ever there was an award for a solid and sustainable engagement strategy, today's Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Px engagement platform would certainly be a strong contender. I am most impressed with how they have integrated the Indigenous voice and with their capacity-building training modules, including bi-directional Capacity Bridging.Melanie Talson & Cathy Woods from Can-SOLVE CKD: Canadians Seeking Solutions and Innovations to Overcome Chronic Kidney Disease describe their network as a national partnership of lived experience patients; learned experience researchers; laboured experience health care workers and clinicians; and leaders – the managers and policy makers. The four “Ls” work together to transform treatment and care and improve the outcome for those living with debilitating chronic kidney disease.Can-SOLVE's tagline is “the right treatment for the right person at the right time and place.” No small task when you consider CKD affects a disproportionate number of Indigenous people many of whom live in remote, even fly-in, communities. That is why I am so impressed to see that this group has a strategy for addressing that barrier to care. Can-SOLVE has an Indigenous-led partner group, IPERC -Indigenous Peoples Engagement and Research Council. IPERC's focus is on Indigenous kidney care challenges unique to this harder to reach, often underserved, group. Cathy, of the Bear Clan, is a member of Naicatchewenin First Nation in Northwestern Ontario, is the patient partner and a lead researcher of the Kidney Check Research Project which seeks to screen, triage and treat Indigenous people living in rural and remote communities in the three western provinces and British Columbia. Patient partners within both groups prioritize and co-lead research projects like this one, ensuring meaningful and relevant engagement at every stage. Furthermore, there is a Patient Governance Council – a leadership team made up of representatives of both interest groups who decide on plans and policies that affect the entire CKD community.Our speakers have done a great job describing each of the 6 Rs upon which they built their engagement platform: Respect, Responsibility, Reciprocity, Relevance, Relationships and Realness. Realness is a term I had not heard of in engagement platforms before. But I do understand and appreciate its inclusion. We need to fit our hats to the task as I like to call it. Our real life has given each of us many hats, but which shall we wear to best meet the asks of the task? Patients and providers work best when they find common ground, common interests and common language with lived experience input “as is”. Bring your real, authentic self to the table. Respect for individual differences and perspectives sees real-world impacts.Equally impactful is how patient partners like Cathy describes her involvement in CANSOLVE as healing, empowering, and deeply purposeful – creating a space for ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. As the famous anthropologist, Margaret Mead, phrased it; never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. It's the only thing that ever has.”Finally, I'd like to acknowledge CANSOLVE's Bridging Capacity. Building capacity is an integral component of patient engagement strategies. Training modules are co-designed to buildup the knowledge and provide the necessary tools for patients to engage in a research project. These helps are unidirectional in scope. So how does Bridging Capacity differ from Building Capacity? Bridging Capacity is bi-directional. Patients and providers both learn from each other. I cant think of a better tool for bridging the power differential and creating strong work relationships!All in all, CANSOLVE and IPERC have really empowered patients to enhance research relevance to better the outcome for all with chronic kidney disease.PERsonally SpeakingMy three take-aways:Could this Indigenous Partnership (IPERC) model be used to incorporate the voice of many other underserved populations – the remote; the homeless; the new Canadians? These groups are surely concerned about their health, but they do not want to, or cannot, come to our Table. So, meet them where they are at with separate interest groups run by their own leaders and their own peers. Then the leaders of the various interest groups could come together to form an overarching Senior Team. This makes for a much more inclusive and diverse Patient Engagement Platform!Capacity Bridging This was a term I had not heard of before but I very much like it for the added emphasis it brings to an engagement platform. This bridging is a bi-directional sharing of knowledge between the lived experience experts and the learned experience experts. It stresses the importance of respecting that all members of the team bring unique experiences and skill sets. This concept guides mentorship, training, and peer review practices across the network. Patient partners are highly valued for their different hats they bring to a task on the TEAM: Together Everyone Accomplishes More. Together is better!Relationship Building is at the heart and soul of every Patient Engagement Platform. It takes a patience of time and a whole lot of money. It must be accounted for in research budgets and run by a paid, highly trained and skilled multi-tasker manager. Anything less jeopardizes the success of the engagement platform and perhaps the relevance and value of the research itself.At this time, I would like to thank everyone for the privilege and the opportunity of speaking to you on these podcasts. In particular, I want to do a huge shout out to my heroine, Anna, for including me and asking me to do these podcasts. As Anna is moving forward with the pediatric and youth groups, I want a fresh voice to help her with these podcasts. But in any case, I wish Anna all the best as she goes forward with this labor of love. I can't tell you how much time and effort Anna has shown and the passion that she has dedicated to helping all patients engage meaningfully and relevantly with academic partners in research. Thank you. And happy trails, Anna. Anna:Thanks Kathy for this, and all of the other onePERspective's to date. As you know, your encouraging emails summarizing all you learned from the release of this podcast's initial episodes were the impetus for creating the onePERspective segment. I've really enjoyed hearing your reflections and collaborating with you on the creation of these episodes. Even with all your engagement related jet setting, I could also count on you to come through on your episode… and somehow find the time for it. Big hugs to you and I'm glad we have research we're collaborating on together so it's not actually a good bye. Moving forward this season, I'm going to continue with onePERspective but it's taking a different twist. A big reason why I have chosen to focus the remainder of season 3's episodes on engaging children, youth, and families is for my own learning as I expand my research program to focus on these populations. I am currently moving in this direction through a pharmacogenetics study I am collaborating on with my colleague Abdullah Maruf, as well as work I am doing with colleagues to redesign pediatric-to-adult transition care services for youth and families living with congenital heart disease. Sasha Kullman is a talented PhD trainee working under my supervision on the congenital heart disease project. Given her passion and penchant for patient engagement and knowledge translation, I thought that it would be a great opportunity for her to take over onePERspective this season, and offer a trainee perspective on her take-aways from the episodes. She's very brilliant and I can't wait to hear her episode takeaways as her insights always make me think.In the next full episode of asPERusual, I kick off the rest of this season's focus on how to meaningfully engage children, youth, and families in health research. Guests Brianna Hunt, Onalee Garcia-Alecio, and Michelle Roy, will share their experience with engaging in the iCARE study—Canada's largest cohort of youth with type 2 diabetes. We'll also discuss what makes engagement meaningful over time, the value of lived experience, and practical tips for involving youth and families in ways that are inclusive, trauma-informed, and fun.

Detroit News politics editor and columnist Chad Livengood sits down with Citizen Research Council's infrastructure analyst Eric Paul Dennis, PE, discussing the Research Council's most recently released, 86-page paper: "Data-Driven Assessment of Michigan's Road Program" which makes the case that Michigan legislators should overhaul the way the state divvies up money for road improvements. The report was released as there is currently a push by state leaders to find billions of dollars in additional infrastructure funding. Among other recommendations, it describes Michigan's primary road funding law, known as Public Act 51 of 1951, as "a decades-long failure." "The bottom line is that PA 51 is obsolete," the report said. "Increasing Michigan's road funding without fundamental reform to how it is spent would be a disservice to citizens of the state." The Detroit News coverage of the research.

With all the debate about clean energy these days, propane has not been getting much attention as another option. But, Mike Newland, Director of Ag Business Development at the Propane Education and Research Council, says we've now got opportunities to grow the supply of renewable propane.

Industrial Talk is onsite at PowerGen and talking to Bert Warner, Director of Commercial BD with Propane Education & Research Council about "abundant fuel for an expanding energy market". Scott MacKenzie interviews Bert Warner, Director of Commercial Business Development at the Propane Education and Research Council (PERC), at the Power Gen event in Dallas, Texas. Bert discusses the abundance of propane in the U.S., with 40 billion gallons extracted annually, of which only 10 billion are used domestically. He emphasizes propane's green energy credentials, resiliency, and cost-effectiveness compared to natural gas and electricity. Bert highlights the importance of responsible energy diversification and the need for greater public education on energy sources. He encourages listeners to visit propane.com for more information. Action Items [ ] Provide more information about propane and its benefits to the public [ ] Connect with Bert Warner on LinkedIn to discuss propane further Outline Introduction and Welcome Scott MacKenzie introduces the Industrial Talk Podcast, emphasizing its focus on industry innovations and trends. Scott highlights the importance of the PowerGen event in Dallas, Texas, and its significance for the power and fuel industries. Scott introduces Bert Warner, Director of Commercial Business Development for the Propane Education and Research Council (PERC). Bert provides a brief background on his role and the council's mission to promote propane use in commercial sectors, particularly in power generation. Current Energy Crisis and Propane's Role Bert discusses the ongoing energy crisis, emphasizing the growing gap between energy demand and supply. Scott and Bert agree on the need for a diverse energy mix, including natural gas, hydrogen, and propane. Bert stresses the importance of keeping propane in the energy conversation due to its potential to address the current crisis. Scott and Bert discuss the societal tendency to react to crises rather than being proactive in energy solutions. Propane's Abundance and Green Energy Aspects Bert shares statistics on propane extraction and usage in the US, highlighting its abundance. Bert explains that the US uses only a small fraction of the propane extracted, with a significant amount exported. Bert emphasizes propane's green energy credentials compared to the national average electric grid. Bert discusses the resiliency of propane, particularly in providing energy to remote or growing areas where traditional infrastructure is costly to extend. Propane's Flexibility and Market Competitiveness Bert explains the flexibility of propane in terms of delivery and usage, making it an attractive option for various sectors. Bert compares propane to diesel, highlighting its environmental friendliness and lower maintenance requirements. Scott and Bert discuss the growing conversation around decarbonization and the role of propane in this context. Bert emphasizes the need for responsible energy diversification to meet high energy demands without compromising on environmental impact. Retrofitting and Fuel Switching Scott inquires about the ease of retrofitting systems to use propane instead of diesel or natural gas. Bert explains that retrofitting involves bringing in new tanks and piping, but the process is not overly complex. Bert clarifies that it is not necessarily fuel...

I miss my gas stove. I used to have one in a home I first lived in after moving to Massachusetts. There was something about the click-click-click and then the spark of the flame. Being able to see it and adjust it accordingly based on how much heat I wanted to generate for whatever I was cooking. It felt magically.Come to think about it, my love for a gas stove may extend back to watching my parents light cigarettes from the flame. I would guess it is a lot harder to light a smoke off an electric stove.  To this day, second-hand smoke makes me think of my childhood.But I never really gave much thought to how my home is powered. I was pretty shocked when I moved to Boston that I had an oil tank in my basement. Didn't know that was a thing. Beyond that, I was pretty ambivalent about what provided heat and warming (and flame) to my house, as long as it worked.That's why I was so intrigued to talk with Tucker Perkins, who is my guest today on Experience by Design. Tucker is the President and CEO of the Propane Education and Research Council. I didn't know we even had a Propane Education and Research Council, but it turns out we do. As their website states, “PERC was authorized by the U.S. Congress with the passage of the Propane Education and Research Act (PERA), signed into law on Oct. 11, 1996.” Also, “The Propane Education & Research Council is a nonprofit that provides leading propane safety and training programs and invests in research and development of new propane-powered technologies.”In the energy space, it also turns out that propane is the little kid on the block, and we love an underdog at Experience by Design. But like with everything on the podcast, this story is about more than propane. We dig into the larger systems perspective when it comes to energy, safety, and sustainability. We talk about how fire has a primal appeal, and how appliances are products that create pleasure. And we talk about how education is vital to behavioral change and getting people to buy into a new idea and system. Ultimately, we need to be fostering critical thinking, coupled with effectively communicating research and knowledge, to get people to make changes in their lives.Propane Education and Research Council https://propane.comTucker Perkins https://www.linkedin.com/in/tucker-perkins-8972a510/ Gary David YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@garydavid9535

While men may not call it “beauty,” they're still focused on their appearance and the image they project. Many want to recapture how they looked when they had more time for the gym or before genetics started making changes. New York plastic surgeon Dr. Douglas Steinbrech, a specialist in male plastic surgery, joins Dr. Bass to discuss what procedures men want most, how their approach to plastic surgery differs from women's, and why techniques must be tailored to male anatomy. Dr. Steinbrech's game-changing body banking technique uses your own fat, removing it from unwanted areas and adding it to areas that need volume. Unlike traditional lipo, body banking avoids visceral fat buildup and doesn't require extreme diet changes to maintain results.

His "wide path" philosophy confidently asserts that we can, and are, addressing climate change.He and Ted discuss the practicality and accessibility of the "electrifying everything" approach. Tucker highlights the scientific facts and economic realities around going all electric, and addresses how decarbonization can be dramatically accelerated with today's technologies. He concludes by sharing his optimism, and encouraging action to support "wide path" climate and human-friendly solutions.

In today's show Andy discusses the Farm Progress Show with show coordinator Matt Jungmann, Dustin talks with Mike Newland of the Propane Education and Research Council, and Mark speaks with Mitch Heisler of Wyffels Hybrids at the Wyffels open house in Ames.

Our guest on this week's episode is Jim Bunsey, director of commercial business development at the Propane Education & Research Council, better known in the industry as PERC. With the goal of reducing carbon footprints and clearing the air, supply chain managers are seeking cleaner technologies to power their operations. Our guest shares that the full energy cycle should be considered when choosing power for material handling equipment and transportation vehicles, including the carbon footprint of the energy creation, such as power produced by fossil-burning power plants.The big news in North American supply chains this week  has been the Canadian rail stoppage. This has been a real whirlwind of huge potential damage to retail and manufacturing operations at a time when supply chains were already in somewhat vulnerable positions. Yesterday, the railroads were locked down over a labor dispute. But last night, the Canadian government stepped in to order workers to report and to resolve their labor issues with binding arbitration. How fast can the railroads get back on track and what does this mean for supply chains?Companies running large warehouses are looking for ways to improve performance and increase efficiency, all while dealing with persistent market pressures like labor shortages and space constraints. For many companies, warehouse automation is the answer to those problems. We look at two examples where automation is making a difference in warehouse operations. Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. A brand new series of ten episodes just dropped on the "State of Logistics." The episodes provide in-depth looks into the current states of key transportation modes, such as trucking, rail, air, and ocean.

State budget officials met on May 17, 2024, to finalize state revenue estimates that will be used as guideposts for ongoing FY2025 budget deliberations. The Research Council's Bob Schneider and Craig Thiel provide insights into what the new estimates mean as lawmakers wrap up the budget as well as the budget outlook for Fiscal Year 2026. Scheider said the conference experts delivered a positive outlook, stating that the forecast for the national and state economy was generally good: real GDP, the key metric to monitor the health of the national economy, is expected to continue to grow through the next few years at a normal, healthy rate. Inflation is falling back, though not quite as fast in Michigan as it is nationally; incomes are growing, and Michigan's unemployment rate remains low. The revenue conference, held in January and May each year, brings together the State Treasurer, the Michigan Legislature's top budget advisors and economists who present information on the state and national economy, workforce, wages, the auto industry, and spending patterns by businesses and the public in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. The May Revenue Estimating Conference is a key step for state lawmakers in finalizing the state budget for the upcoming fiscal year, which begins October 1. Economists and state officials determined that revenue estimates in May showed a slight increase for the state's General Fund and a slight decrease for the School Aid Fund from January estimates. Schneider says the most important takeaway is that revenues continue to grow. Revenues for the state General Fund is expected to grow about 1.5 percent, or just over $200 million. School Aid Fund revenues were adjusted down to about $160 million, or about 1 percent, from January, and that largely reflects slightly slower sales tax growth. "During COVID, people shifted their spending patterns towards goods and 'stuff.' People were buying stuff rather than services. So now, maybe we're seeing a sort of return to normal on that front, which is slowing sales tax growth."

Bridge Michigan data reporter Mike Wilkinson talks with Research Council infrastructure analyst Eric Paul Dennis, who recently published a report showing that Michigan's road pavement quality ranks 40th nationally and 10th out of 11 among peer states. While Michigan's roads still lag those of other states, they are improving, thanks to more funding in the system. However, challenges remain, as future funding to maintain the new construction, critical to upkeep, will also be needed to make payments on current road bonding.

A prequel to ‘No better than flipping a coin,'” and “Saving Normal: A new look at behavioral incompatibilities and dog relinquishment to shelters.” Additional peer reviewed publications include “Who is minding the bibliography? Daisy chaining, dropped leads, and other bad behavior using examples from the dog bite literature,” and “Defaming Rover: Error-Based Latent Rhetoric in the Medical Literature on Dog Bites.” All of this comes from an abiding interest in finding the very best information about the remarkable relationship between dogs and people. She maintains a research library for the National Canine Research Council for use by academics, dog professionals, media, and the public.Janis first pursued a career as a college teacher, counselor, and administrator.
