While dietary supplements and herbs have many significant health benefits, all products are not created equal. Many active ingredients are destroyed and not absorbed after consumption. In this episode, Mika interviews the award-winning chemist, Dr. Emek Blair as he explains how his Cellg8 patented liposomal delivery technology is raising the bar to transform the way dietary and medicinal products are produced and the rate at which they are absorbed. Dr. Blair shares with us how he has applied this technology to the world of CBD using a solventless, CO2 extraction producing a full spectrum CBD product taken from the ariel parts of the Hemp plant.
Dr. Emek Blair is the founder and developer of CELLg8®, a patented all-natural liposomal manufacturing process which more plainly spoken is a nutrient delivery system that has been shown to dramatically increase absorption of most vitamins, minerals, herbs, and cannabinoids. CELLg8 technology has been shown to dramatically increase the absorption of nutrient actives - up to 20x higher than regular supplements and 10x higher than any other formula on the market. Dr. Blair has been published in five medical journals including The American Journal of Endocannabinoid Medicine and The Journal of the American Chemical Society and has formulated upwards of 100 unique liposomal formulas that have successfully been brought to market by some of the largest brands in the world.

In this episode of CONNECTED with Mika:
Navigating Through the Ins and Outs of Special Needs Trust Planning – (Part Two)
Don’t let what you don’t know about special needs trusts, derail your loved one’s financial future.
In this two-part series, Mika speaks with Haley D. Greer, J.D., The Arc of Texas’s Director of The Master Pooled Trust. In the first episode we discuss why a person with disabilities will most likely need a Special Needs Trust, how many types of trust are there and which one to use.
Founded in 1950 by a group of parents of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, The Arc of Texas has been instrumental in the creation of virtually every program, service, right, and benefit that is now available to more than half a million Texans with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Today, The Arc of Texas continues to advocate for the human rights and self-determination of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in all aspects of society.
One of the services The Arc of Texas offers is a Master Pooled Trust. A Mastered Pooled Trust is a pooled special needs trust managed by The Arc of Texas with approval from the Social Security Administration and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. The goal of the Master Pooled Trust is to provide financial security to all people with disabilities, and thus a higher quality of life, knowing that their public benefits are safeguarded.
The Master Pooled Trust was designed with lower fees and low minimum deposits. The low fees for establishing and maintaining a sub-account are attractive to families and beneficiaries, compared to a traditional bank trust. There are low minimum and no maximum limits on an account with the Master Pooled Trust. The Arc of Texas also knows and understands the issues families with disabilities face so we make accessing the money an easy process.

In this episode Mika interviews Shelley Hendrix-McLaughlin, a mother, business professional and autism advocate.
Shelley shares her story of how Liam, her son, was diagnosed with autism at the age of two in 1998, then being told his future looked bleak at best. Since that diagnosis, Shelley has become a leader in the autism community, organizing grassroots rallies across the country and teaching autism community members how to get involved in positive policy change. Hear Liams story of victory in overcoming significant odds, how he graduated high school, became and Eagle Scout and ultimately secured employment and has worked for McDonalds since 2012 and is saving his money to open his own bakery one day.
Shelley served as the National Director of Grassroots Development for Autism Speaks for 9 years, Shelley directed grassroots engagement and strategy, contributing to the passage of over 90 laws in 46 states to help people with autism access medically necessary healthcare treatments, as well as services to improve independent living opportunities. Since 2005, working with Autism Speaks and other organizations, Shelley assisted in passing six federal laws which secured over $6 Billion in research funding, created an Autism Research Program within the United States Department of Defense and established of a mechanism allowing parents to save money for their child’s adult expenditures in tax-free savings accounts.
Since the program’s inception in 2007, Shelley has served as a consumer member of the Integrative Panel for the U.S. Department of Defense Autism Spectrum Disorder Research Program for Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs. This program funds and develops innovative strategies in autism research with a vision goal of helping people impacted with autism now. Over $90 Million in research grants have been funded through this program to date.
Prior to her work with Autism Speaks, Shelley founded Unlocking Autism in February 1999. This internationally recognized organization seeks to develop local solutions for families living with ASD that feed up into a national strategy. The innovation of Unlocking Autism, and ability to move quickly especially in crisis situations, has set this organization apart.
In 2015, Shelley founded Different Beat Consultants, which concentrates on building strategies to address the autism epidemic by connecting products, government entities and families living with autism. DBC is working to address multiple systemic societal issues ranging from improving physical and mental health of those living with ASD, to accessing early intervention services, adult housing and transition services and job training in new and innovative ways. One of DBC’s primary goals is to find a way to bring solutions to the community in the most efficacious and cost effective manner possible and has focused efforts on the poorest states in our country with the least resources.
In 2005, Spectrum Publications named Shelley “Person of the Year” for her work within the national autism community and in 2006 she was named one of the Top 10 Faces of Autism by the same publication. Shelley graduated from McKinley High School then pursued a Bachelors of Arts degree from Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, MA with a double major in political science and art history. She is the mother of Liam and Mairin Reynolds who both equally fuel her passions to make the world a better place for those who live with ASD.
