Podcast appearances and mentions of Mark Allen

What would you do if you were told you were diagnosed with cancer and had only 4 to 6 months to live? That's exactly what happened to today's guest. Two and a half years ago, Mark Allen Ruegg was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer that had already spread to his liver and lymph nodes. His doctors hoped chemotherapy could stabilize the cancer and give him more time, but Mark wasn't willing to accept that as the best possible outcome. He wanted to do everything in his power to beat the odds. After discovering the documentary Heal, Mark began taking an integrative approach that combined conventional treatment with major changes to his diet, meditation, spirituality, exercise, stress, and mindset. Within months, his scans showed no evidence of cancer, and even his doctor was stunned when he could no longer find the tumor in Mark's pancreas.  But Mark's story didn't end there. Three months ago, a tumor was discovered in his pancreas again. The fears and unknowns came back with a vengeance, sending him into what he describes as a deep, dark place.  In our conversation, Mark shares how that recurrence forced him to confront his fear, return to the fundamentals of his Healing Recipe, and recognize the missing ingredient he needed most: unwavering faith. We talked about why healing doesn't have to be an either/or choice between conventional and holistic medicine, what it means to surrender without giving up, and how the combination of unwavering faith and extraordinary effort can help you navigate even the most difficult moments of your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why Mark refused to accept a terminal prognosis Combining conventional treatment with an integrative approach The lifestyle changes Mark made after his diagnosis How Mark's cancer disappeared after his initial diagnosis Why Mark believes fear became his greatest challenge What happened when Mark's cancer returned Unwavering faith and extraordinary effort leads to results How to get Mark's Healing Recipe of seven ingredients The journey to becoming someone who fears less Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/650 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

One wolfpacker explains why he dislikes them07:00Mark talks about how to improve your bunker play09:00We've recently talked about great swings, and a wolfpacker reckons we missed Aaron Baddeley circa 98/99.10:30A comment on our Graham Marsh special recently and what his OWGR would have been.12:00And we head to the turn with a mea culpa on an error we made on the show last week, which was inadvertently disrespectful to the Elkington family.

Solastalgia: The pain or distress caused by the loss of, or the inability to derive solace connected to the negatively perceived state of one's home environment (Glenn Albrecht, 2007). For this episode of the Post Growth Australia Podcast (PGAP) co-hosts Mark Allen and Michael Bayliss explore the emotional impact of becoming disconnected from home and place, an experience that can too often be a downstream consequence of the rapid pace of our growth-based culture. Michael and Mark share their own experiences and are joined by two special guests. Ron Birch is a long-time activist based in the Forest of Dean, UK, who among many achievements coordinated the Stratford Park Trees protest in Stroud in the late 1980's. Jeannie Steed, a current resident of Albany who was born in the UK, shares her experience of feeling disconnected from her home country during a recent visit. If you would like to watch footage of the Stratford Park Trees protest and one of the confrontations that they faced, a video is available on YouTube below. We warn that some scenes may be confronting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj_cZ87duoM&t=569s Shifting baseline syndrome describes how each new generation accepts a degraded natural environment as the normal baseline. Coined by fisheries scientist Daniel Pauly in 1995, it explains why people do not notice long-term ecological loss, leading to lowered expectations and less pushbacks against environmental damage. Michael and Mark discuss the challenges of discussing solastalgia, particularly when the sense of loss associated with time and place is deeply personal, difficult to put into words, and hard for others to relate to. This can be especially true for younger generations who do not have the same long-term connection to a particular place. This is concerning during this era of late-stage capitalism, when the rapid pace of change too often results in a deterioration of the natural world. Michael shares his poem, Past, Present and Future, inspired by his experiences of solastalgia and shifting baseline syndrome. The poem can be read in full on the PGAP BLOG This episode also references an article that Michael wrote for “The Overpopulation Project: The Planet Cannot Hold the Weight of 8.2 billion Narratives. Here's Why…” Mark reads an extract from the sermon that was delivered at the recent Whittington Purse Service, an annual event held as part of the St Briavels Bread and Cheese Scramble at St Briavels Church, on the edge of the Forest of Dean. The sermon explicitly mentions the need to transcend the economic growth-based paradigm. To find out more about this ancient ritual, you can access the link HERE. NIMBYism (Not In My Back Yard) is a largely derogatory term often used to describe residents who oppose development in their local area. More recently, it has often been used in contrast to YIMBYism (Yes In My Back Yard). This episode explores NIMBYism as a term and considers how its use can be counterproductive and inflammatory, as it can overlook the emotional connections people have with their neighbourhoods, as well as the social and environmental benefits they provide. Mark and Michael propose that the Retrosuburbia movement, championed by David Holmgren, offers a way to make our suburbs more adaptable while retaining the majority of existing, robust housing. David was interviewed for PGAP's first season, where he discusses Retrosuburbia in further detail - LINK HERE. PGAP invites all listeners to share their solastalgia stories/experiences with us.

Send us Fan MailRev. Sherri James is my guest. She is a mother, spiritual teacher, author and minister with a deep commitment to live practice. For the past nine years, she has been the Senior Minister of Understanding Principles for Better Living in Inglewood, California (“Up Church”). Her work is grounded in daily practices that quietly transform a life over time. She teaches spiritual principles the way they are actually lived – through disruption, repetition, patience and trust. She is also a wealth coach, a financial professional and founder of the Sherri James Company.  Sherri is an avid student of ancient wisdom. She helps bring people closer to their lifelong goals.Sherri is the daughter of a radical Mom (for the time) who is a thinker and a seeker. She insisted on Sherri being a thinker. Her mother - a single mother of three, is an active member of Understanding Principles now, but when Sherri was 13, her mother stopped going to church and told Sherri that what those people were telling her was not the Truth but was rhetoric. This influenced Sherri. Her mother empowered her to choose spirituality but reject the parts that didn't work. She exposed Sherri to Tony Robbins and Les Brown. She knew about Rev. Johnnie Coleman and knew that Della Reese was ordained by Johnnie Coleman.Sherri felt the message of Della Reese was the message for the 21st Century. You could learn a spirituality that was embracing a faith and which embraced other traditions. Sherri attended the Johnnie Coleman Institute. This was deeply appealing to Sherri. In the Summer of 1998, Sherri attended the Panorama of Truth with the intention of seeing Johnnie Coleman, but Mary Tumpkin was the guest speaker that day. And Sherri's life has never been the same. Sherri was a Rev. Mary "groupie". Sherri got grounded in L.A. and was routed there. Rev. Della told Sherri that she had prayed about an Assistant Minister, and God told her it was Sherri.Sherri wrote a children's book based on the Bible story of Elijah and the widow with the oil. Reading that story led her to write on it every day. She came to understand the agency of prayer. Sherri wrote a book with Mark Allen in 2009 called "The Money Poems". The book gives the reader the opportunity to rewrite your money story.Sherri's prayer journals changed her life. In October 2010, she took a job. As an entrepreneur, her identity was crushed by taking a job she hated. She was failing in a sales job at the time when Sherri became Assistant Minister at UP Church. She used the power of affirmations to help her improve her sales and build spiritual momentum. She got promoted several times and ended up with an expense account, and an office. This changed her life.A teenage niece had a baby and needed help. Sherri became his mother when he was 14 months old. Her gestation period was one week. Rev. Della threw a party and Sherri came in late to find out that Della had turned over the church to her. Rev. Sherri had no village to help her raise him. He is now 12 1/2 years old. She has taken him with her while she does her ministry. He is gifted and becoming a young man of whom Rev. Sherri is proud.Rev. Sherri came to "Celebrating Our Soul" ("COS") in 2022 because her peers were going. It was a rich, warm and inviting experience. She was a Master Class presenter in 2024. In 2026, Rev. Sherri said yes to coming on the Planning Team in 2026. She found the conference valuable for her to be in community with other New Thought organizations. It deepened her spiritual experience in New Thought. Support the showDonate – CelesteFrazier.com

A Monday Mini today, and it is inspired by a comment from a wolfpacker who listened to our recent Graham Marsh episode, where Swampy talked about his career - including significant work designing golf courses. They suggested Nick O'Hern and Mark Allen should design a golf course....and we thought, okay, if Nick and Mark were to design a course what elements would they make sure were there, what style of course would it be, what would they build?So we asked.What are the must have elements?What par would the course be, and would it be different in tournament golf (of course).We pick the mix of par 3's, 4's, 5's.Are there any holes at other courses that they might take inspiration from?And a sideline where we chat about the time when Metropolitan Golf Course hosted the World Matchplay, Mark tells a couple of stories.Nick muses over whether the opening hole should be a 'warm handshake' or a 'kick in the teeth'.Mark is a fan of having a quirk on the course, he names a couple of quirks that he likes. He also would like plaques around the course, so it is 'dripping with history'.We discuss the style of clubhouse we'd build, and some of the elements that would be included in the clubhouse.Would there be a driving range? Mark is keen on having a Team Matchplay comp at the course.Nick is keen for the final hole to be a risk/reward hole. Mark agrees, as long as it is not a big green.So there it is. In about 15 minutes, Nick and Mark have designed a cracking golf course (and club house). Now we just need to find $100 million or so and we can build it !Let us know if you reckon we've missed anything that should be included in the course, or if you disagree with any of the inclusions.We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Hostplus, Talk Birdie To Me's official retirement partnerBMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;The Find My Player app - follow every player on every tour;And Southern Golf Club.

Runners have more data, technology, nutrition products, and training advice than ever, so why does Dr. Phil Maffetonebelieve many of us are actually getting slower and less healthy? In this wide-ranging conversation, Phil challenges the resurgence of high-carbohydrate fueling, explains why building a strong aerobic system still matters, and shares how he used heart-rate training decades before it became mainstream. He breaks down the Maffetone Method, why runners should measure training by time rather than miles, and how slowing down today can ultimately help you run faster tomorrow. The conversation also explores the difference between collecting data and actually using it intelligently, along with Phil's belief that diet and metabolic health can quietly undermine even the best training plan. And in classic Phil fashion, the discussion eventually wanders into music, creativity, awareness, and why becoming a better runner may require developing more of yourself than just your legs.

Timestamps 02:12 | What Runners Are Still Getting Wrong Phil argues that despite decades of new research and technology, runners continue to repeat many of the same mistakes around training and nutrition. 03:18 | The Return of High-Carb Fueling The conversation tackles the trend toward extremely high carbohydrate intake during endurance events and Phil's strong disagreement with the direction it's taking. 09:08 | The Heart-Rate Experiment That Changed Everything Phil tells the story of putting an early heart-rate monitor on Mark Allen and asking one of the world's best triathletes to dramatically slow down in order to eventually get faster. 14:44 | Are We Using All This Data Wrong? With runners surrounded by watches and metrics, Phil explains why collecting numbers is very different from using them intelligently. 18:32 | How the Maffetone Method Actually Works Phil explains aerobic heart-rate training, why runners shouldn't necessarily train together at the same pace, and why he prefers measuring training by time instead of mileage. 27:28 | Are Today's Runners Actually Healthier? Despite record-breaking performances at the elite level, Phil argues that the broader running population is getting slower and points to metabolic health and excess body fat as major concerns. 46:16 | Want to Be a Better Runner? Do More Things The conversation expands beyond training as Phil explains how music, creativity, awareness, and a more varied life can contribute to becoming a better athlete and a more complete human.
