In this powerful episode, Laura is joined by Dr. Keisha Bentley-Edwards, Associate Professor at Duke University's School of Medicine and Co-Director of Duke CTSI Center for Research, Community Engagement, Social Impact and Trust (CREST Center), for a timely conversation on rethinking resilience. Inspired by Dr. Bentley-Edwards' article "I Am Not (Your) Superwoman, Black Girl Magic, or Beautiful Struggle: Rethinking the Resilience of Black Women and Girls," this episode explores the cultural narratives that celebrate Black women's strength while often ignoring the profound physical, emotional, and psychological costs of relentless resilience. Together, Laura and Keisha unpack the tensions between pride in endurance, cultural expectations like the "Strong Black Woman," and the growing body of research showing how these narratives contribute to health inequities across the lifespan. Dr. Bentley-Edwards offers insight into how expectations of resilience often begin in childhood for Black girls, shaping adult experiences of stress, coping, and wellbeing. The conversation moves beyond critique toward possibility—imagining models of resilience that center sustainable wellness, community care, and structural accountability, rather than individual endurance alone. Dr. Bentley-Edwards also reflects on what Black women can do in service of themselves and Black girls, and what we must collectively demand from systems, institutions, and leaders. Anchored in Season 8's theme, "Leaning Into Joy," this episode invites listeners to consider how joy, rest, alignment, and community are not indulgences, but essential counterweights to harmful expectations of strength.   About Dr. Keisha Dr. Keisha Bentley-Edwards is an Associate Professor at Duke University's School of Medicine and Co-Director of Duke CTSI Center for Research, Community Engagement, Social Impact and Trust (CREST Center). She is also the Associate Director of Research for the Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity. Dr. Bentley-Edwards' research focuses on how racism, gender, and culture influence development throughout the lifespan, especially for African Americans. She is the Chair of the Society for Research in Child Development's Black Caucus. Her research emphasizes cultural strengths, including religiosity, and eliminating structural barriers to support healthy development in communities, families, and students, and in birth outcomes. Her research has been supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, IBM, and the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Bentley-Edwards shares her expertise on the causes and consequences of structural racism and bias on health, education and social outcomes with families, schools, policymakers, practitioners, and the media.   Connect with Dr. Keisha Website: https://www.drbentleyedwards.com/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/kbentleyedwards    BWL Resources: Now enrolling for both the January  sessions of the Early Career and Mid-Career programs.  Learn more at https://blackwomanleading.com/programs-overview/ Full podcast episodes are now on Youtube.  Subscribe to the BWL channel today!

As Mike Milken said on this podcast, “the greatest achievement of humankind in the 20th century, was the doubling of life expectancy.” If living longer seems a powerful goal, the caveat would be only if it goes hand in hand with being healthy whilst being older, AND in not running out of money!In this conversation, Dr Andrew Steele examines, diagnoses, evaluates, and prescribes the implications, actions, benefits, costs and possibilities associated with living longer, healthier lives. He examines the financial and health aspects, the drugs already breaking new ground, why reasons for optimism are well grounded, and the associated leaps in scientific understanding.  Subscribe to stay up to date with our range of fascinating interviews, featuring some of the biggest names in global finance and business!The Money Maze Podcast is kindly sponsored by Schroders, IFM Investors, World Gold Council and LSEG.Sign up to our Newsletter | Follow us on LinkedIn | Watch on YouTube

This episode explores one of the most charged and misunderstood topics in modern wellness: meat, ethics, and our relationship to life and death. I'm joined by Mansal Denton, founder of Real Provisions and creator of Sacred Hunting, for a wide-ranging conversation that challenges how we think about nourishment, stewardship, and responsibility in the natural world.We dig into the realities of animal suffering across different food systems, including wild ecosystems, regenerative farming, and industrial agriculture. Mansal shares why ethical hunting, when done with precision, reverence, and intention, can result in less suffering than many people realize—and why modern food supply chains often hide uncomfortable truths behind marketing labels.From there, the conversation moves into Mansal's personal spiritual journey, including how Orthodox Christianity reshaped his understanding of food as a sacred act. We explore how ritual, beauty, and embodied spirituality intersect with ancient wisdom traditions, and why honoring life requires confronting discomfort rather than avoiding it.We also unpack the nutritional and ecological case for wild game, particularly axis deer from Hawaii, including biodiversity, nutrient density, and population balance. Mansal explains how Real Provisions was born from a desire to feed his family—and future children—with food that aligns with both ethics and physiology.This episode isn't about telling you what to eat. It's about asking better questions: Where does our food come from? What does it cost—physically, spiritually, and ecologically? And how might choosing with more awareness bring us back into right relationship with the world that feeds us.

Is death the end? Millions have felt the departed reach out, but skepticism remains.Grief psychologist and homicide survivor Dr. Jan Canty offers a deeply investigated, compassionate, and affirming exploration of spontaneous after-death communications (ADCs) by blending decades of clinical experience, personal insights, and riveting stories that counter the stigma of this almost-universal phenomenon.As a clinical psychologist, Jan Canty did not believe in ADCs, even after she experienced one when her husband was brutally murdered. But she could not ignore countless stories from her patients and podcast interviewees as they poured in. A presence, vivid dreams, timely signs—these moments comfort, heal, and assure us that death does not terminate; it transforms.For those mourning, providing grief support, or wondering what awaits them on the other side, Rekindled builds a vital bridge between personal experience and science by:Illuminating the historical, scientific, and cultural shifts that shape our understanding of ADCsExploring how ADCs promote healing and restore connectionIntegrating insights from neuroscience and physicsHighlighting a gap in grief intervention tactics and offering practical tools to caregivers and mental health providersSharing firsthand accounts so no one feels alone in what they've seen, heard, or feltRekindled sheds light on the one experience that connects us all. This is a must-read for fans of Dr. Eben Alexander's Proof of Heaven, and an accessible and needed resource for the grieving, as well as counselors and psychologists, hospice workers, death doulas, and clergy.BioA native Detroiter, Jan Canty, PhD, is a psychologist, writer, photographer, educator, consultant, and cancer survivor. She holds a terminal degree in psychology as well as a post-doctoral fellowship from the Wayne State University School of Medicine, Department of Family Medicine. Dr. Canty has taught psychology at all levels—from community college students to postdoctoral interns. She worked as a forensic psychologist in a large mental hospital for several years. Dr. Canty was awarded Faculty of the Year in her second year of teaching graduate school. She received awards for her photography. Life circumstances delivered her to be uniquely qualified to address surviving murder both from a professional and a personal viewpoint. This is the underpinning of her true- crime memoir, A Life Divided (in print and audiobook formats).Her second book, What Now? Navigating the Aftermath of Homicide and Suicide is a reference book. It is the book she wished she had as a new widow. Dr. Canty also launched a podcast for other homicide survivors entitled Domino Effect of Murder in 2020, now heard in fourteen countries, wherein some guests cautiously told their stories for the first time. Others were already center stage, such as Cook County sheriff's lead investigator, Detective Jason Moran, who works to find answers for families awaiting word on the murders committed by serial murderer John Wayne Gacey.In August of About the Author 253 2019, she was the only nonlaw enforcement guest to speak at the International Association for Identification, the oldest and largest forensic association in the world. In addition, she has been a contributor to Death Investigator Magazine, a digital publication for the death- investigator community. Dr. Canty also administers a private Facebook group (Homicide Survivors and Thrivers) for survivors struggling with grief after homicide. These endeavors opened a rich network of consultants who've generously con tributed to this book. Dr. Canty has appeared as a guest on many podcasts both in the United States and internationally. She presently lives and works (as a consultant) for the federal government and spends her free time with her family, friends, and two Saint Bernards, and continuing her photography, gardening, writing, and traveling.https://jancantyphd.com/https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2Q1WV3W https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Joint pain is a common concern in pediatric practice. If a child is limping after sports or describes vague aches and pains, it often points to a minor injury or a self-limited condition. But in some cases, joint pain may signal something more serious. The challenge for pediatricians is knowing how to distinguish benign, mechanical causes from symptoms that warrant further evaluation. In this episode, we explain how to identify red herrings versus true red flags in pediatric joint pain. While awaiting a rheumatology referral, we'll talk about what primary care pediatricians can do in the meantime to support children and families facing the possibility of arthritis.    This episode was recorded on the exhibit floor at the 2025 American Academy of Pediatrics National Conference in Denver, Colorado. Angela Chun, MD, is the associate program director for the Division of Rheumatology at Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. She is also an assistant professor at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.  Some highlights from this episode include: The most common reasons for joint pain in children Understanding juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and how it presents Common pitfalls that may lead to misdiagnosis What providers can do in their offices before a referral  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org. 

What if the fatigue, stubborn weight changes, brain fog, inflammation, or burnout you're experiencing isn't a failure of willpower, but a signal that your metabolism is under strain? In this solo episode, Dr. Taz unpacks what metabolic health actually means in the age of GLP-1 medications. She explains why weight loss alone is not the same as healing, and how focusing only on the scale can quietly erode muscle, gut function, hormonal balance, cellular energy, and nervous system resilience.You'll learn why so many people lose weight but still feel exhausted, inflamed, anxious, or disconnected from their bodies. Dr. Taz breaks down the six core metabolic engines that regulate energy, fat storage, blood sugar, hormones, stress response, and longevity, and why ignoring even one of them can stall long-term health.This episode reframes metabolism as a full body system. One that includes the gut microbiome, hormone signaling, mitochondrial function, liver detoxification, muscle health, and the nervous system. When these systems fall out of sync, weight becomes a symptom, not the root issue.Dr. Taz shares: • Why GLP-1 medications support weight loss but do not repair metabolic dysfunction • How up to 25% of weight lost on GLP-1s can come from muscle, impacting long-term health and longevity • Why the gut is the foundation of metabolic health and how digestion, bile flow, and microbiome balance shape hormones and inflammation • How hormone shifts, especially in midlife, can rapidly disrupt blood sugar, cholesterol, energy, and weight • The role of cellular and mitochondrial health in fatigue, brain fog, and metabolic slowdown • Why liver function is central to detoxification, fat metabolism, and insulin regulation • How stress and nervous system dysregulation can drive cravings, poor sleep, and metabolic instability • How to identify which metabolic engine needs attention first so your plan stays targeted and sustainableWhether you're currently on a GLP-1, considering one, struggling after coming off, or simply want to build metabolic health that lasts for decades, this episode offers a grounded, integrative roadmap. You don't need to chase trends or stack solutions. You need to understand the system you're living in.You may not control every variable that shaped your metabolism, but you can change how it functions moving forward.Stay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)

Dr. Nathan also highlights the importance of understanding inflammation's complex pathways and offers suggestions for both elimination of root causes and restoration of immune system functionality. The episode provides insights into new diagnostic tools and treatment methodologies for persistent and intrusive health issues.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Neil Nathan, author of “Toxic 2nd Edition: Heal Your Body from Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, and Chronic Environmental Illness.”

In this episode, Dr. Wael Barsoum, Professor of Surgery at Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine and President and Chief Transformation Officer at HopCo, shares insights from his career leading Cleveland Clinic Florida and growing HopCo into the largest musculoskeletal specialty group in the U.S., offering lessons on strategic leadership, innovation, and improving health care outcomes.

What a profound conversation this was—a real unpacking of principles, where the philosophical meets the deeply practical.   The core of this whole thing, as we dug into with Ann Cecil-Sterman, revolves around the true action of herbs, which—from the Taoist lineage we follow—comes down to pure taste, not just some chemical breakdown. It's that deeper "flavor sensing in the stomach." My journey with Superfeast has been about living the great Yin-Yang puzzle: holding the intense contrast between deep Taoist tradition and the necessary reductionist language for Western practitioners. That dance is what yields the "pearls of reciprocity"—the philosophical gifts you get from the endeavor itself.   On a much deeper, personal layer, we dove into the conversation of living one's true blueprint—that invisible path that keeps calling you—and the absolute non-negotiable commitment to staying engaged with your purpose, no matter what external role the world tries to pin on you (like "CEO").   Finally, we hit the essential travel principles. Ann gave a brilliant reminder about how much flying is a test of our fluids. To counter the hyper-dry, sterile air of planes, the trick isn't just plain water (which is a clearer that goes straight through), but what we call slow fluids or wet food (think congees, soups, stews) to ensure that constant, deep hydration. It also requires the mental discipline of non-busyness: cultivating stillness and focusing on your main job rather than jumping into "tourist mode." It's about being a "Fremen flyer" and absorbing the wisdom of a place by simply being still. If you're ready for a reminder to stay engaged with your deepest purpose and learn essential travel health principles, this episode is for you.   Takeaways: [00:00:28] Herbal Action is Taste-Governed: In Classical Chinese Medicine, herbs act mainly through taste and the stomach's "flavor sensing," not chemical constituents alone. [00:03:46] The Yin-Yang Puzzle in Business: Balancing Taoist tradition with Western chemical language creates "pearls of reciprocity"—unexpected philosophical rewards. [00:04:21] Living Your True Blueprint: Stay aligned with your personal purpose and express it in any role, even as a CEO. [00:10:30] Travel's Primary Rule: Hydration: Air travel severely depletes fluids due to dry cabin air, making deep, constant hydration essential. [00:11:02] Mindful Travel: Cultivate Stillness: Avoid over-scheduling; cultivate stillness, meditate, and stay focused on your core purpose while traveling. [00:12:04] Classical Medicine's 30-Year Plan: Three stages—10 years of practice, 10 years of writing, and 10 years of mentoring new teachers. [00:17:11] Water is a "Clearer," Not a "Hydrator": Plain water flushes waste quickly but does not provide deep, lasting hydration. [00:17:55] The Power of Wet Food (Slow Fluids): Soups, congees, and stews support deep hydration through slow digestive absorption.   Practical Engagement: Prioritize Slow Fluids: Especially before and during travel, replace plain water with "slow fluids" or wet foods like congees, porridges, soups, or stews to ensure deep, sustained hydration. Practice Mindful Travel: When you travel, limit your scheduled activities (e.g., "one museum" rule) to cultivate stillness, meditate, and focus on your core purpose rather than jumping into "tourist mode." Sip, Don't Gulp: If drinking plain water on a plane, keep it coming in small sips continuously throughout the flight, not in large, isolated glasses. Cover Your Skin: Treat flying like being a "Fremen flyer." Wear covering clothes to protect your skin and minimize moisture loss in the dry cabin air.   Resources Classical Medicine Academy: anncecilsterman.com Instagram: Follow @anncecilsterman on instagram for updates.  

Mike Jay's Psychonauts: Drugs and the Making of the Modern Mind (Yale UP, 2023) is a provocative and original history of the scientists and writers, artists and philosophers who took drugs to explore the hidden regions of the mind. Until the twentieth century, scientists investigating the effects of drugs on the mind did so by experimenting on themselves. Vivid descriptions of drug experiences sparked insights across the mind sciences, pharmacology, medicine, and philosophy. Accounts in journals and literary fiction inspired a fascinated public to make their own experiments--in scientific demonstrations, on exotic travels, at literary salons, and in occult rituals. But after 1900 drugs were increasingly viewed as a social problem, and the long tradition of self-experimentation began to disappear. From Sigmund Freud's experiments with cocaine to William James's epiphany on nitrous oxide, Mike Jay brilliantly recovers a lost intellectual tradition of drug-taking that fed the birth of psychology, the discovery of the unconscious, and the emergence of modernism. Today, as we embrace novel cognitive enhancers and psychedelics, the experiments of the original psychonauts reveal the deep influence of mind-altering drugs on Western science, philosophy, and culture.

Kristi Henderson invented telehealth at the University of Mississippi Medical Center decades before anyone thought healthcare needed it. While her colleagues were optimizing traditional clinic workflows, Kristi was asking a different question: What if geography didn't dictate healthcare access? By the time the pandemic forced everyone else to figure out virtual care overnight, she'd already spent two decades perfecting it. What makes her approach distinctive isn't just her track record at Amazon, Ascension, and Optum. It's that she worked every level of the healthcare system for 24 years before reaching the C-suite. She understands frontline friction because she lived it. At Amazon, Kristi discovered a framework that changed everything: one-way doors versus two-way doors. Some decisions are irreversible and demand precision. Others are experiments where failure means pivoting fast. That distinction became her playbook for tackling problems most leaders won't touch. But her most counterintuitive move? When she became CEO of Confluent Health, her first hire wasn't a CFO or COO. It was a leader for internal communications. Because brilliant transformation plans fail without deliberate stakeholder engagement. Change happens at the speed of trust. Now Kristi is betting on something that sounds almost naively optimistic: that AI will finally give clinicians their time back by eliminating friction, not replacing human connection. She uses AI daily as her "sidekick" and is building an organization where technology supercharges what only humans can do. Key Takeaways: Why Kristi kept raising her hand for jobs no one else wanted and how taking the hardest assignments became her competitive advantage The Amazon framework that changed everything: one-way doors versus two-way doors, and how to know which type of decision you're making What "change happens at the speed of trust" actually means in practice when you're transforming organizations Kristi's "reverse innovation" approach: why bottoms-up transformation consistently outperforms top-down mandates The counterintuitive first hire Kristi made as CEO, and why communication infrastructure matters more than most leaders realize How to handle naysayers strategically instead of avoiding them or trying to convince them Why Kristi believes the workforce crisis isn't permanent if leaders focus on the right problem The specific ways Kristi uses AI daily as a CEO, and why she sees it as the key to bringing joy back to clinical practice About the Guest Kristi Henderson, DNP, is CEO of Confluent Health, a family of physical therapy and occupational therapy companies. She spent the first 24 years of her career as a practicing nurse practitioner before pioneering telehealth at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, long before the pandemic made it mainstream. Kristi has since led digital transformation at Ascension Health, built clinical operations for Amazon Care, and served as CEO of Optum Everycare. She's Board Chair of the American Telemedicine Association and affiliate faculty at Dell Medical School and the University of Washington School of Nursing. Her career has been defined by raising her hand for challenges others declined and building tech-enabled care models that improve outcomes while reducing clinician burden.

Advancing longevity research is about honoring the value of life—and translating that respect into evidence-based prevention. If healthcare is judged by life expectancy + quality of life, longevity medicine may be one of the most meaningful metrics we can pursue: extending health span through early detection, validated biomarkers, and interventions that scale.This unforgettable Expert Panel from the 4th annual Medical Innovation Olympics (#MIO2025) convened all-star global leaders in Longevity and Preventive Medicine who separated hype from reality and outlined what it will take to bring longevity into mainstream care - rigorously, ethically, and accessibly.Topics include: breakthroughs (including epigenetic approaches pointing toward functional restoration of eyesight), biomarkers/endpoints as the “keystone” for faster trials, the TAME (Targeting Aging with Metformin) concept, and the role of standards, education, trust, and shared responsibility—keeping dignity central.Panelists:Dr. David Barzilai (Harvard Medical School; Geneva College of Longevity Science, GCLS) • Dr. Dominik Thor (President, GCLS) • Dr. Mishkat Shehata (Emirates Lifestyle & Longevity Medicine Society) • Keith Comito (Lifespan Research Institute) • Dr. Uma Senthilkumar (Three Five Revive)

What draws someone with a big heart and endless curiosity into the narrowing path of medicine, and how do they reclaim their multifaceted self amid burnout and systemic challenges?In this Echo Episode, Dr. Andrea Austin talks with Dr. Amanda River about her unconventional journey in emergency medicine, from medical school friendships to leading a cannabis clinic and pursuing lifestyle medicine. Amanda reflects on her sister's Ewing sarcoma diagnosis that sparked her interest in medicine, the sacrifices of medical training, and the pride and frustrations of EM practice. They discuss the pathology of long hours, sleep deprivation myths, understaffing, and metrics that prioritize billing over patient care, while exploring ways to align personal values with professional life.You'll hear how they:Unpack the roots of burnout in EM, from value misalignments to unsafe staffing ratiosChallenge limiting beliefs in medical training, like 80-hour weeks and "scut work" that wastes physician expertiseAdvocate for system redesigns that empower teams, respect boundaries, and integrate patient voices for better outcomesFind hope in diverse career paths, from rural locums to cannabis and lifestyle medicine, to sustain joy in healthcareIf you're an EM physician questioning the status quo or seeking ways to realign your practice, this honest conversation offers insights into building a more humane system.About the Guest:“Emergency medicine is a mindset, not a place.” – Dr. Amanda RiverDr. Amanda River is an emergency medicine physician credentialing at a critical access hospital in rural Iowa, with locums experience in Oregon and Guam's public hospital. A former owner and medical director of a private cannabis medicine clinic, she is also board-certified in lifestyle medicine and passionate about integrating holistic approaches into EM. Her journey reflects a commitment to values-driven care, from farm roots to global practice.

What if the most powerful health checkup you ever had happened at your kitchen table, not a clinic? We sit down with Dr. Natasha Milinkovic, a UK physician who moved from the front lines of vascular surgery and emergency medicine to the leading edge of preventive care, to explore how lab‑grade at‑home blood testing and intelligent coaching can change outcomes before a crisis hits.We start with the problem he saw repeatedly: people arriving late with preventable chronic disease. That urgency drives a practical roadmap for what to measure and why. You'll hear a clear breakdown of high‑value biomarkers—HbA1c for glucose trends, ApoB and the ApoB to ApoA1 ratio for cardiovascular risk, and thyroid markers for therapy tuning—and why total cholesterol alone often misleads. Tosh explains how accuracy is maintained through CLIA‑accredited labs and transparent methods, addressing trust in a post‑Theranos world. We also dig into biological age: how markers like hs‑CRP, HbA1c, and sex hormones push it up or down, and the specific lifestyle levers that can nudge it younger over the next 90 days.Then we open the hood on Sai, an AI longevity expert trained on a clinician‑curated knowledge base. Instead of scraping the noisy web, Sai reads your longitudinal labs, medications, and context to deliver personalized, evidence‑based guidance. Think trend detection for creeping glucose, stubborn ApoB, or hidden inflammation—and concrete next steps that you can take today. Looking ahead, Tosh shares what's next: home hardware that brings instant panels into your routine and a vision of predictive health where alerts trigger action long before symptoms do.If you want to cut through hype, track the markers that matter, and pair credible data with smart coaching, this conversation will give you the playbook. Subscribe, share with a friend who's optimizing their health, and leave a review with the one biomarker you plan to track this year.Note: I am an advisor to Siphox but I only advise those companies whose products I would use for myself and family.https://siphoxhealth.com/lufkinFASTING CHALLENGE: https://robert-lufkin.mykajabi.com/fast?ref=RLLies I Taught In Medical School : Free sample chapter- https://www.robertlufkinmd.com/lies/Complete Metabolic Heart Scan (LUFKIN20 for 20% off) https://www.innerscopic.com/Fasting Mimicking Diet (20% off) https://prolonlife.com/Lufkin At home blood testing (20% off) https://siphoxhealth.com/lufkin Web: https://robertlufkinmd.com/X: https://x.com/robertlufkinmdYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/robertLufkinmdSubstack: https://robertlufkinmd.substack.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertlufkinmd/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertlufkinmd/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@robertlufkinThreads: https://www.threads.net/@robertlufkinmdFacebook: ...

Is death the end? Millions have felt the departed reach out, but skepticism remains.Grief psychologist and homicide survivor Dr. Jan Canty offers a deeply investigated, compassionate, and affirming exploration of spontaneous after-death communications (ADCs) by blending decades of clinical experience, personal insights, and riveting stories that counter the stigma of this almost-universal phenomenon.As a clinical psychologist, Jan Canty did not believe in ADCs, even after she experienced one when her husband was brutally murdered. But she could not ignore countless stories from her patients and podcast interviewees as they poured in. A presence, vivid dreams, timely signs—these moments comfort, heal, and assure us that death does not terminate; it transforms.For those mourning, providing grief support, or wondering what awaits them on the other side, Rekindled builds a vital bridge between personal experience and science by:Illuminating the historical, scientific, and cultural shifts that shape our understanding of ADCsExploring how ADCs promote healing and restore connectionIntegrating insights from neuroscience and physicsHighlighting a gap in grief intervention tactics and offering practical tools to caregivers and mental health providersSharing firsthand accounts so no one feels alone in what they've seen, heard, or feltRekindled sheds light on the one experience that connects us all. This is a must-read for fans of Dr. Eben Alexander's Proof of Heaven, and an accessible and needed resource for the grieving, as well as counselors and psychologists, hospice workers, death doulas, and clergy.BioA native Detroiter, Jan Canty, PhD, is a psychologist, writer, photographer, educator, consultant, and cancer survivor. She holds a terminal degree in psychology as well as a post-doctoral fellowship from the Wayne State University School of Medicine, Department of Family Medicine. Dr. Canty has taught psychology at all levels—from community college students to postdoctoral interns. She worked as a forensic psychologist in a large mental hospital for several years. Dr. Canty was awarded Faculty of the Year in her second year of teaching graduate school. She received awards for her photography. Life circumstances delivered her to be uniquely qualified to address surviving murder both from a professional and a personal viewpoint. This is the underpinning of her true- crime memoir, A Life Divided (in print and audiobook formats).Her second book, What Now? Navigating the Aftermath of Homicide and Suicide is a reference book. It is the book she wished she had as a new widow. Dr. Canty also launched a podcast for other homicide survivors entitled Domino Effect of Murder in 2020, now heard in fourteen countries, wherein some guests cautiously told their stories for the first time. Others were already center stage, such as Cook County sheriff's lead investigator, Detective Jason Moran, who works to find answers for families awaiting word on the murders committed by serial murderer John Wayne Gacey.In August of About the Author 253 2019, she was the only nonlaw enforcement guest to speak at the International Association for Identification, the oldest and largest forensic association in the world. In addition, she has been a contributor to Death Investigator Magazine, a digital publication for the death- investigator community. Dr. Canty also administers a private Facebook group (Homicide Survivors and Thrivers) for survivors struggling with grief after homicide. These endeavors opened a rich network of consultants who've generously con tributed to this book. Dr. Canty has appeared as a guest on many podcasts both in the United States and internationally. She presently lives and works (as a consultant) for the federal government and spends her free time with her family, friends, and two Saint Bernards, and continuing her photography, gardening, writing, and traveling.https://jancantyphd.com/https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2Q1WV3W https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
