It’s Not the Tariffs… It’s the Tariff Whiplash

Increased tariffs pose one challenge for business but increasingly, it's the chaos of constantly shifting tariffs that one business expert says is becoming the bigger problem.  Businesses struggle in chaos and with over 50 tariff changes since January, including new proposals on EU and Apple products, companies are facing a new kind of crisis: policy whiplash.

Rita McGrath, Columbia Business School professor and one of the world’s top experts on strategy and uncertainty, is available to break it down. She’ll explain how the speed and unpredictability of shifting tariffs are now doing more damage than the tariffs themselves—shaking supply chains, clouding strategic decisions, and hitting consumers in hidden ways.

The Menopause-Pain Link No One Talks About

This International Women’s Health Day (May 28), spotlight a hidden health issue affecting millions of midlife women: spine pain triggered by menopause. Hormone shifts can silently weaken bones, dry out spinal discs, and supercharge pain sensitivity—yet most women have no idea their back and neck pain is linked to estrogen loss.

Dr. Colin Haines, spine surgeon at VSI, is available for interviews to break down the science in clear, visual ways—plus, how women can protect their spines with simple, non-hormonal strategies.
