Podcast appearances and mentions of michelle howard

This episode is brought to you by Levels, Bon Charge, and Ollie, For years, many have believed that cancer is primarily genetic or just bad luck, but emerging research suggests we have far more control over our risk than previously thought. Dr. Thomas Seyfried's groundbreaking work reframes cancer as a metabolic dysfunction, focusing on its root cause rather than just treating symptoms. While controversial, this approach offers new hope for both practitioners and patients seeking alternative strategies for prevention and treatment. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we're bringing you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru's conversations with Dr. Thomas Seyfried and experts from the Hippocrates Research Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to continuing Dr. Seyfried's work by educating cancer patients on metabolic-based treatment approaches. Dr. Seyfried explores the role of oxidative stress, mitochondrial health, and glucose in cancer development and progression, along with his research on ketogenic diets as a promising solution to correct these imbalances. Den Stacey shares his journey of seeking guidance from the Hippocrates Research Foundation—ultimately becoming cancer-free. The Hippocrates Research Foundation team—Daniel Orrego, Dr. Gregory Howard, and Dr. Michelle Howard—discuss their research and their approach to guiding cancer patients by implementing a protocol designed to starve cancer while fueling the body. Dr. Thomas Seyfried is an American professor of biology, genetics, and biochemistry at Boston College. With over 150 peer-reviewed publications, his research focuses on the mechanisms driving cancer, epilepsy, and neurodegenerative diseases, as well as the role of calorie-restricted ketogenic diets in their prevention and treatment. He is the author of Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer and serves on the editorial boards of Nutrition & Metabolism, Neurochemical Research, Journal of Lipid Research, and ASN Neuro. In this episode, Dhru and his guests dive into: The role of mitochondrial dysfunction in cancer (04:05) The promise of the ketogenic diet and its impact on cells (09:58) How the ketogenic diet cuts off cancer's fuel sources (20:37) Den Stacey's email about his experience with Dr. Seyfried's protocol (26:54) The Press-Pulse protocol used in Den's treatment (30:25) The role of stress reduction as a key part of the protocol (35:31) The benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (38:53) Why pharmaceutical drugs and diet should be used in concert (40:47) What an ideal cancer treatment team looks like (46:31) Testing and evaluating the protocol in real-world cases (56:39) Recognizing the success of the case study and the next steps (59:42) Final thoughts (01:02:01) Also mentioned: Full episode with Dr. Thomas Seyfried Full episode with Den Stacey This episode is brought to you by Levels, Bon Charge, and Ollie, Right now, Levels is offering my listeners an additional 2 FREE months of the Levels annual Membership when you use my link, levels.link/DHRU.

Everybody in the workshop process experiences some element of vulnerability.The client is taking a risk on your skills and the outcomes that might emerge from using them. The participants are taking a risk in showing up, bringing what they bring to the room, and trusting (or fighting) the process. You — the facilitator — is taking a risk on your work, reputation, and ability.So why should we expect any of us to be the perfect picture of confidence throughout?Michelle Howard helps me understand the value of vulnerability (and its inevitability) in this episode, explaining the dance between power and vulnerability that happens in workshops — no matter who you are.Find out about:Why vulnerability and courage are two sides of the same coinUnderstanding how our individual actions can be responses to and prompts for the collectiveWhy a facilitator built of 100% confidence is unlikely to produce great resultsHow community acts as a crucial filter for the shiny new objects/tools/trends in facilitationWhy addressing individual needs makes a big difference to the whole groupHow to help clients relax their desire for the safest route and embrace the risk of empowering the groupDon't miss the next episode: subscribe to the show with your favourite podcast player.And download the free 1-page summary, so you can always have the key points of this episode to hand.Links:Watch the video recording of this episode on YouTube.Collaborations, Michelle's company.Connect to Michelle:On LinkedIn.Support the show:Make a one-off donation and contribute to the ongoing costs of running the podcast.Support the showCheck out the podcast map to see the overview of all podcast episodes: https://workshops.work/podcast-map

Hey friends, Britt here. Changing up the show notes for this one. Today's episode is incredibly special to me because I get to introduce you to my own mama, Michelle Howard. Coming from rocky beginnings, she was a teen mom who chose life for her daughter - me - and that life has lead us, in many ways, to growing up together.  As an adult now, I clearly see how our stories are so uniquely intertwined. You can't have one without the other, and the beauty of that is how we've learned to love and trust and extend much grace along the way. The faithful hand of Jesus is written all over her life and mine, and I cannot wait to share some of that with y'all today. Michelle Howard is wife to Shawn and mama to Brittany and Brianna. When she's not traveling for work as the Director of Nursing Simulation for Rasmussen University, you can find her elbow deep in her latest craft project, doting on her four grandchildren, or dreaming of the ocean from her home in landlocked Missouri. Connect with her on Instagram @shellmae7. In this episode, Britt talks with her mom, Michelle, about: Her difficult childhood and the path that led her into drug addiction and teen pregnancyThe radical, saving love of Jesus that changed her heartThe struggles of blended family life and finding ways to make it work, even when difficultLearning to parent as a young mom and the transition into parenting adult childrenAdvice for other young or single moms and the communities that surround them.“Your life isn't over. This one thing doesn't define you…Be strong. Set a goal and be strong.” - Michelle Howard“Invest in someone's life this week, sister." - Brittany SmithIf you've resonated with the She is Kindred podcast, would you take a moment to rate and review us on Spotify, or iTunes?

“When you have a diverse team, you get different perspectives that help you succeed. It's about having a team that has lots of ideas and grabbing the best one—that's what diversity brings you.” Admiral Michelle Howard Highest ranking female officer in US Navy history   The artwork: Howard's portrait in the Fearless Portrait project consists of an Ink  drawing on a map of Washington, D.C. The Pentagon, where she served for part of her career, is on her lapel. On her chest is a bright medley of colors, representing the many awards she earned for her distinguished service.   The story: In April 2009, Rear Admiral Michelle Howard was aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Boxer commanding an anti-piracy task force when the call came in:  Somali pirates had hijacked the American cargo ship MV Maersk Alabama 300 miles off the coast of Somalia and taken its captain—Richard Philips—hostage. The pirates removed Phillips from the ship and were speeding him to the shore in a life raft.  “It was obvious that if they got to shore with Captain Phillips, we were probably not going to get him back,” says Howard. So she and her team devised a tactical plan to rescue him.  It was a unique situation for Howard. Pirates hadn't seized an American-flagged vessel since 1821 and Howard herself was just three days into her job leading Combined Task Force 151 (CTF-151)—a multinational task force countering piracy around Somalia's “Pirate Alley.” Immediately prior to her assignment to the Gulf of Aden to command CTF-151, she was serving in Washington, D.C. as a senior advisor to the Secretary of the Navy.  “We were all trying to figure out how best to handle the mission,” she says. “We had an American citizen trapped on a life raft with pirates. In that circumstance you cannot even sleep. How could I possibly sleep when that poor man is out there, not knowing if he is going to live or die?” Howard needed to get the pirates to stop moving without getting Phillips killed. Long an advocate for the power of diverse groups to generate innovative ideas, she gathered a team onboard her flagship to strategize Phillips' rescue. “We needed to have folks outside the immediate problem give us different perspectives,” she said. The team she assembled included the ship's meteorologist, a Somali interpreter who advised on culture, a former FBI agent, some marines, and enlisted sailors. She insisted on the sailors being present, “because they're the people who make things happen on deck.”  The result was a creative solution that employed the destroyer USS Bainbridge to make waves, pushing the raft away from the coast and giving Navy SEAL snipers an opportunity to kill the pirates.  The successful rescue later inspired the 2013 movie “Captain Phillips,” starring Tom Hanks.   In 2014, Howard became the first woman promoted to the rank of four-star admiral in the US Navy. Concurrently, she was named vice-chief of naval operations (VCNO), the second-highest ranking officer in the navy.    Background on Howard: Howard was born into a military family on April 30, 1960 at March Air Reserve Base in California. The drive that propelled Howard to the highest echelons of the navy came in part from her mother. When Howard was 12 years old, she knew she wanted to attend a service academy, but they didn't accept women. Her mother encouraged her not to give up on her dream, saying, “if you still want to go when you're old enough to apply and if they're still closed to women, we'll sue the government.”  In the end, the Naval Academy opened to women in 1976, two years before Howard completed high school. Howard graduated from USNA in 1982 with her bachelor's degree.  Becoming the first woman to earn the rank of “full admiral” was just one of many firsts Howard achieved throughout her career in the navy. She assumed command of USS Rushmore in 1999, becoming the first black woman to command a ship in the navy. She was the first female graduate of the US Naval Academy to reach flag rank, becoming a rear admiral (lower half) in 2007, and then the first woman to reach rear admiral (2010) and vice admiral (2012). Following her service as VCNO, she went on to command the US Naval Forces Europe and Naval Forces Africa, becoming the first female four-star admiral to command operational forces.  Howard retired in 2017, after nearly 36 years of service in the US Navy.    Music: This episode contains music by Geovane Bruno and Zakhar Valaha.   Sources:  Billups, A.

My guest is Michelle Howard! A Registered Nurse from British Columbia Canada who has bravely worked the emergency rooms and trauma centers of BC's largest hospitals.  Watching two of her three daughters entering the nursing workforce has lit a spark in her to be the mentor that so many nurses need in their early careers to create an environment that supports them and protects them from the bullying that so commonly takes place in our health care system.  Michelle is inspiring, self aware, and honest as she takes us through her own journey of what I can only take away as hope in this career. Hope  that balance and health is indeed a real possibility for all of us. Critical to her ability to thrive in this exhausting and demanding career has been her capacity to adapt her work life to fit her lifestyle and her needs vs the other way around and is clear on the importance of knowing our values and setting boundaries for ourselves.One of the most valuable resources Michelle notes for herself has been the connection and group support she found through her church group and the program she has found so much healing and growth through mirrors that which is provided through the Nurse Rx Program.If you'd like to learn more about Sandra Payne Wellness and the Nurse Rx Program you can go to https://wellness360coach.com/sandra-payne/ or follow Sandra Payne on FB https://www.facebook.com/sandrapaynewellness/or IG.If you'd like to join our private FB support group Surviving Nursing please do https://www.facebook.com/groups/638818697054847/If you would like to be a guest on the End the Silence Podcast to share your story and offer hope and inspiration to our colleagues,  I welcome you to contact me at sandra.payne.wellness@gmail.com Together we are stronger

Michelle Howard was born in the year 1960 and graduated from high school in Aurora, Colorado.  She went on to the U.S. Naval Academy in Maryland and graduated from there in 1982. She would go on to become the first female graduate of the United States Naval Academy to earn the title of admiral.

Admiral Michelle Howard exhibits grace, strength, and clear-mindedness under extreme pressure.  In order to become that kind of unwavering force amidst the unpredictable winds and waters of life, we must begin to practice those “deep breaths” that she has perfected. Admiral Michelle Howard, the current Vice Chief of Naval Operations, is highly esteemed and decorated in a field that involves an exceptional amount of risk and pressure. In addition to being the first African-American woman to command a ship in the U.S. Navy, Admiral Howard is well known for her role in leading the international task force responsible for rescuing Captain Phillips from Somali pirates. She is a true trailblazer who exhibits courage, steadfastness, and a clear mind. Admiral Howard is also the first female ever promoted to the rank of four-star admiral in the Navy’s 236-year history. My hope is that as we listen to her, we too will feel emboldened to face unique pressures in our own lives, dare to dream beyond the limits of the status quo, and see that her grace under pressure can serve as a beacon to all of us.
