Friday 2/6/26: Water Talk with Paul the Waterman

Today’s Guests:
On this episode of Water Talk, Paul Dowding, Owner of Water Pro’s warned listeners about a chemical many people assume is gone but is still showing up in water supplies: Triclosan. Triclosan is an antibacterial agent that was widely used for years in soaps, toothpaste, and household products. It was banned from consumer hand soaps by the FDA because studies showed it offered no added health benefit over regular soap and water, while raising serious safety concerns. Paul explained that even though triclosan was removed from many store shelves, it didn’t disappear from the environment. It continues to enter waterways through wastewater systems and can remain in drinking water in trace amounts. One of the biggest concerns is its link to antibiotic resistance. Overexposure to antibacterial chemicals like triclosan can encourage bacteria to adapt and become harder to treat, weakening the effectiveness of real medical antibiotics.
The good news, Paul says, is that homeowners can take action. Advanced home water filtration especially high-quality reverse osmosis systems can significantly reduce contaminants like triclosan and other emerging pollutants. Water Pro’s offers free in-home water testing to help families understand what’s in their water and how to protect their health. Call Water Pro’s today for your free in home water test 303-862-5554.

Tuesday 2/3/26: Your Money Matters Radio Show & Medicare & More Brought to you by the Silver Sherpa

Today’s Guests:
On this week’s Your Money Matters Radio Show, Kurt answered a common question from his clients – from homeowners and buyers alike:
“Are there loans that can help me buy or refinance a home and pay for improvements?” The short answer is yes — rehab loans, and there are several types depending on your goals. We talked about how rehab loans can be used for both purchases and refinances, whether you’re updating a home to live in long-term, increasing value to sell, or improving cash flow. These loans are available through Conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA programs, and they can be customized to fit your situation. Kurt explained the difference between Limited Rehab loans and Full Rehab loans:
🔨 Limited Rehab loans are designed for non-structural updates like kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, appliances, windows, roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and even finishing a basement — with up to $75,000 built in.

🏗️ Full Rehab loans go further and can include structural changes, room additions, and major renovations, with loan amounts based on the future appraised value of the home.

We also discussed ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) — how zoning plays a role and how rehab financing can help homeowners add space for family or rental income.

Kurt explained when you can do some work yourself versus when a licensed contractor is required, how rehab funds are released, and walked through real-world examples showing how future value plays into loan approvals.

Finally, we touched on home appreciation, why condition matters more than headlines, and why short-term market noise shouldn’t distract you from long-term value and wealth building.

Monday 2/2/26: Colorado Eye Consultants & Custom Ear Solutions & Your Health Matters with Dr. Shane Steadman

Today’s Guests:
After my very successful cataract surgery at Colorado Eye Consultants with Dr. Robert Fish, I decided we would introduce all of the Doctors at CEC, and let you know all of their specialties in eye care. Today we introduce Dr. Ameay Naravane who is a board-certified ophthalmologist and fellowship-trained glaucoma specialist. He specializes in medical and surgical management of glaucoma, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), routine and complex cataract surgery, and advanced anterior segment procedures, including intraocular lens exchange or repositioning, secondary intraocular lens implantation, and iris repair. Dr. Naravane completed his undergraduate studies at Georgetown University, where he focused on Science, Technology, and International Affairs. He earned his medical degree from the University of Minnesota and completed his internship at Hennepin Healthcare. He then returned to the Chief Resident. Following residency, Dr. Naravane completed a fellowship in Glaucoma and Advanced Anterior Segment Surgery at Washington University in St. Louis. During his fellowship, he gained extensive experience in advanced glaucoma procedures (including trabeculectomy, glaucoma drainage devices, and diode cyclophotocoagulation), MIGS techniques (such as goniotomy, GATT, Hydrus, iStent, and XEN Gel Stent), and complex anterior segment and cataract surgeries. Dr. Naravane is known for his compassionate, individualized approach to care. He partners with each patient to develop tailored treatment plans that integrate both time-tested methods and the latest innovations in ophthalmology. A committed educator, he takes the time to ensure his patients understand their diagnosis and options for care. Dr. Naravane is thrilled to call Colorado home and is passionate about delivering exceptional eye care to the Denver community.

Then it’s Dr. Melissa Fling, Owner of Custom Ear Solutions with an earnest plea to our listeners, “please get a hearing test”! To have a baseline is so important in your overall hearing health. Protecting the hearing you have is the mission of Custom Ear Solutions!

On Your Health Matters, Dr. Perry Maynard explains how chiropractic neurology focuses on the brain and nervous system rather than just joints and muscles. This specialty blends modern neuroscience with functional rehabilitation to improve how the brain communicates with the body. The goal is to enhance movement, balance, pain control, and overall performance by retraining neurological pathways.

A chiropractic neurologist evaluates brain function, nerve signaling, reflexes, eye movement, motor control, and sensory processing to identify areas where neural circuits may be underactive or overstressed. Instead of only adjusting the spine, treatment targets brain plasticity the brain’s ability to rewire and heal.

Patients often seek this approach for concussion recovery, dizziness, migraines, chronic pain, balance disorders, post-stroke rehabilitation, traumatic brain injury, and even cognitive or sports performance support. It’s especially helpful for people whose scans appear normal but who still experience persistent symptoms.

Treatment is non-invasive and customized, often including eye exercises, balance training, vestibular therapy, gentle stimulation, motor retraining, and cognitive drills. Dr. Maynard emphasizes that chiropractic neurology is about restoring brain-body communication, helping patients function better, move better, and ultimately live healthier lives. Integrated Health Systems offers a free initial consultation to help patients get answers and a clear path forward. Call 303-781-5617 to schedule your appointment.

Friday 1/30/26: Water Talk with Paul the Waterman

Today’s Guests:
On this episode of Water Talk, Paul Dowding, Owner of Water Pro’s explains why many homeowners are increasingly concerned about what’s actually in their tap water. Paul discusses emerging contaminants such as PFAS, microplastics, prescription drugs, and hormones that are now being detected in water supplies across the country. These substances often pass through municipal treatment systems and can accumulate in the body over time, potentially contributing to serious health issues. Paul emphasizes that most people assume their water is safe, but without proper testing, there’s no way to truly know what’s coming out of the tap. That’s why Water Pro’s focuses on education, not pressure, offering a free in-home water test to identify contaminants specific to each home. Paul explains that clean water isn’t just about taste or smell—it’s about protecting long-term health for you and your family. To schedule a free in-home water test, call Water Pro’s at 303-862-5554.

Thursday 1/29/26: Legal Talk with Attorney Kevin Flesch & Your Legacy Your Way with Carolyn Duncan of Duncan Legal

Today’s Guests:
On this episode of Legal Talk, host Scott Whatley sat down with Kevin Flesch of Flesch Law explains why representing yourself after a car accident can create serious and costly setbacks. Kevin begins by pointing out that insurance companies are not neutral parties—they are businesses trained to minimize payouts. When injured drivers handle claims on their own, they often negotiate against experienced adjusters without understanding the strategies being used against them. Kevin highlights that many people dramatically undervalue their case by focusing only on immediate medical bills and vehicle damage, while overlooking future medical care, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and long-term impacts. Once a settlement is signed, those losses cannot be recovered later. The discussion also covers the risks of giving recorded statements, where innocent comments can be taken out of context and used to deny or reduce claims. Kevin explains how gaps in medical treatment, stopping care too early, or seeing the wrong providers can weaken both recovery and compensation. Finally, Kevin warns listeners about strict legal deadlines and procedural rules that can permanently bar a claim if missed. His message is clear: after a car wreck, getting legal guidance early helps protect your rights, reduces stress, and prevents costly mistakes that can follow you long after the accident. Attorney Kevin Flesch of Flesch Law has over 30 years of experience in Denver and throughout the State of Colorado. Kevin Flesch and their attorneys represent personal injury victims and people accused of criminal acts throughout the Denver area. It’s always a free consultation at Flesch Law. Call Kevin today at 303-806-8886 or visit the website at www.fleschlawfirm.com. Got a legal question? You can now TEXT the Flesch Law Line 24/7 with your legal question: 720-201-8585.

On this episode of Your Legacy Your Way, Attorney Carolyn Duncan of Duncan Legal talks about how crucial Estate Planning is and it ensures your assets are distributed as you wish, protects your loved ones by appointing Guardians and Caregivers. It can also minimize taxes and legal fees, and avoids the Probate process. It’s a roadmap for your legacy, ensuring your final wishes are honored and not dictated by the State. For a free half-hour consult, call 303-394-2358. Carolyn says her motto is “Helping People Solves Life’s Puzzles.” Visit www.DuncanLegal.com and get your free Guide Estate Planning Basics”.

Early detection leads to better treatment outcomes, while healthy hearing also reduces stress, fatigue, and isolation—improving overall quality of life.
