Ever told yourself you can't?You can't focus.You can't achieve anything because you're inconsistent.You can't stick with things—you always quit.You can't be trusted because you're too forgetful.You can't chase that dream.You can't find that love.You can't go to that yoga class.You can't climb that mountain.Sound familiar?Living with ADHD, we're constantly told what we can't do—by the world and by ourselves. But what about what we can do because of our differences?Today, we're joined by the incredible Fiona Callanan—aka The Bionic Rocket Woman. By day, she's a high-flying international lawyer. By passion, she's a yoga teacher on a mission to make movement accessible to all.She proves that the only real limitation we have is the one in our minds.After surviving the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami and losing her leg, Fiona didn't let that define her—she redefined herself. Yoga transformed her view of disability into strength, and now she's on a mission to make movement accessible to everyone.

I'm going to be honest. I went into this one blind. And I've gotta say: Worth it!Here's how it went: Someone I trust recommended that I talk to their friend about something called Foundation Training. I did a quick Google and noted two things: 1) Created by a chiropractor and 2) Reparative in nature. That's all it took. I called John Bowden + set up an Intro to Foundation Training Workshop at the studio. And then I asked him to sit for a chat. So as you listen, keep in mind that I'm sincerely curious and sincerely delighted in what John is sharing with me. And I think you will be too!After the conversation, John lead me through a few poses and it tracks. Foundation Training is an impactful practice for strengthening + aligning the physical form. I'll be at the workshop on Saturday, November 16th. Hope you will be too!Follow John Bowden on social: @bow_den_of_earth

What to listen for:“How well does the dog actually understand target odor? Part of the issue is that we think we've taught the dog to alert on a birch container. But in some cases, if you don't train with distractions enough, for instance, the dog is going to alert on what they think is just the non-empty box. So what you think you're training may not be what you're training.”Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Dames of Detection, Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing!

Going to Chiropractic school 20 min away from the training facilities of the US Olympic Water Polo team. Having the opportunity to introduce the team to what would become Foundation Training. These are just a few of these serendipitous moments. He and his college friend and former fire fighter Jessie Salas, now form this power duo, taking FT all throughout the US and world.

I describe how I have sprinkled into my daily movement snacks a very effective way to “turn on” my butt, decompress my spine, activate deep diaphragmatic breathing and much more.  It all starts with gravity. Gravity has the ability to adversely affect processes in some or all of the following physiological systems: Your respiratory system, because a compressed rib cage limits the lungs' ability to expand and diminishes your breathing capacity…  Your digestive system, because squashes organs don't function nearly as well as they should and that burdens the body's ability to gain nourishment from food.. Your circulatory system, because squeezed blood vessels are not as efficient or as effective as they ought to be transporting nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells to where they need to be transported in order for your body to perform or fight disease… Your nervous system, because a compressed spinal cord and constricted neural pathways slow the progress of all those neurotransmitters trying to communicate from the periphery to the central nervous system – and back again – and can undermine the brain's ability to coordinate and influence all the activities of your body…  Hunching all day at a keyboard, tilting our heads forward over our phones, commuting long hours, and slouching on the couch simply magnify and aggravate these problems, resulting in poor posture that throw our bodies out of balance, causing unnecessary stress and strain that compromises our joints, restricts organ function, and weakens our force output.  My guests for this episode are Dr. Eric Goodman (founder of Foundation Training) and Jessie Salas.

Dr. Eric Goodman, DC is the founder and creator of Foundation Training. He has published 3 books contributing to health innovation for individuals and communities. He continues to treat and lecture around the world but lives mostly in Hawaii with his wife Jen and their daughter Sunny. Foundation Training was born of out of necessity. In 2007 Eric Goodman was in his last year of chiropractic school gaining knowledge and skills but remaining debilitated by back pain that had followed him for years. He was advised to get spinal fusion surgery, but after deeply considering the effectiveness and physical toll it would take, declined this option. He instead worked to create a better solution. This choice became the catalyst for his life's work. Dr. Goodman became the doctor he wished he had, creating innovative corrective movements as the answer to his pain. Understanding the challenge of being a patient without viable options, he started teaching the exercises to help other people help themselves. These exercises became Foundation Training and have been utilized by tens of thousands of people to get out of pain. The “business” of Foundation Training is a family affair, run by close friends committed to the common goal of helping people and holding to the commitment of continually learning how to do this better. Over the years, our talented teaching staff have contributed significantly to helping us breakdown the information to make it easier to learn, including developing certifications that allow us to produce instructors who deeply understand and are skilled at teaching the material. Foundation Training's programs remains innovative, continually evolving as knowledge, resources, and applications expand. The community of instructors, clients, patients, and friends whose lives have been improved remains the core of who we are. Connect with Dr. Goodman: https://ftstreaming.com/   Have questions?

Running and Returning is a book, a story, and a glimpse into the tapestry of life for now 61-yr-old runner, Vicki Hunter. Vicki is a prior fellow trainer I met in at RallySport in Boulder. She has recently published a book and whether you are a runner like Vicki, a parent of a child with addiction, or none of the above… this episode is one you'll identify with.  Vicki's story is testimony to the resilience of the body and the mind.   00:00 My Guest:  Vicki Ash Hunter is a writer, runner, coach, and retired university instructor. A lifelong athlete, Hunter found respite in running as a teenager in the 1970s and hasa since relied on it to satisfy her competitive nature and keep her body and mind healthy and strong. Her running resume is stacked with races ranging from 5K to 50 miles, including the 1988 Olympic Marathon Trials and the Pikes Peak Marathon a dozen times, She still competes, and in 2021, at age 60, ran the Boston Marathon in 3 hours, 30 minutes.  Hunter's running career is dotted with accidents and injuries, however, and some of them were life-threatening and life-altering. Most significantly, she came back from near-death after a car accident in 1997, when she was pregnant with her first child. She credits her own fitness and fortitude; her will to deliver a healthy baby; running; and the care of specialized and alternative practitioners for her and her daughter's survival, recovery, and return to real life.  Where she is now Hunter, who retired from the University of Colorado, where she taught political science, is now a running coach certified in Foundation Training  and the Lydiard method. She is a movement specialist who works with athletes of all levels and abilities and is particularly attuned to the needs of ultrarunners. Influenced by her own experience recovering from injuries, she is passionate about and dedicated to helping people move better.  Hunter holds a Ph.D. in political science and is the mother of two grown daughters. She and her husband live in Boulder, Colorado, and Kona, Hawaii. Running and Returning is her first book.

Dr. Eric Goodman joins Chris Kresser in this episode of Revolution Health Radio to discuss how Foundation Training addresses back pain on a functional level and uses movement and breathing to correct the imbalances caused by our modern habits. Dr. Goodman explains the mechanics of back pain, the evolution of Foundation Training, how decompression breathing and pelvic anchoring can provide sustained pain relief and everyday fitness, and how you can get started with incorporating Foundation Training into your routine. The post RHR: Optimizing Movement for a Pain-Free Life through Foundation Training, with Dr. Eric Goodman appeared first on Chris Kresser.

Something that i feel is universal in our world is the notion that we will all inevitably face challenges within our lives. This being said, what separates the individuals that see those challenges as opportunities from the individuals who allow those challenges to become blockades that prevent them from overcoming them? In my experience, this difference rests on not only our mindset, but the subsequent views & perception we have upon the world around us. This is why I feel it is SO crucial to not only work on our mindset & dive into why we believe what we believe about life, but to also make friends with the inner critic within us that tells us we can't, couldn't, wouldn't or shouldn't consciously choose to embark upon a new way of living & see our inner critic as our best friend in disguise & the only aspect of us willing to beat us down in hopes of us using those criticisms to fuel us into the most epic journey of life possible for us in our lives. Todays guest on the show is a man who is a prime example of someone who has made friends with not only his inner critic, but also his fear & has allowed these positive reframes of these aspects of himself to propel him into living life on his own terms & creating the life of his dreams. He is a retired firefighter, where he spent 17 years passionately moving into some of the most dangerous situations on earth to help save other peoples lives, is an absolute juggernaut in the space of handling high stress situations & finding comfort within those discomforts & has now taken those experiences & moved into the role of program director for a system of training called Foundation Training, which is based on teaching how to take the burden of supporting the body out of your joints & put it back where it belongs, which is in your muscles. For all of you high achievers & go getters out there, prepare to go on a journey into how to not only re-evaluate what is possible for you, but to ensure you are able to stay balanced, regulated & healthy while shooting for the stars in your experience of life.

In a bomb shelter under attack in the Middle East, Dr. David Berceli, PhD observed what would become the foundation for much of his work. As mortar shells assaulted the shelter's exterior, David observed as young children shook in terror and adults sat, stoic and unmoving.  “We train ourselves out of these endogenous rhythmic movements of the human body that actually are designed to help us reduce stress or release trauma,” David observed. “By trembling, those two year olds were actually healthier than the adults who simply froze that mechanism and didn't allow their body to discharge the excited [energy] that was being created by the mortar shells.” This was the match that lit the flame for David, who then decided to dedicate his life to helping people deal with trauma, specifically in mass quantities. This led to the creation of the Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®), a series of exercises that stimulate the body to release deep muscular patterns of stress, tension, and trauma. This system of exercises initiates the body's natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating to release tension and calm the nervous system.  In this episode, Dr. Lakhia and Dr. David Berceli discuss all things trauma and how to release that through the body's natural response to trauma and stress.

Sometimes, the greatest struggles can bring forth the greatest innovations.  That is certainly true for Dr. Eric Goodman, DC, the founder of http://foundationtraining.com (Foundation Training). As a young man in chiropractic school, his severe back pain from multiple disc herniations became unbearable. “I had about a year left of chiropractic school when my back got bad to the point that I was like, ‘I don't want to be a chiropractor,'” Dr. Goodman tells Dr. Lakhia. “Driving hurt, standing hurt, sitting hurt, and laying hurt. You're just out of options.”  It was in experimenting with his own pain in motion that he was able to develop Foundation Training, a combination of exercises and breathing techniques that helps with anything from basic daily movements to athletics. Josh Brigham became a devotee of Foundation Training from his own spinal issues. Now a trainer and owner of http://adaptclt.com (Adapt CLT,) he uses Foundation Training to bring others the same relief he's experienced.  He says a video about decompression breathing that he saw at his first Foundation Training event changed how he thought about breath. “It was just real easy to make that concept live inside of you,” Josh said. “And that's how it was introduced to me. And it never went away.”  In this episode, Dr. Lakhia, Dr. Goodman, and Josh discuss all things Foundation Training — how to get started, and why changing how you bend and breathe can change your pain.   

In this episode, Steve Edwards, owner of Queen Valley Mule Ranch in Queen Valley, Arizona takes time to talk about ground foundation training and the first steps to prepare to ride your mule or donkey, he explains shivers and if anything can be done, the right way to shoe your animals, and A Whole Lot More!

Did you know your body has complex cannabinoid systems that can help naturally relieve pain? Science didn't even know they existed until fairly recently. Dr. Eric Goodman, Doctor of Chiropractic and creator of Foundation Training, sees the amazing relief cannabis brings to his chronic pain patients. If we can understand how these systems work, and why cannabis works so well with them, we could find better solutions for chronic pain in the future and say goodbye to prescription painkillers for good. || LINKS || www.foundationtraining.com | www.calderalab.com/darin | Full Show Notes - https://darinolien.com/understanding-cannabis-the-cannabinoid-systems-in-the-body-dr-eric-goodman/ 

It only takes 3 minutes a day to be mindful of your posture - and that could take away decades of pain that's been keeping you from performing at your best.

Last week, Dr. Eric Goodman, creator of Foundation Training, explained how bodyweight exercises and postures a few minutes a day can help us recover from injury and chronic pain. Today, we continue the conversation on chronic pain management by exploring the use of cannabis as a viable alternative to pharmaceuticals. Dr. Goodman explains how cannabis stimulates the endogenous cannabinoid system in a healthy and natural way. This has the effect of lowering pain and improving the quality of life, especially for people suffering from chronic conditions such as Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, cancer, etc. While cannabis use is now being widely legalized and its medicinal properties recognized, the stigma still exists. It's important to note that cannabis is not a cure for anything.As you'll be hearing in this episode, compared to surgery and pharmaceuticals used for chronic pain management, cannabis is a much better alternative. Along with sharing his own and his patients' stories of using cannabis to manage chronic pain, Dr. Goodman explains why he strongly advocates for its medical use in a safe way. But cannabis is not for everyone. Tune in to learn more about the endocannabinoid system, CBD use, smoking, edibles, and much more. Key Takeaways- Cannabis use for health (03:01)- The 3 biggest things for pain management (05:18)- CBD oil for chronic illnesses (08:52)- CBD products for cancer (11:28)- Is smoking cannabis harmful to our health (13:10)- How cannabis works in our system (14:45)- Who should avoid cannabis (16:50)- Our body manifests emotional trauma physically (21:50)Additional ResourcesLearn More about Micro Pulse PEMF Technology----Get The Foundation Training App HereFoundations of Health Book-----UCLA Pot Smoking Study----ditchthequickfix.com/Do you want to improve your physical health?

I grew up on the east coast of the United States. My whole life there. My dad was what we call a beltway bandit. So anybody lives around the Washington DC area knows that means he worked for the government as a West Point grad. So he actually even worked with Liddy Dole and Robert Reich, and it was just an amazing place to grow up in a subdivision called Wayside, and Tamarack. All the kids that grew up there. We still go and share the things we learned we did because we had a creek that ran all the way around our neighborhood. We'd go and play in the creek. And we share still the stories of those times in the Facebook group, which is really fun. Patti Dobrowolski 03:08 But anyway, so the first thing is it stands out to me as your dad was a West Point grad. Right. So that just tells you right there. What an incredible, you know, disciplined environment you grew up in? Meagan O'Leary 03:22 Yeah, well, yes. And he was a West Point hippie as well. Okay. All right. That's good. A little bit of West Point, hippie, and yes, he was disciplined. He was an engineer. And he moved on. He eventually left the government had his own companies did mergers and acquisitions. But I ended up staying in Seattle area in the Washington DC area. Tell us about 27 years old. Okay. And yeah, and I was my early career. I was a certified public accountant, Patti Dobrowolski 03:47 CPA. Oh, no, no, that's fantastic. Okay, good. Meagan O'Leary 03:53 I graduated when there was a bit of a recession on the East Coast. When I was in school, I went to University of New Hampshire. I worked in the controller's office, or they call it comptroller's office. My first job there was the registrar's office was going from accepting checks and money now just dating myself here checks and money to a computer system. So my job was all of the registered ladies. They're all ladies would scooch the little chairs up around me and I would teach them how to use their computer. Patti Dobrowolski 04:19 Oh my God. And so you know, how far afield is that today? You just really getting everybody to scooch their chairs up so you can show them like, Okay, here's some magic I meant to do on the computer, just watch. Meagan O'Leary 04:33 And they were laughing and it was kind of fun. So I went to University New Hampshire, I went back to Washington, DC where I grew up, I ended up getting my CPA license, worked for a real estate development company for a few years. And then my grandmother had been in Tacoma, Washington, we used to spend our summers there, just passed away, left the family a little bit of money. So me, my brother and my mother, we decided to move to the Washington Tacoma area and open up a bagel bakery. Patti Dobrowolski 05:01 That is fantastic. Meagan O'Leary 05:03 Now, Patti Dobrowolski 05:03 You know, I spent part of my childhood in Tacoma too. Did you know that? That one of my great aunts lived there? And so we would go there. Yeah. Yeah. So all right. So you worked in a bagel bakery, you had one. Meagan O'Leary 05:15 We had one we ran for a few years. Hard work. Learned a lot. I would say the biggest learning experience I always tell people I had from the bagel bakery was probably towards the end of my two year run there. A woman came in and said, your cinnamon raisin bagels have no raisins in them. Why would we have cinnamon raisin bagels and not have any raisins? And she goes, Why can't see them? So there aren't any raisins in there. And I ah. So we have a big mixer. And we would mix the raisins in. I said, Would it help? If I mix the raisins less? So you could see them? She goes, that would be perfect. I said then would you believe that they have raisins in them? Yes, she said. But I can't tell you how much that left an impression on me around perspectives and different people's perspectives. Even though there were raisins in there. She couldn't see him. She didn't believe that they were there. Right. Patti Dobrowolski 06:02 Oh, so, then how does that translate to your everyday life? Now when you think about that, that you have to leave a little trail of something that's more visible so that people understand that it's there. Yeah. Meagan O'Leary 06:15 Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. People can't see it, smell it, touch it, whatever their favorite way to experience the world that it doesn't exist. This woman just needed to see her raisin. Meagan O'Leary 06:27 I love it. So what happened after that? Meagan O'Leary 06:29 So after that, I moved from Gig Harbor, Washington where we opened the bagel bakery in the 90s. And you can go back and look at Gig Harbor in the 90s. It was not Gig Harbor up today. And we sold bagels. But we didn't sell bagels like you would sell bagels on the East Coast and the East Coast. People buy bags of bagels and cream cheese. People in Gig Harbor, Washington, they wanted sandwiches with high labor. We were fairly successful, I would say and we didn't anticipate there being so many sandwiches that we would be making every day. So anyway, we sold that I moved into the city and I worked and went back into accounting as a controller for various restaurants in the city. So if anybody's in the city, you would know the B-liner Diner at the time the Coastal Kitchen, the Five Spot or something called Luncheonette. So we're for these gentlemen Mr Chow Foos. They ran these restaurants. So I was their controller. And I would ride my bike from restaurant to restaurant and do the books, essentially. Patti Dobrowolski 07:26 That's fantastic. Yeah, I love that. Yeah. Okay. And then how did you end up at Microsoft then? Meagan O'Leary 07:32 Okay, so after that, I went to a restaurant that was a cross over in Bellevue. And I worked there for about a year and a half. And the gentleman that was running the restaurant, and I, he and I just, I'd say we didn't get along so well. So I ended up losing my job. I'd never been fired before. So I was fired. best thing that ever happened to me. I mean, the moment no, but back best thing that ever happened. So I collected myself. And I met this woman who did placements at the time I choose, she'd helped people find a job. And so I went and met with her. Still, she and I still talked to this day. And I remember I had on this beautiful suit. And I went in to talk to her and said, look, you know, I'm looking for my next thing. And she looked at me as if you need a new cycle, not a new cycle. She goes, you just need a new cycle. And I said, like what she said, Well, there's a little company called Western wireless out in Issaquah, Washington, those of you aren't local. And they need somebody temporarily to take a role for somebody and accounts receivable while this woman's having her baby. And I said, Okay, so you think that's a new cycle? She goes, Yeah, it's a new company, a new industry, and you're out of the restaurant. I think it'll be good for you. So I go, and I get this temporary job with Western Wireless. And with a permanent job, Western wireless becomes VoiceStream VoiceStream becomes T Mobile. So I did an eight year run from I remember us having 100,000 subscribers on the VoiceStream network. And then we were purchased by Deutsche Telekom. And so I ran really all the back office systems for what became T Mobile at the time. Patti Dobrowolski 09:01 Wow. That is incredible. Oh, my God. I remember when T Mobile was happening then became such a big kaboom. Yes. All right. So T Mobile. Meagan O'Leary 09:10 Yeah, we call it the University of TMobile, because all of us that are there. Again, we're all in a Facebook group. And we still share information. And it was really a close knit group of people. So from there, I was recruited into Microsoft into leading a, they call it a time a customer data integration project. So it was a data mastery project. And I'd been running the back office systems for SAP for SAP, and I implemented SAP, at T Mobile. So then I go to Microsoft, and I got more into the data space. And so from there, I moved into the Partner Group, which I think you work with a lot of folks in the partner Yep. So that's how I kind of kind of touch base. Then I went to a field facing sales tool implementation role. Then I moved into finance for about six years. Then I moved into the Microsoft Consulting Services. And now I'm in the organization which is CNS, which is. Patti Dobrowolski 10:06 Yeah, fantastic. Well, and what I know from you is that even in the time that I've known you, you've moved around in there. And that's the I think the beauty of Microsoft is that once you get there, you can move around a lot into different organizations, you can have different roles, you can expand yourself, and and you certainly have now, what in the world do you think? Did you enjoy all that movement? And then what happened to you after that? When I met you, you had just recovered from cancer? So say a little bit about what that. Meagan O'Leary 10:38 Oh yeah. That happened in the middle of it? Well, so my philosophy at Microsoft has always been I would come in, build a strategy, put together the plan, implement, and I always finish what I started, always. But once I finished what I'd start if there wasn't something exciting where I was, I would look for something new. Patti Dobrowolski 10:55 Something else. Yeah, yeah. easily bored. Gotta move on. Right. Meagan O'Leary 10:59 Yeah. I think that's part of my nature. Yeah. And, you know, I think I have a pretty good brand, Microsoft, and I'm known for getting things done. I'm known for, as you mentioned, in the bio, working effectively with others. And, as you mentioned, in the middle of my career in finance, I was in finance six years, probably longer than I've ever been any place. I ended up with a cancer diagnosis. And, you know, it was a hard time for me. Really hard time. Patti Dobrowolski 11:29 Yeah. Well, I and you were in a relationship at the time. Right. And you have a young son? I do right. 14 now. Yeah. And so but at that time, you know, that must have been really scary for you. How did you cope with all of that? Meagan O'Leary 11:46 Cope isn't interesting. I don't think I did cope. It's interesting Patty, look and see if I have it. I do have it. I know not everybody can see the video. But I was thinking about one of my coping things that or, something that happened, and I'm holding up this book called Meagan Bear Adventures. And I'm going out of the office for about three months ended up with a double mastectomy. So I had cancer, both breasts and different cancer in both breasts. And while I was gone, my team purchased this. It's a describe it for folks. It's a rainbow bear. And it would light up and see the lights. And while I was out for three months, they would take the bear to meetings, there was an outing, there was a party, and they took the bear to the party. Patti Dobrowolski 12:28 I love that. Meagan O'Leary 12:29 So you see this book, Patti Dobrowolski 12:31 That is so sweet. So the sweetest thing ever. Patti Dobrowolski 12:33 That really, that is so amazing. And one of the things that to me is amazing about you, is that you claimed your health, you reclaimed it. And so say a little bit about what you did, because you're a complete bio hacker. I mean, you check your metrics all the time about where things are. And so talk about how you learned about that and what you did to help yourself, really cure yourself. You really did. Talk about it. Meagan O'Leary 13:02 I did. I did cure myself. And the way I describe it to people is, this is the metaphor I have used when I talk to folks. And when you're involved in a diagnosis, you know, you're talking to the person that's giving you the diagnosis, and they have a perspective. What I came to learn is, is my beach ball metaphor, and I'm writing about it right now, if I'm sitting here and you're sitting across me, Patti, I'm looking at the yellow stripe on the beach ball, you're looking at the red stripe, right? There's somebody over here looking at the blue stripe, and another person looking at the green stripe. Yeah, each one of those stripes is a doctor or a therapist or oncologist or someone within the world given me a perspective on my diagnosis and my prognosis. And what I realized is, I can't just listen to the one stripe story, I need to get up on top of the beachball look down at all the colors, and really listen to what people are telling me, and then figure out what's going on in my body. I do a lot of testing, I do a lot of blood draws, and different tests, different modalities. I even have a continuous glucose monitor that I wear every day to see what my blood sugar is doing. And so I test and I assess, and I make decisions on what I think is right for me to do. Patti Dobrowolski 14:12 What you need to eat and how much sleep and things like that, right? Meagan O'Leary 14:16 Yeah. And I'm not perfect in any means with this. It's hard. I just looked at the options. I did the research. I had the mindset of everything's a good idea until it's not a good idea. And so I would look at and being somebody who worked on machine learning and I know statistics, I would look at the statistics and what folks are saying and in the cancer space, it just turns out that the treatment tends to in a conventional way, go towards the worst case scenario. Yeah, if you look at anything as a sine curve to it, yep, there's the right side and there's the left side and then there's the middle. I decided I didn't want to plan for the worst. I wanted to plan for the healthiest. Yeah, the healthiest alternative, how I could be the most vital how I could live as long as possibly could. Patti Dobrowolski 15:01 Yeah, yeah. And so you did. And so you are true. Alright. And so part of that is you took that three months to really take care of yourself. But then how did you change? Because I think, oftentimes, and this is just my perception, and you can say. What drove you into having that kind of activating that cancer gene that you had, right? But I often feel like stressful environments where you're working too much not sleeping enough eating really crappy food, and they all these things contribute to the activation of it. And what did you change in your behavior as a result of getting that? What changed in you? Or what didn't change? Because there's so many things did, right? Meagan O'Leary 15:45 Yeah. You know, one story that I haven't told a lot of people. It was a four years ago, this month, that I was diagnosed breast cancer. And a month after that, I got on an airplane and flew down to this church called Agave. I'm not somebody who's generally very religious, but Agave is run by Reverend Beckwith, do you know him? Yes, yes. And he had a guest there named Joe Dispenza. And so I went there. And I actually met some fantastic people. And so friends with them today. And I ended up having a conversation with Reverend Beckwith, about my situation. So look, I was just diagnosed with breast cancer, and I'm super stressed out about it. And he took both of his hands and he put them right above my chest, and he closed his eyes. And I'm standing there, I'm like, Okay, I'm not sure really what's going on here. And it was about a minute and he opened his eyes, he said, You are going to live a long life. And I realized one of the keys to living that long life was to rethink some things. But also that connection that I had with him in the moment was amazing. Later that day, I got to meet Joe Dispenza, a friend of mine that I met there knew him very well. And I had a conversation with him around, you know, hey, what does it take? What should I do? And then he and I had a conversation, he said, you know, you have to make the choices that work for you, there's probably not a path, that's the same for everybody. But you have to make the choice for you. And I was actually going back and forth around mastectomy and not to have a mastectomy. And he looked at me, he said, it may be that getting a mastectomy is going to help you jumpstart your health. And I thought, why I had never really thought about it that way, you know, that you can get through some of the dysfunction in your body, and you can jump started. So with that, that was kind of my start on what would become the journey of last four years. Patti Dobrowolski 17:32 Yeah. And you know, one of the things that you said in your bio, is that you believe that the successful path is through self empowerment and autonomy. And so autonomy is like you in the beach ball. Right? And self empowerment is you reclaiming your choices, right? Not being victimized by it. Did you ever find that you felt victimized by the experience? We just had some days where you're like, why did it happen to me and like that? Meagan O'Leary 18:01 Yeah, definitely. Poor me syndrome. Yeah, for definitely poor me syndrome. And one of the things that you asked how the why of this, or you know, what happened? What did I change, I had some roles over the years, that I would get up at five in the morning, I would do cardio, I would jump on phone calls, I would work all day, I try to take a break in the middle of the day, but I'd be back on phone calls at nine or 10 at night. So I was running a pretty long day. And you know, even the breaks I was doing during the day didn't help me refresh. And often I would choose cardio oversleeping. And when I think back on those days, or even look at some of the sleep tracking, I would have nights with for sleep. Yeah. And now seven hours is what I did. Patti Dobrowolski 18:44 Yeah, that's what I was going to ask you actually was okay. So if that was your day in the past, what's your day in the present? What does it look like for you? Meagan O'Leary 18:52 Yeah, what I found for me is I prioritize sleep. Yeah. So if I'm looking at this, I'm like, Well, I'm, I've got something going on, I'm not gonna go to bed till 10. I'm going to sleep in rather than getting up and working out. And I do prioritize working out. It's very important to me to move my body. Effectively, I beat my office into the basement, and I workout room right across the way so I can run over and ride the bike or do something. So it's a little more integrated to my with my day, then separate and apart. But let's say sleep versus definitely the magic for me. Patti Dobrowolski 19:21 Yeah. And also the other pieces that you got to place up on Camino island during that same time, right. So you were able to get out into I don't know the woods as much as you can get in the woods. Right. You're right on the water there. And yeah, so I think these things play an important role. But then how did your wife deal with it and your kids? I mean, how did your son deal with it? Meagan O'Leary 19:46 Um, you know, my son's been great. He had empathy at two they say that they don't even fear to but he did have empathy at two. I do think he's still protective of me. Yeah, okay. I think he felt like he was or could lose me so easily. does have a little bit of protectionism towards me? And Shannon, my wife, it was just a jolt for both of us. And it brought us closer together. Patti Dobrowolski 20:09 Yeah, yeah, for sure. Well, she's such an amazing coach in her own right, you know, just getting people motivated to change their life and get things going. So, I mean, it's an amazing combo, the two of you, number one, and also that you were able to really transform yourself. And for years, that's all it's been. So I think I met you right at that time, when you had just been, you know, you had gotten your first clear from that, when you went to the doctor, they said that it was clear, Meagan O'Leary 20:38 It was clear it, it came back and clear to came back and cleared several times. And I've, you know, finally figured some things out. I mean, notice, for me, I'm 40 pounds lighter than I used to be, I also prioritize connections with others and connection with myself and be mindful of what I need and super mindful of what I want from other people. And then something that's also important is what are those boundaries for my life, you know, to have the relationship with my family, to spend the time with my family to be able to get the sleep I need in the workout. So, you know, boundaries in this type of situation become really important. And I would go back to the bear and the people that work for me, and yeah, how loving and caring they were for me. And while I was gone, they covered for me, when I came back, they made sure that I had the time, I needed to take care of myself, because I was doing things like high dose vitamin C twice a week and hyperbaric oxygen, oxygen tank, I get into for 90 minutes. So I had a lot of things I was still doing. And they were fantastic. Patti Dobrowolski 21:36 Yeah, that's fantastic. And I just think that one of the things that I really admire about you and appreciate is that you're always looking at what the next thing is that you have to do, whether it's in your career, or whether it's in your health, you're always trying to figure out well, now what now what do I need to do? And so when you think about the now what for what you're doing now, what do you envision for yourself? I know, you appreciate your work at Microsoft. But what else are you doing or thinking about? Are you doing any writing what's happening? Meagan O'Leary 22:09 I love to write, I was a journalist. Before I was anything else where I was younger, I was on the school paper. It was interesting how I got away from that. And I've back at it. Now I actually have someone who edits my writing for me, so I can write more. I'm writing my beach ball story right now. All right, usually on my the anniversary of the finding out I had breast cancer, I try to write something as well. So I'm in the middle of that right now. And for me, I've started to coach at bring some folks on scholarship that I coach on, how do you work through an early diagnosis? What are the things that you can think about? How can you create your own board of directors around the beach ball? And how do you want to be with it? What do you need to do to get your mind body and spirit back to where you need to be? So I do work with women in that in that regard? I am working I've I'm a certified primal health coach with Mark Seisen. I'm a certified heart math coach, do you know Heart Math? Yes, of course. Okay, yeah, about heart coherence head heart coherence. And so it's a practice that I have, I use their biofeedback tool to look and see, how's my coherence? And what can I do to make sure I'm going to do maybe a stressful situation? How can I manage it more effectively? But right now I'm studying to become a health and wellness coach, through the Functional Medicine Institute. Patti Dobrowolski 23:23 Oh, yeah. Fantastic. Meagan O'Leary 23:25 Yeah. Finishing up something at a training program. It's called the train advocacy program with Nasha Winters, who wrote the metabolic approach to cancer. And finishing that up right now, it's all about how to help people assess with their doctor what's happening with their terrain, so they can have the right plan to do what I did, essentially. And then I'm doing something really fun called Foundation Training. Have you done that? You know, what sad foundation training is all about breathing and posture, think about having a lot of scar tissue in your chest, and it can cause your body to pull in. And so I found foundation training as a way to open my body back up, and then also help with some back pain that I had. And it's a series of, of movements that pulls you out in decompresses your body, but creates a spiral such that you can you can move in a healthier way to not pull yourself. Patti Dobrowolski 24:13 I love that I got to do that for sure. You know, I got that scar, that railroad scar, I got to do something with that. That's all Yeah, I have to have that conversation with you offline. That's fantastic. Now, behind you, you've got a vision map up there. So I know that we've done many of vision map together. So tell me what's in that vision of the future for you what's up there on that picture? Meagan O'Leary 24:35 Well, I don't know if this is the last one. Well, it must be because what's in there for me is when I decide I'm going to leave from Microsoft when I have no idea when that is how do I expand upon this coaching that I'm doing right now with people to help them find their own path? And you know, I want to spend more time doing that. I want to spend more time learning these if modalities and ways to help people because I love doing it. For someone who did not do well in high school Biology, you know, just for me to have learned all this and picked it up and even this foundation course I'm going through all the anatomy and physiology how the body works, just for me to bring more of that into the world to help more people is really what I want to do. Patti Dobrowolski 25:13 Yeah. And you're gonna be so fantastic at that. I know that I have been like pushing you to do for a long time, like, get out, do it. But one of the things that you talk about is you talk about some people's perception of cancer, and how they have it and what they say about it. Can you speak a little bit about that? You know, where people just talk about it? What happens to them when they get it? What they talk about when they beat it? Meagan O'Leary 25:40 Yeah, well, I can tell you that some people become the diagnosis, they become the prognosis. I get a little frustrated when I hear someone say it's not curable. Well, it's not curable, the way they define curable, but I can take you back to my Joe Dispenza conversation and the power of intention. And I never want to live my life with something uncurable. I would reframe that in whatever way possible. Yeah. For myself. Patti Dobrowolski 26:07 Yeah. What else? Good, because we've talked about this before. And I'm curious, like, so if somebody stuck in that mindset, you know, when people give you a diagnosis, and they say you're only have four months to live, I remember they said that about my mother. We never told her that. We never told her that they had said that because we're like, yeah, they don't know, they really don't know. And so she lived longer than that. And who needed to know that right? Meagan O'Leary 26:34 Yeah. Well, they Nasha Winters that I was mentioning I study with, she had ovarian cancer was given very little time to live. She was really sick. And she's 50 years old. She's still with us today teaching everybody what have worked with 1000 people and then teaching others how to have the right conversations around your terrain in your body. And, you know, the other pieces is as you're sitting there, around the beachball, again, talking to the oncologist, and they're giving you the path forward to do your research to understand and, and not Facebook research, you know, I love when I go to Facebook, and someone says, Hey, I've read this diagnosis of cancer, what supplements should I take? And I always say, well go get your blood tested and tested and understand what you need. You don't need what I took, or you don't use oils took you need to know what you need, you know, and you know, for me, when I look back on this, I needed to get more connection with my community, I need to get more connection with myself, I needed to have the right boundaries, I needed to sleep more. And so the sense what I put forward to both people get really clear what you need. And don't get so stuck in the prognosis of it all. Yeah, because even if you have a day to live, that's a day, you how are you gonna have that to be the best day you've ever had? Does that answer your question. Patti Dobrowolski 27:47 Yes. And I was thinking too, there's something about belief, right? And so you in a way, you always set your self up for success by what you believe. And that is something that I know to be true for you is that, you know, you rarely doubt yourself unless somebody says something and you think what, you know, but you really have been very forward moving, in terms of your career, and also in terms of your health, like you're not passive at all. And I think that's part of making good changes not being passive, realizing that everything, without exception is here for you to grow from, right. And so grow was so when you think about that whole trajectory of what you went through, what did you learn? What did you learn from it? What was your big aha? Meagan O'Leary 28:43 Well, that curiosity is the way forward, that you really need to embrace knowledge, you know, learn the things, if you didn't learn biology, learn some biology, so you know what people are talking about. Don't just hand anything over to any one doctor. And doctors are people too. They have their own limitations. And not every doctor knows nutrition. And so create that right team for yourself, integrate perspectives from as many people as you possibly can. And don't get stuck in the dogma don't get stuck in your own beliefs. You know, my belief was that I could get better and I had a vision of what better looked like. But I continue to ask questions, you know, am I making the right decision? Let me look at all sides of the story. And then continue to adapt is as things change, as there's new information, then continue to adapt for sure is you notice things before? Patti Dobrowolski 29:33 Yeah. And when you think about so people that are listening, who want to be a better leader or want to pivot in their career. I mean, you're the consummate change maker. That's what's true. It's like when you feel like this is boring. I'm done with this. You move on and what would you say to someone who feels that way, but isn't quite sure how to make that leap? What would you recommend to them that they think about and consider and then do. Meagan O'Leary 30:00 In this may be a little bit different than you're thinking about, I'll say, you know, at Microsoft, it's been as much about my network as anything else. Yes. Like who I know. And hey, hey, I'm looking around, what's the next thing? Give me ideas. And it's always through the connections that I find the next thing. Patti Dobrowolski 30:17 Now, so your network is everything, right? Network is everything. Meagan O'Leary 30:21 It's everything. I thought, my smart my brain was everything. When I was 23 year old. I was kind of a pain in the ass. Actually, I'm in a different place. Now. I'm like, oh, I need other people. Yeah, people. Patti Dobrowolski 30:34 Yeah, network is everything. Well, if you were to just tell us a little bit about what you're reading right now, or what are you into right now so that we can get a glimpse into what the future is? I know you're writing again. So you're going to write a book that's going to happen. But what are you reading? Meagan O'Leary 30:52 I'm reading Eric Goodmans book that just came out. He is the Foundation guy. It's about a little bit about foundation training. It's about pain, about cannaboids. And the cannabinoid system, a little bit about THC, interestingly enough, and he's interviewed in his stories about a lot of people that he worked with over the years. So I'm reading his book, it just came out, I think about four weeks ago, I'm going to meet him at the end of the month, when I go for the training, the foundation training I was mentioning to you. And I'm reading another book off to share it with you. It's about movement. So I guess where I am in this whole journey right now, whereas it was in a body, as in a mind is really movement? How do I move my body? And how do I move things through my body? It's really kind of where I am. Patti Dobrowolski 31:34 It's incredible to me that every time I talk to you, you have done something amazing and new, that you've learned something that like a totally different health hack, or something that you're exploring to see, what does this do? How can I use it? So when you turn your practice on, you turn Microsoft off and this practice on, it's going to be incredible for people that need help.

In Part one of this two-part series, Damon chats with Dr. Eric Goodman on pain management by utilizing Foundation Training Exercises. Foundation Training is a unique but simple approach to exercising and stabilizing the spine. These exercises are suitable for injury prevention and recovery for elite athletes and ordinary people. It is also used by those seeking to avoid surgery or post-surgery recovery. Foundation Training utilizes body-weight exercises to change how we move and correct imbalances caused by our modern lifestyle. As Dr. Eric Goodman explains, Foundation Training activates the entire posterior muscle chain to balance our movement, anchors the hips, and decompresses the spine. The effect of all this is to get the tension off your joints into your muscles which put you on the path to health. Ever wondered how to manage pain and prevent injury through simple body exercises?

Foundation Training was born of out of necessity. In 2007 Eric Goodman was in his last year of chiropractic school gaining knowledge and skills but remaining debilitated by back pain that had followed him for years. He was advised to get spinal fusion surgery, but after deeply considering the effectiveness and physical toll it would take, declined this option. He instead worked to create a better solution. This choice became the catalyst for his life's work which is known around the globe as Foundation Training - No more back pain - Ever.  Please Welcome our IMPACT guest Dr. Eric Goodman!   If you like what we are doing please like, share and subscribe to our IMPACT Podcast.   This weekend episode is sponsored by:    Creekside Health,  when in Whistler try Creekside health with Dominique Valle and here awesome team https://www.creeksidehealth.ca and by the by the Pelly Clinic – in North Vancouver, Focusing on your body's inate potential to live a life of total wellness http://thepellyclinic.ca   https://www.foundationtraining.com @foundationtraining   #foundationtraining #dr.ericgoodman #backpain #nobackpain #nomorebackpain #nomorepain
