We have many dreams in life. Dreams of a better future, a happy family, running a marathon, losing that extra 10 pounds, and eating healthy. But sometimes, our dreams are just being overshadowed by the sheer number of excuses. We can have as many dreams as we want, but all it will take is just one excuse and all that dreams will never be a reality. It can be our lack of time, our job, and sometimes even our own health, but all of these should not stop us. Take our guest for this week as an example. Win Charles was born with cerebral palsy, she lost her mom in 2010 and her dad in 2019, but these have not stopped her from reaching her dreams and touching other people's lives. Win Charles has defied the odds by becoming an author. Her memoir “I, Win” tells her amazing story of how she remembers her life through the years of having cerebral palsy, as a competitor in the Kona IronMan Triathlon, and a motivational speaker, and even hosts her own Podcast: A Winning Cup.

Ruth Heidrich, PhD is a young 83 year-old athlete who was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer at the age of 47. Ruth had been a runner well over a decade, ate what she thought was a healthy diet when the devastating diagnosis came. Ruth shares how with Dr. John McDougall’s help, she refused chemotherapy, radiation, and medical intervention and instead turned to food as her medicine. She completely went to a whole food plant based diet over night. The results of the dietary change were so powerful that, not only did she eradicate the cancer, she decided to add biking and swimming to her running to become a triathlete. Exactly two years later, she crossed the finish line of the Kona Ironman Triathlon, becoming the first vegan to do the Ironman. Ruth went on to do the Ironman 5 more times and is the winner of more than 900 trophies, 8 Gold Medals in the U.S.Senior Olympics, and 67 marathons including Boston, New York, & Moscow. She has also been named One of the Ten Fittest Women in North America. She is also the author of A Race for Life, Senior Fitness, The CHEF Cook/Rawbook, Lifelong Running: How to Overcome the 11 Myths of Running & Live a Healthier Life, and her latest book, Cure, Reverse & Prevent ED: Ten ways to Total Sexual Fitness. Learn more about Ruth at http://ruthheidrich.com. This was such a delightful and touching interview and I can't wait to meet Ruth this fall when I speak at the Vegetarian Society of Hawaii. You will find this conversation an inspiration regardless of your age. Her spirit and tenacity are contagious and I was blessed to speak to her.

  Cerebral Palsy http://learntruehealth.com/cerebral-palsy/ Cerebral Palsy: Breaking The Barriers There are so many misconceptions about people who have cerebral palsy. Win Charles, is one awesome woman who will show us how she strives to live a fulfilling life devoid of medication. I am excited about today's show because despite the fact that Charles was born with a disability, her health journey is truly inspiring. Born With Cerebral Palsy "Cerebral palsy is a lack of oxygen at birth which is what I acquired. When I was born, I only weighed one pound and 17 ounces," shares Charles. Honestly, I didn't know much about cerebral palsy. I assumed that if someone were in a wheelchair, those people would immediately have spasms or tremors. Common Misconceptions I initially thought people with cerebral palsy are less intelligent than those without the condition. Yes, I admit, I was wrong. In fact, one of my favorite TV show, "Speechless," served as an eye-opener for me. The TV show stars Micah Fowler, who incidentally has cerebral palsy. I think it was brilliant that the production team opted to cast a real person with cerebral palsy rather than casting an actor who would just act out the part. It's cool, right? "Micah Fowler, the actor in the TV show Speechless, has a severe form of cerebral palsy. He can't function at all," Charles explains. She adds, "In my case, I have a hundred muscle spasms a day. And I try my best to control them without taking opioids." Aside from Fowler, one of my favorite comedians also happens to have cerebral palsy. And I must say, he is spot-on funny! So, lesson learned. Just because someone has cerebral palsy, it doesn't mean that people who have cerebral palsy are mentally slow or incapable. Effects Of Opioids Doctors incidentally prescribed the drug to Charles from 2006 to 2009. For those who are unaware, the most common opioid usually taken by people with cerebral palsy is Baclofen. "Baclofen is a muscle spasm and muscle relaxer. In 2009, my family noticed the medication was making me act like a zombie," recalls Charles. Charles for sure is not the only person to experience the adverse effect of opioids.  Why medical doctors continue to prescribe it to patients is truly appalling. Nevertheless, Charles' mom was adamant. Charles vividly recalls that her mother firmly told the doctors to take Win off the medication. Finding The Right Doctor Aside from opioids, Baclofen is a common drug for people with cerebral palsy. Nowadays, doctors go as far as prescribing it to people with back pain or muscle spasms. Traditional doctors are quick to prescribe medication rather than explore other options like physical therapy. So it is best to find a doctor who listens to you. If a doctor tells you something, please voice out. Get a second opinion. Be brave enough to explore different alternatives that work and are more efficient. Traditional Medicine Vs. Natural Medicine "My mom had a book where she noted all my surgeries and medications," Charles said. "She knew too much anesthesia in my body was not good." Incidentally, Charles also mentioned that she felt a great impact after hearing my Episode #137 where I had Dr. Cilla Whatcott on the show. Charles remembered her mom who was hospitalized for some time due to meningitis but believed in her body's ability to heal itself naturally. "Meningitis can be cured through Holistic Medicine. But traditional medicine thinks otherwise," said Charles. "Hopefully, that line of thought will change in the future." Trailblazer For Cerebral Palsy And how does someone like Charles cope with her health condition? First and foremost, Charles stays away from opioids and other drugs. Second, she makes sure to stay active by doing sports. Yes, you read it right. Charles swims, rides a bike, runs and has even competed in the prestigious Kona Ironman Triathlon. However, Charles admittingly says that because of her health condition, she has limited physical capabilities. But that is not stopping her. We truly do not have any excuse for not stepping out of our comfort zone when there are people with disabilities doing impressive feats. Understanding Cerebral Palsy I was likewise surprised to learn from Charles that cerebral palsy can also be acquired by accident. A friend of hers choked on a piece of popcorn when he was two years old. Hence, acquired cerebral palsy and is now non-verbal. Galileo Neuromuscular Tilt Table Charles explains that the device enables patients to be flexible. But because the device is big and bulky, Charles only gets to use the device at the gym. The device used by Charles was donated by Amanda Boxtel who was paralyzed after a skiing accident in 1992. Boxtel currently serves as Executive Director for Bridging Bionics Foundation. According to research, Bridging Bionics Foundation the aims to bridge human mobility with exoskeletons and bionic technology. Thanks to Boxtel's donation, people like Charles can do more than just being wheelchair-bound. Let me just say; I love technology! There is a beautiful marriage that I think we can incorporate ancient healing arts with modern science. But let me make myself clear. Modern science is not the enemy. It's how we use it and making sure that we are using it holistically. Benefits Of Reiki Charles says that willpower and mindset is a big part of dealing with cerebral palsy. She also says that Reiki, the Japanese technique for relaxation and stress reduction also helps because it promotes healing. But honestly, I was previously skeptical about Reiki. Because when I was about 15 years old, I sprained my ankle so bad. Doctors told me I wouldn't be able to walk for two weeks. Then a coworker at my summer job then offered to do Reiki on my ankle. After the painless session, the swelling had gone down, and I stood up. In fact, I remember being so happy that I even started dancing right then and there! I was a full believer in Reiki after that fateful day. Butterflies Of Wisdom Charles started the podcast, "Butterflies of Wisdom," four years ago.  The show was launched right after she wrote her autobiography.

This week’s guest on the Empowering Ability Podcast is Win Kelly Charles. Win was Born with Cerebral Palsy (CP), and has defied the odds by becoming an author, the host of the Butterflies of Wisdom podcast, a competitor in the Kona IronMan Triathlon, CEO of her own jewelry design company, and motivational speaker. Win Charles truly is an inspiration to many. Win is a disability advocate, and openly shares her journey as a person with CP. On the podcast, Win tells us that CP occurs at birth, and isn't genetic (so it isn’t something you will pass on). For Win CP impacts both sides of body; her left hand is weak, and her right leg is weak, and she has undergone 100+ surgeries.  Win is an extremely resilient person, so I ask her; what is the mindset that you carry to be the person that you are?  Win shares that she is “..not named Win for nothing.” Win’s mother named her after her grandmother, who’s name was Winaphin. From the tone in Win’s voice when sharing this story, I could hear the sense of pride and motivation this gives her.  Second, Win was treated like she didn’t have a disability by her parents. Win’s parents put her in the regular classroom, where she was treated as an equal and was able to participate in the same programming as everyone else. From her experience, Win suggests that if possible parents should put their kids in regular classrooms.  The approach that Win takes in her life is to "…….Always, Always, Always, look outside the box.... The solution is never cookie cutter." Win brings out a great point here as many families and people with a disability are constantly facing road blocks, and have to look for different solutions. Look outside the box, as win suggests, don’t take no or the status quo for an answer, be creative and find a different path, find your path!    I ask Win who her mentors were in her life that have made a big impact on her? Win shares that there were a couple of educators who she views as mentors, but the biggest mentors in her life were her Parents. Win again drives home the point that her parents raising her as if she didn't have a disability empowered her to become the woman that she is today.  Take a listen to the podcast to hear our discussion on inclusion, how Win became an author and a podcaster, as well as the messages Win shares on disability advocacy. If you want to learn more about Win’s journey, I recommend you pick up her book ‘I Win; Hope and life as a disabled woman living in a not disabled world’ on Amazon. Win tours the country, speaking to schools and institutions to raise awareness about cerebral palsy, and living a full life no matter what holds you back.  It was a pleasure having Win on the podcast, and if you want to hear more from Win you can Sign up for Win’s newsletter to stay updated on new releases and appearances.   Love & Respect, Eric     How to Contact Win Kelly Charles: Twitter: @WinKellyCharles Win's Art: Click Here Podcast: Butterflies of Wisdom       If you received value from this content please leave me a review on iTunes.

Win Charles, author, podcast host, athlete, entrepenuer and much more faces her Cerebral Palsy daily with each moment possessing challenges that require determination, wisdom, self-love and a good team.  Today she addresses the political landscape of the Republican led Senate and Congress who is destroying healthcare accessibility to all and especially impacting those with disabilities of all kinds.  This claim is not political but rather fact-checkably evidencing how current government places greed and money-making ethics above humane concerns.   Win Charles advocates for humane government for all with any sort of disability.  Additionally, Win Charles inspires all of us to over come our hardships-small, big, huge.   You will listen and be quite moved to dust yourself off and refresh your efforts to live life proactively, dynamically and determinedly.   Advice from Win: Dictate your book into "Notepad" on iphone or android like Win Charles.

Win Charles talks about taking charge of your destiny and moving forward with your dreams and aspirations regardless of the obstacles that present themselves on your way is a perfect example of living spiritually, at least in my book.   Our guest is living her life fully as if she is an able bodied person. She manages to take charge of her life regardless of a disability which is caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain. This can be caused by so many events and everyone can have this disability at any stage of her life. When the term able bodied person is used it means being ‘mainstream' and going through life with people without disabilities.   Win shares her experience of participating in the Kona IronMan Triathlon which taught her how to be in her own body, being her person, learning to say no and how it changed her life. One of the key lessons was the importance of saying no as well as the role of a vision in major life undertakings.   She brings forward an attitude of letting mother nature taking care of the unfolding of events. There is a brief mention of Win's Women of Wisdom podcast where you can get more insights a behind the scenes understanding of Pol's journey. Then Win goes into more details as to living a life with a greater mission and how to live beyond the mechanics of ticking off actions from a to-do list.   Win talks about 2 key moments in which she started to smell the roses. One of them was losing her ability to walk and the second was seeing her mother die. She asked for her mother's approval to write a book about her disability and challenges for which she received approval to do it gracefully. As we continue our conversation the concept of glamorous illnesses is put out there for us to consider the implication this has on people's lives.   As we get into the core of the interview Win goes into the concept of uncertainties, not knowing and facing life without being able to predict what is next. Who doesn't face life without the certainty of what will by their next step? Could your life's event and challenges trigger a journey of soul searching and discovering who you are?   Win's spiritual journey took her from one religion to becoming atheist to finally find a new religion that speaks well with her. Listen to interview to tune in to Win's message and what it means for your life.   'Havens Above' theme music taken from 'Aural Architecture' by alucidnation. www.alucidnation.co.uk / www.fabermusic.com / www.interchill.com .   If you're interested in buying CDs and/or digital then you could use the 'gift' facility via BandCamp:http://alucidnation.bandcamp.com/album/aural-architecture .   To learn more about The Spiritual Voice and our global community visit www.thespiritualvoice.com .
