Cancer:  a word of many emotions which you are supposed to navigate yourself if you are ever to get to the other side, remission.  What just happened in the diagnosis, what should I expect for the process of trying to get through this, what support will I need and how will I keep it all together? These are just a few of the questions that will be running through your head if you are diagnosed with cancer.  No matter who you are, how old you are, famous, poor, single, large family, professional or what ever, the process is still devastating.  My guest, Lynda Peterson, is the author of 'The Healing Journal' which she designed to help her through her own Lymphoma diagnosis.  The Journal contains many areas to record your story, keep important information together and places to write your questions so you will understand what is happening.  As Lynda speaks to us on the show, her passion and sadness can be felt in sharing what helped her and what scared her along the way. Join us and perhaps you may hear some comp

Have you ever heard the words "But he did...but she needs to... but they owe... "  Or, have you used these words in the last week?  Can you own up to it?  Is there a chain that is binding you from living a happy life?  Betrayal?  What?  Not me? My guest is Holli Kenley, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and author of the book we will be talking about today Breaking Through Betrayal:  And Recovering the Peace Within.  Holli reaches others who have been scarred by a myriad of life's betrayals by helping them validate their feelings and experiences.  Her book is a template to work through the process of releasing betrayal and moving on. If you have ever been betrayed or rather still you have betrayed others; this is going to be an interesting show.  Holli will talk about how to bring forth the truth in life, how to recognize what can be shifted and allow you to find a space of life that will be healthier in judgment and actions.

Does your body hurt?  Do you have any idea where your chronic pain may be coming from or rather what may be contributing to it?  If you are hurting, the first place to go is the Dr. and tell your story, get tests, a prescription and sometimes rehabilitation.  Are you all better now? Medications help with pain, tests sometimes don't say much and after stretching and exercising for a few weeks, you are back with chronic pain that can sideline you for days to years. My guest today is Dr. William Charschan aka 'the body mechanic'.  He is a Chiropractor in New Jersey and the author of the book we will be talking about today 'Cheating Mother Nature'.  Dr. William believes that everything your body screams at you may be related to how your body 'swings' or as he calls it 'gait'.  Remember, we are, as I call it, a 'bag of bones, muscles, fluids and soul'.  Think of the body as a balloon, it is held together in a package and when one thing is out of place, the whole system is shifted to compensate. If you are an athle

Is the possibility of overcoming lung cancer a reality or a dream?  Is it a possibility that may work for others?  What if?  Why not?  Listen. My guest today is Carl O'Helvie, who has overcome lung cancer being told he had only 6 months to live.  He has written a book:  You Can Beat Lung Cancer:  Using Alternative/Integrative Interventions which clearly outlines his experience.  But wait, think that he just did this on a fluke?  No, he had that diagnosis 38 years ago.  His health has been maintained by the therapies he uses to this day. If you are facing a challenge in health, it does not have to be cancer, but either way, there are simple things you can add to your daily life to improve your health.  With all the environmental and food changes it may not be a good idea to wait until the C word hits you and be proactive now.  Carl will be sharing all his hits and misses on his path to being well all these decades.  It does not have to be a death sentence with a severe illness and we welcome your questions dur

How are you supporting your mental health condition, with micronutrients or high power drugs?  Do you think there may be a better way than drugging you to overload?  Can your children be helped with something other than drugs or special classes at school?  Is a mental health condition always considered a handicap or can it just be called 'the body asking for nutrients'?A must listen for all brain and mental health concerns, help is available.  Call in, ask.  Get help today.  Even if you are on drugs, need drugs and cannot get them, do have a diagnosis, don't know what is wrong with you, or you have been searching the web for answers to your anxiety, panic, ADD, Depression or even bipolar I and II; this show is for you.  Tune in to hear cutting edge talk about supplying the brain with nutrients to stop the 'chatter' that is disorganized in your mind.  Time to step out of the labels and drug stupor and live life to the fullest, in tune and happy. My guest today, Anthony Stephan of Truehope Nutritional Support,

Do you have a chronic illness or cancer and your body is tired?  Have you lost the energy of each day?  Are you able to absorb the nutrients that you need to support daily bodily functions?  Has your quality of life taken a dive and you feel like you are sinking minute to minute?  Illness, medication and the need to repair the body sucks the life out of the food and nutrients you put into it.  At times it can seem like no matter what you do, it never is enough to raise your energy or improve your daily life.  My guest today, Al Sanchez, CEO of AMARC, will be speaking to us about their top product, Poly-MVA.  It is a uniquely-formulated combination of minerals, vitamins and amino acids designed to support cellular energy production and promote overall health.  Poly-MVA also replaces specific nutrients than may be depleted during certain therapies.  We know that foods give us the best source of nutrients but in many significant health conditions, the body simply cannot take in enough nutrients and in a few inst

Life is changing rapidly these days and it really seems hard but even thinking about suicide is not the answer.  There are people all around you who can help, to talk and support you, even if it seems like that may not be true.  Family members, if there is talk of suicide in your home, it is time to get help, not tomorrow or next week or after a vacation, NOW!  The conversation must be of help, support and action.  This is not a gray area, it is black and white.  Action is required. What happens to a family when the talk of suicide is hushed, not noticed or tabooed?  It happens. My guest today, Carl David, is familiar with suicide, his brother took his life when he was young.  Carl, now, decades later, has committed to speaking to anyone who will listen about the effects of suicide on a family.  He will be sharing how he carried the event with him all his adult life. Carl is the author of  Bader Field; How my family survived Suicide.  It is his life as it unfolded since losing his brother. Yes, life is hard,

What are you calling healthcare right now, no matter what economic level you are at?  Rich, poor, government subsidized, no insurance, small business, large corporation; all are affected.  Are you believing everyone will have coverage and it won't be on my dime anymore?  Think again.  Do you believe that you will go to a hospital and get top notch good care when you need it with no questions asked?  You are not reading between the lines, you are not listening to the back talk, you do not realize what you will be in for. This is not a political bashing show; this is a coming to realize what healthcare is now and what it may potentially be in a matter of months.  Are you ready?  What should you be doing?  Moving; to another state or out of the country? My guest, Dr. Lawrence Gelman, who is one of the leading experts in healthcare today.  As CEO of a major hospital in South Texas, Dr. Gelman is charged with the responsibility of delivering the highest quality of medical care even in the environment of Obama care

The good:  the rewards of small business ownership, fulfillment of a dream and reaching financial freedom.

What is domestic abuse and why should you care?  If you are not a victim, chances are, you know someone who is being abused in their home and no one is talking.  If you are being abused, guaranteed, you are not talking.  Do you really think this is something to shout to the rooftops and share with your giggly girl friends?  Really?  Talking to other family members, NOT!  Domestic abuse takes on an undercover stealth like a snake in the grass.  You run through it and hope it does not get  you while denying that it is even there.  The holidays seem to increase the potential of abuse in all forms around the holidays.  My guest today is Amy Sherman.  She has a master's degree in counseling/psychology, the Director of Mental Health Services at the Toby Center for Family Transitions and offers coaching services. Raising of the hand, raising the voice, pushing and shoving, throwing, kicking, and other actions can be forms of abuse that escalate and harm people to their core.  Do not participate in performing these a

How many parents think it is cute or a great time to give a pet for Christmas but never consider about SpayFIRST!.  Was this suggested to you but cost or time stopped you short of being a responsible pet owner?  Do you know the risks of pet over population? As we see the cute dogs and cats at the mall pet store, who could resist the fluffy feel of their coat and the way they cuddle and lick you.  The small size and quiet squeak seem to be like a drug to those looking for companionship or wanting to add sweetness to their lives.  Is anyone thinking past the initial emotional eye candy being presented in front of them for purchase? My guest today is Ruth Steinberger, Founder of SpayFirst!.  She is a highly-respected animal advocate who has coordinated rural pet sterilization programs since 1993.  Her goal is to share her knowledge of prevention (spay/neuter), education and legal protection to protect animals by developing support programs across the country.  We will be talking today about why it is so importan

Everyone can be affected if there is a divorce in the family and holidays take on a new challenge of dealing with the aftermath of a family split.  No matter if the divorce is new or old news, every year seems to bring turmoil if you have not ironed out your feelings of loss, grief, guilt, pain, separation, loneliness or anger.  How will you handle the holidays this year?  Are you going to take hostages this December?  You feel like you are entitled to having the kids, hosting the party, giving big gifts or claiming the 'family dinner at noon' and disappointment is going to be had by someone.  Pulling out all the guns; the pictures, the credit cards, the presents, and the tears hoping for a 'photo-op' fit to remember for years and notch on your totem pole.  My guest, Rosalind Sedacca, is a Parenting Coach, advisor at ParentalWisdom.com and on the Board of Directors of the Toby Center for Family Transitions.  She is the expert when it comes to relationships in many stages of our lives.  Her knowledge is perfec

Are all your electronics being carried around in bags, book bags, purses, clutches, duffel bags and brief cases?  What do you do with those bags when you sit down at a location to eat or use those electronics?  You put them on the floor?  All those germs?  Really?  You never know what is on the ground these days and who walked on that floor.  What germs are going around these days?  Are you bringing them home with you and sharing them with your family?  Wondering why everyone is getting sick and you can't break that chain? My guest today is Trish Sweeney of Clipa, a product to hold bags on doors, tables and other surfaces to keep them off the floor.  It is also the only major purse hook brand manufacturing in America, meaning also no mystery metals.  Time to think about how you are contributing to your ill health by not taking steps to reducing your germ load.  This is a very important item and everyone can use one.  Here is the site for the product.  Listen to the show for the special.

A busy weekend, the flu, the holiday season or just 'too much to do and not enough time' seem like your excuse for the fatigue that is bringing you to your knees?  Does it seem like fatigue is an everyday word for you?  Why?  Tired is one thing, crashing fatigue is another.  How do you raise up and have energy again? Life is just not sunshine and lollipops as many of us have grown up to believe.  The economy, work pressures, family mechanics, significant health concerns and natural earth events are bringing people to their knees in the past few decades.  Stress is no longer just a time of too much to do in a day and fatigue is not something that is cleared up after a romantic vacation. My guest, Dr. Linda Clever, Clinical Professor of Medicine at UCSF and author of The Fatigue Prescription:  Four Steps to Renewing your Energy, Health and Life, will share her experience with the deep toll fatigue took on her life.  While there are many books out there saying everyone is tired and get sleep, Dr. Clever's book i
