Health at every size: the data against dieting and fat phobia | Linda Bacon, PhD joins The Vital Life to discuss her book, Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth about your Weight. Current guidelines recommend that "overweight" and "obese" individuals lose weight through engaging in lifestyle modification involving diet, exercise and other behavior change. This approach reliably induces short term weight loss, but the majority of individuals are unable to maintain weight loss over the long term and do not achieve the putative benefits of improved morbidity and mortality. This concern has drawn increased attention to the ethical implications of recommending treatment that may be ineffective or damaging. A growing trans-disciplinary movement called Health at Every Size (HAES) challenges the value of promoting weight loss and dieting behavior and argues for a shift in focus to weight-neutral outcomes. | 5/18/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Secrets of the millionaire mind | T. Harv Eker joins The Vital Life to discuss his book, “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind.” Eker will discuss his theories about the individual and emotional relationship with money that can make us rich or keep us poor. After being a millionaire then losing all his money, he realized that his own ‘inner money thermostat’ was set for a specific amount of financial success and that everyone has a similar, personalised financial set-point. His most profound discovery was that this ‘money blueprint’ could be re-set, just like the thermostat on your central heating. Eker will talk about how he was able to reset his own blueprint to not only create success but to maintain and nurthure this as a legacy for his family. | 5/11/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Donald I. Abrams, M.D | Whereas the majority of the public can recognize tobacco use as a cause of avoidable cancer and cancer mortality, fewer are aware that nutrition, obesity and physical activity issues are responsible for roughly an equal amount.

Special Encore Presentation: Sex, Love and Relationship Addiction in Women | Karen Brownd joins the Vital Life to discuss sex, love and relationship addiction in women. Focus on sex addiction began in the mid 1980’s with Patrick Carnes. There were no gender specific residential programs for females with these issues. Many women believe the “society stigma” is too destructive to openly seek help in this area, along with careers, taking care of children and limited financial options. Most of the women seeking help have love and relationship issues and use sex as a way of competing with others to find love. Most women present for treatment with substance dependency issues or eating disorders. The rate of depression and isolation is high and many have had suicide attempts due to the “self-shame” or hopelessness that they will never be loved. Sexual abuse, rape and abandonment issues in childhood are very common trauma issues that bring many women to treatment. | 3/30/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Living Your Truth – Don’t Just Know the Truth, Live It! | Amir Zoghi joins The Vital Life to get to the heart of what it means to really live your truth. Many today believe not only that everything happens for a reason, but that we create our entire reality. Many believe in the "law of attraction" when they manifest a check to come, but not when a bill arrives. Others leave it up "to the universe" in allowing things to happen, but then they forget to show up 100% and wonder why things don't manifest. If you really knew you created your entire reality, would you fear any experience, and would you have the courage to show up 100% in all areas of your life? | 3/23/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Surviving Cancerland | There is almost always a point in the process of illness where logic, reason, and medical expertise fails. It’s at this point a patient slips through the cracks, sometimes never to recover. Kathleen O’Keefe Kanavos joins The Vital Life to talk about how she survived cancer twice using something the medical profession does not acknowledge as being real – intuition and prophetic dreams. She also used these same methods to advocate for herself during the course of cancer treatment often going against the advice of her doctors. Dr. Dream, Kelly Sullivan Walden will join The Vital Life as well to discuss the power of dreams in the healing process. | 3/16/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Transcending Your Troubled Childhood | Why do some individuals transcend the turbulence of childhood as they transition to adulthood, while others are doomed to replicate the past and remain mired in the dark memories of their history? James P. Krehbiel, a cognitive therapist explores, joins The Vital Life to explain and answer this pivotal question he explored in his book Troubled Childhood, Triumphant Life. While many people enjoy happy, robust youths filled with love and support, for others childhood memories are riddled with painful recollections of hurt, neglect and shame. Repressed feelings centering on a troubled upbringing are habitually veiled beneath the cloak of what Krehbiel calls the "magical illusions." that children cling to as they grow up. As adults, they still seek to gain the approval and validation of their absent and/or abusive parents. Krehbiel offers solution-focused strategies to assist adults in overcoming the perils of their past. | 3/9/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

PARTNERSHIP OF INTUITION AND DREAMS | Intuition and dreamwork are mutually supportive. Intuition originates from that same "right brain" modality that is also the origin of dream imagery. They both speak the same metaphoric language communicating in pictures, symbols and images. Operating through a dream, the Intuitive mind can foreshadow upcoming events and be used to retrieve rapid insights and clarify the meaning of the dream. The benefit of intuitive dreamwork is learning how to use intuition to go right to the bottom line to unravel the puzzling dream messages, and hear the preparatory dream messages that foreshadow upcoming events. | 2/24/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

How to Stop – or Reverse – Heart Disease Naturally | Despite billions of dollars in annual sales, prescription drugs are failing to stop or reverse heart disease. Why? It’s because they are used to treat a theory of heart disease (the risk of elevated LDL cholesterol levels) – rather than an actual underlying cause. Dr. Decker Weiss will explain why the prescription drug approach is wrong for treating heart disease and how to reverse heart disease naturally. | 2/10/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Isabelle Tierney | In this interview, Isabelle Tierney talks to Dr. Ross about The Feel Good Solution to End Overeating for Good. The Feel Good Solution is a spiritual path to end overeating - a radical approach that will forever change the way you see your relationship with food and your body. It’s a 5-step process to help you understand, heal, and finally end the painful cycles of overeating, deprivation, and shame. You will discover how every single aspect of your overeating struggle is sacred, from the habit itself to your repeated attempts to heal it. Overeating is not a curse that you need to get rid of, but rather, a gift that points you to your disconnection from your deepest Self. You will learn why you should forget “no pain, no gain”, tasteless diets, and miserable exercise routines. Learn how pleasure, love, and awareness are far more effective strategies to end overeating and truly love living in your own skin. | 1/27/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Making Miracles | Join The Vital Life with guest Lynn Woodland to discuss how to make miracles. Her book, Making Miracles, is an experiment that immediately turns the reader into a participant in a miracle-making experiment. It invites readers to bypass space and time and reach out in loving compassion to others wherever they are. A miracle, as the author it, is an event born in unconditional love. It has a healing ripple effect on everyone it touches and seems to defy the laws of the natural world as wonderful results unfold by way of serendipity rather than effort. It has a win/win, positive outcome that shows up in an instantaneous or coincidental way and it often feels beyond what we thought could happen, so our beliefs about what’s possible stretch a little wider. The deeper miracle is the love that gives rise to the visible effects and the love that these effects inspire. | 1/20/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Special Encore Presentation: Making a Living vs. Making a Life: Acting on Your Intuition to Live Life “in the Zone” | There are two paths to happiness in life, with two very different outcomes. One path is to force it and attempt to make it happen, while the other is to allow it to happen. The unlimited human potential is reachable through allowing it to happen, through living Intuitively. We are all intuitive, males or females, it's just that some use their intuition far less than others or maybe not even at all. Your intuition is just like any other muscle, the more you use it, the more dominant its presence becomes in your life. But to use your intuition does not just mean to listen to it, it means to act on it. Amir Zoghi lives his entire life through Intuition and shares in a simple & relatable way exactly how to use Intuition in the modern world. "Did you really come here to make a living?" Amir asks of his audiences, "or did you come here to make a life?" | 1/13/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Mood Cure | For the 25% of Americans suffering from winter depression and, for the millions more suffering year-round depression or anxiety this book offers an effective and natural approach. Author, Julia Ross, is a pioneer in the use of brain-targeted nutritional strategies to correct the all-too common neuro-chemical deficits that can often underlie our negative moods. She will explain how simple brain-fueling proteins, or amino acids, can quickly raise levels of powerful nutrients like serotonin, our natural anti-depressant or GABA, our natural tranquilizer. With 20% of U.S. adults now taking at least one prescription drug for depression or anxiety, it is important for us to know that safe alternatives are available. Mood-enhancing nutrient supplements and foods can build in permanent emotional well being, without side effects. | 1/6/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Soul Sisters on “What’s it like to be in my skin: race relations in America” | The Soul Sisters include the host of The Vital Life and her two younger sisters. They will discuss their lives and relationships as sisters who were born into the same family but whose lives took very different paths only to converge at the time of their mother’s illness. Born almost exactly 6 years apart with 12 years between the oldest and the youngest, they each grew up differently yet were marked by the same irrefutable family DNA. These three women from a well-educated middle class, family grew up caught between two worlds. Not quite ethnic enough to be accepted by the African American community they were born into yet not a part of white America. As they face life's challenges they take comfort, learn and grow from their sameness, sometimes reveling in, sometimes resenting the bond that joins sisters for life. | 12/23/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Men with Eating Disorders | Men with eating disorders have been underrepresented and underserved. Research in the last decade has shown that the number of males with eating disorders appears to be increasing. For example, traditional estimates cited 1 in 10 individuals with eating disorders are male. Now the estimates are closer to 1 in 3. Why this increase? The public is becoming more aware about eating disorders and the media and advertisers market more and more to males with bulk up products, and also now, diet products. Ron Saxen and Chris Clark join The Vital Life radio to discuss how men can find help for their eating disorder and how families can support males with eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. | 11/11/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Treating the Human Energy Crisis--Effective treatment of fatigue, pain CFS & Fibromyalgia | Because of the changes in modern life, we are seeing a human energy crisis of historic proportions. Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum joins The Vital Life: Awakening Your Full Potential to discuss the causes of this energy crisis. Approximately half of our calories are devoid of nutrients resulting in high calorie malnutrition, Sleep has decreased by one third, The speed of modern life has increased, and we have over 80,000 chemicals added to our environment causing toxicity and hormonal dysfunction. This has resulted in most people being Fatigued, as well as a potent trigger for pain – which afflicts one out of four Americans. The good news? Treating with the SHINE Protocol (Sleep, hormones, infections, nutrition, and exercise) has been shown in research to not only dramatically improve energy but to also eliminate pain. Using fibromyalgia as our model, patients had an average 90% increase in quality of life. In today's show we will teach people simple and fun ways to reclaim their vitality. | 10/28/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Kenneth Blum | A major problem in the Chemical Dependency field is that out of the existing 12,000 clinics in the United States only a select few realize that addiction is a brain disorder having genetic causes that increase the risk an individual will use and abuse psychoactive drugs. These drugs all increase the release of dopamine in the reward circuitry of the brain. The net effect of dopamine function is a major cause of craving and relapse. The addict during treatment is suffering from low dopamine function in the brain which increases his or her risk for relapse. Treatment of addictions (including process addictions such as gambling and sex addiction) must address the brain reward deficiency with substances that activate not block the needed dopaminergic action in the reward site of the brain. Dr. Blum joins The Vital Life to discuss his many years of research into the use of amino acids to heal the addicted brain. | 10/21/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Women’s Spirituality | Mary Faulkner joins The Vital Life radio to discuss her new book “Women’s Spirituality: Power and Grace. Faulkner will discuss how her book takes the reader on an extensive journey from the dawn of creation to the present day, looking at women’s unique spiritual expression--what they hold as sacred, where they go to be spiritually renewed, and how they express their deepest values in the world. Faulkner looks at religious themes throughout history, including the rise of goddess as a spiritual symbol of women’s diversity and tenacity. Women are not required to believe in goddess as a divinity, Faulkner maintains, but to understand her symbolic importance. Faulkner will also discuss women’s involvement in Jewish, Christian, and non-denominational arenas--noting no one group captures the complete essence of women’s spirituality, rather it is characterized by its diversity. | 10/14/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Healing Trauma and Addiction | Judy Crane joins The Vital Life to discuss her extensive experience in treating trauma and addiction. Trauma can be described as an event or events that have taken place in a person’s life and have caused a lasting negative or unpleasant reaction in their mind, body or spirit. Trauma treatment is a unique type of treatment that incorporates multiple styles of methods and modalities to form a gentle and healing treatment environment. Trauma Treatment is often considered a more in depth type of treatment due to the extreme fragile nature of the clients that seek it. Unresolved trauma manifests itself in a number of self destructive ways that include self harm, eating or restricting to mollify negative feelings, gambling, workaholism and internet addiction. These behaviors become a way to deal with the pain of the underlying trauma. Judy will discuss the ways in which she and her highly trained staff use holistic approaches and experiential methods to treat trauma survivors. | 9/30/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Treating Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) without drugs | Dr. Sanford Newmark joins The Vital Life to discuss the Integrative Treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD has become one of the most common childhood problems, with up to 6 to 8% of children and 10% of boys having this diagnosis. Stimulant medications like Ritalin are the first line of treatment in most children, and while they are often effective for short term symptom control, they do not get to the root of the problem and long-term effects are still unclear. Dr. Newmark’s integrative approach uses a number of more natural, safe, and yet effective interventions, all with a scientific evidence base. These include working with diet, food sensitivities, nutritional supplements, behavioral and school interventions, and other alternative therapies. This results in an overall treatment plan that can often, although not always, eliminate or decrease the need for medication, and empower children for long-term success. | 8/26/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Heal Yourself with Writing with Catherine Ann Jones | How do we put together the pieces of the past? How can we rewrite our life story? Our lives may be less determined by our past traumas than by the way in which we remember them. Healing and transformation depend first on listening to the body’s story without words, then visualizing and rewriting one’s own new life story. If we learn how to re-frame the pieces of our past and rewrite our life story so that our pain becomes meaningful, we can radically boost our chances of healing, empowerment, growth and transformation. Join award-winning playwright and screenwriter Catherine Ann Jones ("Touched by an Angel") in this unique exploration into the power of story to heal and transform. | 8/12/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Changing the Addict’s or eating disorder client’s Default Mode: Yoga; Meditation; Massage | Dr. Ralph Carson joins the Vital Life radio to explore the role of meditation, massage and yoga in the psychotherapeutic process. He will focus especially on treatment concerns specific to the alcohol and drug and eating disorder population. While traditional psychotherapy addresses the mind through the relationship between client and therapist --- body, mind and exercises are client oriented modalities that enable the client to establish relationships with him/herself by accessing information from their subconscious state. The body can serve as a conduit between the murky waters of unconsciousness and cognitive awareness. Body mind oriented therapies can be very effective at addressing early trauma and sexual abuse as well as addiction and eating disorder behavior. Brain imaging technology lends credibility to neurological changes created by these modalities which include neural rewiring, altering brain wave patterns and enhancing the immune response. | 7/29/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

What is Superstress? | Dr. Roberta Lee joins The Vital Life to discuss what she calls “superstress.” We manage (we think) with less sleep, less exercise, more work, eating junk and processed foods on the run, fueling up with caffeine and sugar.

Energy Healing for Increasing Vitality and Self-Healing | We are born with a supply or yolk sack of energy that we use in the first half of life. As we age, we have to gather energy everyday or we begin to become more and more tired. This begins to happen around the age of 40. Most of us do this gathering through daily exercise, although we still need to gather energy even when we do not have time for a daily exercise routine. Besides gathering energy, our health and vitality also depend on how we clear stagnant or blocked energy in the body. Through simple movement techniques and energy practices, we can restore normal energy flow in the body and facilitate healing. This show will focus on the concept of energy medicine and how using these simple energy-healing techniques will increase vitality and begin participants on the road to self-healing. | 7/1/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Dr. Esther Sternberg | Can stress make you sick? Can belief help healing? Do the place and space around you affect your health?These are the questions that Dr. Sternberg explores in her books “Healing Spaces: The Science of Place and Well-being” and “The Balance Within: The Science Connecting Health and Emotions”. Dr. Sternberg will answer these questions and will address how the science of the mind-body connection explains these phenomena. She will discuss how the physical environment, through each of the senses, can affect emotions negatively or positively, by triggering the brain’s stress or relaxation responses. These in turn explain how place and space around can either help healing or potentially harm health. Dr. Sternberg will review the many connections between the brain and the immune system, which underlie these effects. Understanding these concepts will allow individuals to structure their personal environment and activities to best buffer the negative effects of stress. | 6/17/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Intuition, Telepathy and Animal Communication | Deborah Erickson, MBA will discuss the parapsychological and intuition research that has supported the existence of cognitive “knowing” beyond the physical senses. Electrophysiological evidence of intuition has shown that the heart’s and the whole body’s perceptions are constantly receiving, processing, and decoding intuitive information. Perhaps the heart, or the heart’s electromagnetic field, may be a source of intuition. Telepathic interspecies communication may be facilitated by utilizing specific meditation techniques to quiet the mind, slow the brain waves, and shift consciousness to a level outside of time and space. Using our natural intuitive and telepathic skills is fundamental to animal communication, which anyone can learn. It’s a matter of learning how to quiet your mind with meditation skills and techniques, being receptive and open-minded to subtle impressions, and opening your heart chakra to the interconnectedness of all sentient beings. | 6/10/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Radical sleep: An integrative medicine view of sleep and dreams | “We don’t get sleep because we don’t ‘get’ sleep,” says Dr. Rubin Naiman. “Before we can effectively address the growing epidemic of sleeplessness, we need to take an honest look at what sleep is and how relate to it in our world.” Naiman, the leader in the development of alternative and integrative approaches to sleep and dreams, will address essential questions overlooked in most discussions of this topic. These include the meaning of sleep and dreams, deep-rooted causes of sleep problems, and alternative approaches for healing them.

How to use metaphors to understand struggles with disordered eating and negative body images | Although struggles with eating and weight appear to be struggles with food, fat, and dieting, according to Dr. Anita Johnston, author of Eating in the Light of the Moon, they are actually misguided attempts to feed deeper, metaphoric hungers that exist out of our conscious awareness. Because we live in a culture that is so literal, we tend to mistake physical hunger for those invisible inner hungers that can never be fully sated by the food we eat. Finding and interpreting the symbolic meaning encoded in our food cravings, fears, and eating behaviors can help us discover those hidden hungers much in the same way that interpreting our dreams can reveal important information about our deepest longings and fears. Through a lively mix of myth, imagery, and storytelling, Dr. Johnston shows the audience how to decode the symbolic language of their eating behaviors so that they can find and feed their hidden hungers and free themselves from struggles with food, fat, and dieting. | 5/13/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
