Many years ago, our guest suffered a debilitating car injury, severing his sciatica leading to long lasting pain and loss of function in his left leg. Since then, he's refused to give up, logging long bike rides for both physical and mental well being. And when that became too physically hard, he found a whole new way to pursue his passions of "birding and biking" when he walked into a Pedego Electric bike store in Wheaton, Illinois (50 miles from his home) and rode out with his new ebike. 

Logging in over 5000 miles in his first six months as he follows his heart and goes where few bird watchers can manage on long trips thru long forgotten trails from Green Bay to the Mississippi.  Like Johnny Appleseed, sowing smiles along the way and seeing what most others miss.

Listen as he recounts his routes and share in his indominable spirit and determination to always see what's over the next horizon. And go where the wild geese go. Here on the Pedego Podcast and EBike Revolution. Right here on Orange County's only community radio station, OC TALK RADIO. Streaming, not screaming talk radio.

As we continue to talk about Alzheimer’s disease, technological advancements have allowed physicians to detect early signs of this disease. Autopsies, brain scans and blood tests paved the way for physicians to finally identify cognitive disorders more accurately and thoroughly in a shorter span of time. Due to a lack of resources and know-how, the medical community used to focus only on treating sickness and disease instead of being proactive in the field of prevention. But as we are able to explore and discover new procedures and medical solutions to prevent future illnesses and complications, we have not only saved lives but have made good use of our resources as well.As we’ve discussed Cognivue and Aduhelm from the previous episodes, a new blood test called, “PrecivityAD™ test”, has been developed for patients with cognitive impairment and for those who are displaying early memory and thinking problems. This test help physicians to indirectly determine the presence of beta amyloid plaques in the brain by measuring this biomarker in the blood. Listen to Episode 8 as Dr. Dung Trinh is joined by our guest,  Dr. Joel Braunstein, as they discuss this simple method to detect Alzheimer’s early on and the benefits this test can offer.Gain relevant information about the PrecivityAD test and how this can greatly help the medical field when you listen to Episode 8! Memorable Quotes:Just because someone has a genetic risk factor does not guarantee that they will get the disease. - Dr. Joel Braunstein40 percent of dementia cognitive decline can be modifiable through lifestyle changes. - Dr. Joel BraunsteinSleep is super important to allow your brain to rest. - Dr. Joel BraunsteinOther Resources:precivityad.comImportant Points:Mass spectrometry is used to measure the atomic weight of particles that are circulating in the brain, blood, and CSL. A blood test can potentially replace a more invasive and more expensive brain scan.Having the beta amyloid plaque in the brain doesn’t condemn you to the diagnosis of having Alzheimer’sThe "Six Pillars" to stimulate your brain and reduce the risk for Alzheimer’s: physical exercise, brain exercise, socialization, getting enough sleep, controlling other health conditions, and nutrition.About the Guests:Joel Braunstein, MD, MBA is the CEO and Co-founder of C2N Diagnostics, CEO of LifeTech Research, and founding CEO of Tivorsan Pharmaceuticals.

Robert Lyle Albin was born on January 14, 1941 in El Centro, California.  He grew up in rural Missouri where he attended high school in the small town of Clinton, then worked to pay his own way through college over a seven year period that encompassed studies at the University of Missouri, Central Missouri State University and Missouri Valley College, where he received a B.A. degree in History and Political Science in 1965.

 

Following college Albin married his high school and college sweetheart, Karen Keck, and moved to Denver where he began a long career in business.  He had more than fifty years of executive business experience beginning with the founding, initially with six partners, of what would become a world-wide sales and management training firm, American Salesmasters, Ltd.  The firm presented large sales rallies annually in thirty-five major cities throughout the United States, Canada and Australia featuring world-famous authors and speaker from the field of business.  ...

Who is your favorite famous personality, writer, actor, politician? Isn’t that an easy ice breaker for a small group discussion? I’m guessing your mind is already wondering to that person, thinking of favorite anecdotes you have about them on the tip of you tongue.

But now imagine you have the opportunity to introduce this person to the world, not just with words, but you get to play the part in a movie about them.

Today, we welcome stage and screen actor, Max McLean, a man whose credits are easily found on Google, or better yet at the Fellowship for the Performing Arts web page: fpatheater.com, where Max is the founder & artistic director. He is here today because in just a handful of days, on November 3rd, there is a major one day release of a compelling movie telling the untold story of C.S. Lewis entitled, “The Most Reluctant Convert.” Welcome Max McLean.

Closing:

A few words before we close. What church should you go to? 

“And above all, you must be asking which door is the true one; not which pleases you best by its paint and panelling…the question should never be: ‘Do I like that kind of service?’ but ‘Are these doctrines true: Is holiness there? Does my conscience move me towards this? Is my reluctance to move to this door due to my pride, or my mere taste, or my personal dislike for this particular door-keeper?” 

― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

In my lifetime I have observed faith in God moving from a rather passive assumption in the culture around me, to a rather passive irrelevance. “Which church do you go to?” is a question with far more assumptions than a modern American would now make. Atheists have claimed the high ground in academia, somehow assuming they have won the day, disinterested in revisiting arguments from antiquity which allowed theism to dominate in world history.

In my world I come across a lot of atheists and less courageous agnostics. When allowed the chance I often express to them my envy of their assurance. I tell them I might be willing to join them, but I just can’t get there intellectually. This usually causes them pause. That’s their line. “Did he just say he can’t get to atheism intellectually?”

What they don’t know is that I don’t believe they came to a belief in the absence of God intellectually either. It doesn’t take a genius to look at a sunset and have a pretty strong intuition that this didn’t come from nothing, or chance which is another word for nothing. As prayers are cancelled in public gatherings, I haven’t noticed many hospitals and senior centers asking for fewer chaplains. When one is waiting for results of the cancer screening, I don’t know many calling out to the local atheist society for help.

In you are reluctant to follow thinking which could land you in the camp of Christ followers, perhaps it would be worth the time to meet one of your predecessors. His name is C.S. Lewis. You can find him in the movie “The Most Reluctant Convert.” Oh, and don’t be surprised if he becomes a rather good friend.

It’s Worth a Thought

For Church Hurts And, this is John Bash. Go and enjoy God today.

Two of the most important issues in administering a medication are the right patient and the right drug. Correct medications must be strictly given to the right patient and doctors must ensure that the medications given are up to date and as prescribed to prevent drug errors. Not all medications work for everyone so it is crucial to diagnose the patient correctly to prescribe the correct medicine for them. This is why healthcare is rapidly moving towards precision medicine. Precision medicine, also known as personalized medicine, is at its core for matching the right drug for the right patient. It offers a greater understanding of diseases and finds the intervention and treatment that best suits the patient’s needs by focusing on their genetics, environment, and lifestyle. Some studies show that many diseases are linked to genetic mutations thus, genes play a big role in how a certain disease starts.As we talk about the future of medicine, Dr. Dung Trinh is joined by the Principal Investigator of the All of Us Research Program, Dr. Hoda Anton-Culver, to share how their program works and how it focuses on collaborating with populations who are traditionally underrepresented in biomedical research. To shape the future of medicine, they welcome everyone to participate in this study regardless of culture, gender, and nationality.Participating in research like this is a great opportunity not only for your benefit but could also shape the future of medicine for the next generation.
