Lesson Title: Understanding Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

Introduction:
Hormones play a crucial role in maintaining our overall health and well-being. As we age, our hormone levels decline, leading to various health issues. Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a treatment that helps restore hormonal balance in the body. In this lesson, we will explore what BHRT is, its benefits, and how it works through pellet therapy.

Section 1: What is BHRT?
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a medical treatment that involves the use of hormones to replace the ones that our bodies lose as we age. These hormones are usually derived from plant estrogens and testosterone.

Section 2: Benefits of BHRT
BHRT offers numerous benefits, including:
- Improved mood and energy levels
- Better sleep quality
- Enhanced libido
- Reduced risk of heart disease and osteoporosis
- Increased muscle mass and strength
- Improved cognitive function

Section 3: How does BHRT work?
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy works by replacing the hormones that our bodies lose as we age. The most common hormones that are replaced are estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

Section 4: Pellet Therapy
Pellet therapy is a popular method of delivering BHRT. It involves the insertion of small pellets containing hormones under the skin. These pellets release hormones gradually over time, providing a consistent flow of hormones into the bloodstream.

Section 5: Why choose pellet therapy?
Pellet therapy offers several advantages over other methods of BHRT delivery, such as creams or gels. These advantages include:
- Consistent hormone levels: Pellet therapy provides a steady release of hormones, preventing fluctuations in hormone levels.
- Convenience: Pellets are inserted once or twice a year, making it a hassle-free option.
- Effectiveness: Pellet therapy has been shown to be more effective than other methods of BHRT delivery.

Section 6: Who can benefit from BHRT?
Both men and women can benefit from BHRT. For women, BHRT can help with symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. It can also improve mood, energy levels, and libido. For men, BHRT can help with low testosterone levels, which can lead to fatigue, decreased muscle mass, and reduced sex drive.

Section 7: Conclusion
In conclusion, Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy is an effective way to restore hormonal balance in the body. Pellet therapy is a popular method of delivering BHRT, offering convenience and effectiveness. Whether you are a man or a woman, BHRT can help improve your overall health and well-being. If you are interested in learning more about BHRT or scheduling a consultation, call (410) 266-3613 or reach us online right away.

Strategies like upleveling your pricing models, nailing down your core message, and clean-selling – all the way to an easy (but profitable!) Sunday check-in habit. You can make much more money, take your weekends back, say good-bye to confusion, and…

How to Live That Impossible Dream of Yours

This week, I asked you to post your questions about my Defying Gravity training, and the winner is…drum roll please… Julie Wienen! I think her question is one that will resonate with many of you.

Do you think it’s unrealistic to want it all? To dream that impossible dream of yours? Have a wildly successful business, have great relationships with family and loved ones, and connect with like-minded entrepreneurs… does it all seem like it could be too good to be true?

“Is it unrealistic to want it all or think I can have it all? I want to earn a huge income, run a wildly successful biz that makes my heart sing, have an amazing marriage, experience intimacy and connectedness with my young daughter, and foster amazing relationships with other women entrepreneurs. Just writing this gets my heart pumping, but it seems too good, too much. Does something have to give?”

Ok. So Julie—first thing, I’m going to give you a little coaching as to how you posed that question. When you’re working with a coach, you don’t want to ask “yes” or “no” questions, because what you’re doing it giving away your power. That’s not coaching anymore—it’s collapsing.

My answer isn’t going to be about “should you” or “is it,” “is it unrealistic,” because those are questions YOU have to answer.

There will be SO many of those people that will tell you “yes,” (muggles, as I call them). I’ve had plenty of these people in my life too (and coincidentally, they aren’t around anymore)! The reason these people exist and talk the way they do is because they have to match their own world—their own reality of probably working away in a cubicle and never getting up and doing something else.

Do YOU think it’s possible to live your dream?

What do you think? Is it possible?

I think you already know the answer to it.

You’re here, you’re watching someone like me, and you’ve been watching people out there achieve their dreams. It wasn’t possible for me, but I did it anyway.

When we ask questions like this, we’re seeing the goal as something out there that will magically appear. We’re seeing the goal as being something outside of us. It’s a disempowering way of looking a something you want in your world.

It’s about who you become on your way to reaching a goal:

So who do you have to become in order for it to be embodied in you? What characteristics? What traits?

A lot of us look at the goal as being way outside of themselves, and in the process forget about the most important thing about creating that goal, and that’s the space. Now, I don’t like to call it a gap (though a lot of people do).

I like to call it the between space. THAT’S where it all evolves.

When you work on you, and these things that you want, when it actually arrives, you’re aren’t going to have an all of the sudden “WOW” realization, because you will have evolved into it…you became it on the way.

What small steps can you take to achieve your goals?

You’re talking about different areas of your life—relationships in your life, business…where are you now in those areas? What small steps can you take to make progress. And that’s the real kicker! Most of us don’t want to take the small steps…

Tell me in the comments below ONE thing you big dream you have – and share ONE step you can take, starting today, to BECOMING that dream.

And for those of you who want to go deeper, who want to take this work and implement, execute and get the results–

I’ve just opened doors on a coaching experience with me. I have created and designed a 7-week deep-dive program for you called BECOMING 360. In Becoming 360, we go deep, SOUL deep. Here, you get a 360 in-depth training into your dreams and who you are being called to become in your business and in this lifetime. If you’re ready to really do this, click here to get in!

Comments

Mickeysays

My big dream right now? Selling my current business and focusing my energy and passion on the business my husband and I share. I AM becoming that dream. I am shifting my mindset, letting go of the fears, and stepping into my power. The one step I’ve been focusing on taking every day (begun when I started watching the Defying Gravity video series) is being conscious of my intention and focusing on reigning in my tendency toward negativity. When I get overwhelmed with all the details of selling the business, I take a break, take a deep breath, and focus on how I’m going to feel when that process is complete and I can move into the future.

Becoming 360 was the game changer for me. If UpLevel Your Biz helped me rethink the work and helped me reframe work and basic needs, then B360 was the higher level of work on my mindset and soul. Worth every penny. In 6-8 months, from starting UYB to finishing B360, I was a totally different person.

**Question:** How can I determine the right price for my products or services?
**Answer:** To determine the right price for your products or services, you need to consider several factors, including the value your product or service provides, the market demand, and the cost of production. You can also research your competitors' prices and see what they are charging for similar products or services.

**Question:** How can I communicate my new pricing to my clients?
**Answer:** When communicating your new pricing to your clients, it's essential to be transparent and honest about the changes. Explain the value that your product or service now offers and how it justifies the price increase. You can also offer a limited-time discount to incentivize them to continue working with you.

**Section 2: Nail Down Your Core Message**

Your core message is the essence of what you stand for and what you offer to your clients. It's crucial to nail down your core message to ensure that you're consistently delivering value and attracting the right clients. Here are some tips on how to do this:

**Question:** What is a core message, and why is it important?

**Question:** How can I discover my core message?
**Answer:** To discover your core message, start by identifying your unique strengths, values, and expertise. Then, think about how you can translate these into a clear and concise message that resonates with your target audience. You can also conduct market research to see what your clients are looking for and tailor your message accordingly.

**Question:** How can I communicate my core message to my clients?
**Answer:** Once you've nailed down your core message, you need to communicate it effectively to your clients. This can be done through various channels, such as your website, social media, email newsletters, and even face-to-face interactions. Make sure that your core message is prominent in all of your communication materials.

**Section 3: Clean-Selling**

Clean-selling is a strategy that involves removing any obstacles or distractions that may hinder your clients from buying your products or services. Here are some tips on how to implement this strategy:

**Question:** What is clean-selling, and why is it important?
**Answer:** Clean-selling is a strategy that involves simplifying your sales process and removing any unnecessary steps or distractions that may hinder your clients from buying your products or services. It's important because it helps you increase your conversion rates, close more deals, and grow your business.

**Question:** How can I simplify my sales process?
**Answer:** To simplify your sales process, you need to identify any obstacles or distractions that may be hindering your clients from buying your products or services. These may include complicated pricing plans, lengthy contracts, or confusing language. Once you've identified these obstacles, work on simplifying them and making the buying process as seamless as possible.

**Question:** How can I communicate the benefits of my products or services?
**Answer:** To communicate the benefits of your products or services, you need to focus on the value that they provide to your clients. Highlight the results that your clients can expect to achieve by using your products or services. Use testimonials, case studies, and other social proof to demonstrate the effectiveness of your offerings.

**Conclusion:**

- There are two main types of place settings: formal and informal.
- Formal place settings include more utensils and dishes than informal ones.

- The order of utensils is typically: salad fork, dinner fork, knife, soup spoon, and coffee spoon.

Topic 3: Using the Correct Utensils for Each Course
- Use the appropriate utensil for each course.
- For example, use the salad fork for the appetizer, and switch to the dinner fork for the main course.

Section 2: Table Manners

Topic 1: Holding Utensils Properly
- Hold utensils properly to avoid making a mess and looking awkward.
- Hold knives and spoons in the dominant hand, while forks should be held in both hands.

Topic 2: Using Utensils Correctly

Lesson: Understanding the Importance of Renewable Energy Sources

Introduction:
Renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly important in today's world. They are environmentally friendly and can help reduce our dependence on non-renewable resources such as oil, coal, and natural gas. In this lesson, we will explore the importance of renewable energy sources and their impact on the environment.

Section 1: What is Renewable Energy?

Renewable energy refers to energy that comes from natural resources that are replenished over time. These sources include solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass. Unlike non-renewable energy sources such as coal and oil, renewable energy sources do not run out and can be replenished in a relatively short period.

Section 2: Why is Renewable Energy Important?

Renewable energy is important for several reasons. First, it helps reduce our dependence on non-renewable energy sources, which are finite and will eventually run out. This means that we need to find alternative sources of energy to power our homes, businesses, and vehicles. Second, renewable energy sources produce little to no emissions, which means they are much better for the environment than traditional energy sources. Finally, renewable energy sources are often cheaper to produce than non-renewable sources, which means that they can save consumers money over time.

Section 3: How Does Renewable Energy Work?

Renewable energy works by harnessing the power of natural resources such as sunlight, wind, water, and heat. For example, solar panels use sunlight to generate electricity, while wind turbines use the power of the wind to turn generators and produce electricity. Hydroelectric power uses the force of moving water to generate electricity, while geothermal energy uses the heat from the earth's core to produce electricity.

Section 4: Real-World Examples

There are many real-world examples of renewable energy sources in action. For example, solar panels are becoming increasingly common on rooftops around the world, and many countries are investing in wind farms to generate electricity. Hydroelectric power has been used for centuries to generate electricity, and geothermal energy is used to heat buildings in some parts of the world.

Section 5: Conclusion

In conclusion, renewable energy sources are important because they are environmentally friendly, sustainable, and can help reduce our dependence on non-renewable resources. By understanding how renewable energy works and its impact on the environment, we can make informed decisions about how to use these sources in our daily lives.

One problem with utilizing large trucks which have bodies with relatively tall side walls is that it is difficult to obtain access to the interior of the load-carrying compartment. For example, when grain such as wheat and the like is loaded in the truck, it is difficult for a person to gain access to the interior of the truck body. Normally, it is necessary to climb over the cabin area of the truck. Such is not only inconvenient, but is dangerous due to the possibility of falling. Furthermore, once access to the interior of the truck is obtained, it is difficult for large people to climb out of the interior of the truck. While ladder assemblies have been provided in the past on railroad cars and the like such as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 1,714,451, such ladder assemblies are not practical and readily mountable on trucks which have relatively thin side walls. Conventional step ladders have been carried by truckers, however, such are very impractical and is also inconvenient to store on the side of the truck.
While there are ladder constructions capable of being positioned on both sides of a wall so that one can readily climb over the wall, such ladders would not be practical for use on a truck having high side walls since they normally require at least one leg of the ladder to rest on the ground. Examples of such ladders are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,908,795, 4,284,171, and 1,401,257.

Lesson: Introduction to Tall Truck Access Ladders

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

An access ladder is a device used to reach high areas that are difficult to access. In this lesson, we will learn about tall truck access ladders, which are designed to help people reach the interior of trucks with high side walls.

### Section 2: Practical Examples

Tall truck access ladders are commonly used in the transportation industry, particularly in the loading and unloading of bulk materials such as grain, coal, and sand. These materials often require access to the interior of the truck's load-carrying compartment. However, climbing over the cabin area of the truck can be dangerous and inconvenient, especially for large people. Additionally, conventional step ladders are impractical and inconvenient to store on the side of the truck.

### Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

A truck driver loads a truck with wheat. The truck has high side walls, making it difficult for the driver to access the interior of the truck. The driver needs to climb over the cabin area of the truck, which is dangerous and inconvenient. The driver also needs to store a conventional step ladder, which is impractical and inconvenient.

### Glossary

- Access ladder: A device used to reach high areas that are difficult to access.
- Truck: A vehicle designed to transport goods or materials.
- Load-carrying compartment: The area of a truck where goods or materials are stored.
- Bulk materials: Goods or materials that are transported in large quantities, such as grain, coal, and sand.
- Cabin area: The area of a truck where the driver sits.

### Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about tall truck access ladders and their importance in the transportation industry. We discussed the practical examples and real-world scenarios in which these ladders are used. By understanding the theoretical concepts and applying them to real-world scenarios, we can improve our ability to access high areas in trucks safely and efficiently.

Lesson: Introduction to OpenStreetMap

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. It is built by people like you and me who contribute their time and effort to create and update maps. OSM uses a combination of satellite imagery, GPS traces, and user-submitted data to create accurate maps.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's take a look at an example of how OSM works. Imagine you are planning a trip to a new city and want to find the best route to get from your hotel to the nearest grocery store. You can use OSM to find the location of the store and plan your journey. Using the map, you can see which roads are busy and which ones are quiet, and you can also see if there are any public transport options available.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Now let's consider a more complex scenario. Suppose you are working on a humanitarian aid project in a remote region of the world where there are no existing maps. You can use OSM to create a map of the area and mark the locations of important landmarks such as hospitals, schools, and water sources. This information can then be shared with other organizations working in the area to help them plan their projects and coordinate their efforts.

## Glossary
- OSM: OpenStreetMap
- GPS: Global Positioning System
- Satellite imagery: Pictures taken by satellites of the Earth's surface
- Trace: A record of a person's or object's path or movement
- Editable: Able to be changed or modified
- Collaborative: Work done together by several people
- Free: Available without cost
- License: A legal document giving permission to use something
- Hosting: Providing a space for data or websites to be stored and accessed
- Partners: Organizations that work together

## Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about OpenStreetMap, a collaborative project to create a free map of the world. We explored how OSM uses satellite imagery, GPS traces, and user-submitted data to create accurate maps. We also looked at practical examples of how OSM can be used to plan a journey and create maps in areas where there are no existing maps. Finally, we discussed how OSM can be used in real-world scenarios to coordinate humanitarian aid projects. By learning about OSM, we can apply these skills to other mapping projects and contribute to creating a better world.

Lesson: Introduction to the Paraguayan Harp

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
The Paraguayan harp is a small, high-pitched stringed instrument that is commonly used in South American music. It has a unique design with a curved surface and multiple strings that are plucked to create sound. In this lesson, we will learn about the history, construction, and playing techniques of the Paraguayan harp.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's start with the history of the Paraguayan harp. The instrument originated in Paraguay in the early 19th century and was initially used by the Guaraní people. It became popular throughout South America and eventually spread to other parts of the world. Today, the Paraguayan harp is widely recognized as a symbol of Paraguayan culture.

Now let's move on to the construction of the Paraguayan harp. The body of the instrument is typically made of wood and has a curved shape. There are usually 36 strings, which are made of nylon or gut, arranged in groups of four. The strings are tuned diatonically, meaning that each string produces only one pitch.

To play the Paraguayan harp, the player uses their fingers to pluck the strings. The right hand is used to pluck the higher-pitched strings, while the left hand plucks the lower-pitched strings. The player can also change the pitch of the strings by adjusting the tension of the strings with their fingers.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Now let's listen to an example of Paraguayan harp music. This piece is called "El Chañarí" and is played by Alfredo Rolando Ortiz, a famous Paraguayan harpist. As you listen, notice how the player changes the pitch of the strings by adjusting the tension with their fingers.

In conclusion, the Paraguayan harp is a unique and beautiful instrument that has a rich history and cultural significance. By studying its construction, playing techniques, and listening to examples of its music, we can deepen our appreciation for this instrument and the traditions it represents.


text: Osteoarthritis is the most common arthritis in the world. It affects millions of people with age being the greatest risk factor for developing the disease. The burden of disease will worsen with the aging of the world's population. The disease causes pain and functional disability. The direct costs of osteoarthritis include hospital and physician visits, medications, and assistive services. The indirect costs include work absences and lost wages. Many studies have sought to find a therapy to relieve pain and reduce disability. Glucosamine hydrochloride (HCl) is one of these therapies. There are limited studies of glucosamine HCl in humans. Although some subjects do report statistically significant improvement in pain and function from products combining glucosamine HCl and other agents, glucosamine HCl by itself appears to offer little benefit to those suffering from osteoarthritis.

Symptoms of osteoarthritis include joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced range of motion. These symptoms can vary from person to person and may worsen over time.

## Section 3: Treatments

There is no cure for osteoarthritis, but there are several treatments available to manage the symptoms and slow the progression of the disease. These treatments include:

1. Pain medications: Over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help reduce pain and inflammation. Prescription medications such as opioids or corticosteroids may also be prescribed.

2. Physical therapy: Exercise and physical therapy can help improve joint mobility, strength, and flexibility. This can help reduce pain and stiffness and improve overall function.

3. Assistive devices: Devices such as braces, splints, or orthotics can help support weak or painful joints and reduce stress on the affected area.

4. Surgery: In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to repair or replace the damaged joint. This can include joint replacement, fusion, or resurfacing procedures.

## Section 4: Economic Impact

The economic impact of osteoarthritis is significant, both for individuals and society as a whole. Direct costs include hospital and physician visits, medications, and assistive services. Indirect costs include work absences and lost wages due to disability.

In conclusion, osteoarthritis is a common and debilitating disease that affects millions of people worldwide. While there is no cure, there are several treatments available to manage the symptoms and slow the progression of the disease.

Lesson Title: Introduction to Air Mattresses

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

An air mattress is a type of mattress that uses air as its support system. It is typically made of vinyl or other synthetic materials and can be used for various purposes such as camping, traveling, or as an additional sleeping surface at home. Air mattresses are popular because they provide comfort and support while being lightweight and easy to inflate.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

Air mattresses come in different sizes, shapes, and styles. For example, some air mattresses have built-in pumps that make it easy to inflate them, while others require manual inflation using a separate pump. Additionally, some air mattresses are designed specifically for outdoor activities like camping, while others are more suited for indoor use.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

One of the benefits of using an air mattress is that it can be easily deflated and stored when not in use. However, this also means that it takes up less space than a traditional mattress. Do you think the convenience of having an air mattress outweighs the fact that it takes up less storage space? Why or why not?

## Glossary
- Air mattress: A type of mattress that uses air as its support system.
- Vinyl: A synthetic material often used to make air mattresses.
- Camping: An outdoor activity where people spend time in nature, usually involving sleeping outside in tents or other temporary shelters.
- Indoor: Inside a building or structure, as opposed to outdoor.

## Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about air mattresses and their many uses. We discussed the practical aspects of choosing an air mattress, including size, shape, and style. Finally, we engaged in a self-debating discussion about the pros and cons of using an air mattress. By understanding these concepts, we can make informed decisions about whether an air mattress is the right choice for our needs.

Lesson: Introduction to USB Protocol

**Objective:** To introduce students to the Universal Serial Bus (USB) protocol, its history, and its applications.

**Introduction:**
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) protocol is a standard that enables the connection of devices such as keyboards, mice, printers, and smartphones to computers. It was introduced in 1996 and has since become the most widely used interface for connecting peripherals to computers.

**History:**
Before the introduction of USB, computers used various interfaces to connect peripherals such as serial ports, parallel ports, and PS/2 ports. These interfaces were proprietary and could only be used by specific devices. With the introduction of USB, a single interface could be used to connect multiple devices, making it more convenient for users.

**Applications:**
USB is used in a wide range of applications, including data transfer, charging, and communication between devices. For example, when you connect your smartphone to your computer using a USB cable, you can transfer files between the two devices or charge your phone's battery. USB is also used in medical devices, industrial automation, and many other industries.

**Section 1: Theory**
- What is USB?
- When was USB introduced?
- What are the applications of USB?

**Section 2: Practice**
- Connect a USB device to a computer
- Transfer files between two devices using USB
- Charge a device using USB

**Section 3: Challenge**
- Research the history of USB and create a timeline of significant events
- Find an application of USB that you didn't know about before and explain how it works

**Glossary:**
- USB: Universal Serial Bus
- Peripheral: A device that is connected to a computer to perform a specific function
- Interface: A point of interaction between two systems
- Proprietary: Owned by an individual or company

**Conclusion:**
In this lesson, we learned about the Universal Serial Bus (USB) protocol, its history, and its applications. We practiced connecting a USB device to a computer and transferring files between devices using USB. We also challenged ourselves to research the history of USB and find an application of USB that we didn't know about before. By understanding the basics of USB, we can apply this knowledge to new problems and stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in technology.
