Oil

https://share.google/aimode/oTgIJRXtmgjC5kqIb

Dr. Steven Gundry strongly advocates consuming high-polyphenol extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) daily—up to a liter per week—as a key part of his dietary recommendations to improve heart health, increase energy, and manage weight. While often taken with meals, a nighttime shot of olive oil can help reduce hunger and promote better, uninterrupted sleep. [1, 2, 3]  
Key details regarding Dr. Gundry's advice on olive oil include: 

• High Polyphenol Content: He emphasizes using olive oil with high polyphenol levels (like his Gundry MD brand (https://gundrymd.com/p/polyphenol-rich-olive-oil/)), which are packed with hydroxytyrosol for heart health. 
• Weight Management & Health: Drinking olive oil, particularly before bed, is part of a regimen meant to support a healthy, lean physique, reduce inflammation, and improve digestion. 
• Optimal Usage: He advises incorporating 1 or more tablespoons daily into your diet, suggesting that many people can consume up to a liter a week. 
• What to Look For: He suggests using dark bottles, checking for harvest dates, and looking for a bitter, robust taste, which indicates high polyphenol content. [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]  

While some trends promote a specific "shot" before bed, Dr. Gundry's main, consistent message is to increase overall daily intake of high-quality EVOO, rather than limiting it to a single, strict bedtime ritual. [3, 8]

Chamber members feathering nests

The article from the **National Association of Counties (NACo)**, titled "Moving incentives draw remote workers," highlights how counties are adapting relocation incentive programs to attract remote/teleworking professionals, especially following shifts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The main focus is on **Shawnee County, Kansas** (home to Topeka), which modified its existing **Choose Topeka** incentive program. Originally launched in 2019 by **Go Topeka** (an economic development agency under the Joint Economic Development Organization, or JEDO, funded partly by a county sales tax), the program aimed to help local employers recruit and retain talent. It addressed the issue that about **40%** of Topeka workers earning over $40,000 lived outside Shawnee County.

Post-pandemic adaptations targeted remote workers employed by out-of-area companies:
- Incentives include up to **$10,000** for home purchases or **$5,000** for renting (adjusted from the original employer-shared model of up to $16,000 for purchases/$10,000 for rentals).
- The program remains performance-based, with requirements like proof of full-time remote employment, authorization from the employer, residency validation, an application, and an interview with a JEDO review committee.

The original setup involved shared costs (50/50 between Go Topeka/JEDO and employers), with potential reimbursement for employers if employees stayed beyond one year.

Key context includes national trends: Per the Bureau of Labor Statistics' October jobs report (around the article's timeframe), **21%** (1 in 5) of employed Americans were teleworking due to the pandemic, enabling greater relocation flexibility.

Outcomes for Shawnee County:
- The original program saw strong initial interest (over **4,000** inquiries/resumes at launch).
- After pandemic adaptations (around September onward), it received **40 applications**, with **5** remote workers completing the interview process as an early group.

Benefits emphasized include attracting higher-wage jobs to fill local gaps, boosting the overall economy, and appealing to remote workers with Midwest advantages like lower cost of living and lower COVID-19 infection rates at the time.

Quotes from officials:
- Barbara Stapleton (Go Topeka's VP of Talent Attraction) noted the pandemic's shift in work patterns and the goal of encouraging employees to live in the communities where they contribute.
- Shawnee County Commissioner Kevin Cook (JEDO chair) highlighted the adaptation's success in attracting remote talent to support economic growth and fill otherwise hard-to-fill positions.

Overall, the piece portrays this as a proactive strategy for rural/mid-sized counties to leverage remote work trends for economic development through targeted incentives and public-private partnerships.

(Note: The article appears to date from late 2020, with some NACo site references showing November 19/23, 2020 timestamps, though the content reflects pandemic-era adaptations.)

The re-zoning for the site has been approved.  Following approval of the zoning, the owner's consultant (same consultant as worked on the SE 29th St Pizza Hut) submitted a Site Plan Review application.  We have reviewed that and sent comments to the consultant but the Site Plan has not yet been fully approved.  Our engineering staff are reviewing Pizza Hut's traffic study now.

Henry - thanks again for your time today on the phone! I am excited to get going on our partnership. You should see the DocuSign Agreement come thru shortly after this, if you have any questions or want to discuss it further let me know. Below are one-pagers on each of the incentives I mentioned on the call today Cost Segregation, 179D, and 45L. Don't forget to send me your logo so I can get my marketing team working on the co-branded version of this one pager too.

 

  • 179D - a per sqft tax deduction on the building, claimed by looking at the Lighting, HVAC, and Building Envelope
  • 45L - a per unit tax credit, claimed by looking at the Lighting, HVAC, and Building Envelope
  • Cost Segregation - a tax optimization strategy helping owners deduct 15-30% of their building

 

Did you ever get a hold of Rick? After our call I spoke to our experts, and they said fitness centers are ideal for both 179D and Cost Segregation. The easiest way to identify the value of what Rick might have tied up in his properties is to set-up 15 minutes with our experts, to let them explain the best path of viability if there is one. If there isn't a path for viability, we will let them know, and this gives them the chance to educate on what would better qualify as well.

 

Can you send me more information how we can get going with blog posts and other social media content? Really looking forward to the opportunities that lie ahead!

 

All the best,
Patrick
