Welcome to the #ShareYourHotness Podcast episode 158! Richard Davidson (Alkalarian) 1st * Keynote Speaker, Author, Heart Attack Prevention Advisor, Retired U.S. Navy Diver, CLO (Chief Longevity Officer), I Walk My Talk Richard Davidson was born in 1941 and raised in Salt Lake City, UT. His life journey has been nothing short of extraordinary, marked by a remarkable career in the U.S. Navy and a passion for promoting his own health and wellness through the concept of “Alkalinity”. In 1959, Richard enlisted in the U.S. Navy and demonstrated exceptional dedication and skill, achieving the prestigious rank of Master Chief Petty Officer (MCPO) and Chief Warrant Officer within 10 years. He acquired diving expertise in Para-SCUBA, Mixed Gas, and Hard Hat Diving, as well as qualifying as a Master Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Technician. After a distinguished service of 20 years, he retired from the Navy in 1982 as a Chief Warrant Officer (CWO4). Richard's entrepreneurial spirit led him to own a Sir Speedy Printing Center and as a Book Publisher from 1991 to 1996. During this period, he collaborated with over 700 authors, contributing significantly to the literary landscape. In 1999, Richard became an Associate at the Salt Lake City "Water and Wellness Center," where his journey towards advocating alkaline water and wellness began. Inspired by influential works such as "Alkalize or Die" (1992) by Dr. Theodore A. Baroody and "The pH Miracle" (2002) by Dr. Robert O. Young. Basically, Richard started the "Alkalinity Movement" in 2002. His dedication to promoting alkaline mineral water led to its introduction at the Water and Wellness Center in 2004. In 2007, Richard embarked on a 4-year sabbatical in Missouri, where he immersed himself in learning Dr. Mayr's 100-year-old natural wellness program. His commitment to health took a personal turn in 2009 when he experienced a "Massive Heart Attack." Recognizing the symptoms, he acted swiftly, and due to his active Alkalarian lifestyle, he underwent a successful recovery without any side effects. Richard's passion for educating others about the “alkaline” concept saw him conducting live classes from 2011 to 2015, and virtual classes from 2018 to present, spreading up-to-date awareness about the potential benefits of maintaining a balanced body pH level. Continuing his pursuit of knowledge, Richard explored works like “The Acid Alkaline Food Guide” by Dr Susan E. Brown (2004), "The Alkaline Cure" by Dr. Stephen Domenig (2014) and "Get Off Your Acid" by Dr. Daryl Gioffre (2018), further solidifying his expertise in the field. Richard's passion for wellness and advocacy for the Alkalarian lifestyle led him to establish the "Alkaline Club of America," aiming to certify one million "Alkalarian" individuals. He is currently dedicated to the "Heart Attack Prevention" business, resolute in his mission to save lives and prevent heart-related health issues. With his first book set to be released in 2025, Richard's influence is poised to grow even further. His journey will culminate in a possible TEDx talk and a promising professional speaking career. Richard is associated with influential figures like Jack Canfield, author of "Chicken Soup for the Soul," and actively participates in the National Speakers Association (NSA) Mountain West Chapter, alongside esteemed individuals and worldwide speakers, like Dan Clark and Kathy Loveless. For those seeking to embrace a healthier lifestyle through alkalinity, Richard Davidson is a trustworthy guide. Reach out to him through his website and consider his FREE 15 Minute Wellness Assessment and possibility of joining the Alkalarian movement towards optimal wellness.

You can do anything with the right community behind you, and this week's guest can testify to that. Lourdes was going through an extremely tough time - she was put through the ringer in the military, she found herself in $75k of household debt, and her (now ex) husband kicked her out of her own home. She needed to make a change and FAST. So she reached out to her community, including the Courage Driven Latina community, and her community came through for her.    Lourdes Fernando is a passionate advocate for veterans and a Chicago realtor specializing in VA loans. An 11-year Army National Guard veteran, she empowers fellow veterans, particularly women, to achieve financial independence and stability through the strategic use of their VA benefits. Over 90% of her business focuses on assisting veterans in securing homeownership. Beyond real estate, Lourdes actively engages in community initiatives, serving as chair of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee at Keller Williams Realty. Her dedication has earned her recognition, including the REALTOR® Community Service Award, underscoring her commitment to supporting and uplifting the veteran community.   In this week's episode, Lourdes shares her story of building wealth and community after her military service. She was able to find herself a new home, invest in property, clear out her debt, and save $40k in just a few years. When her previous community fell through, she joined Courage Driven Latina and dove headfirst into studying the VA benefits that are available to her. Now, she helps other vets take full advantage of their benefits and build generational wealth.

Dying for your country has always been considered honorable. But what if “your country” sends you to die—not to defend your hometown—but to keep shipping lanes open for multinational corporations in the Red Sea?Many Christians still see military service as a badge of patriotism, a way to protect home and uphold duty. And with Pete Hegseth now scrubbing the ranks of DEI policies, removing rainbow flags from barracks, and halting transgender enlistment, some believe the military is finally turning a corner. But we need to ask: turning toward what?Because beneath the optics of reform, the machinery still grinds forward—sending Christian sons into foreign deserts and oceans to enforce someone else's “order,” while our own border remains porous and undefended.Here's our argument: Defending your homeland is biblical. Dying for your neighbor is noble. But joining a military that may send your son to fight for diversity slogans—or for the GDP of foreign nations—is not just a personal choice. It's a moral and theological question that Christian families can no longer ignore.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors. You can join our Patreon at patreon.com/rightresponseministries or donate at rightresponseministries.com/donate.So—should you encourage your sons to serve? Or is the current military still too compromised to entrust with their lives? We'll walk through the recent reforms, the foreign entanglements, and what Scripture has to say about loyalty, love of country, and the just use of force.MINISTRY SPONSORS:Reece Fund.

The free episode of the "Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast", is available on their website for free in addition to Apple Podcasts and Spotify, as well as through other podcast platforms. Murray's ordeal began when he was arrested by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office on charges of felony theft related to military leave as a reservist and member of the National Guard.

He reached his 20-year military anniversary in December 2022, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to serving his country. Murray began his tenure at the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office in 2009. However, tension arose quickly between him and a supervising sergeant regarding his military leave obligations. According to Murray, the hostility escalated, resulting in punitive measures, including an extended probation period that coincided with his military duties. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms Murray sought assistance from Human Resources and the Fraternal Order of Police, aiming to address the perceived unequal treatment. Despite his efforts, the situation deteriorated. By 2014, he was instructed to change a military leave day to personal leave or face disciplinary action. When he complied, his request was denied, and a formal complaint was filed against him. The Arrest, They Settled The Lawsuit, Arrested By His Agency. In June 2014, Murray received orders to attend military training at Fort Devens in Massachusetts. Before departing, he used personal leave to spend time with his family.

The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. The arrest sent shockwaves through local news, with outlets quickly publishing reports of the incident.

The Sheriff's Office alleged that Murray had submitted falsified military leave requests, an accusation that cast a long shadow over his career. Murray later discovered that the Sheriff's Office had been monitoring his personal Facebook account, using family photos to build a case against him. These images were misrepresented as evidence of Murray misusing his military leave. The actions were not officially acknowledged or addressed by the agency. Check out the show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms The Aftermath and Lawsuit Settlement, They Settled The Lawsuit, Arrested By His Agency. Despite the arrest and accusations, the prosecutor's office eventually dropped the charges against Murray. He was never formally prosecuted for any criminal offense. However, the damage to his reputation remained. The allegations continued to appear during routine security clearance evaluations for his work as a defense contractor. In late 2022, after a lengthy legal battle alongside his attorney, Murray reached a settlement with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. The lawsuit confirmed that there was no wrongdoing on Murray's part, legally clearing his name. Yet, there has been minimal coverage of the settlement in traditional news outlets. Most of the public acknowledgment has come through podcasts and social media discussions on platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn. It is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. To this day, Murray asserts that the Sheriff's Office has not publicly admitted any wrongdoing or taken steps to clear his name. In the podcast interview, he expressed frustration about the lingering effects of the false allegations. “Despite being legally cleared, those news reports still come up when I undergo security evaluations,” he shared. The case serves as a cautionary tale about the power of misinformation, the complexities of military leave policies, and the consequences of inadequate internal investigations. For Ian Murray, the fight to restore his reputation continues, even after the settlement of the lawsuit. Time is running out to secure the Medicare coverage you deserve!

1.35 million applicants received a military entrance physical from 2016 to 2020, and about 15% of them received an initial disqualification. More than half of these disqualified applicants sought a waiver, and they were more likely than not to get approved. This whole system can be frustrating and opaque, so in this episode we dive into the medical standards and waiver process with a guest who was deeply involved. Dr. Christopher D. Meyering is a board-certified Primary Care Sports Medicine physician. He attended medical school at the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine, Midwestern University and subsequently completed his Family Medicine internship and residency training at DeWitt Army Community Hospital at Fort Belvoir, VA. Following a 2-year assignment in Germany, he completed a Sports Medicine Fellowship at the Tri-Service Primary Care Fellowship at Fort Belvoir, VA. He is certified by the American Board of Family Physicians with a Certificate of Added Qualification in Sports Medicine, and he is a Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians. Dr. Meyering retired from the U.S. Army after 21 years of Service which included 3 combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan as a Battalion Surgeon for Infantry, Armor, and Field Artillery units. Several key positions during his career were assignments as the Command Surgeon for the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command which oversees all recruiting and training for the entire U.S. Army; the Command Surgeon for the U.S. Army Recruiting Command which made him the medical waiver authority for the Army; and the Division Surgeon for the 1st Cavalry Division. Dr. Meyering was the Chief Medical Officer for the 2022 and 2024 DoD Warrior Games held in Orlando, FL. Additionally he was the co-medical lead for the 2021 Invictus Games held in The Hague, The Netherlands and for the 2023 Invictus Games in Dusseldorf, Germany. He is currently the Chief Medical Officer for all upcoming DoD Warrior Games and is the Medical Lead for Team U.S. at the 2025 Invictus Games in Vancouver and Whistler, Canada. He is the author of multiple peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, and published abstracts, and he has presented at international and national conferences and events. He was previously the assistant team physician for George Mason University and covered all collegiate sports. He volunteered medical services at multiple levels and events to include the Marine Corps marathon, the Army 10 miler, the Augusta Half Iron Man Triathlon, All Army Wheelchair basketball, USA National and Golden Gloves Boxing events, Army combatives tournaments, professional fast pitch softball, and Special Olympics. We reference a lot of data from this AMSARA report "Accession Medical Standards Analysis and Research Activity"Some other relevant reporting on the issue includes this piece from The War Horse and this discussion of recent changes from AUSACOL (R) Meyering told a story about national media attention on some of his work, and you can find that coverage here

Austin Wheeler shares his personal journey navigating Mormonism, military culture, and faith deconstruction. He recounts growing up in the church, his early experiences with trauma, and how Mormonism influenced his views on violence and masculinity.
