It is time for Rob and Beth's weekly check-up with their favorite doctor, Dr. John Hayes, Jr., MD!
On this week's Living and Practicing by Design, the Doctor wanted to discuss the correlation between pain and food. Some foods - the tastiest ones, it unfortunately seems - can raise inflammation levels in our bodies and that can cause more pain. There are many ways we can mitigate these impacts and the Doctor brings us through it. Click here to read the full blog post and listen to the segment Living and Practicing by Design:

This week's Tech Talk is an especially important one because it confirms what we have ALL been wondering: our phones are listening to us. David Snell of Act Smart I.T. in Wareham has let us know it is actually MORE than just listening: it's something called Ultrasonic Cross-Device Tracking.
Here is how David defines it:
Ultrasonic cross-device tracking refers to a method of tracking users across multiple devices by leveraging ultrasonic signals, typically transmitted through the air. This technology can be used to link a user’s activity on one device, like a mobile phone, with their activities on another device, like a smart TV, based on proximity.
This definitely had Rob and Beth thinking of all the close encounters they've had with advertising popping up on their phone that has no explanation. Listen in to this important discussion below and click here to read David's full blog post:
