Podcast appearances and mentions of dan nevins

Could you make the decision to remove your own leg. What if you'd already lost the other and taking the second meant starting over? For the final episode of the 2023 NYC Veterans Day Parade, Fran Racioppi and Psychotherapist Drew Newkirk were joined by Dan Nevins and Lana Duffy; two Army soldiers who were faced with one of life's toughest decisions. Dan nearly lost his life in an IED explosion in Iraq, now after losing his legs, he shares how Yoga and Wounded Warrior Project saved him from depression, substance abuse and suicide. Lana suffered for years with an undiagnosed brain injury that prevented her physical recovery; today she's the parades honorary Grand Marshal explaining how to navigate NYC's culture of beauty and perfection with a body that doesn't look like everyone else. Life is full of difficult decisions and most often the toughest decisions are thrust upon us. Are you ready to take action and do something when most are unwilling?

Take a deeper dive and listen to our inspiring episode with Disabled Veteran (double amputee) and yoga teacher Dan Nevins: https://pod.fo/e/f7a90

Last week was Veterans' Day, and for some individuals in the armed service, that means reflecting back on their service, as well as the potential cause of their cancer. For both print and web-first features, CURE® spoke with veterans about their cancer journeys, including one Iraq veteran whose cancer was likely caused by exposure during his deployment overseas.  Regarding new drug indications last week, the FDA seemed to be working in the gastrointestinal space: we saw a new drug approved for certain patients with colorectal cancer, and other indication in the gastric cancer space slightly changed from the way it was originally approved a few years ago.  Finally, it is the open enrollment period for people who are eligible for Medicare. We heard from an expert at City of Hope about why patients with cancer should do their research before choosing a plan.  Veteran, Colon Cancer Survivor Explains Importance of PACT Act  Last year, President Joe Biden signed the bipartisan Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act into law last year, with the White House calling it “the most significant expansion of benefits and services for toxic exposed veterans in more than 30 years.” More than 4.1 million veterans received free toxic exposure screenings through the VA, with the government processing nearly half a million PACT Act claims and delivering more than $1.85 billion in PACT Act-related benefits to veterans and survivors, including $215 million in benefits to veterans with cancer, during the first year of the PACT Act, the White House stated. Under the PACT Act, for example, all gastrointestinal cancers are considered toxic exposure presumptive conditions — meaning veterans do not have to prove that the cancer started during or worsened because of their military service — for veterans from the Gulf War and post-9/11 eras such as Dan Nevins, a U.S. Army Reserve veteran and stage 3 colon cancer survivor who served in Iraq.

Spoke with us about his experiences being exposed to burn pits in Iraq. FDA Approves Fruzaqla for Previously Treated Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Last week came with another Food and Drug Administration approval in the oncology space. Fruzaqla for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer that has been previously treated with certain chemotherapy drugs, anti-VEGF therapies, and — if the patient has RAS wildtype disease and its medically appropriate — an anti-EGFR therapy.  The approval, which was announced on Wednesday night, was based on findings from two clinical trials: FRESCO and FRESCO-2, which both showed that Fruzaqla improved overall survival (time from treatment until death of any cause) compared to placebo in this patient population.  Of note, Fruzaqla is an oral drug that is not a chemotherapy agent, which may help patients avoid an abundance of clinics for treatment, as well as some of the side effects associated with chemotherapy, though we should note that Fruzaqla, like all drugs, does have its own set of potential side effects.  FDA Amends Keytruda Approval for Gastric, GEJ Cancer Also on the FDA front, the agency announced on Thursday that it was revising the approval indication of Keytruda plus Enhertu and chemotherapy for the frontline treatment of locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.  The Keytruda-containing regimen was originally approved in May 2021 and was for patients regardless of their cancer's PD-L1 status. PD-L1 is a protein found on the surface of tumor cells and acts as a kind of cloak of invisibility from the immune system. Checkpoint inhibitor drugs like Keytruda inhibit the function of PD-L1, thereby allowing the immune system to find and fight the cancer. With the amended approval, the FDA is now stating that this Keytruda regimen should only be used in patients whose cancers have that PD-L1 protein, as determined by a companion diagnostic test.  This change came after follow-up data from the KEYNOTE-811 trial were presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology Congress a couple of weeks ago. The findings showed that while the Keytruda plus Enhertu and chemotherapy improved outcomes over placebo plus Enhertu and chemotherapy, the benefit was particularly better for those whose disease was PD-L1 positive.  When It Comes to Cancer Care, Not All Medicare Plans Are the Same The Medicare open enrollment period has officially begun and will run until Dec. 7.  In a CURE® exclusive article penned by Dr. Harlan Levine of the City of Hope, a popular type of Medicare — Medicare Advantage — is outlined, along with their potential pros and cons when facing a cancer diagnosis. For example, did you know what while Medicare Advantage tends to be a more affordable option, it may not cover research medical centers that provide patients with cancer access to advanced treatments and clinical trials?  Dr. Levine and others are advocating for Medicare Advantage to cover treatment at comprehensive cancer centers, but until then, he warns individuals to be weary of the plans that they choose and always read the fine print.   For more news on cancer updates, research and education, don't forget to subscribe to CURE®'s newsletters here.

"Invite a veteran to yoga because you just might save their life." This powerful message is one that Dan Nevins, a highly decorated soldier, promotes as a public speaker and yoga teacher. Dan lost both legs below the knee and lives with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the emotional wounds of war. When Dan discovered the transformational power of yoga, he found healing from the invisible wounds of war in a way that he hadn't before. As a yoga teacher himself, Dan encourages people from all walks of life, especially veterans, to take up the practice.

Ever met someone and instantly thought, "Yup, we're destined to be yoga BFFs?"    That's how I felt back in April 2019 when I attended the Baptiste Institute's Assisting Course in San Francisco, led by the amazing Melissa Leach!   Melissa is not only a total bad@$$ yoga teacher but also down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and highly experienced in her understanding of yoga, functional anatomy, trauma, and mental health.   During that course, she introduced me to the world of assists in teaching yoga – a game-changing approach that focuses on co-creation between student and teacher, rather than just correcting or adjusting.   Fast forward to today, and I'm thrilled to share that Melissa is joining me on this week's episode of the Luminous Recovery Yoga Podcast!

Let's chat about that diagnosis!! Is it the end of your life if you receive BAD news? Will you be bitter and angry? Will you obsess over your old life month after month or year after year leaving you paralyzed to move forward? OR will you choose to see this new chapter of your beautiful life as an OPPORTUNITY to go & do something very different than what you thought was the plan? Dan Nevins is a true inspiration to anyone who struggles in fear & doubt. He never let the unwelcome challenges of his life bury him in a hole he couldn't see out. From growing up as a kid in Baltimore

Veteran, speaker, cancer survivor and Baptiste Yoga teacher Dan Nevins speaks with me about agency, gratitude and courage. Dan Nevins has led an extensive career with the United States Army National Guard. His job was put on hold in February 2004 when Dan deployed to Balad, Iraq, as a squad leader. Later that year, an improvised explosive device (IED) detonated beneath his vehicle, resulting in a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and led to the amputation of both of his legs. In 2009, Dan decided to join the WWP team, serving in several key positions within the organization, but most recently as director of the Warriors Speak® team. Dan embarked on a new career path as a certified yoga instructor in order to share the practice with fellow service members and civilians. Today, Dan continues to serve his fellow injured warriors, and the mission of WWP, by traveling the country to share his story, his personal accomplishments, and his passion for yoga. Dan recently overcame a serious battle with colon cancer and shares his story of resilience, agency and gratitude.   Find out more about Dan on instagram @dannevins     This episode is brought to you by The Sovereign, my unique membership experience that helps us move us forward in a world gone wild.

Dan Nevins is a soldier and war hero. In 2004, an explosion took the life of his dear friend and changed him forever while serving in Iraq. After losing his legs, he entered a two-year journey, 36 surgeries, learning to walk again and learned that the wounds of war are far greater than physical wounds. He remembers vividly being met at his bedside by an organization, Wounded Warrior Project — a nonprofit organization in Jacksonville, Florida, that poured hope into Dan in a way that he did not know at the time. During a time in 2013, Dan had eight weeks at home alone and struggled immensely. A friend introduced him to meditation and ultimately, the physical practice of yoga. Quick to say he laughed at the idea and struggled through it, Dan had physical and mental breakthroughs unlike anything he's ever experienced because of yoga practice. Today, he believes in the healing and restoration that yoga and meditation provide anyone suffering; and particularly vets. He speaks his truth, "bring a vet to yoga; you might just save his life," every chance he gets. Now, as an internationally recognized speaker and yoga teacher, Dan shares today what's most important. His life as a dad, soon-to-be husband, working on his vision for his wedding day, what he wants and coming home to claim these things has him present and awake to what matters right now. Heartfelt and inspiring, Dan lives a life of service and shares in this episode what it's like to look downstream and take action from creating and managing your own life. In this conversation you'll hear:What happens when you forgive and look forwardWhy choice brings us to repeat the past or create the futureWhat a life of joy can be in the midst of challengesWhat results from listening, patience, and loveHow our story is always unfolding. Keep creating it. Resources:One Creative Act's Instagram: @onecreativeactMary Lyn Jenkin's Instagram: @marylynbigfishBig Fish Co.'s Instagram: @livebigfishcoBig Fish Co.'s Website: livebigfishco.com Dan Nevin's Instagram: @dannevinsDan Nevin's Website: dannevins.com Wounded Warrior Project's Website: woundedwarriorproject.orgWounded Warrior Project's Instagram: @wwp

So excited to have Dan Nevins share his incredibly powerful story of how he came to not only practice, but teach Yoga! A highly decorated soldier, Dan was severely injured during combat in Iraq in 2004 after an improvised explosive device (IED) detonated beneath his vehicle. He lost both legs below the knee, and lives with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the emotional wounds of war. Dan discovered the life-changing power of yoga, which has enabled him to heal from the invisible wounds of war in a way that nothing else could. He quickly realized that other wounded warriors could benefit from yoga in the same way and knew he had to become an instructor. Dan became a Baptiste Yoga teacher in 2015, and now incorporates the notion of “yoga for every-body” into his speeches and classes, encouraging people from all walks of life – and veterans in particular – to take up the practice.

In 2004, after an explosion in Iraq, Dan Nevins would ultimate lose both his legs. And in today's pod, Dan will not only tell you this story - but also about his life, before and after. Including how he was introduced to yoga which, as he will tell you, saved him during a particularly dark time. (Though to say he was a reluctant participant is an understatement!) Besides being a veteran and yoga teacher, Dan is a master storyteller. He had Meghan and me in tears - both laughing and crying. Sometimes, both - at the same time. His story is emotional and inspirational. It's a story of resilience ... of relationship ... and of purpose.

American veteran and highly decorated soldier Dan Nevins is a professional speaker who for over a decade has shared an inspirational message of leadership, perseverance, resilience and overcoming adversity with audiences around the globe. His work with professional and business communities enables his passion of sharing and teaching yoga to the world. At one time Dan was horrified to think that he would ever become a Yoga teacher, because the image he had of Yoga didn't fit at all with the image he had for himself.  After having a life changing experience his third time on the mat, he began to realize that yoga and mindfulness meditation help people powerfully return to their bodies and heal themselves definitively from the inside out. He says that many people get disconnected from their body.  Yoga helps change the chemicals in the body and reconnect people with their personal power and each other.  Dan explains that for him Yoga is a petri dish for his life, teaching him how to slow down, connect, belong and push through all of his limitations. Now, he lives in creation of his life moment to moment rather than in reaction to his life.  Ironically self love has a boomerang effect.  Dan explains, “What happens if I'm kind to myself? I can actually demonstrate kindness for others much more easily. And what happens when I feel compassion for myself? Then I can find compassion for other people that I might not see eye to eye with.” Listen in to this powerful interview about how Yoga can transform our lives.  More From Dan Nevins Official Website: www.dannevins.com Warrior Spirit Retreat Linkedin @dannevins Twitter @dannevins  Facebook @WarriorSpiritRetreat @thedannevins YouTube @WoundedWarriorProject Instagram @dannevins @warriorspiritretreat

We’re mixing things up on this episode to dish out some serious realness, openness, and honesty. Brian Cristiano is the founder and CEO of BOLD Worldwide, a sports advertising agency in New York City. He’s also my husband, so on this episode, Brian and I take turns asking each other “anything we want.” This hour was totally unscripted and it gets a little deeper than I had anticipated. The topics ended up ranging from where we see ourselves in 10 or 20 years to the things that make us happiest in life, our hopes for our future children, and the people who have had the most profound impacts on our lives. Plus, Brian talks about his father’s unexpected death and how it affected his outlook on life, and shares some really valuable career and life advice.

We speak with Dan Nevins about growing up in Maryland, joining the Army and his time in the reserves, how yoga changed his life as well as becoming a yoga instructor and creating Warrior Spirit Retreat. If you know Dan, Yaya and Big Jeff you know they like to have fun and laugh which they do this episode, but the conversation gets very real and the topics discussed are very important. From not knowing how he would go on laying in a hospital bed after losing both his legs overseas to yoga being a big tool in releasing the past and saving others, this is an emotional and inspirational episode.

Dan Nevins, Army Veteran, survived an IED blast in Iraq but suffered a TBI and lost both legs. He had 36 surgeries and yoga with meditation became critical to recovery. Listen to how he chose happiness over being miserable.

Dan Nevins (@DanNevins on twitter) returns to discuss yoga with host Craig Price. Past guest (episode 97) Dan sits down with Craig in Washington DC for what Craig thought would be an informative chat about yoga but became an emotional story of coping with depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and discovery.  Being a popular speaker for the Wounded Warrior Project, Dan was afraid to ask anyone for help when he started to get depressed because so many saw him as a role model of recovery and perseverance.  It can be hard to ask for help because just showing a crack of your humanity to others can make them think you're really in trouble when in fact, you just need someone to listen. Thankfully Dan found yoga and it has transformed his life and has shown him new ways to heal, get over his own doubts and shame and help his fellow soldiers deal with their PTSD. Of course Craig can't be all serious so they discuss downward dog, passing gas in class and more. He even commits to a yoga class with Dan! An unexpectedly touching, emotional and real conversation with a person who has normal struggles just like the rest of us despite his inspiring story and life. A can't miss episode for sure. SPECIAL EVENT: This August 20th, 2015 at 6pm EST, join Dan in Bryant Park in New York City as he attempts to break the record for the world's largest yoga class. Go to http://flavorpill.com/nyc/event/classes/bryant-park-yoga-thursday-august-20-2015 to RSVP for this FREE class.

Dan Nevins (@DanNevins on twitter) joins host Craig Price to discuss his amazing story and the Wounded Warrior Project.  Dan talks about how he lost his legs while serving in Iraq and his struggles to cope and adjust. Thankfully, the Wounded Warrior Project was there to offer a helping hand, bringing a bit of normalcy to utterly abnormal situation. The two discuss how the Project helps not only the physically injured but the vets who return with the  invisible scars of combat stress (a.k.a. PTSD). Craig also struggles through the interview as the overwhelming reality of the topic makes being a smart ass almost impossible (but Craig finds a way!).  It is an awe inspiring episode that really can't be missed!  The Wounded Warrior Project's mission is to to raise awareness and enlist the public's aid for the needs of injured service members, to help injured service members aid and assist each other and to provide unique, direct programs and services to meet the needs of injured service members. Please visit http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/ to learn more about this amazing organization and how you can help returning servicemen and women get the help they deserve.
