We were at the dress rehearsal of BIRDY, one Hung Dance's most critically acclaimed productions, which will be premiering in New York at NYU Skirball on July 17 & 18th. BIRDY explores the relationship between freedom, limitation, and identity through a distinctive movement language inspired by Tai Chi, traditional Peking opera and contemporary dance. Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/birdy-explores-universal-themes-of-freedom-limitation-and-identity-relevant-to-taiwan-ep-353/ We sat down to speak with Lai Hung-Chung, Choreographer and Artistic Director of Hung Dance about his artistic vision for BIRDY and Wei-Ping Chen the dance company's Operations Director. Lai told us that the themes of freedom, limitation, and identity not only reflect his personal struggles but also relate to Taiwan's situation. Hung Dance is an award-winning Taiwanese contemporary dance company founded in 2017. The troupe's name comes from the Chinese character 翃 (Hóng), meaning to fly.

Born with no intention of becoming a machinist, Greg Knight says he was drafted into “indentured servitude” at age 16 when his father started a Brown & Sharpe machine shop in their garage. Despite his initial distaste for manual labor, fate had other plans for the psychology, philosophy, religion, and sociology major. I ran into Greg at PMTS 2025 in Cleveland last week, working in the Absolute Machine Tools booth despite being retired for several years after being diagnosed with ALS. I’ve always found Greg fascinating and fun to talk to since we met 20 years ago at my first PMPA event in San Antonio. As you can tell from this episode title, we’re going to unpack a lot of intriguing topics in this interview. Listen on your favorite podcast app using pod.link.

What began as temporary assistance evolved into a 20-year career. His father’s shop, which remarkably turned a profit from its first year, eventually expanded from primarily Brown & Sharp machines to include CNC lathes and mills while maintaining its identity as a screw machine house. Greg's expertise with Brown & Sharpe machines caught the attention of American Adaptive Machine Technology (AMT), who sought his insights while developing ServoCam technology—a modernization that brought CNC capabilities to traditional Brown and Sharpe machines. Greg eventually joined AMT to lead this innovation, selling his shop at his mother’s behest. The ServoCam technology, which initially cost about $15,000 per upgrade in 1998, eventually evolved to complete machine rebuilds priced at $150,000. Greg later formed connections with Taiwanese manufacturer Lico, bringing their full CNC screw machines to the American market. His industry journey concluded at Absolute Machine Tools, where he ran their production turning division for eight years. In 2019, Greg was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). Initially told he had 3-5 years to live, he now believes he has a slower-progressing variant that might give him 10-12 years. The disease has affected his right arm’s functionality and is beginning to impact his back and legs, requiring adaptations in daily activities. Greg has practiced Tai Chi for over 40 years, approaching it as both a martial art and philosophical practice. Fortunately he has always embraced the finesse-oriented approach rather than relying on his natural size and strength, explaining that he thought, “Someday I’m going to be old and infirm and that strength is going to fail me. This stuff will work forever.” Greg continues to practice Tai Chi despite his condition, using it to stay active and mobile. His pragmatic approach to life’s challenges emerges clearly, telling me: “It is what it is. So now what are you going to do with it?” Rather than dwelling on limitations, Greg adapts and continues moving forward. He is still the fun, and fascinating guy I met at the PMPA management update when I was 25. Question: What events transpired to lead you to your career? This summary was assisted by claude.ai.

Well, if that title doesn’t get you salivating, there’s something wrong with you (wink). This podcast started with Patrick giving us the history and evolution of tai chi that none of us knew we needed. Seriously, it was a pretty interesting chat and opened up into a discussion around the benefits of slow controlled movements in an era when the exercise conversation often focuses on explosive, dynamic, high-performance and complicated movements. Oh, we also spoke about tech stuff (for those of you not captivated by the tai chi chat). Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

MONEY FM 89.3 - Prime Time with Howie Lim, Bernard Lim & Finance Presenter JP Ong
Parkour and seniors aren't two words you'd normally expect to hear in the same sentence. But across Singapore, more older adults are embracing the discipline, not to leap across rooftops, but to stay strong, steady and confident as they age. So why are seniors taking up parkour? And could it change the way we think about growing older? On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Shie Boon Tan, Founder and Coach at Movement Singapore, about how parkour is helping older adults improve their balance, build confidence, reduce their fear of falling, and prove that ageing doesn't have to mean slowing down.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
As women move through their 40s, perimenopause and beyond, many discover that the exercise routines that once worked no longer feel right. High-intensity workouts can leave us exhausted, while social media continues to promote quick fixes and unrealistic body transformation promises.In this episode of the Eating for You Podcast, I'm joined by Chinese medicine practitioner and Qigong teacher Tania Grasseschi to explore a gentler, more sustainable approach to movement.Together, we discuss what Qigong is, how it differs from Tai Chi, and why mindful movement can support your nervous system, digestion, balance, resilience and long-term health.We also unpack the recent social media trend of "Tai Chi walking" and discuss why women should think critically about exercise programs promising dramatic body transformations in just a few weeks.In this episode we discuss:What Qigong is and how it differs from Tai ChiWhy gentle movement can be especially beneficial for women over 40How Qigong supports the nervous system, digestion and overall wellbeingWhy consistency matters more than intensityWhat's behind the recent Tai Chi walking trend on social mediaHow to choose movement that works with your body instead of against itIf you're looking for a more compassionate, sustainable approach to movement, this conversation will encourage you to rethink what healthy exercise can look like.
In the second episode of the "Lovemaxxing" series, Dr. K sits down with Brian, a professional actor and competitive medieval combat knight. Despite performing in front of crowds and literally fighting in titanium armor, Brian completely freezes up when it comes to breaking the ice with women. Dr. K breaks down the neuroscience of the "freeze" response, the psychological trap of playing a character to avoid rejection, and how to rewrite the brain's autonomic reactions. What to expect in this episode: The Freeze Response: Understanding why the autonomic nervous system is wired to "play dead" during social approaches and how this sudden lock-up is triggered by an adrenaline spike rather than just psychological anxiety. Autonomic Retraining: Why Dr. K recommends practices like Yoga or Tai Chi to literally rewire the nervous system and prevent the "freeze" response from hijacking the brain. Hyper-Vigilance and Mind Reading: A look at how the same skills that make someone a great actor can create a "negativity bias" in dating, causing them to constantly scan for bad micro-expressions and assume the worst about what others are thinking. Wanting vs. Liking: A deep dive into the neuroscience of dating apps, explaining why the dopamine circuit (what people want or demand on a profile) is entirely different from the hedonic circuit (what people actually like and enjoy in person). The Character Trap: The danger of using a cheerful "acting" persona as a defense mechanism to get people to like you, and why being terrified of revealing your true, flawed self prevents genuine emotional connection. Breaking the Autopilot: Practical advice on how to dissolve automatic anxiety spirals simply by "catching" yourself mind-reading in real-time, because neurological autopilot cannot function when you bring active awareness to it. The Fear of the Unknown: Exploring how the fear of not knowing what someone might judge you for is often more paralyzing than facing a specific, known criticism.

For most people, breast cancer starts and ends as a women's conversation. But for Dave Catron, it became deeply personal.In this powerful and deeply important conversation, Jamie sits down with Dave, a firefighter, husband, father, and male breast cancer survivor, to talk about what it's like to face a diagnosis that so few men ever see coming and even fewer talk about openly.Dave shares the story of finding a lump and the uncertainty that followed. Like many men, breast cancer wasn't on his radar. The path to diagnosis came with confusion, delayed answers, and the hard reality that awareness around male breast cancer is still dangerously low.But what came after diagnosis was just as eye-opening.From treatment to survivorship, Dave opens up about navigating a world of breast cancer support largely built for women, and what that felt like as a man trying to find his place in it.One of the most unforgettable moments in this episode comes when Dave shares the now-famous line he uses when people ask about the pink bracelet on his wrist:"If someone sees my pink bracelet and asks, ‘Does your wife have breast cancer?' I say, ‘No… her husband does.'"That one sentence captures the assumptions so many people still make.Dave also shares a moment that stopped Jamie in her tracks: being invited to a Tai Chi class for breast cancer patients, only to arrive and be told it was for women only.His response?"The sisterhood wouldn't let me play."It's a line that is both humorous and heartbreaking, and it shines a light on the very real gaps male survivors face when it comes to inclusion, support, and visibility.Jamie and Dave talk openly about:• The signs and symptoms Dave noticed• Why men often don't think breast cancer can happen to them• The delays and disbelief that can come with a male diagnosis• How breast cancer impacts marriage, family, and identity• The emotional isolation of being a man in female-centered cancer spaces• Why education and awareness must include everyone• The importance of knowing your body and speaking up early

What if the most powerful leadership skill in the world could be taught in a maximum security prison? In this episode, Doug Noll, lawyer turned peacemaker, mediator, and author of the upcoming Empathy Leadership, shares how walking away from a $10 million law career led him to one of the most profound discoveries in human communication. For 10 years he trained over 3,000 incarcerated men and women in maximum security prisons to prevent gang riots using a skill that can be learned in minutes and practiced in seconds. That skill is two words: You feel. The story that changed everything wasn't in a boardroom. It was a woman on a hospital bed in the world's largest women's prison, writing letters to a son who hadn't spoken to her in 18 years. What happened next is something Doug will never forget. [00:05:00] What He Does and Who He Serves Lawyer turned peacemaker with a master's degree in conflict studies Left the practice of law in 2000 after 22 years as a trial lawyer Teaches nervous system leadership to executives, founders, and C-level leaders [00:06:00] The Three Questions Every Brain Asks Every brain in every meeting asks three questions every microsecond Am I safe? Can I trust you? Do I matter to you? If leaders don't get solid yeses, they've already lost the room A leader's first job is to regulate their own nervous system [00:07:30] How a Lawyer Became a Peacemaker Took up martial arts in his mid-30s and earned a second-degree black belt His teacher sent him to learn Tai Chi; it taught him soft is strong and vulnerable is powerful In a courtroom in the late 90s the thought hit him: what am I doing in here? [00:09:00] The River Trip That Changed Everything Spent 10 days alone on a raft on the Salmon River in Idaho thinking Could only count five people in 22 years of law who came out better than they went in Heard a radio announcement for a peacemaking master's degree and enrolled at 48 Gave one week's notice, left $10 million on the table, and walked away [00:11:00] What Inspires Him Wants to teach as many people as possible to stop fights before they spiral The skill: say "you feel" and name what the other person is experiencing When you name someone's emotions, their amygdala calms and they can think again [00:13:30] Client Impact Trained senior analysts at the Congressional Budget Office to de-escalate members of Congress Mediated a three-day dispute at a billion-dollar company where stakeholders could barely be in the same room Hardened business people regularly break into tears from the release of tension they've been carrying [00:15:00] The Relationship That Changed Everything: Laurel Klaffer and Sarah In 2009 a woman serving life without parole wrote letters from a hospital bed One letter landed with Doug's colleague Laurel Klaffer; she called Doug and read it to him Eight months later they were standing in front of 15 women in California's largest women's prison [00:16:30] Sarah's Letter: The Moment That Defined the Mission Sarah had been in prison 18 years for a fatal DUI that killed a family of four She gave up her three-year-old son when she entered prison; he never visited or wrote back Using what she learned, she wrote naming how he must feel For the first time in 18 years he wrote back: Mom, I love you; I'm bringing my girlfriend to visit [00:18:00] Prison of Peace: A Program That Went Global Sarah's story confirmed the work was about restoring humanity, not just peacemaking The program expanded to Corcoran State Prison, one of California's two supermaxes Prison of Peace is now operating in prisons across the world [00:22:00] Mike's Story: A Father Reconnected from Behind Bars Mike, a gang member at Corcoran, had a daughter who ran from him during visits He started naming her emotions on their weekly calls; within weeks she was a changed girl She began requesting her own weekly call just to be listened to On the next visit she ran and jumped into his arms; the guards looked the other way [00:27:30] Final Word: Two Words That Change Everything Conflict is inevitable; the painful emotions around it are not Every fight is a cry: please listen to me Say "you feel" and the argument dissolves; the problem can finally be solved KEY QUOTES "Every fight, every argument is nothing more than a cry: please listen to me." - Doug Noll "When you name what someone feels, you choose humanity over ideology. You choose connection over being right." - Doug Noll "If the most violent men I've ever worked with could learn how to listen people into existence, imagine what it could do for everybody listening to this show." - Doug Noll CONNECT WITH DOUG NOLL Website: https://www.dougnoll.com Substack: https://www.dougnoll.substack.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dougnoll Thanks for tuning in!

Episode Summary:In this engaging and informative episode of the Pain Matters Podcast, hosts Sudheer Potru, DO, FASA, FASAM, and Co-Host Zafeer Baber, MD, sit down with renowned chronic pain advocate, Tom Norris. With a four-decade-long journey through the challenges of chronic pain, Tom shares his invaluable insights regarding the newly drafted Acute Low Back Pain Guideline** (drafted by the Pacific Northwest Evidence-based Practice Center at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU EPC) and the American Academy of Pain Medicine), recently submitted to Pain Medicine Journal and currently under review. His unique perspective underscores the critical need for clear communication and collaboration between clinicians and patients, especially in the context of guideline development and healthcare delivery. Throughout the discussion, the trio delves into practical strategies for managing acute and chronic pain, emphasizing the importance of patient-centered communication, the role of alternative therapies, and the power of support groups. Tom candidly discusses his military background and how it has shaped his ability to advocate effectively for himself and others within the medical community. The episode also explores the significance of understanding non-pharmacologic pain management techniques, such as virtual reality, acupuncture, and Tai Chi, and the need for greater awareness and education on these options. Anchored by Tom's wealth of experience and wisdom, this episode serves as a robust resource for both healthcare providers and patients seeking to enhance their pain management approaches. Key Takeaways:Patient-Centered Communication: Building trust and understanding between clinicians and patients is crucial in effectively managing pain and implementing guidelines. Integrative and Alternative Therapies: Non-drug approaches like acupuncture, virtual reality, and Tai Chi can be beneficial in managing pain, but public awareness about these methods is limited. Support Groups' Role: Connecting with others facing similar pain challenges can provide essential support and insights, offering solace and practical advice. Empowering Patients: Patients should proactively educate themselves, prepare questions for their providers, and seek various treatment avenues to optimize their care. Guideline Development Insight: Having patients involved in the creation of medical guidelines ensures that the recommendations are practical and resonate with those they are designed to help. *Views expressed by our guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of the hosts, their institutions, or the American Academy of Pain Medicine. **The Pacific Northwest Evidence-based Practice Center (PNW-EPC) at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) is partnered with AAPM for the development of an evidence-based clinical practice guideline on the assessment and management of acute low back pain (ALBP). This project was financially supported by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of a financial assistance award [FAIN] totaling $1,999,980.00, with 100 percent funded by FDA/HHS.

The funders had no decision-making role in designing and conducting systematic review, data collection, analysis, and interpretation of the data or approval privilege on the recommendation and good practice statements. As requested, the FDA provided nonbinding feedback and technical support to the guideline panel and methodological team. A methodologically rigorous systematic review on assessment and management of ALBP was conducted by the PNW-EPC to provide evidence for guideline development. An independent, multidisciplinary guideline development used evidence from the systematic review to formulation evidence-based clinical recommendations to the guide assessment and management of ALBP.

It is quiet, ambiguous and emotionally bruising — a film about memory, parenting, depression, guilt, love and what children only understand years later.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

“Hey everybody, welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Speaks—the spot where we turn beats into‑beacons for anyone wrestling with the ups and downs of life. I'm your host, James Cox, and today we're thrilled to have a very special guest back on the show: Marq Electronica, the genre‑bending producer and vocalist who first joined us in episode 444.Since our last chat, Marq's sound has taken a wild ride. He's migrated from gritty trip‑hop and grime‑laden urban beats to a brighter, disco‑house vibe that still carries the weight of his introspective lyrics about insecurity, loss, and resilience. We'll hear him break down the story behind his new single “Be There,” a dance‑floor anthem that masks a deep craving for reassurance, and explore the darker, more personal tracks “Ether” and “Calling You,” which grapple with the loss of his father.Marq also opens up about the real‑life challenges that have shaped his journey: a fraught legal battle with his brother, a partner's serious illness, overwhelming caseloads at his day‑job, and the relentless pressure of finances. He'll reveal the turning point that finally let him laugh again—how community support, fresh gigs, and a stable job helped him step out of his shell and refocus on himself.We'll dive into his creative process, from hunting the perfect drum loop at 125 BPM to layering percussive textures that keep a track alive, and we'll hear the quirky “studio snack” confession that keeps his energy high. Plus, Mark shares what he's chasing beyond music—Tai Chi, storytelling, and a long‑overdue night of proper sleep.Stick around for his upcoming live gig in November—where he'll be spinning house tracks in the lounge of a Westlife concert arena—plus a reminder to check out his website markelectronica.com for new videos, merch, and the pre‑sale of his April 30th release.If you've ever felt stuck, unheard, or just need a rhythm to move through the dark, this episode is for you. So press play, breathe deep, and let the music do what words can't.
#426 In this episode, Guy talked with Andrew Molnar and explored the idea that human beings are far more than physical bodies and may possess a deeper spiritual nature connected to consciousness, light, and personal transformation. Drawing from Christian mysticism, Tibetan Buddhism, quantum theories, and his own experiences, Andrew discussed the concept of "ascension" as a journey of awakening through commitment, purification, and daily spiritual practice. He emphasized the importance of examining limiting beliefs, healing emotional wounds, being intentional about the influences we allow into our lives, and cultivating practices such as meditation, prayer, and Tai Chi. Throughout the episode, the discussion encourages listeners to look inward rather than outward for fulfillment, embrace personal growth, and recognize that love, awareness, and self-transformation may be the keys to unlocking humanity's highest potential. About Andrew: My conscious journey began in college when I was diagnosed with a serious illness induced by stress. Heeding my doctor's advice, I significantly changed my outlook and life rhythms, which included starting daily meditation practices. After my body healed, I decided to prioritize living my fullest health and well-being above all else…and assist others in doing the same. For almost three decades I've done so as a healer both as a manager and consultant for organizations, as well as through private healing sessions with individuals.

Interview starts at 31:25 Interstellar Contact, Taoism, and the Future of Humanity with Monk Yun-Roe Explore the intriguing intersection of Taoist philosophy, extraterrestrial life, and personal transformational experiences with Monk Yun-Roe. Discover how ancient wisdom aligns with modern UFO phenomena and the potential future of human evolution. Introduction: In this episode, Monk Yun-Roe shares his journey from a Hollywood screenwriter to a Taoist monk, his visionary experiences involving alien contact, and insights on humanity's evolution and cosmic interconnectedness. Why understanding ancient philosophies and embracing the unknown can shape our future. The Author: Yun Rou has been called the "Zen Gabriel Garcia-Marquez" for his works of magical realism. Born Arthur Rosenfeld in New York City, he received his academic background at Yale University, Cornell University, and the University of California and was officially ordained a Taoist monk in Guangzhou, PRC. His award-winning non-fiction works on Taoism bridge science, spirituality, and philosophy, while his novels have been optioned for film in both Hollywood and Asia. Yun Rou lives in the American Southwest with his wife. He is an international teacher of Tai Chi and Daoism and travels frequently in the Far East. https://a.co/d/0fDNXvXl monkyunrou.com Main Topics: The connection between Taoism and interstellar contact Personal visionary experiences involving ET and cosmic consciousness The concept of ontological shock and its global relevance Humanity's potential for evolution and the possibility of collective non-corporeal existence The role of conflict, interconnectedness, and consciousness in our evolution Updates on Monk Yun-Roe's 1990s book and its prophetic parallels with current events The importance of integrated holistic practices like Tai Chi for health and longevity The ongoing dialogue about alien interference, government secrecy, and future contact Key Insights: Ancient Taoist principles may offer a framework for understanding contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. Monk Yun-Roe experienced a profound visionary coma, where he was shown humanity's future in a vessel teeming with life, suggesting our evolution may lead to non-physical existence. The concept of ontological shock is a shared experience across cultures and might be a universal trigger for cosmic awakening. Tai Chi and Chinese medicine exemplify how spiraling energy flow can enhance health and align us with universal rhythms, possibly echoing cosmic principles. Our current era mirrors a cyclical pattern of crises, requiring global evolution amidst universal risks. The mysterious re-emergence of Monk Yun-Roe's early work hints at messages or messages embedded in the universe's unfolding narrative. Become a Lord or Lady with 1k donations over time.

finished verse seven in the "forgiveness of yourself" chapter, "Song of Psalms". start reading verse eight nextInterpretation of Forgiveness and Society: Soo Kim shared that the concept of forgiveness was starting to "click" for them, noting that it felt like an "upside down world" compared to what they are taught by society. Jevon Perra agreed that the teaching is counterintuitive because society promotes the idea of a "special separate thing" that will find happiness in its separateness, which they identified as the source of suffering.The Nature of Personal Accomplishment: Jevon Perra discussed how personal accomplishment will not lead to ultimate happiness, citing this as a sad epiphany. They explained that the fun part is starting a new venture and the complete fantasy of success, as well as the ability to "completely lose myself" and forget their separate self in the activity.Separation and the Illusion of Self: Jevon Perra likened the effort to maintain separateness—which is the darkness, guilt, and separation—to running a "fog machine" that prevents them from seeing the truth. They referenced a show at Disneyland that projects an image onto a wall of mist, stating that the mist is essential to get lost and deceived in the image.Reading and Interpretation of Verse Nine and Ten: Soo Kim read verses nine and ten, which discuss that forgiveness is the key, but one must first find the door for which the key was made. The text states that the concept of "forgiveness to destroy" must be cleansed of its hateful goals and unveiled in its treachery before it can be let go, allowing learning to be complete.Defining "Forgiveness to Destroy": Jevon Perra defined "forgiveness to destroy" as forgiving someone while still viewing them as an offender or enemy. This practice keeps the separation alive, reinforcing the idea of a special, separate self with separate desires, leading to a zero-sum game where suffering persists.Achieving Acceptance and Moving Past Separation: Soo Kim suggested that acceptance, or "radical acceptance," is necessary to move past separateness, which involves recognizing that others are acting from a place of innocence. Jevon Perra questioned what "innocent" means in the context of bad behavior, and Soo Kim clarified that innocence refers to their essence, or the place where people are the same.Morality and the Lack of Inherent Meaning in Actions: Jevon Perra argued that morality sets up a world of polarity, where good and bad actions are defined by cultural context, suggesting that no action has inherent meaning. They asserted that morality is not an ultimate way to achieve happiness, though it can serve as a "good architecture" to build from and later be torn down, similar to developing the ego before one can overcome it.The Practice of Saying "I Am God": Jevon Perra mentioned using the mantra "I am God," noting that to speak this truth, one must be in the correct state, not operating from a separate, egoic perspective. They explained that this requires shifting from "spotlight vision"—which focuses on details and success/failure—to "flood light vision," which is peripheral and expanded.Personality and the Experience of Suffering: Jevon Perra described the personality as a program of reoccurring thoughts and beliefs that can be recoded, but which remains separate. They observed that when operating in the "spotlight" or laser version of awareness, they suffer, and freedom is instantly felt when they expand to the wide "flood light" perspective.Discussion of Martial Arts Practice: Soo Kim inquired about Jevon Perra's martial arts practice, and Jevon Perra clarified that they used to practice Jiu-Jitsu but now practice a Tai Chi-type martial arts style, possibly combined with Aikido, called "push hands". Jevon Perra extended an invitation to Soo Kim to join their Sunday practice at Edison Park in Huntington at 8:00 a.m.

Empowering Wellness: Exercise as Medicine for Mind and Body Welcome to another episode from our series exploring the profound impact of taking deliberate actions on various aspects of health, where today, we're delving into the interplay between physical exercise and mental health - particularly in individuals living with chronic illnesses. In a deeply engaging conversation with Dr. Sue Broadbent, a clinical exercise physiologist, we unravel the subtle yet powerful benefits of tailored exercise regimens for those with conditions like fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Discovering the Path Dr. Sue's journey into exercise science was an unexpected detour from her initial career as a high school teacher specializing in art and photography. It wasn't until her thirties, when she took up distance running, that her path led to academia and research, ultimately focusing on chronic conditions like ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome. With a personal connection through friends and family affected by these conditions, her work strives to bridge the gap in understanding and managing these illnesses through research and evidence-based practice. Exercise as a Gentle Healer One of the focal points of Dr. Sue's research is the transformative potential of aquatic exercise. Water's unique properties offer a gentle resistance environment which simultaneously promotes strength without exacerbating symptoms. The buoyancy relieves joint pressure, making it an inviting option for those who experience muscular pain and fatigue. Mental Health and Movement In our discussion, Dr. Sue emphasized how regular, self-paced physical activity can significantly boost mental health. The release of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine during exercise contributes to enhanced mood and reduced anxiety, even in severe cases of depression. Moreover, engaging in group exercises fosters social connections, providing a shared space for understanding and support which is crucial to those dealing with chronic conditions. Personal Stories and Professional Insight Our conversation also touched on personal experiences that resonate deeply with many navigating chronic health challenges. For instance, I share my journey through fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and how commitment to an exercise regimen, albeit challenging, cultivated resilience and self-efficacy. Addressing Myths and Misconceptions A recurring theme was the deconstruction of myths surrounding exercise and chronic conditions. A common misconception is that physical activity can worsen fatigue. In reality, when approached with a tailored, paced strategy, exercise can serve as a catalyst for improved energy levels and mental clarity. Practical Strategies for Moving Forward Dr. Sue offers valuable strategies for those anxious about integrating movement into their routine. Gradual, self-paced attempts—like five minutes of exercise—are celebrated wins, paving the way for longer-term health goals without overwhelming the individual. It advocates for finding joy in movement, whether it be Tai Chi, yoga, or simple home exercises built into daily routines. An Exciting Frontier in Research Looking ahead, Dr. Sue expressed enthusiasm for ongoing research, especially studies delving into strength training's potential benefits for those with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. Projects led by passionate researchers, including one of her PhD students who brings personal experience to her work, aim to develop practical, impactful guidelines for both patients and healthcare providers. Final Thoughts Our dialogue with Dr. Sue highlights the indispensable role of exercise as both a physical and psychological rehabilitative tool. By fostering patience, adaptability, and informed choice in exercise practices, individuals with chronic illnesses can find empowerment and improvement in their quality of life. I invite you to listen to Dr. Sue's insights that they may well inspire your approach to health and wellness, whether you're living with chronic conditions or simply curious about the healing power of physical activity. Join us in this ongoing journey - where knowledge meets personal experience, and compassion drives innovative solutions for those navigating the challenges of Complex Mental Health.

World Health Day Happened Again It is celebrated annually and each year draws attention to a specific health topic of concern to people all over the world. The 2026 Movement Theme?: "Together for health. Stand with science." The multicultural year long campaign spotlights both scientific achievements and the multicultural cooperation. Needed to turn evidence into action. The date of 7 April marks the anniversary of the founding of WHO in 1948. Neuro Wellness Is the New Frontier Okay THIS was wild… Welcome to Neuro Wellness—aka: Technology that can track and regulate your nervous system in real time. We're moving from: "I feel stressed" TO "Here's the DATA showing you're burned out" Think: Nervous system tracking Mental fitness training Real-time stress + resilience measurement I mean… imagine your burnout showing up like a weather report? Found a very enlightening article on Outside Online which sparked much of my conversation today. The Rise of High-Tech Longevity Clinics This one blew my mind… Places like Fountain Life are popping up offering: Advanced AI diagnostics Early disease detection Full-body scans BEFORE symptoms show up And yes… Tony Robbins is involved in this one. The big idea: Stop reacting to illness… start predicting it and get ahead of it. Would you want to know everything that might go wrong with your body in advance? I'm still deciding. Sleep Optimization Is a Whole Thing Now Sleep is no longer just… sleep. It's: Hormones Brain recovery Longevity Metabolism EVERYTHING And yes… There are now: Sleep trackers Wearables Circadian rhythm experts (shoutout to my Amtrak seatmate!) Also—fun fact: Babies in Norway nap OUTSIDE in the cold (And apparently sleep better beacuse of it according to some Norwegians I ran into) We Are Overcomplicating Wellness Hot take from me this week: I read we are OVERCOMPLICATING wellness. I agree. Sometimes the answer is: Call a friend Laugh harder Get out of your house Talk to actual humans Because: Connection = Energy Energy = Life That's it. That's what I have always known. My Tai Chi Experiment (Yes… really) I tried Tai Chi at home (rather than embarrass myself first time doing it in a park by a stream) Tai chi is often described as "meditation in motion," but it might well be called "medication in motion, according to an article from Harvard Medical School. I'm trying it to try and shore up my balance. (Tipping over trying to put on a pair of pants is seriously unacceptable) Tai chi is a low impact, "meditation in motion" practice that combines slow, graceful movements with deep breathing to improve physical and mental health. Key benefits include improved balance and reduced fall risk in older adults, enhanced flexibility, increased muscle strength, stress reduction and better cardovascular health, making it an accessible exercise for all fitness levels. And WOW. Turns out: Breathing alone can energize your entire body Who knew the thing we do for free… …could be that powerful? Could be the perfect activity for the rest of your life! NASA, Artemis II & A Little Perspective Quick detour to outer SPACE (as one does on occasion…) NASA's Artemis II mission had people buzzing again—and it reminded me there's still so much wonder in the world. And reminded me that we are lucky there are some very brave people in the world willing to "Risk It! or Reget It!" on behalf of all of us. When this radio show was live, the Artemis Crew was still up in space. I wanted to see what they were seeing so I went onto NASA's website and sat virtually inside a spacecraft online. TOO COOL and also hard to process that we humans and other life actually exist on this spinning planet. The Artemis Crew has since safely returned to earth after a 10-day record setting mission. The four astronauts traveled farther from earth than any humans in 50 years. I'm thrilled we are collectively appreciating the NASA space missions again like so many of us grew up witnessing in awe together. I'd like to personally salute and thank the astronauts Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover. Mission Specialist Christina Koch, and mission specialist Jeremy Hansen And loved that Artemis II Commander Reid Weisman and his crew named a moon crater "Carroll" after his late wife Caroll Taylor Wiseman who passed away from cancer in 2020. The touching tribute was announced by fellow astronaut Jeremy Hansen during the crew's lunar fly-around on April 6, 2026, as a memorial to her life. He sincerely loved her to the moon and back. Wellness Trends You Should Know (2026 Edition) The Whole Summary The Inside Word Straight from the Outside Magazine piece called: "Tech, Sleep Tracking, and Social Fitness: Where Health and Wellness Is Heading in 2026" 'Wellness culture is shifting away from quick fixes.' Big trends include: Metabolic health focus GLP-1 weight loss drugs (with caution!) Social fitness (goodbye lonely workouts!) Alcohol-free social clubs Run clubs & community wellness Translation: Wellness is becoming SOCIAL again—and I love that. I've written a book to help encourage people to get out and talk to one another in person as much as possible. It's called "How To Talk To Strangers - Advice from a Professional Stranger Talker" It's an ebook and an audio book too that I recorded myself. It's on Amazon. Viral Nutrition Hacks (Worth It or Not?) I also read in Outside Online about the upside and the downside of some trending health 'hacks'. They spoke of... Apple cider vinegar shots Fiber-maxing (more important than Vitamin C!) Water stacking (careful—too much is dangerous!) Chipotle "health bowl" hack Alert Pop™ – My "Secret Weapon" for Staying More Alive Had to sneak this in… If you missed it: I've been working on Alert Pop™ (sugar-free caffeinated lollipops for a year. They recently launched online and you'll soon be seeing them at retail locations around the country. Why Alert Pop™ matters: Created to fight drowsy driving Gentle energy boost No overload on caffeine like energy drinks which can actually harm you. And … Alert Pop™ works FAST because of how it absorbs in your mouth. (Watermelon, Blue Raspberry and Espresso which is my favorite ) I am a Founding Partner. Check them out at AlertPop.com and feel free to use my discount code DN20 for 20% off. Debbie's End of Show "Daily Toast" "If you want to be happy… Don't live in the past. Don't worry about the future. Live fully in the present." Because the present? It's a gift. Final Thought This whole show comes down to one thing: You don't just want to be alive… You want to feel ALIVE! Try something new Call someone you love Take care of your body AND your mind And remember… In the immortal words of myself lol "If ya still got a pulse… ya still got a shot!" - Debservations

Listen in as Danielle Pashko and Bernadette Fiaschetti discuss springing forward with renewed energy, quantum physics, ayuervedic medicine, the emotional roots of chronic disease, and the future of energy-based healing.Danielle Pashko is a Functional Nutritionist, Certified Health Coach, author, and the visionary behind Soulhakker™, a cutting-edge wellness platform that merges ancient energetic practices with modern science to catalyze healing from the inside out.With more than two decades at the forefront of New York City's elite wellness scene, Pashko has collaborated with leading physicians, developed custom supplement lines, and helped thousands transform their health through detoxification, nutrition, and mind-body integration. Her training spans functional medicine, yoga, massage therapy, somatic healing, and internal martial arts. But her true authority comes from what she's lived through.After losing her mother to cancer at 13, Pashko became fiercely committed to health—by the time she was 16, she was living alone in Manhattan, working multiple jobs while pursuing a vision of invincibility through wellness. By her early 30s, she had become a trusted expert in the field, but her own cancer diagnosis, followed by chronic Lyme and post-COVID complications, shattered her illusion of control. Despite doing everything “right,” she got sick. That reckoning became her awakening.What healed her wasn't more optimization, it was nervous system regulation, unprocessed grief, and ancient practices like Qigong and Tai Chi. Pashko now teaches what she had to learn the hard way: true healing is not about perfecting your health, it's about reconnecting with yourself. Through Soulhakker™, Pashko offers an integrative model of healing that combines clinical precision with trauma-informed emotional work and energetics. She's redefining what resilience looks like for a new generation of men and women—those who are ready to stop pushing through and start healing for real.Pashko is the author of, “Smile at Your Challenges” and “Weight Loss Mistakes Even Healthy Chicks Make.” Her work has been featured in FOX & Friends, USA Today, CBS, ABC, NY1, Reader's Digest, PIX11, and The New York Post. She has held positions at prestigious institutions including The Sports Club/LA, Equinox, Exhale Spa, and The Peninsula Spa, and has worked in clinical practice with renowned longevity expert Oz Garcia. Today, Pashko is a sought-after voice on holistic health, the emotional roots of chronic illness, and the future of energy-based healing.
On episode 739 of the 40 Plus Fitness Podcast, Coach Allan is joined by Dr. Jacques Mora-Marco and Dr. Yun Kim, authors of the book, Walking Your Way to Vitality. Together, they dive deep into how integrating walking, breathwork, and mindfulness can profoundly transform your health; especially if you're over 40. In this conversation, you'll discover that walking is far more than just putting one foot in front of the other. The doctors share fascinating insights into different styles of walking, such as "retro walking" (walking backwards), animal-inspired Tai Chi walks for balance and fall prevention, and the powerful benefits of starting simple, daily habits no matter where you're at right now in your fitness journey. You'll learn practical tips for making walking a cornerstone of your wellbeing, how mindfulness and movement can reduce stress and boost longevity, and why prevention is truly the best medicine.

What if your next leadership breakthrough isn't in your mind—yet? In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, Timm Esque and Amanda Stradling unpack how breath, posture, and movement quietly shape how we lead. This episode is for leaders, founders, and high-achievers who feel stuck in overthinking, burnout, or “performing leadership.” You'll hear how Tai Chi and Qigong help you get out of mental loops, access steadier commitment, and respond with more choice—not just reaction. About the Guest: Amanda Stradling is a Tai Chi and Qigong practitioner who shares how embodied practice reshaped her confidence and leadership. Timm Esque brings decades of business experience (including Intel and consulting) and discovered embodiment through leadership coaching before training Tai Chi with Amanda. Episode Chapters: 00:09:43 — Leadership isn't just mindset: “Lead from the whole self” 00:11:54 — Amanda's start: Tai Chi as a healing, grounding path 00:13:36 — Tim's blind spot: realizing he was cut off from his body 00:16:14 — What Tai Chi is (health, energy, forms, Qigong) 00:19:02 — The “old program” in our minds—and how to update it 00:23:34 — Yin/Yang in leadership: oak vs willow energy 00:26:18 — Burnout reset: breath, pacing, and practicing in motion Key Takeaways: Notice when you're stuck in “old programming”—and shift attention into the body. Use slow belly breathing to settle the nervous system and reduce reactive leadership. Practice embodiment in motion, so it works in real meetings (not just in stillness). Explore your default leadership energy (oak vs willow) and build range. Let commitment be felt, not forced—yours first, then your team's.
