Rejuvenaging with Dr. Ron Kaiser

The last couple of years, if anything, forced all of us to be more active in the digital world. Accessing grocery stores, banks, or even family gatherings digitally became part of the routine of almost everyone. Still, many of us in the second half-century of our lives struggle a bit with the online world, and we look for alternatives to it to avoid feeling the uncomfortable sensation of not knowi...

Our chronological age shouldn't be an impediment to the things we want to do as much as it shouldn't indicate how healthy we are. Developing a healthy lifestyle, a consistent and regular workout routine, and healthy eating habits have multiple benefits, and it depends entirely on us. Our guest, Rico Caveglia, is an Author, Speaker, Podcast Host of The Fearless Aging Podcast, the Creator of the Age...

Life keeps us so busy that we barely have time to worry or think about our retirement. But, as it is inevitable, start thinking about it is probably a good idea. To our guest, Murs Tariq, the sooner we start thinking about a retirement plan, the better, but it is never too late to come up with one.  From a financial standpoint, Murs believes that having an exciting and comfortable retirement...

As tragic and sad stories are more compelling to the general audience, there's a whole narrative built on the idea that we must endure some kind of massive trauma before taking the reins of our lives. It might look like those with average lives, and moderate experiences aren't capable of taking control of their reality. Our guest, Dr. Reza Abraham, believes we can optimize and control our lives an...

When humanity transitioned from hunter-collector to farmer, it produced changes outside and inside our bodies. It changed people's lifestyle, social organization, and life expectancy, but it also modified our relationship with food, and more specifically, with nutrients. For instance, it changed our relationship with glucose, the human's primary energy source.  For hunter-collector humans, fi...

If there is a constant in almost everyone's fitness journey, it is starting with great enthusiasm and, at some point, getting lost in the way. Perhaps the main reason this happens to us is the incompatibility between fitness and wellness' visible results and the instant gratification, quick fix, easy button society we live in. Our guest, Chad Austin, found a solution as simple as practical to ensu...

Grief is commonly associated exclusively with the death of a loved one, the end of a loving relationship, or even a friendship when actually, grieving is as broad as personal. We all can grieve for different things and deal with them uniquely.  To tell us more about grief is the Grief Recovery Method Specialist, Charlene Gorzela. After 26 years as the successful owner and CEO of a professiona...

Following her parents' idea of a successful life, Maria Brito chose a dependable career with a solid income stream and became a corporate attorney in New York. Law wasn't her passion, and soon she became an attorney who hated her job. Fast forward some years, she started reconsidering her career choice, feeling guilt and shame, and questioning the example she was setting for her child.  Then,...

Life is meaningless, not from an existentialistic point of view but a strictly analytical one. The things that happen in our lives are just events; we attribute them a meaning. In other words, we have total control over what we make from every experience; we get to choose to be happy, angry, worried, excited, or sad.  This approach to life is one of the many beautiful insights our guest, Bill...

A fortuituous defensive play at soccer cost young Kevin Stone his medial meniscus and his chances of succeeding at that sport. The injury also brought a massive disappointment to him since a surgeon he looked up to decided to remove his meniscus, which he can clearly see today wasn't the best option. With time, he would develop bow legs and the typical medial knee pain that comes with it. He would...

Every time something terrible happens, the "we are nothing" idea and its derivatives float in our minds. It is almost inevitable to take a step back from our distractions and ask ourselves, what is the meaning of life, what are we in this world for? Our guest, Lauren Abrams, realized that no one ever wished they had worked harder or made more money on their deathbed, so the answer should be someth...

There is a common belief that only motivated people can exercise frequently and have a balanced diet. The truth is, motivation alone is not enough. People feel motivated, and motivation, just as any feeling, fluctuates; the urge to stay under cozy blankets instead of running 8 miles is something motivated people feel very often. But then, if not motivation, are there any tools we can use to keep o...

The end of the year is when most of us set the intentions for the following year; we look at what we expect to do better, the aspects of our lives we want to improve, and even the things we would like to stop doing. However, it is also common to forget about them with time and never take the time to assess if we met our previous year's resolutions.  On that note, I decided to dedicate this ep...

Heart disease is the number one killer not only in America but in the entire world. However, if detected and treated on time, these diseases and heart conditions can be reversed through proper diet, exercising, and reducing the effects of stress. Our guest, Dr. Raj Anand, is the living proof of it. After living long years under a lot of pressure and stress in his professional environment, he start...

Our brain can change its structure and functions through a process called Neuroplasticity, which allows us to, by changing the stress response that takes place in our system, alleviate the body of inflammation, and reach homeostasis. Homeostasis is when cells, tissue, and organisms get the stability and consistency required to function normally. After being diagnosed with Chronic Neurological Lyme...

If someone came and told us there is a war for power and survival inside our minds, that we all have superconscious wisdom, that is, in a certain way, kept hostage and censured by stronger, or louder rather, parts of our brain, we will probably not believe it. However, that is what our guest, Leonard Perlmutter, came to tell us today, and he said something even more interesting, that he would pref...

Regardless of the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what we are capable of or not, our minds can be rewired from scarcity to abundance, from fear to love, or from self-doubt to confidence, and our guest, Tommy Breedlove, is the living proof of it. Growing up in a violent household from a violent neighborhood, he committed a violent crime, which sent him away a couple of years. A coupl...

As we already know, we can be our greatest cheerleaders or the ones who stop us from achieving our goals. Sometimes, we get stuck in the what-ifs, overthinking or second-guessing ourselves, and we get paralyzed. Our guest, Scott K. Harris, believes most people do that because of the fear to fail, which is, according to him, the mother of all fears. Still, he is convinced there is a breaking point,...

Traveling is one of the first things that come to mind when we think about improving overall health; it helps disconnect and recharge, exposes us to new things, boosts our creativity, and the list goes on. In the last year and a half, however, COVID restrictions changed the way we look at it. Did traveling turn into a stressful activity? Our guest, Jared Kamrowski, is the right person to answer th...

Perhaps the most common misconception about retirement is looking at it as a finish line when it is more like a pit stop. To Gary Sirak, our guest today, our working life is like climbing a mountain - you get to the top, plant your flag, sit back on a chair to enjoy a cold beer, and then you realize, wait a minute! I still have years to live! What am I going to do now?  Gary Sirak is a Speake...

After graduating from Psychology school, David Hennessey realized he could find simple solutions for complicated things. As an introverted kid, he was always very contemplative, always working through ideas in his mind. Curiosity would always push him to try and make things better, more accessible, simpler. Traveling and living in three different countries with three different cultures and two tot...

Growing up in extremely tough circumstances and then becoming a depressed teenager, having suicidal thoughts, Dr. Dawson Church just couldn't stand being on this planet; he wanted to escape. Eventually, he escaped, but to a spiritual community. He started making progress, learned about energy healing, meditation, and things began to get better for him. Psychology and self-help spirituality would i...

Being active children, practicing collective or individual sports, and realizing any kind of outdoor activity are things that impact massively on our overall health as adults. Our parents or caregivers can instill these activities in us, but there is also a socioeconomic factor since any sports activity outside the school system is paid for. In Vanessa Bogenholm's case, my guest today, she was rai...

As a professional football player, Chris Godfrey's job was to protect the quarterback from the rivals' linemen during pass plays. He would absorb the damage to ensure his teammate's safety, the game's normal flow, and eventually, achieve victory. Time went by, Chris played nine years in the NFL, and when his fourth baby was on the way, he started contemplating not playing any longer. He had no clu...

Contrary to what many of us think, physical therapy is not only about recovering from traumatic injuries; a big part of it is about acquiring habits that will prevent us from paying a visit to specialists. Exercising frequently, walking, and moving around are some of the things all of us have easy access to and can make a difference in our lives in the short and long term.  Joining us today i...
