Lemongrove Oil: https://www.lemongroveoil.com/ Episode Description In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with Dr. Craig Slapinski, a chiropractor and former Palmer College classmate whose career has taken him from the Midwest to Ghana, Nigeria, and beyond. Dr. Craig shares how a love of travel shaped his life long before chiropractic school. From building houses in Mexico as a teenager to studying abroad in London, backpacking through Europe, exploring China, and traveling through Southeast Asia, his path has always included curiosity, adventure, and a willingness to step into unfamiliar places. That same spirit eventually led him to Ghana after chiropractic school, where he worked in a high-volume clinic and quickly learned how to trust his hands, sharpen his adjusting skills, and serve patients with limited equipment and a lot of real-world pressure. Years later, he returned to West Africa with a more focused mission: to bring nonsurgical spinal decompression care to communities where access to this type of treatment was limited. Stephanie and Dr. Craig talk about chiropractic in Ghana and Nigeria, what makes the healthcare experience different from the United States, and how his clinics use spinal decompression, cold laser, exercise, ergonomics, and rehabilitation to help patients dealing with disc-related back pain. This conversation is also about finding your own path. Dr. Craig's story is a reminder that a chiropractic career can take many shapes, and that sometimes the road you end up on is not the one you planned, but the one that fits who you are becoming. This episode is meant to inform and inspire, not replace personal medical advice. If you are dealing with back pain, disc issues, sciatica, or considering surgery, please work with a qualified healthcare professional who can evaluate your individual situation. In This Episode, Discover How Dr. Craig Slapinski and Dr. Stephanie Wautier met at Palmer College of Chiropractic Dr. Craig's early love of international travel What he learned from traveling through Mexico, Europe, China, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia How a planned move to China turned into an unexpected opportunity in Ghana What it was like practicing chiropractic in Ghana right out of school How high-volume care helped Dr. Craig sharpen his adjusting skills How he became interested in nonsurgical spinal decompression What spinal decompression is designed to do for disc-related back pain Why some patients may explore decompression before considering surgery How Dr. Craig combines decompression, cold laser, exercise, and ergonomics Why he returned to Ghana and eventually expanded into Nigeria The differences between insurance-driven care in the United States and cash-based care in Africa What healthcare access, MRIs, and patient education can look like in Ghana and Nigeria How Dr. Craig's clinics serve patients across West Africa Why chiropractic careers can take many different paths Stay Connected & Explore Learn More About Dr. Craig Slapinski: To learn more about Dr. Craig's work in West Africa, search: Spine and Nerve Center Ghana Spine and Nerve Center Nigeria Episode Sponsor: Lemongrove Oil: https://www.lemongroveoil.com/ Use coupon code DRSTEPHANIE at checkout for 10% off.

Bringing The Darkness To The Light with Catherine Nadal Guest, Mike Krompass from The Fell - the Creative Fire Behind a Modern Rock Sound Introducing Mike Krompass and The Fell In this episode of Bringing the Darkness to the Light, host Catherine Nadal welcomes Mike Krompass, guitarist for the band The Fell, as well as a multi-platinum producer, songwriter, mixer, engineer, multi-instrumentalist, and music executive. Catherine explains that she recently saw The Fell perform in Liverpool, New York, at the start of their tour and became an immediate fan of the band's energy, sound, and songwriting. She especially praises the song “Footprints,” describing it as the kind of track she can play repeatedly without wanting to turn it off. A Lifelong Musician with a Wide Range of Influences Mike explains that he started playing guitar at four years old and knew from a young age that music was what he wanted to do. He recalls seeing Michael Jackson in concert as a child and being inspired by guitarist Jennifer Batten, while also growing up with a wide range of musical influences including funk, disco, metal, progressive rock, R&B, the Beatles, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Earth, Wind & Fire, Extreme, Mr. Big, Dokken, Dio, and Michael Jackson. Although his parents were not musicians, he was influenced by musical figures in his extended family and later learned a great deal from guitarists, drummers, music stores, studios, and working musicians around him. From Toronto to Los Angeles, Nashville, the UK, and Back Mike describes growing up in Toronto and eventually moving to Los Angeles to pursue his rock-star dreams. Although that path did not unfold exactly as he imagined, Los Angeles opened doors into film, television, songwriting, production, and working with pop, country, and rock artists. He also spent years moving between Los Angeles and Nashville, where he became immersed in the songwriting culture and appreciated the respect Nashville gives to songwriters. After time in the UK, he returned to Toronto, carrying with him a broad international career shaped by persistence, adaptability, and a refusal to limit himself to one genre or role. How The Fell Came Together The conversation turns to the formation of The Fell. Mike says the project began because he wanted to reconnect with his own musical passion after years of producing and writing for other artists. He wanted to create rock music for himself, with guitar solos and songs that came from his own roots. He reached out to Billy Sheehan, who quickly responded and suggested they start a band rather than simply work as hired players. Mike was also working with singer Toby Rand, whose voice, songwriting, stage presence, and modern rock energy helped complete the core sound. Although the project was delayed for years because of other commitments, Mike says the chemistry between himself, Billy, and Toby was the magic that eventually brought The Fell back together. Footprints, Trippin, and the Band's Sound Catherine and Mike discuss several songs from The Fell, beginning with “Footprints,” which Mike says was one of the earliest songs written with Toby Rand and was intended to have a mainstream radio feel with a strong hook. He also talks about the video, which was shot in a World War II-era bunker in Poland and later reworked with footage from other videos. They then discuss “Trippin,” which Mike says has a different feel and hints of Faith No More influence, especially in the chorus melody. Mike explains that while the songs may sound different from one another, they share a sonic identity through the drum sounds, large guitar tones, and the focus on strong songwriting beneath the rock production. Producing, Touring, and What Comes Next The final portion explores Mike's production skills, the practical advantage of being able to record drums, guitars, bass sketches, and vocals in his own studio, and his effort not to overproduce The Fell so the band can still sound authentic live. He discusses drummer Nick's role as the newest band member, the group's early tour dates, plans for overseas shows, and the importance of building awareness through live performances and streaming numbers. Mike also talks about his companies, including Noise Nation X, Noise Nation Records, and BCMG Recordings, which work in music licensing, film and television placements, artist development, and catalog representation. The episode closes with Catherine encouraging listeners to follow Mike and The Fell, then rolling out with the band's song “Kill Switch.”

340B Insight wants to make our podcast the best it can be. To help us succeed, we'd like to hear your thoughts. Please take just a few minutes to complete our listener survey, and we will enter you in a drawing to win a $100 gift card! To participate, please go to 340bpodcast.org/survey.Some of the biggest recent policy developments for 340B hospitals are when states enact legislation to protect access to 340B pricing through contract pharmacies. Olivia Little, 340B director at Johnson County Hospital in Tecumseh, Neb., was closely involved with a coalition of providers that was able to get such a bill passed through the state's legislature and signed into law by the governor. But she describes why getting the law enacted wasn't the end of the story.A Wide Range of ResponsesLittle says once her state's contract pharmacy protection law went into effect, she began receiving notices about 340B pricing being restored from some drug companies. But not all drugmakers restored previous pricing levels right away in Nebraska — some took months, and some have not yet done so despite the law going into effect nearly a year ago. The wide range of ways in which companies responded to the new law created difficult choices for hospitals between risking a potential compliance issue or leaving some 340B savings on the table. Having a Game PlanLittle says her advice to other health systems in states with new contract pharmacy protections would be to have a plan in place for what happens when the law goes into effect. Implementing these protections can raise questions about issue such as backdating, inventory, and retesting claims for 340B status. The complex tracking of multiple drugmaker policies in response to the Nebraska law resulted in her needing to closely document communications with drug companies and their vendors.The Need To Be PersistentLittle also stressed that getting pharmacy protections to pass through her state legislature and get to the governor's desk took years of effort, advocacy, and redrafting to ensure success. Between media appearances and advocating in the statehouse and on social media, Little says this success ultimately came down to the core message: 340B is good for patients, hospitals, and communities.Resources:HRSA Gives Short Window for Stakeholder Input on Reviving 340B Rebate Model

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") are coming together for a special Christmas Eve edition of the Peristyle Podcast, talking about historic rivalry between USC and Notre Dame being paused. After the news broke on Monday that the Trojans and the Fighting Irish wouldn't be playing for the foreseeable future, the reactions came in from all across the college football landscape. Ryan and Connor give their thoughts on why this series is taking a hiatus, how the blame for the pause should be distributed and if they feel these programs will ever meet on the gridiron again. Reaction from the Trojan family has been mixed, with strong opinions on both sides. We have heard from former players and long-time fans that hate that the series isn't going to continue. We also heard from other fans and major media personalities that feel it is in USC's best interest to drop the game and focus on the Big Ten schedule and making the College Football Playoffs. The guys also preview the Alamo Bowl game between USC and TCU, from what the Trojans roster could look like and who they will be facing off against in San Antonio. There have also been a few new names that declared they will enter the NCAA Transfer Portal and plenty of Trojan players that have resigned with the team.

On today's AgNet News Hour, Nick Papagni and Josh McGill spoke with Jake Barcellos of A-Bar Ag Enterprises, a fourth-generation farmer based in the Los Banos–Firebaugh area. Barcellos shared how his family's diversified operation is navigating California's regulatory, water, and labor challenges while keeping an eye on the future. Farming a Wide Range of Crops A-Bar Ag grows an impressive mix of commodities, including almonds, pistachios, pomegranates, olives for oil, Pima cotton, processing tomatoes, asparagus, garlic, and onions. Barcellos explained that this broad diversification is both a strategy for stability and a necessity in today's volatile marketplace. “You just can't trust the row crop market right now. We have to be in everything we can to stay sustainable,” he said. Water and Regulation Pressures Water remains a critical issue. While some of A-Bar Ag's acres receive reliable deliveries, others face allocations as low as 55 percent, often announced too late in the year for planning. Barcellos emphasized the need for new water storage projects to ensure that productive farmland doesn't sit idle. He also pointed to burdensome regulations on hours, wages, and inputs as barriers that strain both growers and their employees. Labor and Immigration Barcellos underscored the value of his longtime workforce, many of whom have been with the farm for more than 25 years. He called for a sensible immigration solution that distinguishes between community members who contribute and those who pose risks. “We need outside labor—we just don't have the labor force here in California to be sustainable,” he explained. Innovation and the Future A-Bar Ag has leaned into automation and drip irrigation across 95 percent of its acres, adopting underground systems to combat rodent and bird damage. Looking ahead, Barcellos stressed the importance of maintaining quality in niche crops like asparagus and olive oil, as well as ensuring the farm remains viable for a fifth generation. “My main goal is to pass on the opportunity to my children and my cousin's children,” he said. Barcellos also highlighted the role of FFA and agricultural education in preparing future leaders, and he continues his own development through the California Ag Leadership Program.

The lawsuit describes how he made degrading comments about her appearance and withheld parts of her performances when she resisted.Additionally, Richard claims to have witnessed instances of abuse toward other women, including observing drug-fueled parties and seeing Diddy choke his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. She also recalls seeing Diddy's former partner, Kim Porter, emerge from a studio with visible injuries. Richard's lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages, though Diddy has vehemently denied the allegations.

There is a lot of terminology and misconceptions thrown around in the pediatric sleep world especially on social media. Can they self- settle? Are wake windows a real thing? And what about regressions? I welcome back Sujay Kansagra who is a pediatric neurologist and sleep medicine physician at Duke who has dedicated his life to helping kids (and their parents) sleep better. He knows sleep and the importance of it. He was on my show before on an episode called Sleep-training: What the evidence does or doesn't say. He joins me to discuss: If genetics play a role in sleep and if there is such a thing as a “good” or “bad” sleeper If “wake-windows” are evidence-based If there's a certain age we would expect a baby to “sleep through the night” The truth behind sleep regressions To connect with Sujay Kansagra follow him on Instagram @thatsleepdoc and purchase his book My Child Won't Sleep: A Quick Guide for the Sleep-Deprived Parent Additional Resources About Sleep: Review of Sleep Training Data: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17068979/ Cortisol and Sleep Training Research Study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27221288/ Short Sleep Gene: https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2019/08/415261/after-10-year-search-scientists-find-second-short-sleep-gene "Sleeping Through the Night" Article: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20974775/ Wide Range of Normal Sleep During First Year: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12563055/ Sleep Regressions and Data Behind Fixed Months for Regression: https://www.babysleep.com/sleep-advice/what-is-a-sleep-regression/ We'd like to know who is listening!

Dr. Neal Kassell, Founder and Chairman of the Focused Ultrasound Foundation, is working to raise awareness and drive the utilization of focused ultrasound to treat a wide range of medical conditions. This non-invasive technology uses medical imaging to precisely target and treat tissue deep in the body. Focused ultrasound has multiple mechanisms of action and can be used for destroying tumors, modulating neural activity, delivering drugs, and stimulating the immune system. Neal explains, "So focused ultrasound is a new, totally non-invasive therapeutic technology, and it's the intersection of medical imaging, which is either ultrasound or MR imaging, which is used to identify the portion of the body that we want to treat to plan the treatment, and then to guide the treatment. Then, the focused ultrasound technology delivers the energy that treats the tissue. The way it works is analogous to using a magnifying glass to focus beams of light and burn a hole in a leaf." "But at that focal point where all the beams converge, we now understand 30 ways ultrasound can affect tissue. That's in contrast to, for instance, radiation therapy, which is only one mechanism of action. Or a surgical robot, which is one mechanism of action. Focused Ultrasound has at least 30 mechanisms of action, including destroying tissue at that focal point by a variety of mechanisms, stimulating or blocking neural activity in the brain called neuromodulation, and delivering drugs or other therapeutic agents precisely to a point in the body where they are needed. This increases both the effectiveness and decreases the systemic side effects, stimulates the body's immune response to tumor, and to the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy agents." "The point in the body where the ultrasound is targeted is, as I said, previously guided and controlled by medical imaging, either ultrasound or MR imaging. Now, the fact that there are so many different mechanisms of action creates the opportunity to treat a wide variety of medical disorders. Today, around the world, there are more than 180 clinical indications or diseases in various stages of research and development in commercialization. Ten years ago or so, there were only three. That's how rapidly the field is growing." #FocusedUltrasoundFoundation #FUSFoundation #FocusedUltrasound #Glioblastoma #ClinicalTrials #NeuroOncology #Innovation #Healthcare #MedTech #Oncology #Neurology fusfoundation.org Listen to the podcast here

Thanks for listening and sharing. We couldn't do it without you (actually, we could but we rather not).
Phantom smells. Lack of focus. Dizziness. While everyone is talking about hot flashes and night sweats, women know that the transition to menopause brings on tons of signs and symptoms that no one ever talks about. This week's guest, menopause educator and researcher Andrea Donsky is on a mission to change that. As the co-founder of Morphus, Inc., Donsky has become a data collecting machine and has recently published four abstracts in the journal Menopause, including The Wide Range of Symptoms of Perimenopause and Menopause and the Means By Which Women Seek Support, where she addresses the dozens (103 and counting…) signs and symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. We talk about the importance of specific symptom tracking, the need for better healthcare provider education, and much more this week. Known as the “Menopause Educator and Researcher” to her nearly 350,000+ TikTok followers, Andrea Donsky is a nutritionist on a mission to change the conversation around perimenopause and menopause. Andrea is a four-time published menopause researcher and entrepreneur with 25 years of experience in the health and wellness space. Andrea hosts the popular podcast ‘Menopause Reimagined,' and appears as a Menopause Expert on television across North America. Her latest venture, www.wearemorphus.com helps women to “Reimagine Menopause” as a journey of empowerment so they feel heard, supported, and validated. Morphus empowers women to take control of their symptoms and health with nutrition, lifestyle, research, and science-backed supplements.

Send us a textIntracellular delivery is essential for advancing research and clinical applications, yet it presents unique challenges when working with different cell types and biomolecules.In a recent episode of the Smart Biotech Scientist podcast, David Brühlmann spoke with Armon Sharei, the founder and CEO of Portal Bio, about the future of cell therapy, the hurdles of intracellular delivery, and groundbreaking innovations in drug screening.Armon's journey began at MIT, where his initial focus on chemical engineering evolved into a passion for cell engineering. While exploring innovative methods for introducing materials into cells, he discovered a novel mechanism: squeezing cells to temporarily disrupt their membranes, allowing materials to diffuse in.Armon explained that optimizing delivery parameters - such as pore size and the speed at which cells pass through specialized membranes - can significantly enhance efficiency. "If you've optimized it, one time is enough," he noted. "We can get above 80% delivery and viability pretty easily for most cell types." He emphasized the importance of tailoring pore sizes to specific cell types, such as smaller pores for T cells compared to stem cells. Additionally, the flow speed of cells through the membrane is critical; moving too slowly renders the process ineffective, while moving too quickly can damage the cells.Tune in to this episode to find out more about:Addressing Intracellular Delivery Challenges: Portal Bio's breakthrough technology uses mechanical deformation to open a cell's lipid bilayer, allowing materials to diffuse in. This approach overcomes the limitations of traditional methods like electroporation or nanoparticle-mediated delivery, which often depend on molecular charge or risk damaging cells.Delivering a Wide Range of Molecules: Portal Bio's technology is versatile, capable of delivering DNA, RNA, peptides, proteins, and more. Unlike methods tailored to specific molecules, this platform supports diverse applications. For instance, RNA operates in the cytoplasm, making delivery straightforward, while CRISPR complexes require nuclear localization sequences to enable gene editing in the nucleus.Streamlining Drug Screening: Portal Bio's technology also revolutionizes drug screening. Traditional approaches often struggle with impermeable small molecules, leading to lengthy and uncertain drug development processes. By enabling high-throughput screening, Portal Bio accelerates the evaluation of numerous drug candidates, identifying promising options before chemical modifications are necessary.As bioprocesses grow more advanced, the demand for efficient and versatile intracellular delivery methods becomes increasingly critical. Armon's insights underscore a transformative shift in the technologies and processes shaping the future of cell therapy and bioprocessing.Connect with Armon ShareiLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/armonshareiPortal: https://www.portal.bioWondering how to develop cell and gene therapies with peace of mind?

At last year's Festival of Barrel-Aged Beers in Chicago, a relative newcomer grabbed both the silver and bronze medals in the Wild Beer Mixed Culture with Fruit category, immediately sending the crowd to flood the pouring table with requests for tastes. The brewery brand—Idyll Forest Artisan Ales—is the wild, mixed-culture passion project of Pryes Brewing (https://www.pryesbrewing.com) cofounder Jeremy Pryes. The small production facility he's built about 20 minutes from the main brewery is his culture and flavor laboratory. Despite founding the brewery over a decade ago, Pryes still spends time on the production brew deck and then makes time for his acid-forward labors of love, but the long days are worth it for Pryes. There are too many ideas to try, too many experiments to work out, and too much to learn to slow down now. In this episode, Pryes discusses both their classic approach to “Midwest IPA” as well as the wild path he's forging with Idyll Forest. Along the way, he touches on: their slow and intentional growth from alternating proprietorship to large beer hall the fundamental tenets of classic Midwest IPA challenges in selecting Simcoe with a more classic flavor profile how drinkers' palates have evolved over the past decade changing yeast strains, making drier beers with no caramel malt, and finding balance through lower bitterness differentiating West Coast–style IPAs from Midwest IPAs through hop choices building common lanes for Idyll Forest's wild, spontaneous, and mixed-culture beers the narrow IBU window between bacterial party time and lockdown pre-acidifying or not, depending on flavor intentions decisions and process around fruit additions using carbonic maceration of grapes to improve flavor expression articulating beer-blending goals through writing avoiding vanilla in certain fruited mixed-culture beers And more. Note: After we recorded this episode, Pryes went on to win a World Beer Cup bronze for Soirée, which had also won bronze at FOBAB.

Is qualified immunity a narrow doctrine focused on protecting the police when they make “split second decisions”? If you listen to its defenders you would get that impression. The reality is far, far different. And IJ now has the stats to back that up. In this special episode, we welcome on IJ's Bob McNamara and data scientist Jason Tiezzi to discuss a new report Unaccountable: How Qualified Immunity Shields a Wide Range of Government Abuses, Arbitrarily Thwarts Civil Rights, and Fails to Fulfill Its Promises. It presents an analysis of over 7,000 federal appellate decisions over an eleven-year period and tells us a lot about how qualified immunity actually works in practice. We dig into many of its findings, such as that only 27% of appeals where qualified immunity was at issue involved excessive force. And that almost one in five qualified immunity appeals involved First Amendment claims. Listen in to hear the details, including about how this massive study was put together. And click below in the show notes to read the report itself. Unaccountable, the IJ report Bound By Oath episode on qualified immunity
