On this episode of Talk About It, we break out the Gold Jacket to chat with Alan Faneca, retired NFL offensive lineman and NFL Hall of Fame Inductee! Alan and Greg have become friends through advocacy for epilepsy awareness over the years, because Alan was diagnosed with epilepsy when he was a teenager and played at the highest levels of football with the condition. He also has a daughter with a rare form of epilepsy, so this cause is really close to his heart. Ironically, Nick also has a connection to Alan through his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers and hosting events together, so this is really a friend reunion show! They discuss his diagnosis, how his family helps him deal with the condition, going through the process again with his daughter, and - of course - his induction into the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, OH. This is an episode that you are seriously not going to want to miss! The Talk About It podcast is excited to be sponsored in part by Neurelis.

In V.E. Shwab's bestselling novel, A Conjuring of Light, she wrote, "Kings need not raise their voices to be heard." But on this episode of Talk About It, Greg talks to a King who is being heard not by raising his voice, but by writing a book of his own! That book is called Be There When I Return, and it is out NOW everywhere books are sold. Michael King seemed to have everything going his way as a young bartender in 1980's Los Angeles until his friends began to notice a bizarre quirk in his behavior, but he is not aware of it happening. After the closest people in his life convince him to see a doctor, he is hit with the reality of an epilepsy diagnosis and drags through years of not being able to control his seizures. He ends up becoming a candidate for an experimental surgery, but his family doesn't know if he will remember them when he wakes up.

March is Epilepsy Queensland’s annual fundraising and awareness month. CEO of Epilepsy Queensland, Sandi Rodiger, told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive, "Epilepsy affects far more people than what is probably known. We say roughly 1 in 25 people will be diagnosed with epilepsy in their lifetime, and that's roughly about 270,000 people in Australia currently living with epilepsy and around 40 odd thousand in Queensland, so it is very prevalent." Mum of a young athlete who has epilepsy, Natalie Sandow added, "Aamira did not allow epilepsy to stand in her way at all." "Once she got the clearance, she just went full force on that sporting field. She has, focal seizures, so she has awareness when she has seizures and is quite capable to play her sports because of that," Ms Sandow continued.

This month on Talk About It, we are cooling off the summer heat with some refreshing and delicious lemonade! Greg hosts three different interviews with people who are taking the sourest of lemons that life hands them and squeezing out incredible creative initiatives that make the world a much, MUCH better place. Up first is Landis Wiedner who developed epilepsy after a traumatic brain surgery to remove a tumor. She was disrupted by this sudden change in her adult life and realized that there weren't enough resources to help her deal with the struggles of "adulting" with epilepsy, so she started a podcast! The What the EF Podcast she started has now been on for five seasons and aims to be an outlet for those everyday conversations that aren't as accessible for adults in her situation. Way to go Landis! Then, Greg has some very special guests to the studio - his son Jake's girlfriend Morgan, and her incredible mom Karen and brother Kyle! Kyle was born with cerebral palsy, but Karen never let his condition affect his ability to play sports and enjoy recreational activities. In fact, she came on board the AYSO VIP Program for kids and helped to expand it to now host hundreds of special needs participants, from 4-year-olds to 40-year-olds! From basketball to soccer, Karen is leading the way to establish communities and provide a safe environment for individuals like Kyle to learn and grow through playing sports. Greg and Nick headed out to watch the basketball program in action, and we get a full recap of how incredible that experience was that is sure to pull on your heart strings! Finally, Greg talks with Sue Seserman, a writer and new author that harnesses her conditions and turns them into superpowers! Sue has epilepsy and type 1 diabetes, and has such a brilliant creative vision on how to use them for good. She has now released her new graphic novel Epilectra that centers around a woman who becomes a superhero by converting the electricity in her brain that causes seizures and uses them for super electric abilities! She is joined by a cast of characters - Team SEEZ - who all have a disability, but use them as “superabilities” to change the circumstances of their adversaries and save the day. She is a visionary, and we are so excited that this novel is finally here! Plus, we recap Greg's trip to the Epilepsy Walk at the Rose Bowl with some familiar faces and some new friends!

Have you ever heard any of these myths? After listening to this episode, do you feel like you have the information necessary to assist someone experiencing a seizure? Does anyone have a story about a time where they witnessed a seizure?   Quotes: "I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was eight years old. I was bullied by other students, treated differently by school administrators and teachers. I felt compelled to educate others so kids today wouldn't go through what I did." "Everyone has a safety story; you don't have to be a safety health professional to have a safety story." "You never know when someone will have a seizure, and it's good to know what to do. The more people know, the safer we all are." "Dispelling myths about people swallowing their tongue or putting something between their teeth is crucial." "You took it into your hands to do something you are passionate about, to help other people, and make the world a safer place." "From 2010 until this year, I founded and ran the Epilepsy Alliance for Young Adults, a local support group in the DC area that held small local events for those with the disorder and promoted epilepsy education." "Never put anything in their mouth and never hold them down. Time the seizure and remain calm. Stay with this person until their seizure has ended and they've regained consciousness."

Epilepsy is a neurologic central nervous system disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations and sometimes loss of awareness.Seizure symptoms can vary widely. Some people with epilepsy simply stare blankly for a few seconds during a seizure, while others repeatedly twitch their arms or legs. Having a single seizure doesn't mean you have epilepsy. At least two seizures without a known trigger (unprovoked seizures) that happen at least 24 hours apart are generally required for an epilepsy diagnosis.Anyone can develop epilepsy. Epilepsy affects both males and females of all races, ethnic backgrounds and ages. When a child is diagnosed with epilepsy, families may need support to adjust to this new diagnosis. Parents and schools can partner with the medical team to help."One of the things that's really important for families to remember is they are not fighting this battle on your own," explains Dr. Elaine Wirrell, a pediatric neurologist and chair of Child and Adolescent Neurology at Mayo Clinic Children's Center. "You need to share the diagnosis and inform those who are caring for your child — teachers, daycare, coaches — so they are prepared to help." Medication is generally the first course of treatment for epilepsy. Finding the right medication or combination of medications, and the optimal dosages, can be complex. Many children with epilepsy who aren't experiencing epilepsy symptoms can eventually discontinue medications and live a seizure-free life.For some children with drug-resistant epilepsy, surgery is an option. Epilepsy surgery, which is considered when at least two anti-seizure medications have failed to work, removes or alters an area of the brain where seizures originate.Experts at Mayo Clinic Children's Center also are studying neurostimulation treatments for epilepsy, an alternative treatment for children with severe epilepsy or for those who cannot have surgery. This treatment applies electricity to the central nervous system with the goal of reducing seizure frequency and severity.On this Ask the Mayo Mom edition of the Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast, host Dr. Angela Mattke is joined by Dr. Wirrell for a discussion on epilepsy in children.Related articles: "Consumer Health: Treating children with epilepsy."

Also, this November is Epilepsy Awareness Month so take the time to educate yourself and wear purple in support.website: brotherswithopinions.comlostrheteric.com

Do today's leaders know the needs of those who battle epilepsy—or other health issues? Do our churches and businesses creative a climate that shows deep care of those people and their struggles? Chris offers suggestions of ways today's leaders can lead others and let weaknesses become positives instead of negatives. Doug talks about how Chris became a different person through his illness and the long-term effects, while Tracy talks about this being the only Chris he knows. Tracy and Doug also talk about the many needs around them, and around us all. With the care of Jesus, we can love and lead people no matter what they struggle to overcome.

This week, I am again joined by Kayla as we review 2 of the four new Christmas movies this week, titled Christmas in Harmony starring Ashleigh Murray and Luke James, as well as Coyote Creek Christmas starring Janel Parrish and Ryan Paevey. One theme we found occurring in both of these movies is "Sucky Parents and Misplaced Anger". Parents of the leading lady in both movies kept huge secret from their daughter and instead of being even remotely angry at the parents, she took it out on her love interest. In "Christmas in Harmony", we had a good laugh at the title, share our wish for more singing, and the disappointment that it wasn't like Sister Act movies, lol. "Coyote Christmas" was a bore. We both found the storyline just boring. The real star of the movie was Azriel Dalman who played Noah. He should definitely be in more Hallmark movies. A couple of things happened this week. Lol. Two Hallmark actors spoke publicly on their stance with GAC. Paul Campbell and Emilie Ullerup have put out statements along the lines of they will not be working for the company unless they see significant inclusion in the channel. We were also featured in a Heavy article about these very statements since these statements were prompted by Camille calling out these actors. https://heavy.com/entertainment/hallmark/hallmark-stars-speak-out-gac-family/ November is also Epilepsy Awareness Month.

So to support her and the cause of epilepsy awareness, I could think of no one better to interview for today’s episode than my very special guest, my amazing baby sister, Lauren Boyd. In this episode, we dive DEEP into what epilepsy is and the different types of seizures those who suffer from epileptic episodes can experience. We talk about Lauren’s history with her disorder, and how she has learned to listen to her own mind and body better in an effort to outperform it. We tap into Lauren’s incredible knowledge as she dispels some of the misconceptions of epilepsy. And finally, we revisit the events of our younger years that led to her finally being properly diagnosed with epilepsy. You guys, this episode was SUCH A SPECIAL TIME for me! Not only did I get to interview my baby sister, but I got to talk with her openly about a disorder she’s lived with for more than a decade for the first time as adults. I couldn’t be more proud of the woman she’s become and her strength, resilience, wisdom, and poise continues to inspire me on a daily basis!

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that affects the central nervous system and causes seizures. More than 3 million Americans and more than 65 million people worldwide have epilepsy - a key reason that November is recognized as National Epilepsy Awareness Month. Thankfully, treatment with medications or sometimes surgery can control seizures for most people with epilepsy. On the Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast, Dr. Joseph Sirven, a Mayo Clinic neurologist, discusses the importance of raising awareness of epilepsy to lessen the stigma, Dr. Sirven also highlights the latest in treatments and research.

Epilepsy is a neurologic central nervous system disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations and sometimes loss of awareness.Seizure symptoms can vary widely. Some people with epilepsy simply stare blankly for a few seconds during a seizure, while others repeatedly twitch their arms or legs. Having a single seizure doesn't mean you have epilepsy. At least two seizures without a known trigger (unprovoked seizures) that happen at least 24 hours apart are generally required for an epilepsy diagnosis.Anyone can develop epilepsy. Epilepsy affects both males and females of all races, ethnic backgrounds and ages. When a child is diagnosed with epilepsy, families may need support to adjust to this new diagnosis. Parents and schools can partner with the medical team to help."One of the things that's really important for families to remember is they are not fighting this battle on your own," explains Dr. Elaine Wirrell, a pediatric neurologist and chair of Child and Adolescent Neurology at Mayo Clinic Children's Center. "You need to share the diagnosis and inform those who are caring for your child — teachers, daycare, coaches — so they are prepared to help." Medication is generally the first course of treatment for epilepsy. Finding the right medication or combination of medications, and the optimal dosages, can be complex. Many children with epilepsy who aren't experiencing epilepsy symptoms can eventually discontinue medications and live a seizure-free life.For some children with drug-resistant epilepsy, surgery is an option. Epilepsy surgery, which is considered when at least two anti-seizure medications have failed to work, removes or alters an area of the brain where seizures originate.Experts at Mayo Clinic Children's Center also are studying neurostimulation treatments for epilepsy, an alternative treatment for children with severe epilepsy or for those who cannot have surgery. This treatment applies electricity to the central nervous system with the goal of reducing seizure frequency and severity.On this Ask the Mayo Mom edition of the Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast, host Dr. Angela Mattke is joined by Dr. Wirrell for a discussion on epilepsy in children.Related articles: "Consumer Health: Treating children with epilepsy."
