Podcast appearances and mentions of Mari L Mccarthy

— Mari L. McCarthy has experienced the life-changing health benefits of journaling firsthand. When multiple sclerosis (MS) caused her to lose function and feeling in the right side of her body several years ago, she had to face the enormous challenge of teaching herself to write with her left hand. Mari began stream-of-consciousness journaling every day and learned far more than just how to be ambidextrous. She learned that journal writing is physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual therapy and the key to health and happiness. Mari is now journaling each day to restore her right side (as well as the rest of her body) to perfect health. The right side of her body is about 65% functional, and her right-handed writing is legible. Journaling helped her change her diet and her sleep habits, and she feels better than she ever has. She hadn't used prescription drugs in 11 years or over-the counter drugs in five years. Mari knows and loves herself unconditionally, and her relationship with her Self is positive, healthy, and compassionate. Mari will help support and guide you on your personal wellness journey and help you become strong, energetic and full of life. Journaling empowers you to take ownership of your health every day: checking in on your body, mind and spirit and paying attention to what they tell you. Now is your chance to begin a habit that will last a lifetime. Valeria Teles interviews Mari L.

Mari L. McCarthy is the Founder and Chief Empowerment Officer of CreateWriteNow, home of Journaling For The Health Of It™. She shows health-conscious people how to use therapeutic journaling to heal the issues in their tissues and experience, empower and express their true self.

The benefits of journaling are multi-faceted, and vary between individuals. If you have a chronic illness, you may find that the symptoms become less troublesome. Expressive writing has helped people suffering with asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, IBS, and lupus – even cancer and AIDS. It helps many people with different long- term illnesses, because it boosts the immune system. This book evaluates and presents the medical evidence for journaling, which has been steadily growing over the past thirty years. If your life is highly pressured, journaling is an excellent stress- management tool. Stress is a huge factor in many physical and mental health problems and compromises the immune system. Therapeutic writing appears to have a protective effect against stress and possibly acts as a release valve. Journaling helps you manage your life and avoid burnout. If you have many responsibilities at work and at home, and have to juggle the needs of children or elderly parents with a demanding career, you can easily become weary. Paradoxically, therapeutic writing will help you avoid exhaustion by learning to prioritize tasks and care for your own needs holistically. You will learn to live life proactively and mindfully so that you are not just responding to each and every crisis with a knee-jerk reaction. – says Mari L. McCarthy   Valeria Teles interviews Mari.

Bio:   Mari L. McCarthy is an award-winning and international bestselling author whose books Journaling Power: How to Create the Happy, Healthy Life You Want to Live and Heal Yourself with Journaling Power have introduced people around the world to the power journaling has to help heal the body. After losing feeling and function in the right side of her body in 1998, Mari was diagnosed with MS. Undaunted, she took up a daily journaling practice which over time helped improve her MS symptoms to the extent that she is now an accomplished recording artist with three full-length albums. Mari’s website, CreateWriteNow.com, is the platform she runs to share her methods, expertise and passion for journaling.   Questions:   Can you please share with our audience a bit about your own personal story, and your journey since being diagnosed with MS? What are the key benefits of keeping a journal? Is there any link between journaling and healing? Do you think there’s a connection between your journaling and your music? Can keeping a journal actually improve our health? What are your best tips for someone who has never journaled to start journaling? Is it important to journal using pen and paper, or would a journaling app work just as well?   Links:   CreateWriteNow About Mari McCarthy CreateWriteNow Facebook CreateWriteNow Twitter CreateWriteNow YouTube   Coming up on our next episode:   Coming up next, treat yourself to a morsel of insight from OMS community member Vicky Argyle on Living Well with MS Coffee Break #2, which launches on Monday, April 20.   On the next full-length episode of Living Well with MS, launching May 6, 2020, Geoff Allix  gets a “macro” view on a critically important “micro” topic, Gut Health: Your Microbiome and You, from Kim Venter, a trained teacher, professional psychological counsellor and nutritional consultant, who helps us understand the connection between gut health and the immune system.   Don’t miss out:   Subscribe to this podcast and never miss an episode.

Welcome to our first Living Well with MS Coffee Break episode! We decided to do something a little different in expanding the range of content we produce here at Living Well with MS. Since our community forms the beating heart of Overcoming MS, we are commencing this special series called Coffee Break, which features short interviews with members of the OMS community talking about their personal journeys adopting and staying on the OMS 7 Step Recovery Program, the challenges they encountered and how they overcame them, and their tips and tricks for sticking to the path that leads to better health. We hope you enjoy and learn from these intermezzos between our regular episodes, and as always, your comments and suggestions are always welcome by emailing podcast@overcomingms.org.   Questions:   Can you tell us a little about yourself, your family, your life, where you live and anything about yourself you’d like to share? When were you diagnosed with MS and how long have you been following the Overcoming MS 7 Step Recovery Program? What is your favorite thing about the program, namely what do you feel has made the biggest positive impact? What was your greatest challenge in adopting the OMS program, and how did you overcome it? How have you had to adapt your daily healthy habits to the new realities imposed by COVID-19? Do you have any other tips or tricks you can share with our audience that might help them on their journeys?   Bio:   Maisie lives in the Cotswolds of England where she settled in 2018 after travelling the world and being constantly on the move with the British Army. She has two grown children. In 2016, while training for the Berlin marathon, she noticed numbness in her feet, initially thinking it was due to the stress of marathon prep. The numbness continued to spread and caused her difficulty in walking. Running was out of the question. Six months later, after medical referrals and testing, she was diagnosed with MS. Since then, Maisie has left the Army, discovered OMS and is just about to finish an MSc in Nutritional Therapy. She is back to running and last year completed the London and Snowdonia marathons and took part in the Thames Path Challenge for OMS. She is currently cocooned in the Cotswolds due to COVID-19 and the immune suppressing drugs she is taking for her MS.   Links:   OMS COVID-19 main resource page Excellent COVID-19 resource page from Dr. Gavin Giovannoni   If you post something concerning OMS and COVID-19, especially if it’s a bit of good news during this rough patch, don’t forget to use the hashtag #positivelyOMS.   Coming up on our next episode:   On the next full episode of Living Well with MS, launching April 15, 2020, Geoff Allix explores the power journaling has to help heal the body with Mari L.

Whether one has MS or not, the world is going through an unprecedented and difficult time. So, we have created this special episode of Living Well with MS, featuring Dr. Jonathan White, to better understand the coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic and how it affects people with MS. Please be aware that knowledge of this virus is changing rapidly, and we are presenting the best information that we have at time of recording, but you should check for updates regularly, with your healthcare professionals and from credible sources on the Web, including the links below in the show notes, to ensure that you have the latest advice. And remember, stay safe, healthy and sane while we work our way through this chapter in history.   Questions:   What is Coronavirus/COVID-19? What are the early signs that might indicate you’ve contracted it? What are the key steps you should take if you think you have COVID-19? Is it especially dangerous if you have a condition like MS? Why? We have been hearing a lot about social distancing and self-isolation. Is this especially important for people with MS? What’s the difference between self-isolation and social distancing and what are your recommendations for implementation? Do DMTs affect COVID-19? What happens in these scenarios? Likely low-risk DMTs Likely medium-risk DMTs Likely high-risk DMTs HSCT (Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation) What if I’ve just had a round of treatment… which extra precautions should I take? Possible positive effects of DMTs How do you keep a sound mind and maintain a healthy exercise regimen at a time when things seem so bleak and the world is grinding to a halt? Should I attend hospital visits? I know that in the OMS book, George says not to take multi vitamins. Does this advice still stand during the pandemic if people are struggling to get enough nutrients from food as they either can’t get to a shop or there is very little food in the shops?   Bio:   Dr. Jonathan White, a practicing medical doctor in Belfast, Northern Ireland, also works with Overcoming MS as a medical consultant and event facilitator. You can learn more about Dr. White’s professional background here.   Links:   OMS COVID-19 main resource page Excellent COVID-19 resource page from Dr. Gavin Giovannoni A video on COVID-19 from neurologist Dr. Brandon Beaber A video on COVID-19 from neurologist Dr. Aaron Boster   If you post something concerning OMS and COVID-19, especially if it’s a bit of good news during this rough patch, don’t forget to use the hashtag #positivelyOMS.   Coming up on our next episode:   On the next episode of Living Well with MS, launching April 15, 2020, Geoff Allix explores the power journaling has to help heal the body with Mari L.

We all know that exercise is a key component of healthy living, and particularly important too if you have MS, which is why it plays such a prominent role as one of the steps of the OMS 7 Step Recovery Program. But did you know that when you’re exercising your body, you’re working out your nervous system as well? Our guest on this episode of Living Well with MS, Dr. Gretchen Hawley, will explain neuroplasticity (for us lay people, that’s the brain’s ability to continually change, a sign of brain health) and how exercise can impact it, as well as share her insights on helping people with MS improve their strength, balance and mobility.   Bio:   Gretchen Hawley is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and a Multiple Sclerosis Certified Specialist. After graduating from Simmons University in Boston, she developed a Multiple Sclerosis program alongside two of the city's top MS neurologists. Dr. Hawley utilizes the concept of neuroplasticity to improve strength, balance and walking in those with MS by using specific, functional exercises. She has been a keynote speaker at several National MS Society events and other MS focused conferences in 2018 and 2019 and presents frequently to MS groups. Dr. Hawley brings a keen understanding of the challenges faced by people living with MS and has developed a virtual physical therapy program to help people improve their MS symptoms while in the comfort of their own home and guided by an MS specialist. Dr. Hawley resides in Buffalo with her dog, Finn.     Questions:   How is MS physical therapy different from orthopedic/"regular" physical therapy? What are some of the pitfalls for someone with MS who doesn’t get specialized PT? What is neuroplasticity and how does it work? What are some tips to manage fatigue when exercising, and how can exercise help with fatigue? How do you handle goal setting with your PT? Tell us about your program, MSing Link? How is it designed to help people with MS who don’t have access to a PT who specializes in MS?   Links:   The MSing Link Behind the Scenes Video About Gretchen Hawley   Coming up on our next episode:   On the next episode of Living Well with MS, Geoff Allix explores the power journaling has to help heal the body with Mari L.
