Podcasts about Smits

Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy!   This episode takes you deep into the real-world practice of prescribing testosterone therapy for women. This is not a high-level overview—this is a nuts and bolts breakdown: ✅ Who it's for ✅ How it's dosed ✅ What labs to run ✅ What delivery methods are safest ✅ Why it's often done wrong—and how to get it right   With over 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. McCarthy shares the insights no seminar or textbook can offer, including the emotional and psychological challenges women face when beginning testosterone therapy, and the very real fears around side effects and community stigma.  

Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy!   In this episode we dive deep into one of the most misunderstood and debated topics in hormone health: testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for women. You may have heard horror stories—or glowing reviews. But what's the truth? Dr. McCarthy discusses: - Why testosterone matters for women's health - How it affects brain chemistry, mood, bone density, and even breast tissue - Its role after estrogen-suppressing breast cancer treatments - The difference between safe and unsafe TRT - What your provider should be doing to monitor and manage it effectively   Dr. Brendan McCarthy founded Protea Medical Center in 2002. While he's been the chief medical officer, Protea has grown and evolved into a dynamic medical center serving the Valley and Central Arizona. A nationally recognized as an expert in hormone replacement therapy, Dr McCarthy s the only instructor in the nation who teaches BioHRT on live patients. Physicians travel to Arizona to take his course and integrate it into their own practices. Besides hormone replacement therapy, Dr. McCarthy has spoken nationally and locally before physicians on topics such as weight loss, infertility, nutritional therapy and more.   Citations: Popma, Arne, et al.

Wat gebeurt er als je als ogenschijnlijk wit persoon door het leven gaat, maar je familiegeschiedenis een ander verhaal vertelt? Met Liesbeth Smit, Etchica Voorn, Kevin Klein en Anne-Fay Kops.De Surinaamse grootmoeder van journalist en historicus Liesbeth Smit sprak nauwelijks over haar gemengde afkomst. Daardoor bleef het Surinaamse verleden van de familie grotendeels onbesproken, tot Liesbeth – met haar witte huid en blauwe ogen – zelf op zoek ging naar haar familieverleden in Suriname. Naar aanleiding van haar nieuwste boek Aan ons is niets meer te zien, over Smits onzichtbare gemengde afkomst waarvan de wortels in het slavernijverleden in Suriname liggen, gaan we in De Balie in gesprek over de verzwegen bladzijden van ons koloniale verleden en de vaak moeizame zoektocht naar een persoonlijke familiegeschiedenis in Suriname. Wat betekent het om Surinamer te zijn? Wie mag zichzelf een ‘Surinamer' noemen? En welke plaats hebben mensen van gemengde afkomst en huidskleur in het Surinaamse heden en verleden?In samenwerking met Nijgh & van DitmarZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Onze gesprekspartner deze week is niemand minder dan Axel Smits, Managing Partner bij PwC Europe.We doen een deep dive in de 5 megatrends die bij elke CFO bovenaan de agenda staan. Axel deelt onder meer zijn visie op technologie in finance, de rol van de overheid en "the need for speed". “Die trends zijn niet nieuw”, nuanceert de Managing Partner van PwC Europe. “Wél nieuw is dat ze nu allemaal samenkomen. En op elkaar inwerken.”Geniet van het interessante gesprek met Axel Smits!

In het derde deel van de speciale interviewreeks De Innovatieregisseur van De Technoloog met Robert-Jan Smits, bestuursvoorzitter van de Technische Universiteit Eindhoven en voormalig directeur-generaal Onderzoek en Innovatie bij de Europese Commissie, komt het thema open wetenschap uitgebreid aan bod. Smits voerde een stevige strijd met de industrie achter wetenschappelijke publicaties, want zij wilden een deel van hun verdienmodel niet zomaar opgeven. Deze beweging, die hij in Brussel op gang bracht, had als doel om wetenschappelijk onderzoek dat door overheidsgeld gefinancierd is, direct toegankelijk te maken voor iedereen, zonder de obstakels van dure abonnementen of paywalls. Open Access is namelijk essentieel voor transparantie en maatschappelijke betrokkenheid bij wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Een van de grootste uitdagingen die hij tegenkwam, was het doorbreken van de gevestigde orde van grote uitgeverijen zoals Elsevier en Wiley, die jarenlang een monopoliepositie hadden op wetenschappelijke publicaties. In zijn laatste jaar in Brussel besloot Smits een radicale stap te zetten: alleen nog subsidie verstrekken aan onderzoekers die hun resultaten publiceren in open access journals. Ondanks stevige tegenstand van zowel uitgevers als de academische wereld, wist hij een coalitie te vormen met onderzoeksfinanciers, waaronder NWO en internationale partners zoals de Wellcome Trust. Uiteindelijk werd het een kantelpunt in het Europese wetenschapsbeleid, met als resultaat dat inmiddels bijna 90% van de wetenschappelijke publicaties in Nederland vrij toegankelijk is. Daarnaast vertelt Smits over zijn visie op samenwerking en excellentie in de academische wereld. Hoewel hij erkent dat wetenschappers vaak concurreren om prestigieuze publicaties, ziet hij ook hoe samenwerking juist kan leiden tot innovatieve doorbraken. Het draait volgens hem om het vinden van de balans tussen individuele passie en collectieve vooruitgang. Binnen de universiteit moedigt hij onderzoekers aan om samen te werken met industriepartners, zoals in de Brainport-regio, waar bedrijven als ASML en VDL hun krachten bundelen met de universiteit. De TU Eindhoven is ondanks zijn sterke binding met chip- en quantumonderzoek ook betrokken bij veel wetenschappelijk onderzoek rond sport. De universiteit beschikt over een windtunnel die oorspronkelijk bedoeld was voor bouwkunde en aerodynamica, maar inmiddels ook gebruikt wordt door topsporters zoals wielrenners van Jumbo-Visma. Zo hebben Tom Dumoulin en Wout van Aert de tunnel benut om hun aerodynamica te verbeteren. Ook paralympische sporters uit Ierland hebben baat gehad bij de faciliteiten in Eindhoven. Dit toont aan hoe de universiteit zich niet beperkt tot traditionele onderzoeksgebieden, maar juist ruimte geeft voor creatieve initiatieven die maatschappelijke impact hebben. De universiteit zoekt actief naar samenwerking met zowel lokale bedrijven als internationale kennispartners. Een voorbeeld hiervan is de ontwikkeling van slimme rioolbuizen, waarbij onderzoek wordt gedaan naar manieren om de levensduur van infrastructuur te verlengen. Dit toont volgens Smits aan dat maatschappelijke relevantie en innovatie hand in hand gaan. Tot slot deelt Smits zijn visie op de toekomst van innovatie in Europa. Hij stelt dat het belangrijk is om bureaucratische obstakels weg te nemen en jonge onderzoekers meer ruimte te geven om te experimenteren. Hij ziet veel potentie in de nieuwe generatie, zowel in Nederland als in de rest van Europa, en roept op tot vertrouwen in hun talent en visie. De sleutel tot succes ligt in het omarmen van samenwerking en het creëren van een ecosysteem waar onderzoek, bedrijfsleven en samenleving elkaar versterken.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In het tweede deel van De Innovatieregisseur, een speciale reeks afleveringen van De Technoloog, gaat Robert-Jan Smits, vertrekkend bestuursvoorzitter van de TU Eindhoven, in gesprek met Ben van der Burg en Mark Beekhuis over zijn tijd in Brussel en het ontstaan van n van de grootste innovatieprogramma's ter wereld: Horizon 2020. De Horizon 2020-aanpak blijkt voor Europa een doorslaand succes, met drie pijlers die de onderzoeksagenda bepalen: fundamenteel onderzoek, door universiteiten geleid, toegepast onderzoek gedreven door beleidsdoelen, en industrieel onderzoek dat wordt vormgegeven door de markt. Smits legt uit dat de focus op excellentie en het loslaten van geografische spreiding cruciaal was om impact te maken. Toch leidde deze benadering tot kritiek, vooral vanuit minder innovatieve lidstaten die vonden dat de gelden onevenredig naar Noord-Europa stroomden. Ook spreken we over de noodzaak van Europese autonomie op strategische gebieden zoals cloudtechnologie en satellieten. Smits wijst op de geopolitieke druk die Europa ertoe dwingt om minder afhankelijk te worden van Amerikaanse en Chinese technologie. Het recent goedgekeurde Horizon Europe programma moet hierin voorzien door een sterke focus op strategische autonomie en innovatieclusters. De Brainport-regio rond Eindhoven dient volgens Smits als een model: intensieve samenwerking tussen universiteiten, bedrijven en overheid die leidt tot duurzame technologische voorsprong. Smits benadrukt dat Europa alleen succesvol kan zijn als er sneller beslissingen worden genomen. De huidige bureaucratische vertragingen staan snelle innovatie in de weg. Hij prijst landen als Zweden en Denemarken die regelgeving hebben vereenvoudigd zonder democratische processen te schaden. Volgens Smits is er in Nederland en Europa behoefte aan een pragmatische aanpak waarbij we wellicht afscheid moeten nemen van eeuwig durende inspraakperiodes, beleidscommissies en politieke spelletjes.

De Technische Universiteit Eindhoven vormt deze week het decor voor een speciale editie van De Technoloog: De Innovatieregisseur. Ben van der Burg en Mark Beekhuis gaan in gesprek met Robert-Jan Smits, vertrekkend bestuursvoorzitter van de universiteit en voormalig directeur-generaal Onderzoek en Innovatie bij de Europese Commissie. Kortweg: de Nederlandse innovatieregisseur. In een extra lange aflevering bespreekt Smits de positie van Nederland en Europa op het gebied van innovatie en technologie, de kracht van de Brainport-regio en de uitdagingen die voor ons liggen. Volgens Smits behoort Nederland tot de meest innovatieve landen ter wereld, maar blijft het land achter in het vermarkten van wetenschappelijke kennis. Deze innovatieparadox, waarin kennis niet altijd tot economische waarde leidt, speelt ook op Europees niveau. Hoewel Nederland op wetenschappelijk vlak hoog scoort, lukt het vaak niet om kennis om te zetten in bedrijvigheid en economische groei. Dit is volgens Smits niet alleen een nationaal probleem, maar ook een Europees vraagstuk waar al jaren tegenaan wordt gelopen. Smits benadrukt dat Nederland sterk is op het gebied van deeptech, een verzamelnaam van allerlei veelbelovende, maar nog grotendeels experimentele technologie n. Ondanks die sterke wetenschappelijke basis, ontbreekt het aan een goed ecosysteem om die kennis daadwerkelijk in de markt te zetten. In de Brainport, de regio rond Eindhoven, wordt dit probleem deels opgelost door samenwerking tussen universiteit, bedrijfsleven en overheid. Hierin ziet Smits een succesformule die Nederland breder zou moeten omarmen. In Brainport worden bedrijven aangemoedigd om samen te werken met kennisinstellingen, zonder zich te richten op kortetermijnresultaten. Zo investeert ASML in de universiteit zonder eisen te stellen aan directe productinnovaties. In plaats daarvan krijgen onderzoekers juist de ruimte om radicale, disruptieve idee n te verkennen, wat de kans vergroot op baanbrekende technologieën. De sterke positie van Brainport is niet vanzelf ontstaan. De omgeving rond Eindhoven heeft een moeilijk verleden, toen Philips en DAF aan de rand van de afgrond stonden. Uit die noodzaak is een samenwerkingscultuur gegroeid die nu zijn vruchten afwerpt. Bedrijven zoals ASML en VDL werken nauw samen met de universiteit en investeren in langdurige kennisontwikkeling, zonder per se te weten wat dit op de korte termijn oplevert. Volgens Smits is dit een onderscheidend kenmerk van de Brainport-regio. Deze samenwerking tussen bedrijfsleven, overheid en kennisinstellingen zorgt ervoor dat technologische innovaties daadwerkelijk vermarkt worden. Op Europees niveau pleit Smits voor eenzelfde benadering. Hij wijst erop dat Europa zich niet langer kan permitteren om verdeeld te blijven werken. Meer samenwerking is essentieel om te kunnen concurreren met technologische grootmachten zoals de Verenigde Staten en China. Europese samenwerking op het gebied van technologie en innovatie moet daarom hoog op de agenda blijven staan, vindt hij. Alleen door als blok te opereren, kan Europa concurreren met landen die veel meer investeren in onderzoek en technologie. En enkel door in te zetten op excellentie, winnen we de wereldwijde innovatieoorlog.

Zoals luisteraars van deze podcast waarschijnlijk wel weten ondernemen mensen de Camino vaak in een periode in hun leven waarin dingen aan het schuiven zijn. Dat was bij Nora Smits ook het geval. Zij liep van Maastricht naar Santiago in een tussenjaar, na het afsluiten van haar middelbare schooltijd. Voor ze op pad ging werkte ze in een buitensportzaak om geld te verdienen voor de reis. Muziek:  Who would true valour see - Alister ThompsonLogo-ontwerp: Karin Kerremans, datbureau.nlContact over de podcast: post@johannakroon.nljohannakroon.nl/podcasten-voor-organisaties/ https://www.johannakroon.nl/podcasten-voor-organisaties/

Annemieke Bosman in gesprek met Eline Arbo en Eelco Smits. Regisseur Eline Arbo bewerkt bij ITA James Baldwins tijdloze klassieke roman Giovanni's Room tot een muzikale voorstelling over liefde, identiteit en de angst om jezelf te zijn. Giovanni's Room onderzoekt thema's als seksualiteit, geïnternaliseerde homofobie en maatschappelijke druk, en stelt de vraag: kun je je ergens thuis voelen, als je niet jezelf mag zijn? Een aangrijpend verhaal over passie, verlies en de strijd tussen intens verlangen en maatschappelijke verwachtingen, gebaseerd op Baldwins meesterwerk. Eline Arbo is artistiek directeur van ITA sinds 2023. Eerder maakt zij remakes van de eerder elders door haar gerealiseerde voorstellingen Weg met Eddy Bellegueule (Édouard Louis), en De jaren (Annie Ernaux). Voor ITA regisseerde ze o.a. Penthesilea (Heinrich von Kleist) en De uren (Michael Cunningham). Eelco Smits speelt de rol van David, een Amerikaan in Frankrijk die herinneringen ophaalt aan zijn tijd in Parijs. Smits ontving in 2018 de Paul Steenbergenpenning. In 2023 won hij de Louis d'Or voor zijn rol in Geschiedenis van Geweld bij Toneelschuur Producties en Toneelgroep Oostpool.

Het nieuwe jaar staat voor de deur en dat betekent voor veel pubers: met vrienden de straat op en knallen maar! Glenn (15) uit onze puberpoule weet dat als geen ander. Hij vertelt wat hij zoal tijdens de jaarwisseling afsteekt en hoe hij aan dit - niet altijd legale - vuurwerk komt.Maar: het aantal vuurwerkongelukken met ernstig letsel is de afgelopen jaren hard aan het stijgen. Hierbij valt op dat de meeste slachtoffers tussen de 12 en 19 jaar zijn, precies de leeftijd van onze geliefde pubers. Plastisch-reconstructief handchirurg Ernst Smits is te gast en laat ons zien wat voor ellende vuurwerk kan aanrichten. Kluun en Yvanka filosoferen over een oplossing voor dit probleem: hoe spreek je deze doelgroep hierover aan? En vinden we als ouders vuurwerk misschien stiekem toch iets te normaal en acceptabel?Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

"Being yourself may sound easy, but it's actually the hardest thing you can do. And that's okay. It takes time, but it will come.”  Have you ever wondered if there's more to life than just going through the motions? What if the key to a fulfilling life lies in an unexpected source: the art of clowning? In situations that often feels heavy and overly complicated, it's easy to lose sight of who we truly are and the joy in everyday moments. Many of us are searching for a way to reconnect with ourselves and with others, and today, we're exploring a unique approach that does just that.  The qualities of a clown—authenticity, vulnerability, and radical honesty—can profoundly transform not only how we interact with others but also how we see ourselves. Embracing these traits can help us live a life with purpose, view failure as a tool for growth, and apply these principles to build better relationships, navigate life's challenges, and improve in business or leadership roles.  Eddy Smits has spent over a decade as a hospital clown, visiting thousands of sick children and bringing joy to their lives in the most challenging circumstances. His work inspired him to explore the deeper impact of authentic communication and human connection, which led him to write his book, Model C. Eddy shares how clowning has shaped his journey, the lessons he's learned about resilience, and how he applies these principles in his work as a personal development coach.  Check out Eddy's book, Model C: https://www.eddysmits.com/modelc.  Website: EddySmits.com  LinkedIn: Eddy Smits  Raymond Aaron has shared his vision and wisdom on radio and television programs for over 40 years.

"As a leader, it's not about me; it's about the people I lead, my company, my brand, and all other stakeholders."

Afgelopen week was het weer eens zo ver: een museumbezoeker kon de verleiding om met z'n tengels aan een kunstwerk te zitten niet weerstaan, en daar kwamen brokken van. Ditmaal ging het om een bezoeker die je het nauwelijks kwalijk kan nemen: een nieuwsgierig 4-jarig jongetje dat benieuwd was wat er in een 3,500 jaar oude kruik zat – en het daarom per ongeluk van zijn sokkel trok. Dat museumbezoekers zo graag kunstwerken beduimelen, ook als het uitdrukkelijk verboden is, dat vindt kunsthistorica Lieke Smits van de Universiteit Antwerpen eigenlijk niet zo raar. Het idee dat je van kunst moet afblijven is namelijk betrekkelijk nieuw. Smits is te gast, en schreef het blog Jeff Koons' Broken Artwork and Tactile Desire over dit fenomeen.

Expanding into omnichannel sales is a great way to grow your eCommerce business, but it also results in a more complicated supply chain. That's why working with a logistics partner who has their finger on the pulse of the industry is so important.  In this episode, we chat with Taylor Smits, co-founder of MyFBAPrep, the largest Amazon prep and eCommerce fulfillment network in the US. Taylor joins us to explain how to optimize your supply chain without hindering growth and expansion.

Taylor also reveals the best growth opportunities emerging in the eCommerce industry today. According to Taylor,  “We're seeing a halo effect from TikTok shop. For every sale you make on TikTok shop, you can assume two or three increased sales on Amazon, because people go to Amazon to check if the brand is legitimate. Now, you can use your FBA inventory to fulfill TikTok. That's one more reason to get on TikTok as a seller and get that halo effect.” Whether you sell on one platform or many, this episode is packed with practical tips to help you streamline your logistics and grow your eCommerce business.

In this episode, my guest and I dive into the critical aspects of planning business exits, emphasizing the need for consistency and structure. The episode highlights the importance of preparing for exit strategies 3-5 years in advance to ensure predictability in valuation. The role of strategic planning and advisors in facilitating this process is vital. A key point is the significance of having a structured advisory board, even for small businesses, to maintain accountability and effective planning. This team, including CPAs, financial planners, and attorneys, plays a pivotal role in guiding business owners through the nuances of exit strategy, offering valuable advice on tax and financial matters to position them for a successful negotiation and minimize risks.We also explore various exit strategies, with a particular focus on the benefits of an options strategy over a single-event exit. This approach, backed by expert advice from CPAs, attorneys, tax advisors, and financial wealth advisors, aims to prevent regrets in the sale process. Dan Smit stands as a testament to the power of experience and vision in the entrepreneurial world.

On todays episode of Bass Fishing for Noobs, Susie & Sean sit down with Kurt Smits to talk about DIY wiring electronics on your kayak. It can seem and feel overwhelming when trying to figure out how to wire everything together, but Kurt helps break things down in simpler terms. Some key things to keep in mind is to always refer to the user manual of each piece of equipment you're going to be running to determine what gauge wire and kind/size of fuses you will need. Not having the correct size of wire alone can greatly increase the risk of corrosion, overheating, or not having enough current going to the device. The second key thing to keep in mind is to keep connections as few and as simple as possible. Having a direct line running from the battery to the device is the best way to ensure there won't be any faults in the wiring. If you do need to connect wires, Kurt prefers to solder any and all connections. This creates a solid, metal connection to ensure the most complete connection. We take a brief look at how Kurt runs and manages his wiring system in his Hobie PA and has a nice, clean, and efficient way to mount and put wires and connections. Even if you're not an electrician or the thought of electricity might intimidate you, this is definitely an episode you'll want to check out!
