- 8 Minutes to Ageless - Episode 69 - Making Important Decisions
EPISODE SUMMARY:
Dr. Pearson continues to describe the negative impact of our personally created drama cyclones and how it robs us of energy and life force. This week she talks about the pain of making a decision that you know deep down is not right, but yet still feel justified in making.
ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS…
- We don’t get to live the kind of life we would like to because of the self-imposed drama we create.
- Are you not being fluid when making important decisions?
- You may feel justified in the decisions you have made, but deep down inside you know it’s not right.
- Are you pretending so that you don’t see the details that are unpleasant or will force you to make even more significant decisions?
- Dr. Pearson gives a personal example.
- Are you hiding from the conflict your decisions make and pushing your belief forward even though you know it’s not right?
- Does the decision you are making, need to be done at that exact moment or can it be held off for a better time that will not cause you drama?
- Have your decisions hurt others or caused damage to a relationship?
- Stop pretending and stop hiding from the deeper details while making decisions.

22 min - 8 Minutes to Ageless - Episode 61 - Oh It Will Be Fine
EPISODE SUMMARY:
Dr. Pearson talks about the silly situations her patients have reported that have led to chronic and hard-to-heal conditions. The theme of her message is the need to seek treatment sooner than later. The body is amazing in its ability to heal, particularly if you give it a head start.
Recommended books:

ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS…
- Dr. Pearson starts by telling us a story from when she was 18.
- She had broken her hand and believing that it was healed removed the cast against her doctor’s wishes.
- Now she has an overgrowth bone in her hand that sometimes hits her nerve and causes numbness and sometimes pain.
- She looks back now and realizes that she probably should have been more cautious and listened to her doctor.
- Dr. Pearson then tells us a story about a mountain climber that broke his leg and shattered his ankle in his early 20s.
- He didn’t go see a doctor for several weeks after the injury and by the time he did the doctors told him it was too late to do anything.
- Now that he is older he is having to deal with a lot of pain from that injury.
- Thankfully Dr. Pearson has been able to help him with movement and he will get a little better, but he will never be the way he used to be.
- Another story is about a young gentleman who tore his Achilles heel while playing basketball.
- He did have surgery, but no PT and he continued to play on it hard.
- Over time it affected his knee.
- Pain is our best friend; it can tell us when something is not right and we need to attend to it.
- A gentleman fell on a dock and broke about 4 or 5 ribs that ended up puncturing his lung.
- He didn’t do anything to help with his rib mobility while he was healing and this affected his ability to bend.
- This also affected his back and he ended up with acute lower back pain.
- The overall point of all of Dr. Pearson’s stories is to take care of your injury.
- Get in to seek professional help right away and then follow it up with proper care and learn how to move that injury the way it was supposed to move again.
- DO NOT WAIT TO GET CARE!

About 8 Minutes to Ageless
From the publisher's feed
This podcast is terrific for anyone over 40 and under 100! It’s an excellent listen for those who want to live well up to the day they die. While that sounds morbid, it is better than dying a slow…
death unable to move during the ten years before that final day.
