Homes That Heal | Transform Your Home Into a Health and Wellness Sanctuary
Ep 89 | If you've ever felt like your body is talking to you, but you're not sure how to listen, this conversation offers a powerful reframe.In this episode of Homes That Heal, Jen sits down with Dr. Wendy Henrichs for a deep, grounded conversation about chiropractic care, the nervous system, and how the body responds to physical, emotional, and environmental stress. This isn't about chasing symptoms or quick fixes—it's about understanding how the spine, nervous system, mindset, and lifestyle all work together to support healing.Dr. Wendy shares why chiropractors aren't just “back doctors,” how stress and stored emotion can show up as physical pain, and why creating safety for the nervous system is foundational for healing. Together, they explore the intersection of science and what some call “the woo”—from energy, breath, and visualization to nutrition, movement, and daily rhythms that help the body adapt and restore balance.
Tried as he might on his African safari vacation, your editor in chief could not ignore the news from back home. He saw a lot of lions, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, hippos, elephants, cheetahs, and leopards, witnessed real-life drama when a cheetah tried and failed to kill a baby wildebeest, and spent countless hours with a guide to point out all the amazing birds in the Serengeti. But all he could focus on was the Kevin Warsh nomination, the FDIC's new willingness to approve Industrial Loan Company charter applications, and the OCC's approval of stablecoin-related trust bank charters. If that was not enough to occupy his attention, he could not stop thinking about how the Small Business Administration's new Small Business Investment Company could be good news for bank treasury.Subscribe to The Bank Treasury Newsletter and Podcast at thebanktreasurynewsletter.com for professional Insights and commentary on bank treasury issues, investment portfolio strategy, and more.

ICE and Border Patrol leaders are testifying before Congress today. Why? Unless Congress agrees on and passes a funding bill for ICE before Friday night, funding for ICE will shut down the agency.Former Assistant FBI Director Dan Bongino weighed in on the "possibilities" of what could have happened to the 84-year-old mother of Savanna Guthrie of NBC News. He details the options from the FBI perspective.A California judge struck down the state's law requiring ICE and Border Patrol agents not to wear face coverings. That decision gave agents peace who were facing the chance of being doxxed, which would certainly put them and their family members in deep trouble.New information has suddenly emerged that explains exactly what's happening with federal funding for illegal immigrants' benefits in 16 states. Treasurers of those states united to plead to the U.S. Government to NOT arrest and prosecute illegals as they have been. In essence, these states want full immunity for every illegal alien in their states to be given "legal status!"

Following the latest interest rate rise, the Federal Government is facing renewed pressure from unions and economists to reform the 50 per cent Capital Gains Tax ((CGT)) discount, which critics label a "tax avoidance scheme" favouring the wealthiest Australians. While the Treasurer maintains a focus on housing supply, proponents of the reform argue that winding back these concessions could reclaim $20 billion in annual revenue and ease the cost-of-living crisis for the nation's workforce.

Law of the Land: Sovereign Citizens Recently, there have been reports of people in Northeast Ohio claiming to be sovereign citizens, particularly when interacting with the police. At the highest level, people who identify as sovereign citizens generally refuse to follow laws, reject court rulings and believe they are not required to comply with federal, state and local authorities. This has been reported to show up as refusing to pay taxes, rejecting driver's licenses, filing frivolous lawsuits, and creating counterfeit documents, among other things. In Monday's installment of our "Law of the Land" series on the "Sound of Ideas," where we look at how laws affect our every day lives, we're focusing on this anti-government set of beliefs. The ideas are prominent enough that they've gotten the attention of the Ohio Statehouse, where two representatives have proposed legislation aimed at discouraging people from refusing to identify themselves to police, while driving. Guests: - Eric Taylor, Sergeant, Parma Heights Police Department - Raymond Ku, Law Professor, Case Western Reserve University School of Law - Ric Simmons, Law Professor, The Ohio State University Michael E. Moritz College of Law School Funding Proposals Many homeowners had sticker shock when their property tax valuations landed in mailboxes last year. Taxes in some municipalities increased more than 20%, which has led to lawmakers working on how to provide property tax relief for Ohioans. But this has the potential to cause complications for school districts across the state, who rely heavily on property taxes for the majority of their funding. Several districts in Northeast Ohio have already posed new ideas on how to fund their schools, one of which is a new income tax. Ideastream's Education Reporter Conor Morris joins the "Sound of Ideas" on Monday to talk about this topic, and share some of the reporting he's done across the region. Guests: - Conor Morris, Education Reporter, Ideastream Public Media - Julie Erwin, Treasurer, New Philadelphia City Schools

Trump's feud with Powell adds to the chaos in financial markets, but recalls many other episodes in American history when presidents and central bankers clashed. From Andrew Jackson and Nicholas Biddle fighting over the future of the Second Bank of the United States, to Harry Truman firing then-Fed Chair Tom McCabe, which led to the 1951 Treasury Accord, politicians and the Fed manage an uneasy alliance with implications for the future direction of interest rates and the economy. Bank treasurers might think that the Fed's political independence is sacrosanct, but forget that when the politicians in Congress chartered the Fed in 1914, the Treasury Secretary was a voting member of the FOMC. Bank treasurers who successfully manage through market and economic uncertainty are only doing their jobs by delivering consistent performance through ups and downs.Subscribe to The Bank Treasury Newsletter and Podcast at thebanktreasurynewsletter.com for professional Insights and commentary on bank treasury issues, investment portfolio strategy, and more.

In this episode we're diving into the fascinating world where science, scalp health, and the microbiome meet beauty and wellbeing. Hair loss isn't just about vanity—it's a window into what's happening beneath the surface. Our guest is Dr. Echeverry and in this episode we will speak to what really drives hair loss, how the microbiome and immune system influence the follicle, and why restoring balance—not just applying treatments—is key to long-term hair and scalp health. Dr. Andrea Echeverry is a biologist with a Ph.D. in Microbiology and Immunology from the University of Miami and a B.Sc. in Microbiology and Biotechnology from Florida Atlantic University. After pioneering neonatal mouse models for intestinal infection research, she shifted her focus to the intersection of the gut, skin, and scalp microbiome—especially its role in chronic inflammation and hair loss. For over 14 years, Dr. Echeverry has collaborated with barbers, dermatologists, and hair transplant surgeons across Florida, Georgia, and Puerto Rico to highlight the microbiome's vital role in scalp and hair health. Combining trichology, microbial ecology, and micropigmentation, she helps clients restore both hair and confidence. A passionate educator and advocate, she promotes hair loss prevention among young adults and is producing a bilingual web series sharing real hair loss journeys. Dr. Echeverry also serves on the Executive and Educational Boards of the Association of Professional Trichologists (APT), where she is the immediate past President and Treasurer.
