Rejuvenaging with Dr. Ron Kaiser

Although almost all of us have already heard of cybersecurity, the reality is that we know little about it. Most people associate it with software or countermeasures like antiviruses, when in fact, cybersecurity is about planning, risk management, secure code writing, and a whole bunch of different things done by people, not software.  As the world leans into the digital space to deal with ev...

The type of fitness and wellness goals we can aspire to rely mainly on an element frequently overlooked: age. In our 20s, we can wing things, decide out of the blue to start training for a triathlon, and we will most likely get away with it. But after a certain age, we need a plan; we must let the wisdom of age set the pace. For people over forty, physical and mental wellness is about longevity, a...

Planning is an essential part of goal-achieving; accomplishing something without a proper plan or strategy is extremely hard. Still, only planning is not enough; it is also necessary to assess how things are going along the way. For instance, although pilots have an itinerary from point A to point B, weather changes or other unforeseen events will force them to adjust their routes.  This epis...

Fortunately, the incident wouldn't leave any lasting damage. At that moment, celebrating his Ruby Anniversary in a ho...

Many years ago, an article written by the American Council of Exercise called Dr. Michael Mantell's attention. The report was a plan to eradicate obesity in America by 2030 through diet and exercise. Dr. Mantell decided to call the Council and ask them about the third leg of the tripod they left aside: thinking. After a long silence on the other end of the line, a woman told him they'd like to tal...

Soon after he started as a physician, Dr. Joseph Antoun perceived the system was broken. If doctors, hospitals, and the pharmaceutical industry as a whole profit from sick patients, they practice sick care rather than health care. Since that day, Dr. Antoun started pushing for prevention and carried the word across the world. Still, the prevention issue is that it requires constant sacrifice, and...

Committed to becoming an athlete, Mariah Heller started facing unusual health issues for someone her age. She was 16 when she began dealing with chronic pain, and just a few years later, she had to undergo a couple of surgeries. Trainers, fitness instructors, and physical therapists didn't know what to do with her; she was a mystery case. Mariah then had to become her own instructor, fitness coach...

Curiosity has been a massive driver in Kathleen O'Brien's life; it took her into advertising copywriting because she loved to write. She wrote ads for national accounts, and then she took her writing skills into broadcasting. Her curiosity struck again, and she got into broadcasting, delivering news, and interviewing people. On her 60th birthday, Kathleen's curiosity took her in a whole new direct...

When we speak about energy, the first thought is that something woo-woo is coming. But in reality, the concept that everything is made of energy comes from modern science, from quantum physics. All energy carries a vibration that goes into the universe and attracts and collects things that resonate with that vibration. Once Christy Whitman got in touch with this concept, many things in her life ma...

Having dinner with a friend - the CEO of a tech company in Taiwan - Dr. Yen asked her how he could add value and help her team evolve. She replied that assisting them to become better at their decision-making process would add tons of value.

Although resilience is a word we hear a lot, most people have an incomplete definition of it; they associate it with perseverance and having the strength and the endurance to go through anything. To Kristin MacDermott, resilience is a bit more than that; it is also about using difficulties to learn about ourselves, grow, and come to the other side feeling stronger, happier, and a better version of...

Since we are in Freedom Week, and our country is ready to celebrate our Independence Day, I've decided to take a step back from our regular content and make a pause to think about our personal freedom and the thoughts that keep us stuck and prevent us from becoming the best version of ourselves. In this episode, I go through why it is so hard for us to appreciate and recognize our awesomeness, giv...

Stating that happiness is a choice might make some people roll their eyes in disbelief; however, the affirmation is as simple as accurate. All of us have ups and downs in our personal and professional lives. Focusing on the positive side of things will push us towards our goals, and concentrating on the negative aspects will leave us stuck in the past, incapable of evolving. Today's guest, Empress...

Since the beginning, life was particularly harsh with Shawn Harper; physically abused by his father, documented with four or five learning disabilities, kicked out of two schools for disciplinary issues, he was told not to play football because of his knee issues, and the list goes on. "Shawn, you're a loser, you're a failure, you're dumb, stupid" - he grew up hearing those kinds of things. Until...

Human emotions are considered an intuitive response to certain circumstances, moods, or relationships with others. For Doug Noll, emotions are cognitive constructs. He bases his affirmations on studies that explain humans are born with what is called affect labeling, which is a bio-physiological experience of pleasure, pain, or not pleasure. Every variant or different combination of these perceive...

Oftentimes, we forget how powerful and magnetic our minds can be. One of the things Sheila Sutherland learned throughout her transformational journey is that we'll find whatever we're focused on. She discovered that during the years she spent angry and frustrated, she felt physically ill. Her health was poor, and she felt like a hamster on the wheel, incapable of changing anything in her life. She...

After over a year since the pandemic started, we see many places in the world slowly going back to normalcy. Here in America, kids are going back to school, wearing masks outside is no longer mandatory, businesses are opening, and you can enjoy meals in restaurants again. Hopefully, it won't be long until COVID turns into a bitter memory of human history and stops being part of our present. ...

After that, he spent another seven weeks flat in bed with a cast from his stomach to the ankle.

When we think of clowns, the images that come to mind are children's birthday parties, a circus, or a park. Those clowns' mission is to entertain, make the little ones smile, and make happy places happier. However, there is a less known clowning activity, perhaps more significant - humanitarian clowning. Humanitarian clowns' job is to put smiles on the faces of those who feel forgotten or invisibl...

Naturopathy or naturopathic medicine was brought to America from Germany in the 1800s. Although some of its treatments are a couple of centuries older than that, modern naturopathy combines traditional therapies with some aspects of contemporary medicine. Conventional and naturopathic medicine are pretty similar; the main difference is that naturopathy focuses on prevention rather than fighting sy...

The corporate world can be rewarding for some people; we've heard of countless cases where people succeeded and built a fantastic career thanks to their skills, effort, consistency, and commitment. But for many others, the corporate world can turn into a torturing experience. Very often, people experience burnout, exhaustion, and profound unhappiness. Companies are obsessed with delivering the per...

Although most people have heard about yoga, a science practiced for over 6000 years, not many people know how beneficial it can be to enhance physical health and, most importantly, mental wellness. Practicing yoga with the proper guidance is so powerful that it can help people overcome trauma. With only a few limitations depending on the student's age and some specific medical conditions, almost a...

There have been cultural changes regarding money and wealth; somehow, we've created this idea of a lot of money concentrated in a few people's hands that don't deserve it. Wealth distribution is unfair, there's no doubt about it, and it motivated the appearance of trends like "Tax the rich" or "Eat the rich." But it also created a false sense that it is wrong to be wealthy, regardless, and as a so...

Success is often linked with money. When we think that money is what most of the world's population lacks, it is understandable where that idea comes from. However, the story of the sad millionaire is real. People who have it all and yet, can't fill the vast void in their souls. Wealth is not necessarily a bad thing; it is just an amplifier. Whatever feeling dominates, our essence will be there re...
