A major event can cause a turning point in your life that forever changes your perspective. It can be through this event that you learn something critical that other people need to know. From the passion within, this is where a normal person who achieves abnormal results choses to become an Advocate. Expert guests, Joni James Aldrich and Chris Jerry co-authored their book, “Advocacy Heals U”. This came about after they learned how parallel their lives were with their own personal losses. An Advocate may be speaking up for them self, someone else or for a cause that is based on a need. No matter what it is, some benefits start immediately by just taking action. It also feels great to wake up every day helping others and making a difference and yes, it definitely does, help heal!

The Future of Social Security
Click Here for Podcast: AIR-2016-03-13.mp3

We have approximately 55 million people receiving some type of social security income today. With the large demographics of aging Americans and less people in the work place, social security income where it is today, may not be this way, in the future. When Social Security started in 1935, the retirement age was 65. The financial burden did not seem so great with a much shorter life expectancy. Today our life expectancy continues to increase with the largest growing segment of our population being centenarians. Living past 100 years old was not expected when social security started. The policy makers in Washington keep putting their heads in the sand about our social security problem which is leaving fewer and few options. The risk being, in the future, Social Security Income will no longer be the backbone of our retirement!

Vitamin D Facts
Click Here for Podcast: AIR-2016-01-31.mp3

Vitamin D, often called the “sunshine vitamin,” is an important nutrient and perhaps one of the most underrated. It behaves like a hormone in the body, playing a crucial role in supporting and maintaining bone health. Expert guests, Dr. Wayne Cichowicz and Dr. Dan Richardson point out that sunshine must be absorbed into the skin to receive the benefits of Vitamin D, as they discuss the many ways to maintain and build strong bones. As pointed out, vitamin D must have D3 in it, if taken in capsule form. In addition to vitamin D3, by adding calcium and magnesium you have a trifecta that will greatly support bone health. Weight training fitness is another factor that will help build strong bones. Many medications deplete vitamins which should also be considered when taking a pharmaceutical drug for anyone to have optimal health!

Healthy Eyes & Ears
Click Here for Podcast: AIR-2016-01-17.mp3

At or close to the age of forty, our vision and hearing may start to weaken. We could already wear contacts, glasses or readers and may have assumed we never would. Exercising the eye is just like any other part of the body. The exercises can help maintain healthy vision and possibly even eliminate the need for glasses. Expert guest and Natural Vision Educator, John Monroe knows this well after teaching Dr. Bankers Self Help Vision Program for twenty years. You should also have your hearing checked at about age 40. Many factors today add to hearing problems that were not there years ago. Expert guest and Doctor of Audiology, Dawn Heiman discusses the problems and why baby boomers are much more likely than past generations to wear hearing aids. The good news is, hearing aids today are so small you can barely see them!

Contagious Emotions & Heart
Click Here for Podcast: AIR-2016-01-10.mp3

Emotional health and wellbeing is important for you and for those who are close to you. Expert guest, Dr. Ron Podell says our emotions spread from person to person, especially within families and marriages. Positive emotions can inspire and lift us up and negative emotions may do the opposite. Many times we are unconsciously aware that we are mimicking and matching the moods of others. Dr. Toni Luisa Rivera, guest and author of, “A Propelled Heart”, teaches that our emotions play a vital role in healing or causing illness. Awareness and listening to our body’s messages can cause healing on a much deeper level. Dr. Toni listened to her body’s physical pain that allowed her to unlock wounds of the past. This is possible for everyone; it can be done and will impact the quality of your life, forever!
