A Fine Time for Healing

When people talk about Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), it’s usually to refer to wintertime depression. What you might not know is that for some people, SAD can also apply to summertime depression. When most of us are looking forward to fun in the sun, for those who suffer from Summer-onset SAD, life can be anything but enjoyable. What are the symptoms?

Today's special guest, Vinay Saranga M.D., a psychiatrist and founder of Saranga Comprehensive Psychiatry says, “Reverse SAD is real. It’s not about being a party pooper. Summer depression can really bring some people down. The sun, to them, is utterly oppressive. It drains and exhausts them. They are energized on cloudy days. This type of exhaustion can isolate people and intensify feelings of sadness and anxiety.”

More specifically, Dr. Saranga says to look for: agitation, anxiety, fatigue, eating too much or too little, significant changes in weight, unexplained aches and pains, loss of interest in activities that usually bring pleasure, lack of motivation, depression, little to no optimism about things, lacking that zest you usually have, avoiding friends/family/social situations.

Not since the original publication of Think And Grow Rich in 1937 has there been a book that can revolutionize how an ordinary individual can manifest abundance, wealth, and happiness in every aspect of life.

The Lost Secret by today's special guest Monica Main provides both a distillation of key components of Think and Grow Rich and what Napoleon Hill and manifestation experts believe are the two lost chapters that were intended to be part of the 1937 edition. Monica believes that these two chapters were intentionally deleted by the Ralston Society, the original publisher, for being too advanced for readers of that era. These two chapters provide insights into the nature of vibrational manifestation in alignment with present day quantum physics that would have seemed ungrounded speculation in 1937.

Although it is impossible to prove through historical or scientific analysis that these two lost chapters were in fact written by Napoleon Hill, those most familiar with his writing and concepts are united in agreeing that the chapters themselves are full of exactly the advice and wisdom that completes the gift of the original Think And Grow Rich.

Together with the insights provided by author Monica Main, who has used these techniques to generate millions of dollars in wealth, this is one of the most extraordinary books ever published.

Monica Main is a serial entrepreneur with over 20 years of real-world experience in all types of businesses and investments. She has used unconventional wealth-attraction techniques to bet leverage her massive success; Having grown up in the Chicago suburbs int e 70's and 80's, adhering to the spiritual philosophy of Kriya Yoga, a Hindu-based form of wisdom she was able to blend these teachings with those of forward thinkers such as Napolean Hill. Since discovering the two Lost Chapters her life has taken a 180-degree in the best way possible.

In a stressful, chaotic world, many people feel as though their brain is restless and they can’t get out of the cycle of their own thoughts. This is why today's special guest, author and bodywork expert Philip Shepherd developed a new mindfulness technique: The Embodiment Present Process, or TEPP. TEPP is a new style of mindfulness training, taking the focus from ‘listening to your body’ and shifting the focus toward listening to yourself through the actions and feelings within the body. For those who already practice some form of mindfulness training, such as meditation or yoga, this practice pairs perfectly to bring awareness and connection back to the individual and connect them with a higher purpose.

Philip Shepherd is recognized as an international authority on embodiment. His unique techniques have been developed to transform our experience of self and world, and are based on the vision articulated in his celebrated books, New Self New World and Radical Wholeness.The approach he takes heals the frantic, restless pace of the intelligence in the head, which tends to run on overdrive, by uniting it with the deep, present and calm intelligence of the body.  This is an antidote to the prevailing view of embodiment, which involves sitting in the head and ‘listening to the body’; by contrast, Philip’s approach helps us listen to the world through the body. 

His personal path to understanding has been shaped by his adventures as a teenager, when he cycled alone through Europe, the Middle East, India and Japan; by his deep commitment to and studies of bodywork; by his experiences as an actor, playing lead roles on stages in London, New York, Chicago and Toronto; and by the burning desire for freedom that has illuminated his entire life.

Today's special guest, neuroscientist and inventor Amy Serin, is on a mission to help people master their minds and eliminate stress and PTSD. In her book The Stress Switch – The Truth About Stress and How to Short- Circuit it she shares cutting-edge brain science.

Dr. Serin believes that our brains aren’t broke and asks: “What if excess stress was not a chronic, permanent condition to be “coped with” – but instead is a specific type of neurological programming, that could be CURED?  What if what you’ve been taught about how to handle stress was wrong and neuroscience could offer you real solutions?”

Dr. Serin’s approach to switching off the stress switch is both scientific and holistic. She holds a PhD  in Clinical Psychology with a specialty in Pediatric Neuropsychology from The Fielding Institute in Santa Barbara, California. She is a member of the International Society for Neurofeedback and Research, the Arizona Psychological Association, the National Academy of Neuropsychology, and Arizona Children’s Services Network.

Dr. Serin is the founder of Serin Center neuropsychology clinics, and the co-creator of TouchPoints wearable devices - Forbes Top Tech of CES 2019 Award, and CBS Tech Innovation Award Winner

After helping her beloved dog Hayley transition into the Afterlife in 2007, in the comfort of home, today's special guest Dr. Joanne Lefebvre was guided to create Hayley's Angels Veterinary Services, the first home euthanasia service for pets in Southern Arizona, which she felt was Hayley’s legacy. Dr. Joanne has specialized in end of life care and counseling for the past 12 years. She has helped over 10,000 families find peace and closure in regard to their pets’ illness and passing.

She promotes intuitive medicine for the mind, body and soul. She guides families in tuning in with their pets, themselves, Nature & the Universe to make better, fair and personalized medical decisions, prevent diseases and accidents, speed up healing and allow for a peaceful and dignified passing. "Better living & better dying for all".

She is vegan and her life purpose is to inspire all animals & humans to live in balance, as One, with the web of life. She teaches to reconnect with the Source, to awaken our dormant powers & passions and follow our life mission. She dreams that everyone be kind and gently walk the Earth with care & compassion.

Dr. Joanne grew up in Canada and graduated from veterinary school at the University of Montreal in 2001. During her senior year of veterinary school, she completed several externships in highly reputable schools such as Cornell University, Tufts, Colorado and Ohio State Universities. She published her first book titled "Animal Teachings from Hayley's Angels Methods" and is currently writing her second book. With her husband she rescues many animals of all kinds, live as sustainably as possible and has held 7 Compassionfest events over the years to promote "Caring for ALL animals, humans & our planet” in both the US and Canada. She currently lives in Florida, USA.

“Rescue animals can give people the strength to face inconceivable pain,” says today's special guest Carol Novello, author of Mutual Rescue: How Adopting a Homeless Animal Can Save You Too.. “The structure and solace cats and dogs bring to addicts’ lives help ease the grip of their disease and offers them hope that a fresh start is possible.”

Carol Novello is the founder of Mutual Rescue™, a national initiative that highlights the connection between people and pets in order to inspire and support life-saving efforts in communities across the nation and world. Mutual Rescue’s first short film, “Eric & Peety,” went viral around the globe and has been viewed more than 100 million times. A former senior software executive at Intuit, Carol earned her MBA from Harvard Business School and is proud to include several rescue animals in her family. For more information, visit www.MutualRescue.org.

Mutual Rescue™ illustrates how rescuing animals impacts the lives of humans, often in quite profound ways. The lives of both people and pets are enriched when homeless animals are adopted and local shelter groups are supported through donations and volunteering in their communities. It's latest film, “Sarah & Domino,” illustrates this profound truth. It’s the story of a young woman who recovered from drug addiction with the help and love of her rescue dog.

Sarah’s experience is supported by research. A study conducted by Washington State University showed that boys in a substance abuse program who played and ran around with dogs for an hour every week had significantly less hostility and sadness than a similar group who had played video games or basketball.

Today's special guest, Medicine Hunter Chris Kilham considers Ashwagandha to be “the king of herbs” because it effectively addresses so many of the pressing health concerns that impact us today. In addition, this complex botanical containing diverse active constituents, has been used safely for thousands of years in Ayurveda and Unani medicine across the Indian subcontinent. And its traditional uses are corroborated by dozens of human clinical studies. 

“Among the approximately 7,500 plants employed in the world’s most ancient system of health care, Ashwagandha root sits at the top of the pile, in popularity, in benefits, and in status as a health-imbuing herb of inestimable value,” says Kilham. “It is called a rasayan, a life-extender, and is revered. The root and its extracts, rich in a group of novel natural compounds called withanolides, also demonstrate a high degree of safety. One Indian medical doctor said Ashwagandha is the one plant that he can give to anyone, in any condition, without concern.”

Chris is Explorer In Residence for Purity Products, a collaboration that brings to market health-promoting herbal concepts that Chris supports. These products are largely based on his findings on botanical expeditions.

Chris Kilham is a medicine hunter, author and educator. The founder of Medicine Hunter Inc., Chris has conducted medicinal plant research in over 45 countries. Chris works with companies to develop and popularize traditional plant-based food and medicinal products into market successes. Chris is also currently the Brand Ambassador for KSM-66 Ashwagandha, the finest Ashwagandha root extract in the world. KSM-66’s certified organic, whole ashwagandha root extract sets the high bar for traceability, manufacturing excellence, superior composition, and clinical studies.

For 29 years, today's special guest, author of Focus!: Drop the Law of Attraction, Slay Your Goals, counselor and Life Coach; David Essel, has been one of the leaders in the world of personal growth. But he has reached a saturation point in regard to accepting the ridiculous programs that are being promoted today that basically tell us we can sit and do nothing to become incredibly successful in life, finances, our health and more. 

"I am truly sick and tired of reading all of these false promises that books like "The Secret" and "The Law of Attraction" offer. The other day a "Law of Attraction" teacher posted on Instagram: "Whenever you have a negative thought, cancel it out of your brain, use your strength and only think positive thoughts every day of your life."  "That is called insanity!" says David. "Every negative thought that you try to avoid, that you try to push away and cover up with a positive thought, only gets stronger, only becomes more powerful within." 

David Essel's work is highly endorsed by individuals like the late Wayne Dyer, and celebrity Jenny McCarthy says "David Essel is the new leader of the positive thinking movement." He is the author of 10 books, four of which have become number one bestseller's. David's work as a counselor and Life Coach has been verified by organizations like Psychology Today and Marriage.com has verified David as one of the top relationship counselors and experts in the world.
