Dr. Yu's Mission: To create radical change and true wellness in my patients through functional medicine, unwavering dedication and the destruction of limiting beliefs. Her Story: When she was 38, she discovered a way to reverse the symptoms of her early menopause. You can read the full story here, but the short version is this: standard medical practices, which she calls “factory medicine,” failed her. Doctors couldn't or wouldn't put in the time to help her find out the root cause of her health crisis. They wanted to hand her a bottle of pills and move on. As a doctor, a scientist and a woman, she rejected that. The journey to finding her own cure led her to functional medicine: a personalized, systems-oriented model that empowers the patient to achieve the highest expression of your health by addressing the underlying causes of your problems. She said no to factory medicine, and has created a practice that welcomes her patients to do the same. Discussion Her own journey to overcome her autoimmune condition Different times in a women's lives where their hormones can wreak havoc on her health.

I challenge you to a 21-day complaint-free habit revolution today! more on the complaint-free world at http://www.willbowen.com Listen to the episode with Will at http://www.drjonr.com/podcast/41  

Will Bowen's life has been a quest to understand living. Why, for example, if we all have free will, ambitions, dreams and desires do some of us enjoy health, happiness and prosperity while others struggle their whole lives? Will was born into a family rich with material possessions but desperately poor in love and acceptance. On the outside, things looked good. Inside, however, the family was a swirling vortex of pain, criticism and anger. Will was deeply unhappy and turned to overeating as a coping strategy leaving him morbidly obese as a teenager. At 19, Will set about changing himself and lost over 100 pounds. Graduating college, he went on to an award winning career as a top salesman in media and insurance sales before becoming a Unity Minister in 2003. “The weight that I carried was an external representation of the internal emotional weight I struggled with every day.” Will says, “Becoming thin and even succeeding in business didn't ease the pain I carried inside. It took a purple bracelet that came into my life a few decades later to do that.” In July 2006 Will was teaching a class on prosperity and offered a simple idea of using a purple bracelet for people to monitor their success at breaking the habit of complaining. His idea exploded around the world and more than 11 million purple Complaint Free bracelets have been distributed to people in more than 106 countries. Will's been featured on Oprah, NBC's The Today Show, CBS Sunday Morning, The ABC World News Tonight, Fox & Friends, and in hundreds of TV and radio interviews around the world. Stories about him and the movement he created have been written about in over 200 newspapers as well as People, O magazine, Self and Chicken Soup for the Soul. Today, Will speaks to audiences around the world helping them understand and stop complaining.   Discussion Why do we complain? How can we stop complaining?

Kasper van der Meulen is an author and lifestyle adventurer. He went from being overweight, burnt out and unhappy, to developing superhuman focus, fitness, and personal freedom. He put himself through numerous experiments and challenges. He optimized his lifestyle, conquered the cold, ran ultramarathons on his bare feet, tested countless diets, read a ton of scientific literature and explored as many esoteric practices he could find. With over ten thousand hours of experience in teaching science, self-mastery and innovation, he decided to demystify and methodize these principles in a fun and bite-sized manner. As a final test of his focus, he wrote his book within 30 days, so that he would have to practice everything he preaches.    His book “MindLift - Mental Fitness for the Modern Mind” became an Amazon best seller. Kasper now travels the world on a mission to teach others to be the healthiest, happiest and strongest version of themselves through transformative experiences and down-to-earth scientific understanding. He is the head-teacher of the Wim Hof Method Academy, he runs experiential retreats in extreme nature and he trains elite performers and professional athletes. All while keeping a playful and creative approach to self-optimization.     Discussion Our quality of life determined by the quality of our focus Why attention is the most valuable currency you have.

http://www.thewellness.cafe In this episode, I talk about how you can practice mindfulness while engaging in your favorite hobbies.  Mindfulness practice doesn't have to be formal. Every moment can be an opportunity for mindfulness practice. By anchoring one or two hobbies with mindfulness, and practice them on a regular basis will help with your anxiety, stress, depression, and improve your overall state of mind. It's essentially a practice to be in the present moment, and not lost in thoughts.
