When something is under a lot of stress, that something tends to break. The same thing can happen with the human body--and that’s exactly what happened with Gemi Bertran. Working full-time as a single mother and a full-time student, Gemi was under a tremendous amount of stress. “My brain broke,” she says. “My body wasn’t following the orders I was giving it.” Doctors couldn’t figure out what was happening to her either. As a result, Gemi turned to researching on her own. She started studying the brain, its behavior, its neural pathways, and ultimately how to work, live life and manage stress. Listen in!

Jillian Godsil speaks with legal eagle Jetse Sprey on GDPR and its impact on Europe and beyond Jetse Sprey, CLO and co-founder of Europechain It's almost three years since GDPR came into effect in the EU. We talk to legal eagle Jetse Sprey in Amsterdam about the impacts of the law both within Europe and without. What the main impacts? Funnily enough the rules didn't change that much from the rules that were in existence pre GDPR, but the key difference lies in the penalties attached to flaunting data protection rules. This is a nutshell can explain why GDPR burst upon the world with such a vengeance three years, in some ways out of proportion to the new legalities. It fostered an awareness for companies who realised they needed to look after the data they held and to ensure they were GDPR compliant. And not just here in Europe, anyone dealing with European people and their data also had to become compliant. It's been an earthquake. At the same time, GDPR has become a sort of standard for international legislations, or rather an example to be followed. In California, the new data protection laws draw heavily on many of the elements of GDPR. The same can be said for new laws in India. In this field of data protection, Europe is leading the way. To find our more about how GDPR works, listen to the podcast Jillian Godsil is an award winning journalist, broadcoaster and author.

Jillian Godsil speaks with Dr Farrukh Habib, who gives a ‘101' introduction on Islamic Finance and Shariah Compliant Financial Products - which turn out to be one and the same. I invited Dr Farrukh to explain about Islamic Finance and Shariah compliant financial products which he explains are basically the same thing. However, before he begins, he points out that Islam is actually a complete code for living that has a comprehensive set of rules and principles for each and every walk of life. “It's not only about worship, but it governs public dealings too. In all matters, Islam provides guidance not only in regard for the man-to-God relationship, but also for the man-to-man relationships.” I interject women and children too, and Dr Farrukh agrees. “Islam extends to the whole family. It is a complete jurisprudence in the sense that it provides all the principles, including a complete alternative of conventional financial systems which is called the Islamic Financial system.” I ask about the differences between Western Financial Systems and Islamic, and Dr Farrukh corrects me on my terminology. Western Financial system is better termed conventional finance as it exists in all corners of the world. Jillian Godsil is an award winning journalist, broadcoaster and author.

Jillian Godsil talks with Daniel Uribe, founder and CEO of Genobank, living and based in Silicon, USA Daniel, who is of Mexican descent did his primary degrees in Mexico but studied in Stanford University where he met Condoleezza Rice as part of the executive programme, and he is also a graduate of Singularity University. Both experiences formed his independent thinking – which is totally obvious in his founding of GenoBank.io, a DNA ownership legal tech kit and patent-pending blockchain technology platform which is turning personal control of DNA on its head. When not studying, Daniel also worked for major tech giants such as Oracle and Sun Microsystems. He is a cybersecurity person with extensive experience in network storage; he has been working in the UNIX space since 2002. With these influences, his start-up was bound to happen – but in fact, it was his personal life that proved the catalyst. “I first heard about blockchain early on, around the same time everyone was moving into the cloud, so the concept of decentralisation was hardly spoken of; if one had a database then it was on Oracle or similar. It was centralised, it was expensive, and it took a couple of humans to maintain – not thousands of nodes. “At the time, the penny dropped for me; now we could have one ledger or one version of a book. This had not been possible before, not even the most famous books in the history of mankind have one version – there is no one version of the Bible or the Koran – but here was a technology that could offer one version, a live version, that was synchronised every 10 minutes.” Daniel had the makings of a disruptive start-up in his hands, if he but knew it. However, it took a personal accident to crystallise these thoughts into a real project. His son at 18 months had an accident where he poked his throat with a straw. As a result, he bled for three days and the hospital did some tests, including looking at his DNA. As a result, his son was diagnosed with a rare blood disease with something very similar to haemophilia; a deletion in his genes in the 17th chromosome resulting in a condition called Glanzmann's thrombasthenia. While it was a relief to have the condition diagnosed and named, Daniel was uncomfortable about the handling of his son's DNA records. “The tests were covered by medical standards, HIPAA, but what caught my attention was that my son's raw data was not available. It was like trying to access state secrets such was the lack of transparency.” Listen to the podcast to see what Daniel did to fix this issue.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Recinda Sherman, an epidemiologist, to discuss some critical questions for health, wellness and fitness professions to consider. (Time stamped questions listed below). Recording Date: 5/24/2020 Please note today's discussion focuses only on one of the avenues to explore when deciding on reopening dates and plans. Health, wellness and fitness professionals also need to weigh ethical considerations. "Do No Harm", code of ethics by profession, and the same ethical actions we would take under other circumstances where there is a possibility of comprising a client's health, still need to be considered.

The content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding your medical conditions or care.6:50 To start can you tell me a little about what Epidemiologists do?13:55 What are some of your favorite resources for us to easily learn the epidemiology of COVID-19?22:34 Can people who have antibodies be protected themselves from reinfection but still be carriers and spread to other? Do we know yet how long antibodies protect someone?25:43 I’ve seen research on hard surface fomites, ranging from 8 hours on chrome to 5 days on wood. But I haven’t seen any research on fabrics?28:02 I’ve seen estimates all over the place in regards to the effectiveness of cloth masks in regards to COVID-19.38:03 How dangerous is removing clothes over your head or wearing “buffs” as masks?40:54 Should curtains, rugs, lampshades and other fabric surfaces that cannot be laundered between each interaction be removed?44:44 What role do HVAC units play in the spread of droplets? (Updated: bit.ly/updatesaskanepi)48:04 If transmission is primarily coming from respiratory droplets, in careers that cannot keep a 6 foot or more distance, how does closer contact change our risk? Does amount of time matter?49:57 We are hearing that people are testing positive many weeks after diagnosed and have complications much longer than 14 days. How confident are we that the virus is contagious for only 14 days?52:53 Please note the head to toe map of COVID-19 symptoms mentioned here was mistakenly attributed to John Hopkins University. The graphic provided sources (including JHU), but did not provide any citations. As an alternative, this Washington Post article provides a body map: bit.ly/covidbodymap 55:38 Is there a possibility that COVID-19 becomes like the seasonal flu where we may have to guess the strain seasonally for an annual vaccine?58:39 How does the size and circulation of air flow in a room affect COVID-19 transmission?1:02:08 It is sometimes recommended to air rooms out between clients by opening windows and doors. Does this potentially run the risk of “kicking up” virus particles from surfaces into the air”? If you do not have a room with windows, would additional time between clients allow droplets to settle? (Updated: bit.ly/updatesaskanepi)1:05:55 What is the risk of viral shed through touching someone else’s skin? Or is it truly more about respiratory droplets due to close contact?1:09:03 Many of our surfaces are somewhere in between porous and non porous, a good example being stretch pleather covers for our tables. These are recommended to be cleaned with EPA-disinfectants but does the combination of pleather and stretch make them more susceptible to collecting germs and viruses?1:10:21 For massage, some of us practice ashiatsu or barefoot massage, where you work using their feet instead of hands. What is the risk when you are 4 to 5 ft from someone, with both wearing a mask? Is there a gravity and droplet risk of being above and below someone?1:13:12 DVTs are a contraindication in massage. Many massage therapists are concerned about asymptotic clients and the current COVID-19 induced clotting issues and that massage could dislodge clots. Can you talk a bit about what we currently know about COVID-19 clotting issues, pulmonary embolism and DIC? How common or rare is this? And how is the clotting different from typically DVT?1:16:58 From an Epidemiologists standpoint, do you feel the John Hopkins Guidance for Governors and the CDC Reopening Guidelines are reasonable ways for us to head into reopening?1:22:33 What questions are you surprised I didn’t ask? Are there other important issues we need to think closely about before we head into reopening phases?1:27:28 If massage was available today, would you make an appointment or recommend people wait? Would you visit a gym?See updates and additional questions at: bit.ly/updatesaskanepiFull transcript available by request.YouTube version with Timestamped questions at: bit.ly/askanepiFor past podcast episodes, HCTV episode and more, visit: https://novaweekendwarriors.com/podcast(c) NoVA Weekend Warriors 2020
