Then it’s Your Health Matters brought to you by Integrated Health Systems. In this interview, Dr. Perry Maynard with Integrated Health Systems debunks some of the most common myths about concussions. He explains that loss of consciousness is not required for a concussion, and that it’s dangerous to “shake it off” since a concussion is a true brain injury. Standard imaging like CT or MRI often appears normal, and symptoms may be delayed for hours or days. Helmets don’t prevent concussions, only skull fractures. It’s safe to let someone sleep if medically cleared, and children often take longer to recover. Dr. Maynard stresses that every concussion is serious and requires proper care. Dr. Maynard also explains some of the testing they use at Integrated Health Systems to help diagnose and treat concussions. It’s always a free initial consultation call 303-781-5617.

Then it’s Your Legacy Your Way, with Attorney Carolyn Duncan. Today, Carolyn outlines the 10 most common estate planning challenges that often end up in court. Disputes frequently arise over the validity of wills and trusts, particularly when documents are outdated, improperly executed, or handwritten. Allegations of undue influence and lack of capacity are common when heirs feel someone pressured or exploited the deceased. Poor drafting can create ambiguous language, while disinherited heirs or unequal distributions often spark lawsuits. Other issues include breach of fiduciary duty, improper asset titling, and creditors’ claims. Blended family conflicts and tax or compliance errors further complicate matters. Carolyn emphasized that clear drafting, regular updates, and professional guidance are the best ways to minimize disputes and protect family legacies.

Today’s Guests:
It’s the “Just Try It” Radio Show brought to you by e-Bike of Colorado! Randy Caranci, Owner of e-Bike Of Colorado joins us as the largest retailer in Colorado of E-bikes. On today’s episode, Randy talks about a few of the surprises new EBike owners tell his Staff. New e-bike owners are often surprised to learn that they still pedal with pedal-assist systems, enjoy unexpectedly high speeds (20–28 mph), and discover that range varies greatly with riding style and conditions. Charging is simple, much like plugging in a laptop, and the overall experience is often described as freeing and fun “smiles per mile.” Common misconceptions include the belief that riders don’t get exercise, that e-bikes are just scooters, or that they’re too costly, difficult to maintain, or unsafe. In reality, e-bikes encourage more frequent riding, are similar to regular bikes in maintenance and safety, and offer affordable commuter options. Randy says E-bikes don’t replace traditional biking, they make it more accessible, enjoyable, and sustainable for more people. The store is located at 544 Front St. in Louisville open 10-7 Mon-Sun for your convenience! “Just Try At e-bike Of Colorado their goal is to find you the right bike, not sell you a bike, they found Victoria the “right” e-bike for her riding level.
