First, can you talk about what your life was life before the stroke — and were there any warning signs?
What was your condition right after the stroke?
In the book you write about getting a bleak prognosis, which must have felt awful. But how did you resolve to start putting yourself back together?
How long did it take you to regain your speech and mobility, and to what extent?
Can you talk about your experience with your family, friends, doctors and therapists — who were invaluable in the process? Who did you lean on?
Can you talk about some strategies people who experience a stroke and aphasia should take to improve their odds?
It’s clear the stroke changed your life. But would you say the experience had a silver lining?

Don’t Let Water Damage Drain Your Health

 
 
Joe Alfrey, CEO of Sencentric, which designs and manufactures products for real-time, end to end cold chain monitoring for the agricultural, food & beverage, and pharmaceutical industries joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Technology Channels. The company has recently introduced a new product called SimpleSENCE, a Wifi-based Water Leak and Freeze Detector.
 
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Joe Alfrey discuss the following:
Tell us about the new product, SimpleSENCE. How does it work, and why did you invent it?
Obviously, undetected water leaks can create severe water damage. But how can that affect your health?
We’ve certainly heard about water damage causing mold. What other health-related issues can arise?
If a leak goes undetected long enough, can it cause enough structural damage for a person to hurt themselves by, say, falling through a floor?
If a leak is being caused by rusting pipes, can there be rust in the water – in other words, besides having a leak, could you also have a water-quality issue?
Summary: Most of us have experienced the nuisance and costs associated with leaky pipes. Believe it or not, a pipe that leaks just once every second every day, all day, would fill a gallon container in only four and a half hours. Now imagine if that leak went unnoticed for a long period of time – weeks or even months. The structural damage that can be caused by that leak can not only be expensive to repair but can actually be dangerous to your health. In fact, there are more health risks from undetected water leaks than you may realize. Water leak detectors – especially in areas of your home that are not readily visible or accessible – can catch leaks early and alleviate the costs, the inconvenience and, most importantly, the health risks associated with structural water damage in your home.
Joe Alfrey is the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sencentric, a company that designs and manufactures products for real-time, end to end cold chain monitoring for the agricultural, food & beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. His company recently introduced a new product called SimpleSENCE, a WiFi-based Water Leak and Freeze Detector.
 
 
Mr. Alfrey has extensive experience providing financial and executive leadership in companies ranging from start-up to Fortune 500 enterprises that include Eli Lilly, Medtronic and CareFusion, with Controller and CFO roles at a number of venture-backed companies. He excels in strategy development/execution, M&A analysis and transactions, and capital raising and related activities.
Mr. Alfrey is a Certified Management Accountant. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Economics from the University of San Diego and a Masters Degree in Finance from San Diego State University.

Makeup so good for your skin, you don’t need to wash it off

 
 
Megan Potter is an Australian qualified personal stylist, beauty therapist and makeup artist who has developed a range of cosmetics so good for your skin you don’t need to wash it off and joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Skin Care Channels.
 
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Megan Potter discuss the following:
Why did you decide to develop your own range of cosmetics?
Aren’t there many natural mineral makeup products out there?
How is your makeup good for skin?
Tell me about what others are saying about your makeup?
Can everyone use Megan Potter Cosmetics?
TIP: If you do want to clean your face at the end of the day, there is no need to purchase expensive cleaners and exfoliate. Cleans your skin with simple coconut oil and a face washer, I think you call it a wash cloth? I use three drops of my Refreshing facial oil once at night. My skin is still moist and ready for me to apply makeup without any additional moisturizers. You might need to apply 3 drops again in the morning if you live in a dry climate – I’m here in Queensland Australia which is sup-tropical!
Megan Potter is a qualified personal stylist, beauty therapist and makeup artist having styled clients in Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide Australia. Her career began as a beauty therapist and makeup artist over a decade ago in Adelaide, and her career took her to Dubai in 2008 for the International Beauty Expo. It was there that Megan helped to put Australia on the map as a mecca for quality mineral makeup.
Her aim has always been to help women look and feel good, whatever their budget. Restoring and growing confidence and self-love in her clients is Megan’s absolute passion.
All of Megan’s own brand of makeup and skincare are made using 100% natural ingredients, are of the highest purity, and made in Australia.
