Special guest this episode: Cole Robinson. Cole rose from door to door selling books in college, to the retail floor of a major department store, then joined a small marketing company and helped them grow from $6M to $22M. She decided at least a year in advance that she needed to leave her job and start a company. She enlisted a mentor, saved money, did a ton of research and finally pulled the trigger. Cole always had the goal to own her own business before 40.

Join us as we talk with Keith and Melisa Nellesen about their journey with autism. Melisa’s mother’s instinct told her from day one that something was wrong when Cole failed his hearing test as an infant. As he rolled into his toddler years she noticed that he didn’t engage with other kids, but preferred to be alone and not make eye contact. When Cole was 2 years old, Melisa acted on her concerns and took Cole to be tested and discovered that he was autistic. It was a devastating diagnosis leaving both Keith and Melisa scrambling to find the resources he needed. Intensive early intervention helped him to speak and function at a low functioning level. Cole’s sensory challenges with restrictive clothing, loud noises and physical touch made church attendance painful, which led them to make the difficult decision to not have their son attend church and be at peace at home. Keith and Melisa had to face the sobering reality that their son was never going to check all the standard church boxes of serving a mission, going to college and getting married in the temple and face the fact that you can do all the right things and hard things still happen. Their experience inspired them to create the Melisa Nellesen Center for Autism at Utah Valley University, which offers community education, professional training, college and life skill coaching for autistic adults, as well as free resources to offer hope and direction to parents who are searching for answers about how to help their autistic child.

Video version of event here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhUPCAlaKQ0 We hosted the Halifax Launch of Desmond Cole's The Skin We're In & he is joined by poet, professor, and activist El Jones, anti-racism activist Dr. Lynn Jones, and Fatouma Abdi who challenged Prime Minster Justin Trudeau to stop the deportation of her brother Abdoul Abdi. A bracing, provocative, and perspective-shifting book from one of Canada's most celebrated and uncompromising writers, Desmond Cole. The Skin We're In will spark a national conversation, influence policy, and inspire activists. In his 2015 cover story for Toronto Life magazine, Desmond Cole exposed the racist actions of the Toronto police force, detailing the dozens of times he had been stopped and interrogated under the controversial practice of carding. The story quickly came to national prominence, shaking the country to its core and catapulting its author into the public sphere. Cole used his newfound profile to draw insistent, unyielding attention to the injustices faced by Black Canadians on a daily basis. Both Cole’s activism and journalism find vibrant expression in his first book, The Skin We’re In. Puncturing the bubble of Canadian smugness and naive assumptions of a post-racial nation, Cole chronicles just one year—2017—in the struggle against racism in this country. It was a year that saw calls for tighter borders when Black refugees braved frigid temperatures to cross into Manitoba from the States, Indigenous land and water protectors resisting the celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, police across the country rallying around an officer accused of murder, and more. The year also witnessed the profound personal and professional ramifications of Desmond Cole’s unwavering determination to combat injustice. In April, Cole disrupted a Toronto police board meeting by calling for the destruction of all data collected through carding. Following the protest, Cole, a columnist with the Toronto Star, was summoned to a meeting with the paper’s opinions editor and informed that his activism violated company policy. Rather than limit his efforts defending Black lives, Cole chose to sever his relationship with the publication. Then in July, at another police board meeting, Cole challenged the board to respond to accusations of a police cover-up in the brutal beating of Dafonte Miller by an off-duty police officer and his brother. When Cole refused to leave the meeting until the question was publicly addressed, he was arrested. The image of Cole walking out of the meeting, handcuffed and flanked by officers, fortified the distrust between the city’s Black community and its police force. Month-by-month, Cole creates a comprehensive picture of entrenched, systemic inequality. Urgent, controversial, and unsparingly honest, The Skin We’re In is destined to become a vital text for anti-racist and social justice movements in Canada, as well as a potent antidote to the all-too-present complacency of many white Canadians.
This week is the episode I've been waiting to do since I started the podcast. My guest this week Cole Blackmore is like a brother to me. Among the many wonderful and accomplished things he is, he is also a trans man. When Cole first began his transition a few years ago, I recorded some informal interviews with him before his first testosterone treatment, three months into it, and then a year after. So now, 4 years later Cole and I relisten to these clips and give updates to where he is now in his transition and what life and love are like for him as a trans man. This is undoubtedly one of my favorite episodes I have ever done and I hope you all enjoy this amazing conversation.

Welcome the newest episode of Dark Discussions, your place for the discussion of horror film, fiction, and all that’s fantastic. Netflix continues to drop television shows and movies onto their station without much notice. The new film, The Babysitter, is another one that happened to appear out of the blue. The movie was directed by McG, known mostly for his Charlie Angels films, and written by little known Brian Duffield. Twelve year old Cole Johnson is a bit awkward with not many friends. He does have one thing most don’t, however, and that’s the hot babysitter. Bee is every young boy’s dream. Tall, blonde, beautiful, and as hip as you can imagine. She knows as much about the geek world as she knows about the cool world. When Cole’s parents head out for an overnight getaway, Bee and Cole play eclectic games and discuss pop culture. When night comes, and he goes to bed, Bee’s lazy night of television actually turns out to be something much more peculiar. This new horror comedy stars Australian Samara Weaving, the niece of actor Hugo Weaving, in a breakout role as Bee. With its coming of age subplot and its wacky but shocking imagery, the movie has immediately become a cult classic and continues to bring back the midnight movies that were so prominent in the 1970’s. Dark Discussions takes a look at this hidden gem and gives their thoughts on the movie.

Ep. 224: Kids' Sleep Health In this episode, we discuss kids' sleep habits. Stacy and Sarah talk about their own experiences, what kids actually require and how to address sleep issues. Click the picture above to be taken to iTunes If you enjoy the show, please review it in iTunes! The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 224: Kids' Sleep Health Intro (0:00) News and Views (0:40) This is another unfortunate lost episode re-recorded! Tada! We're hoping it's just as good as the lost episode! We don't do a ton of children's health topic, but here's one just for you parents! There's a ton of competing advice on parenting and it's hard to wade through it all. The Louis CK clip is here from Chewed Up in 2008. "If you're skinny, I go to jail! Do you understand?!" Sarah had two different kids requiring two different approaches. Parenting is like that: you need to come up with strategies to fit your own situation. School starts pretty late for Stacy, meaning Cole will sometimes sleep until 8:30 while Sarah's school starts early, requiring earlier bedtimes. Preteens are hard! They start to roll their eyes at everything. Sometimes you can be a great parent who handles situations perfectly. Sometimes you're Yelly McYellsalot. The most important thing about parenting is trying hard to do right. Let go of your guilt! You are a success as a parent if your children can afford their own therapy when they grow up." -Sarah's Mother-in-Law Again: we are not health or mental health professionals and our advice is in no way professional advice. We're just telling you our experiences and the experiences we have hear about. Chrissy Says: "Hello and I am so glad that this forum exists where I can put this question! Thank you for doing the work that you do and sharing your knowledge! My question concerns my daughter who is 8 years old. She has just undergone a sleep study because this summer I noticed she was sleeping 14 hours each night and still feeling tired during the day. Her attention and resilience to stress can vary, but this is like most kids. Her orthodontist and pediatrician have all commented on her large tonsils. We haven't reviewed the sleep study with the doctor yet, but I am concerned if they recommend a tonsillectomy for her. Her oxygen saturation was 92 at the lowest during the night, she does snore and if it could help her function, have more energy and focus than I am all for the surgery. However, I am worried about any repercussion to her thyroid because I have hashimotos and thyroid AI and dysfunction run in both my family and my husbands. I am careful about her diet and other exposures because of this and my next step will be to get her thyroid tested as well, but the pediatrician didn't see this as a potential issue because she is growing fine. My question is if there is any basis for concern regarding the tonsillectomy and its negative affect on her thyroid and if there is any knowledge you can share that might help guide this decision. Thank you for considering this question!" There is aparently one study from the 60s in Italian with no accessibility and no follow up or references back that implies a slight increase in thyroid issues after tonsillectomy, but it doesn't seem like that was definitive or held up. Probably a small group observation only. There is a connection between swollen tonsils and Grave's Disease (overactive thyroid), but there's no reason to think that the removal of the tonsils causes thyroid issues at all. With a history of autoimmune issues, getting a thyroid panel before surgery makes sense if you have the time (i.e. if there's not a serious emergency requiring you take action immediately). Always go with the "Save my kid's life" choice; that makes you a good parent! Sarah's daughter had obstructive sleep apnea and had three sleep studies when a toddler. She desaturated to 70% O2. Super low! But because it was only a short time and recovered quickly, was not considered a big issue at the time. He apnea was caused by a physical issue: a curl in her epiglottis (the part of your throat that closes during swallowing to prevent food from going to your lungs) plus acid reflux from gluten and dairy. Listen to the doctor's recommendation! By the way, obstructive tonsils is a very common reason for childhood sleep apnea. What do tonsils do? They sample foods to prepare the body for immune reactions. Studies show that up t0 50% of kids awaiting tonsillectomies have their tonsils shrink back down after a dairy free diet. Maybe the other 50% just haven't found what their food trigger is. We have to find a balance between seeking to find out the best natural solutions for your body and using the advice of medical doctors to prevent bigger health crises. Stacy had her gallbladder removed. While she wishes she had known what she knows not about her issue growing up, she still doesn't regret her gall bladder surgery because it was at the time a serious issue! Obstructive sleep apnea increases chances of autoimmune disease by 50% in adults. Getting good sleep is very important! The health detriments of not enough sleep get scary very fast! Jenny Says: "Bedtime is like World War 3 over here. What tips do you have for helping children get to bed, stay in bed and fall asleep? Also want is the optimal hours of sleep kids should be getting?" The list of sleep requirements: Newborns (0-3 months): 14-17 hours of sleep Infants (4-11 months): 12-15 hours Toddlers (1-2 years): 11-14 hours Preschoolers (3-5 years): 10-13 hours School Age (6-13): 9-11 hours Teenagers (14-17): 8-10 hours Adults (18-64): 7-9 hours Seniors (65+): 7-8 hours Stacy reflects that often she finds that he lazy parenting instincts ended up being the right choice. When Cole was a toddler, about 2, he was nursing to sleep every night in her bed. When Stacy was pregnant with Finn, she couldn't stand this lack of personal space anymore, so decided to transition him away from this habit. We set up a bedtime routine with Cole at that moment and continued it with other boys. Wesley slept through the night at only a few weeks old, which Stacy attributes to paleo. Routine and consistency is very important in all aspects of parenthood. Even adults have bedtime routines (like watching TV or reading or wearing special glasses). Teaching your kids to expect this routine will help them get to sleep. Books, teeth and bed is our routine these days. Cole and Finn both read to themselves for a little while before bed. The key for us is to check in the morning to see if lack of sleep has turned them into jerks. Stacy also prepares them for special "stay-up" nights with earlier bedtimes and naps. You will inadvertently set up expectations for them. Be aware of this and think if you'll want to continue this routine in a year or five years. Because they grow up! Sarah was forced to implement a lot of techniques because her daughter had sensory processing disorder that made it difficult for her to wind down for sleep. She got overwhelmed by too much input. Sarah used Happiest Baby on the Block's Five S's: Swaddle, Sideways, Shaking, Sucking, and Shushing Sarah rocked her baby for 45 minutes for 20 minutes of sleep, so took to wearing the baby to get her to sleep. Sarah took to turning off all the lights in the house after dinner to try to get her body to accept night time. An elaborate sequence was able to be simplified as the got older. Our shower podcast can be found here. Sarah never has late nights because she's found her kids can't sleep any later than they do. She focuses on consistency and makes up sleep debt by earlier bedtimes. If you miss the window when they are tired and calm, actually going to bed will be harder. Sarah has found that sugar too late is a problem for sleep, but carbs with dinner is great for sleep. Blackout curtains, red nightlight, and white noise machines also help. Check out Go To Sleep by Sarah for more details Make sure there is a positive association with bedtime so they don't fight it. Sarah makes sure that bedtime is a time for one on one time. Bedtime is also non-negotiable. The time is the time. It is not your responsibility to make your child into a certain person, they already are the person they are. Your job is to help them be their best self. Explain to your kids why things are the way they are. It empowers them. Stacy used the Usbourne's See Inside Your Body book to explain why the body is how it is and what they can to to be healthy as early as 2 years old. Take time to work towards your sleep goals with your kids because they have a hard time changing on the spot. You can preorder Paleo Principles RIGHT NOW! You can find out more here.
