Over the years, "autism" has gone from being virtually unheard of to a buzz word to, nowadays, a word a part of the common vernacular. Most people have at least heard of autism or have a personal connection to the disorder. Many people tend to think of a younger child, perhaps preschool - elementary age when they think about a person with autism. But teenagers and adults experience the joys and challenges of autism, too, along with their families. How does autism change in the teen years? What stays the same? How can we help our young adults thrive in the high school years without hitting the panic button and stressing over academics? Raun K. Kaufman is an author, international lecturer, and former CEO of the Autism Treatment Center of America who has worked with hundreds of families just like yours and mine. He's here to help us navigate these years with our wonderful children and encourage us to live beautifully in the tension between unconditional acceptance of our teen and helping him to grow. Join us today as Raun and I explore autism in the teen years. In this episode you’ll hear: Raun’s autism story Why people don’t talk much about autism in the teen years…and why we should How we as homeschoolers are uniquely positioned to help our kids How parents can handle the pressures of academics in the teen years Why your attitude has way more to do with your teen’s behavior than you think A message for the mom who thinks it’s too late to help her teen What next steps you can take to help your teen Show Notes What is The Son-Rise Program®?

“How do I ask if my date is still using dating apps?”...“How do I ask if they want to do a video chat instead of texting?”...“How do I ask if they want to make things official?” These are some of the most common questions I get from Coffee Meets Bagel Daters. Basically: I want to know X, Y, Z about my date but I don’t know how to communicate it. Why is it so hard for us to ask these kinds of questions, especially considering how badly we want an answer? Well, for me, when I was dating.. I didn’t want my date to think that I liked them too much, or I’m needy, or god forbid, think I’m some kind of weirdo... Whatever the reason – communicating with people we are just starting to get to know is HARD. Well, today I’m here to share with you my little secret. Several years ago, I discovered a tool called Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and it completely transformed how I communicate not only with my date, but with everyone in my life. I was no longer holding back what I wanted to say out of fear of rejection. My dates started commenting on how refreshingly different I was from other people they’ve dated. Dating has felt so different since then. Today I am so excited to have my own teacher Jenna Card here to train all of us on this concept of NVC. She is a certified NVC trainer with 25 years of teaching experience. She excels at facilitating heart-centered connection. She helps businesses, communities, and individuals create more effective and fulfilling relationships through NVC. This is “Save the Date,” a dating survival kit from Coffee Meets Bagel. Each episode, our Chief Dating Officer Dawoon Kang will sit down with a guest expert to tackle some of your most burning dating questions and explore what it takes to ultimately reach your goals: going on great dates that lead to a lasting, serious relationship. SHOW NOTES: What is Non-Violent Communication? [5:18] Confidence is attractive [11:15] Letting go of assumptions in communication [15:28] Taking people at face value in a relationship [20:18] What can I do to create a connection in this moment? [37:15] How to navigate when communication gets sticky [47:08] QUOTES: “If I can self-connect and know what's happening inside myself and be aware of what I want to create in this exchange, my way of being changes. How I interact with people changes.” [6:16] “We talk about wanting to be confident, and confidence is attractive. I think that confidence is a sense of groundedness in yourself, a sense of assuredness in yourself.” [11:05] “When you can let go of assuming anything about anyone else and just be curious, you will transform your connection with people.” [15:28] “My internal phrase is ‘Thank you for taking care of yourself,’ when I hear someone's no – and that helps me feel less defensive about a no.” [24:10] “Ask for what you want. No one is going to know what you want unless you're able to ask for it. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there.” [51:52]

A little glimpse into the cop conversations taking place every day and night, cop to cop, cruiser to cruiser.Show Notes:What’s up Terence,I really fought with myself on whether or not to send an email and voice my opinion – but with America in the state that it is in, I cannot be silent. I have been listening to your podcast for years and enjoy it very much and I think you speak truth from a place of experience and high moral standards.I am a police officer in north Alabama and have been on the job since 2018 (night shift: 1900-0700); a rookie for some, but for my department, a “more senior officer” because of staffing issues. I have a bachelors in Criminal Justice and a minor in Behavioral Science.I am responding to your last episode, “BIG Media – Do They Care?.” I know you’re busy, so I’ll get straight to the question asked: What are cops talking about at work when they’re door-to-door?The conversations I’ve had with my coworkers are mostly negative and full of anger and frustration, as you can understand. It seems that everyday, a different politician, or media head, in a different city has some sort of negative opinion on police procedures or use of force (UOF). Politicians and media staff who have never been in Law Enforcement, who have never taken a college course in police procedure, and who have (most likely) never been in a fight with anyone in their life. Now this is of no surprise. We both know that many politicians and media figures will only repeat the “mantra” of the “woke.” It doesn’t matter what they truly believe as free-thinking humans. It only matters how they can virtue signal to the mindless zombies that listen / watch their program. We all know, and have seen, that when the ‘cards are down,’ they WANT the police to protect them.The statement that is said by my co-workers and I ROUTINELY is “Let those mother fuckers ride along with us for one week, and they’ll see what we do.”They’ll see the good we do.They’ll see the struggles we deal with.They’ll see the paperwork and documentation involved in the most minor of situations.They’ll see the horrific scenes WE see.They’ll see the danger which we face.They’ll see how arresting someone who doesn’t want to be arrested requires FORCE in some way, shape or form.And most importantly, they’ll see the lives we save. A LOT of them being black lives.I think frustration is the key word in all of this. Frustration at the people who call us murders and racists, while in the same breath cry out for us to come save them from evil when the reality of this world sets in; reality that manifests itself when people come from behind their keyboard. Frustration at that fact that we try to be the best public servants we can be, yet we are limited by our humanity.Something I hear often is, “The police are the most unaccountable group in the US.” This is said often because of Qualified Immunity, and because people don’t understand the case law that allows us to act in certain ways in certain situations. They don’t understand that the wording of laws and regulations are black and white, when the world is nothing but 1 million shades of gray.To this I ask, “What other profession in the world has a policy for everything you do? What other profession in the world straps cameras to your body in order to ensure your actions are within that policy. What other profession in the world straps microphones to your body to ensure that what you say is within policy? What other profession in the world double checks itself by having another camera and ANOTHER microphone in the car you drive to double check that you’re within policy? What other profession in the world exists that someone can ‘dog-cuss’ you and spit in your face, yet you must remain like a stone statue in your professionalism?”The answer is that there isn’t one. Police are the most accountable group of humans on earth – and they should be. We have the power to take someone, put them in a jail cell and take away their rights for a period of time later determined by a judge. Make no mistake, police need to be accountable for their actions. The piece of human garbage that killed George Floyd needs to be UNDER the jail. I am in no way excusing poor police conduct or insinuating that it doesn’t exist. As police officers, we can do better and we will do better as training and new skills emerge. However, the public conflates police misconduct with acceptable techniques and policy to effect an arrest / out come. They don’t understand that some things with Law Enforcement WILL not and SHOULD not change when it comes to UOF. In addition, police brutality is, statistically speaking, a NON-ISSUE when it comes to police conduct. Yet, because people feel the need to criticize the police unjustly, police will always been deemed the “bad guy.”I think the bottom line is that police will always be “the bad guy.” Because there needs to be a bad guy for some Americans. It doesn’t matter that the police don’t make the laws or make the policy. The police are the ones telling folks, “You cant do that.” And people don’t like being told what to do.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------My next point: defund the police? Go for it. In fact, I would rather the police be disbanded altogether. Because guess what? I’ll find another job – I’ll find a way to feed my family. However, you won’t find any one to come save you when someone kicks in your door at 2:00am. YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN.People don’t see the good we do. They don’t want to see the good we do. They don’t see the crime we prevent, or the lives we save. They only want to see the worst in us – because someone has to be the “boogieman.”In conclusion, I’ll end with this with a quote which becomes more and more true everyone day I put on the badge:“There is no nice way to arrest a potentially dangerous, combative suspect. The police are our bodyguards; our hired fists, batons and guns. We pay them to do the dirty work of protecting us. The work we’re too afraid, too unskilled, or too civilized to do ourselves. We expect them to keep the bad guys out of our businesses, out of our cars, out of our houses, and out of our faces. We just don’t want to see how it’s done.-Charles H.

In my late twenties, I did not believe in myself. Before I realized I had a story worth sharing – or in the truth that we all have a story worth sharing – my longtime friend, Rusty Keeley, believed enough to invest in having me speak to his company. He was my first client. That inflection point launched my speaking career. He then directly and indirectly introduced me to more than 100 speaking clients. He wanted nothing out of these introductions other than to see a life-giving story spread into a marketplace. Subsequently, he’s challenged me as a friend and board member to dramatically grow as a speaker and business owner, not for my own self interest, but to better the lives of others. It’s no surprise, then, that Rusty, CEO of Keeley Companies which does $500 million in revenue, describes his job as: “I get to make sure there is food on the table for the families of 1,800 Keeley’ns. I take that very seriously.” It’s his people-first mentality that has both grown his company’s bottom line 100x during his tenure + that has built the unmatchable culture that keep “Keeley’ns” thriving. It’s also why we chose to partner with Keeley Co. as our first ever sponsor of the Live Inspired Podcast. Today, I'm grateful to share with you Rusty's generous heart, caring spirit + business intel that will inspire you to choose significance over success. SHOW NOTES: What's a Keeley'n? Keeley Companies are dedicated to the safety, well-being, and career growth of every employee, called Keeley'n, and continuing to strengthen the culture his father Larry Keeley instilled when starting the construction arm of the business in 1976. At 27 years old, Rusty joined the Keeley team and today is blessed to work with both his father + father-in-law. Julie Keeley, Rusty's wife of 25 years, continually inspires him to pivot success into significance including their work with World Pediatric Project, an organization that heals critically ill children around the world. Heal a child, change the world. Through WPP, the Keeley family welcome a young Jamaican boy named Ryan into their family and provided him with life-saving medical treatment, love + education. Find the opportunity: During difficult times, Rusty seeks opportunities to make an impact including partnering with the Urban League to provide tens of thousands of St. Louis families with food throughout the summer. KeeleyCares, the philanthropic arm of the business, focuses on children, health, community and education while creating a close-knit culture within the organizations.

We think one of the best ways to understand what goes into PCB assembly is to speak to the experts themselves, those who spend day in and day out building your stuff!On this week's episode we speak to Beata Laskowski, a quality control inspector at Worthington. Originally from Poland, Beata has been working in the electronics manufacturing industry for over thirteen years, seven and a half of which have been at Worthington. If you're a CircuitHub customer, it's possible you've had some back and forth communication with her answering questions on your order!PCB assembly inspection is arguably one of the most important parts of assembly process as it ensures all components are placed and soldered correctly before your finished PCBs are shipped off to you. We had a great time chatting with Beata about what her day looks like, the types of challenges she faces and how she makes sure that the boards we deliver are of top quality!Show Notes:What is the first article process like and why is it such a crucial step?We touch on how using CircuitHub has improved Beata's daily workflow.What is the inspection process like, what do we look for, and how to we make sure that the quality is there?Beata also performs a lot of rework on components. She explains some of the challenges she's faced.What are the advantages of 3D AOI inspection over 2D AOI inspection?Design recommendations:If possible, use polarity markings on your boards that are still visible once parts have been placed.If you don't have a color preference, choose green soldermask since they are the easiest to process.If you have pictures of past pcbs you've had built elsewhere, include them with your order.If you have any questions or feedback email us at contact@pickplacepodcast.com or tweet us @CircuitHub or @WAssembly!
At LONG LAST I am pleased to present Part 2 of our deep dive into the murky underworld of "Big O" - Australia's obesity organisations, and their links to Big Pharma. Join me and fearless anti-diet dietitian Mandy-Lee Noble as we reveal the disturbing progress which Novo Nordisk is making, steadily infiltrating our universities, academics, health professionals, consumer groups, and news media with one goal: to make larger bodied Aussies believe that they are diseased and need urgent treatment! And in spite of the obesity organisations repeatedly claiming to be 'transparent' about their funding sources, we keep discovering that NOTHING is what it seems! Smoke, mirrors and deflections abound, and there is SO much money being thrown at so many different groups, our heads are spinning. AND they're using weight stigma as a weapon to push their drugs and surgeries! It's diabolical double speak and it needs to be stopped. This is an episode NOT to be missed ! Show Notes What’s firing up my wonderful anti-diet dietitian guest Mandy-Lee Noble? Since our last podcast, (Ep #55 - Inside The Obesity Collective), there have been some new developments on the Big Pharma front, particularly in how they are trying to shape hysteria around weight - driving people into treatment and portraying higher weight as being a health issue in and of itself. What has really spiked Mandy’s frustration is that at the start of 2020 the esteemed journal Nature (in their medical journal ‘Nature Medicine’) released a “Consensus statement” about obesity stigma. CONTENT WARNING - we’ll be using the stigmatising ‘o’ word (obese) throughout this podcast because of how the groups we’re talking about use it. But we HATE IT because it is implicitly stigmatising! So this group released a joint international consensus statement for the ending of stigma of the ‘o’ word (with that stigmatising word in the title!) We thought … maybe they’re starting to do the right thing? But … no. Upon reading, it reveals itself as just another push to get people into treatment simply because they are in a larger body. And what might be influencing this paper? Let’s check how many times Novo Nordisk is mentioned in this statement as a ‘conflict of interest’ … it’s in the double digits. 20 times, out of 40 authors. Novo Nordisk isn’t the only conflict of interest. The major supporters of this paper were pushing surgical devices for bariatric surgery (Ethicon). Mandy has issues about the use of the word ‘stigma’ here. Weight stigma is when you’re treated poorly just due to your weight, which we know is an epidemic and happening all the time and leading to poor health outcomes and disengagement from healthcare. When these industry groups use that word, they consider it a barrier to people using treatment! It’s all just dollar-signs to them. In the spirit of transparency - let’s go through the conflicts of interest for Louise and Mandy. Hope you’ve got some time …. (Louise played a cricket sound). ;) Basically fuck all, right? We’re not getting paid. We’re here for love, not money - not for the vested interest of corporations or even of ourselves. This kind of ‘investigative journalism’ research has an impact on our mental health, for sure! Mandy arcs up at the assumption that people at higher weights need treatment for disease - the stigma is there in the assumption. Let’s reflect on what happened after the last podcast. There were unexpected ripples from that episode. The powers that be at Obesity Australia were listening … either that or there were some totally weird coincidences. Some of the coincidences: the fact sheets disappeared! The fact sheets telling people that chips were lethal and to drink Diet Coke to put off their hunger, all of the magic 1920’s weight loss tips have vanished. The whole oldy-worldy Obesity Australia website has vanished and replaced with a trendy new Obesity Collective website. This all happened within 2 weeks of our last podcast with Mandy. There was a bit of an MIA issued in the last podcast for the Weight Issues Network - a consumer group that just didn’t seem to exist, until it magically appeared very soon after the podcast aired. We wondered, where are they getting the money from? Mandy sent them a Facebook message asking, and was told that the director would be in touch. Tiffany Petrie, director of The Obesity Collective, did reach out and offered to meet us for a coffee, which we accepted. We then learned Petrie would be bringing some friends to the coffee (some backup?). Immediately before the coffee date, they … pulled out! Petrie said she would be too busy for months to meet. The offer is still open from Mandy and Louise! On the types of articles that are being reposted on the WIN Facebook page, which has a huge following - at the moment there’s 100 people following, which includes Louise and Mandy. It’s funny that this group that’s meant to be addressing weight stigma reposts so many stigmatising articles. Things about the ‘war on childhood obesity’, and other articles that make Mandy go “wow”. Overall though, there isn’t too much action happening on that page. Mandy was contacted by some journalists to comment on the funding that Obesity Australia receives, and was pleased to see the table she provided was reproduced entirely in one of the articles (but without acknowledgement). The Medical Republic released a podcast and media article, which Louise came away from a bit disappointed - the title of the article was framed as ‘why is this being battled out between skinny people’, as if HAES Australia is battling in the ‘war on obesity’. HAES Australia is a body without industry funding to support people who want to provide weight-neutral care. Whereas the WIN is a ‘patient’ group which frames obesity as a disease. Completely different agendas. Mandy wanted the title of this podcast to be “Obesity Australia, if you are listening” - a reference to Russia and Trump, and how Obesity Australia seemed to be listening to the last podcast. Obesity Australia, if you ARE listening and if you REALLY are serious and want to end weight stigma, DO THESE THREE THINGS WE’LL TALK ABOUT HERE. Number 1: Advocate for medical professionals to disclose industry funding when they are talking to the media and/or their patients. It’s about informed consent! What is behind the advice that someone is receiving? If it’s money, that’s important information to know. A good example recently from Channel 9 News in a short segment called ‘Study hoped to decrease obesity stigma’. It’s just a minute or two long. We’ve seen all the ‘war on obesity’ stories, and this is a new take - obesity stigma?! But when you watch the story, it’s nothing new at all. The story is tremendously stigmatising with all the same language about ‘battling’ weight and obesity, framing it as the enemy. It also uses ‘headless fatty’ images, of people in larger bodies with their heads not shown, carrying their fast food lunches around as it was probably filmed on a lunch break. The program banged on about rates of overweight and obesity as if they were the rates of people who were unwell - as if everyone in those groups is diseased. Life expectancy, however, continues to rise (shh). The study mentioned in the story was QUITE hard to get hold of. It’s not even a new study, it was published in February 2019. At least, we think this is the study because they haven’t referenced it adequately in the story. Our statistics match up with theirs, so we think it’s the same one. And the study itself has NOTHING to do with stigma. The title is “Gaps to bridge: misalignment between perception, reality and action in obesity”. But the gap is ‘how to get people to treatment’ - why aren’t more fat people asking for help from their doctors? That’s basically the only question asked in the study, and ‘weight stigma’ doesn’t appear in the study. None of the researchers are weight stigma researchers. Dr Georgia Regis gives an expert opinion as an ‘obesity physician and researcher’ that people in larger bodies need to seek medical help. She’s using the big assumption that everyone in a larger body requires treatment. And was this opinion out of the goodness of her heart? Or … perhaps because she has some vested interest that isn’t declared in this piece? Dr Regis actually has several conflicts of interest to declare, which we see on the research articles we read - but people seeing her speak on the news don’t get that declaration of conflict of interest. Dr Regis actually received $43,000 over three years from Novo Nordisk, a company that produces weight loss drugs. And that’s not the only treatment industry that she’s accepted fees from - there are other payments here from companies that make products and treatments for bariatric surgery. Dr Regis may of course be giving unbiased and evidence-based opinions. Either way though, just as she is required to do in research, she should be declaring these conflicts of interest to the media she speaks to and TO HER PATIENTS. Transparency! It’s even in the Obesity Australia principles! Fun fact: Novo Nordisk (you’ll never guess) actually completely funded this research paper. They also have made other payments to the authors on the paper, and this is on top of paying for the researcher’s travel expenses to attend ‘author meetings’ about this paper. Where would they need to go !?? Let’s talk privilege, because it’s necessary when talking about stigma. Mandy and Louise have the privilege of being educated, having access to research, and being health professionals. When Mandy and Louise read this research, conflicts of interest have to be declared - but it’s not necessary at the moment that these conflicts are declared to media or to patients. Obesity Australia, if you’re listening - advocate for health professionals to declare conflicts of interest. Number 2: If you’re listening, Obesity Australia, be transparent about industry funded consumer groups. This includes WIN, the Weight Issues Network. WIN does say on their website (in their ‘transparency statement’) that they receive some funding from Obesity Australia, ANZOS and ANZMOS (groups with ties back to Novo Nordisk). WIN has six principles - transparency is one of them, another is about being ‘safe and empowering’ - providing “information, support, and a place to have a voice”. So, what we’re asking from them is definitely in lines with what they say they’re going to provide. One of our planned ‘coffee questions’ was about where they got their money from - and at first we were told the money was donated. Since then we’ve learned that Obesity Australia gave WIN $5,000 to start them off. We haven’t had a response about how much money they received from ANZOS and ANZMOS. It’s interesting that when we email them we get responses back from Tiffany, who is not actually part of WIN … it’s all very incestuous. On the WIN page, we learn that funding has come from the Obesity Collective, which is basically the same as Obesity Australia. The other thing is that WIN has now set themselves up as a separate charity, which means people can donate directly to them and get (possible) tax exemptions. Some other issues we have with transparency - they claim they’re getting pro bono support. We generally understand that as people providing work for free. This pro bono work is coming from PricewaterhouseCoopers. They have a long term business relationship with Novo Nordisk, having been their auditors for years. WIN has a board - some with lived experience, a clinician, a researcher and some others including a bariatric surgeon (we think some of the people in WIN are this surgeon’s patients). Who we mainly hear from is Lynne Keppler, who has done some media and spoken at obesity conferences. What is missing from the board is people who are not treatment-seeking. All of them describe themselves as a patient or someone living with a condition of ill health. The WIN also receive some training, some webinars that we’ve seen that come from Dr Arya Sharma, a Canadian bariatric physician and bigwig in Obesity Inc. Who paid for that!? Novo Nordisk paid to fly Dr Sharma in for seminars and meetings - his expertise here is helping people tell their stories and stay on track with their key messages, all of which perfectly align with Novo Nordisk. It’s pretty clear in these webinars that the key messages he wants people to stay on are that obesity is a disease, and that weight stigma is a barrier for larger bodied people seeking weight treatment such as surgery and drugs. So, what we have is a consumer group that has claimed that they are transparent, when they’re really receiving training from people who are heavily funded by Novo Nordisk and being supported by groups that are supported by Novo Nordisk and other pharma groups and bariatric supplies manufacturers. It’s hard to see how this is a transparent consumer group that is free of conflicts of interest because it’s all being funded by weight loss treatment industries. That’s our concern. What we’d like Obesity Australia to do, if they’re listening, is encourage WIN to be transparent. For example, where is the source funding coming from for events such as the one run by Dr Sharma? On their website and Facebook group, WIN encourages people to share their stories. Louise has the question ‘what for?’. Is it so their stories can be packaged up and used to further the agenda (lobbying the government to increase obesity services?). It’s a misuse of the word ‘stigma’. Talking about the stigma you’ve faced takes a toll - and then that lived experience gets media trained and packaged so you continue talking to the media and government groups about how much you need these interventions … it feels really dark. They’re not really asking people for stories about weight stigma, but about stories of treatment seeking. Number 3: If you’re listening, Obesity Australia, we’d like you to be transparent about the industry funding that health professional groups get. Health professional groups are another way to lobby for change, lobby governments, etc. It would be really good if we could see those entities also be transparent. An example: NACOS, the National Association of Clinical Obesity Services. Louise had never heard of this group before! It’s quite new, having only dropped in September 2019, after WIN dropped in August 2019. Louise read through a NACOS financial report, wondering who they are and how they came to be. Clinical Obesity Services are units in hospitals involving teams of health professionals offering weight loss services. Evan Atlantis, NACOS President, in his financial report for NACOS wrote that they are committed to improving health services and clinical services for patients with obesity, with considerable support and grant funding from … Novo Nordisk. After the NACOS formed, the Novo Nordisk money paid for Price Waterhouse Coopers (PWC) to write up a report outlining just how dire obesity is and how urgently services are needed (you guessed it, completely the same as the other Novo Nordisk reports written by PWC). PWC wrote 4 out of the 5 “obesity is dreadful” reports produced by Obesity Australia. Guess who is the secretary general of NACOS? Dr Nick … the bariatric surgeon who is also on the board of WIN. If you’re listening, Obesity Australia, here are those three things we want you to advocate for if you’re really serious about addressing weight stigma. NUMBER 1: Advocate for medical professionals to be transparent and disclose industry funding with media, general public and patients. NUMBER 2: Consumer groups that are industry funded be more transparent about all funding, in-kind support and training. NUMBER 3: That health professional groups be more transparent about their funding sources. Is there something that All Fired Up! listeners could possibly think about as you move through media and accessing healthcare? We might look at all this stuff and think “bloody hell, I’m just one person! What can I do?!”. If you’re talking to anyone medical who is trying to sell or advise you on weight loss drugs or procedures, ask them to disclose if they are receiving any payments or training from these groups … and how much. You need to know if your health professional is being potentially influenced by industry funding. Research shows that for the majority of health professionals who are inviting people to use these drugs or surgeries, their training about them has come completely from these groups that make money from them. And ask about the long term side effects! We hope this has been helpful and insightful, and rounded out our journey down the rabbit hole that we started over a year ago. Why is Novo Nordisk, a HUGE pharmaceutical company, so interested in little old Australia? Actually, this is happening globally - and that will be the subject of the next podcast. You won’t believe the size of this octopus. An update on Professor Simpson, executive director of Obesity Australia who had a grant from Novo Nordisk … we found out how much it was. Let’s remember that the research that Novo Nordisk were funding was NOT about weight stigma, but about cricket sperm. Hmm. And that grant amount for research that has nothing to do with weight stigma? 13 MILLION DOLLARS. The head of Obesity Australia, an organisation which pretends to be all about weight stigma, is being funded to the tune of $13 MILLION by Novo Nordisk in order to research cricket sperm. If people are really feeling they’re providing unbiased advice, they’d be happy to provide their conflicts of interest. When we hear messages from the head of Obesity Australia, think about it, are we really hearing the messages of Novo Nordisk? To be continued! This story isn’t over.

Cindy, FNP and Dr. Sean McCloy examine the different approaches between allopathic and functional healthcare. Finding "why" an illness is occurring is the basic philosophy of a functional approach. Today, more than ever, people are interested in making alternative care choices rather than taking prescription medications. By educating patients on the root of their illness, they can begin to understand why they are suffering and how they can be an active participant in their healing process.

He is certified in Chelation Therapy from the American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM). Besides offering Holistic Family Medicine, Dr. McCloy specializes in Intravenous Vitamin Therapies, Heavy Metal Detoxification, Functional and Nutritional Medicine, and Bioidentical Hormone Replacement. He also uses Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine in his treatment approaches. He sees all ages of patients, from newborns to geriatrics. By restoring balance to his patients, he lets their bodies, minds, and spirits heal themselves. Instead of using medicines to cover up symptoms, Dr. McCloy hunts for the roots of an illness. After treating these root causes his patients often find they can stop taking their pharmaceutical medications. In addition to enjoying his work, Sean McCloy loves going on outdoor adventures with his family, preparing gourmet vegetarian feasts, making music with his friends, playing ultimate frisbee and squash, furniture building, and exploring Maine. SHOW NOTES: What is root cause medicine? Why is there such a difference between allopathic and functional approaches? Is the Gut the number 1 place to go? Are people all different? What are the biggest contributors to poor health? How often do you find that environment as well as environmental issues are at play? Chronic health issues and the need to keep searching. How difficult is this?

Stacie Waters is the CEO and owner of Bilinski’s Sausage company. A Multi-generational sausage company that thinks about sausage a bit differently. Instead of the standard beef or pork sausages, Bilinski’s focuses on chicken and plant-based sausages. This wasn’t always the case, and there is a bit of an unorthodox legacy in how Bilinski innovates. There is always a struggle when it comes to keeping or breaking legacies and there are a ton of examples in this episode of keeping legacies and breaking them and it’s very fascinating all of the strategies Stacie used to build Bilinski’s This includes considering a name change to a family company, or growing the chicken sausage as their most valuable product, or how to properly try and introduce a plant-based line. One of the most powerful messages in this interview is changing the legacy of leadership. When Stacie joined Bilinski’s, all of the old management didn’t like her and left and Stacie had to work hard to not only right the ship, but to accelerate it. Not only did Stacie change the philosophy of Balinski’s, but grew it into a national, agile brand. That and a rant about wheat-gluten in this episode. Enjoy! About Stacie Waters Stacie is CEO and owner of Bilinski Sausage Co, a third-generation family business, headquartered in Cohoes, New York. Under her direction, Bilinski’s transformed from a regional old-world sausage company to a one of the country’s most innovative and respected organic meat processors, committed to making sausages from responsibly-raised organic chicken and simple, every-day ingredients. Stacie grew up in the meat business but began her career in the technology industry after graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree from Cornell University. Later, she earned a Masters degree from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy and served as an advisor to the US government on national security policy issues. In 2004, she returned to New York’s Capital Region to reinvent and grow the family business. Stacie lives in Clifton Park, NY with her husband and two sons and enjoys hiking, training for triathlons, and inventing new flavors of sausages in her home kitchen. Show Notes What do you say to people when you introduce yourself?: I own a sausage factory. A natural and organic sausage manufacturing plant Why do you focus on chicken?: It’s better for you from a health perspective and more sustainable than pork and beef. Chicken also mixes flavors very well I’m actually not related to Joseph Bilinski, the original founder but my family was involved in the food industry as a food distributor. My parents bought Bilinski’s Why did your parents decide to keep the name?: Bilinski’s is well known regionally and we wanted to keep that legacy. Certified Organic: The customer who was interested in organic was interested in healthier, newer flavors. Why did you create a plant-based sausage line?: It’s a reflection on how our customer eats. We use real food in a convenient form. Wheat is the oldest form of plant-based meat and it’s a lot less processed than pea protein Seitan Wheat is generally a lot less processed than all other protein isolates High Peaks Plant-based meat doesn’t have to taste like meat, it can taste like something new. Plant-based meat can fill all sorts of different niches For Bilinski’s, we choose a customer who wants minimally processed Because you do both meat and vegetarian, how have sales been during the pandemic?: Unfortunately, it’s really hard to tell. Our meat products are still at the forefront because they’re easy ti buy and stock up We know our products solve a sustainability problem both chicken and plant-based We’re scaling back on new flavors and focusing on our core sellers Why go with High Peaks instead of the Bilinski’s brand?: Two reasons. To not confuse our core base but also because it’s fun to come up with a fresh start. My Food Job Rocks: I love the feedback my customers give me when they try our products I had won an award in highschool on an essay about how I wanted to take over the family business Where did you work before?: I was a policy analyst working on weapons of mass destruction My father one day said he might sell the business and I decided to take over the family business at that time What is one thing in the food industry you’d like to know more about?: Fermentation. The food science involved is really interesting What flavor products are you thinking out?: Because our R+D team is stuck at home, we are actually thinking a lot more and we’re focusing on chicken-bake type foods like chicken pot pie or lemon pepper. Curry is hard because everyone has an opinion about meat Any advice for anyone going into the food industry?: You really have to like it. It’s a 24/7 job Where can we find you?: info@bilinski.com. It actually comes to me, Stacie. highpeaks.life

Normal goal for retirement is to save 25x your annual expenses.Should you go for learnfire?If you plan on cutting all extra expenses from your life.Live in a very frugal mannerLive in a low cost area or country.Per census data, the average US household spends around $61k a year. Are you willing to live below that to achieve this goal?Should you go for fatfire?You are a high income professional.Do not want to give up your current lifestyle as an end goalWilling to go the long run in the beginning to continue living life as isExample, in NYC if you are living off $100k a year, you will need to save up 2.5M to retire in NYC.

Continuing in its existing state of rest or uniform motion. Our bodies need to remain in inertia physically, our temperature, metabolism, weight, etc, so we physically fight against change.Mentally: Our brains hate change, it spends its entire being building up routines so it doesn’t have to work very hard.

Kris Theodorakos is the Business Development Manager at Webber Smith Associates, a firm that builds and designs manufacturing plants specifically for the food industry. If you ever wanted to know what goes into planning actually building a facility, Kris gives a nice rundown on what you need to prepare, what you should consider, and some strategies on how to build them out. Another topic we get to is career advice. Kris originally had a degree in communication, but when she started her masters in nutrition, found out about food science on the first day of class and switched over and the rest was history.
