EXPERT ALERTS:

Military Personnel Sacrificing Reproductive Years for Service: New Technologies Can Help
Michael Pelekanos, M.D.
Vice Chairman, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology
Forbes Regional Health Center
"The majority of the Armed Forces are sacrificing their prime reproductive years to serve our country. What's more, approximately one in six U.S. couples have difficulty conceiving. The truth is, these days, getting pregnant can come down to an exact science, and for couples planning to conceive or having difficulty doing so, new technologies are making their way into the bedroom to help them achieve their goal. Devices like Stork OTC, an emerging FDA-cleared over-the-counter home device that utilizes cervical cap insemination, enable sperm to quickly bypass the vaginal tract, placing the sperm as close as possible to the opening of the cervix. In a recent post-coital study, cervical cap insemination with the Stork OTC was shown to have a 3.23 higher value of sperm concentration at the cervix, on average, compared to the value of sperm concentration with natural intercourse. This type of new conception device can be used as a complement to natural intercourse before couples are referred out for additional treatment options."
Dr. Pelekanos, the author of the study and a board-certified OB-GYN, is available for interview to discuss the study in more detail. He can also speak about the increased availability of baby-making technology now available for couples, such as The Stork OTC, the only FDA-cleared, over-the-counter home conception device using cervical cap insemination (Dr. Pelekanos is not affiliated with the device). He can also offer tips to help couples optimize their reproductive health for a healthy conception.

Playing Amateur Football Smarter
Bobby Vernon
Non-Executive Director
Process Maker
"For decades, we've been teaching our kids to start playing tackle football earlier, hit harder, practice longer, and play like the pros. What if our current thinking about football coaching and culture was all wrong? Pee Wee League players are getting paid to play football. Football conditioning is a year-round endeavor. Our kids are sustaining traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) before they reach high school. And, worst of all, many young football players are sacrificing everything to make it into the NFL history books -- an almost impossible goal that isn't all it's cracked up to be. No wonder they're not having any fun anymore."
Vernon, an accomplished entrepreneur, speaker, writer, and business consultant, recently published "Tackling Dummies: Playing Amateur Football Smarter." With real football stories from a number of amateur fields at all levels, concussion treatment and prevention protocols, descriptions and photos of safer and more effective tackling techniques, football tactics, and honest insights into college and NFL "careers," this book is a must-have for any football fan, player, coach, or parent. Vernon received his MBA from Duke University and his undergraduate degree from Georgetown University, where he played varsity football for the Hoyas. He was a three-year starter at defensive back and led the team in interceptions his senior year. He currently coaches high school football in Miami. He is also a public speaker and has spoken on the subjects of entrepreneurship, corporate governance, financial liability, insurance distribution, and football at both small and large companies over the past fifteen years. He has also spoken at many notable conferences, namely the 1998 and 2005 PLUS conferences in Palm Springs and Boston, respectively; the 2006 C5 Conference in London; the 1998 World Research conference in Miami; and the 2016 Glazier football clinic in Tampa, Fla. He remains active as both an investor and board member in the financial and technology industries.

Three Reasons Obamacare Is Bad for Millennials
Dr. Elaina George
Dr. George says there are three reasons Obamacare is bad for Millennials: "1) Health care costs skyrocket: Because of Obamacare, young people have seen up to a 44 percent increase in premiums because the new 3-1 ratio (older people can't be charged more than three times the cost of a young person's health care) forces the young to subsidize the old in the health insurance market. Not only are elderly individuals paying artificially lower prices for their insurance, but millennials are paying artificially higher prices. 2) Harder to keep jobs: Because of Obamacare's mandates on businesses, employers are increasingly forced to cut back on hiring and hours of work. Employers are forced to purchase expensive insurance packages at the risk of being fined. The law mandates to anyone employing 50 or more full-time employees to purchase federally standardized health insurance. This coverage is often very expensive because of the inclusion of a wide range of government-mandated benefits. 3) An explosion of the national debt: If the above two reasons weren't enough to make a young person worry, this point will for sure. As of March 2015, Obamacare has a net cost of $1.207 trillion over the next 10 years and will add an additional $17 trillion over the next 75 years in unfunded liabilities."
Dr. George, author of "Big Medicine: The Cost of Corporate Control and How Doctors and Patients Working Together Can Rebuild a Better System," is available for interviews. A board certified otolaryngologist, Dr. George is on the advisory council of Project 21 black leadership network, an initiative of The National Center for Public Policy Research. She also hosts her own radio show, "Medicine On Call," and is a keynote speaker for many organizations.
