Thanksgiving is right around the corner and “You don’t have to feel thankful to be grateful.”

Then we begin the march to the December Holidays. MORE. More people, more planning, more noise, more food, more memories, more fatigue, more feelings, more decorating, more shopping or crafting - You get the idea. The holidays can be a challenging time for people precipitated by variety of reasons. Both “Merry and Bright” can be joyful, or illicit sadness.

Tonight we’ll talk about the challenges of the holidays, and possible work-arounds to ease the stress.

Recovery Now is a gathering place for anyone seeking recovery from the challenges of life on life's terms. Guests share their experience, strength, and hope. We discuss useful tools that have helped us lighten the load, of our journey through recovery. More will be revealed. This is a "we" recovery program, because it is in the "we" that we find the new "me". We focus on the four A's of Recovery: Awareness, Acceptance, Action, and Adaptation. This is a place for survivors striving to become thrivers. For that, it takes a good bit of warrior!

Tonight We’ll be discussing “The Scoop on Poop: What Your Gut’s Been Trying to Tell You!”

You’ve probably heard that your gut is your “second brain” — but what does that mystery really mean? We’ll explore the gut‑brain connection, how your digestive system and microbiome influence mood, immunity, and health, and what to do about it. Some may have heard these resulting issues referred to as “Leaky Gut Syndrome.”

“Your gut speaks—are you listening?”

Tonight's show is focused on specific tools to aid in recovery. Practices found in DBT, CBT, and other skills training. After major trauma we often find we are ill equipped to cope in the most productive ways, both physically and mentally. We may get discharge orders, but no clue how to adjust to our "differently-abled" lives moving forward. We focus on adding tools to our box, broadening our ability to "respond" positively, rather than "react" in self harming ways.

Join us for a discussion about varied ways of processing information, personal and societal responses to anything unlike that of the status quo, and how to embrace your uniqueness.

Many of you have heard that Blog Talk Radio is closing their operation any day now. We're SAD because we've run Brain Injury Radio broadcasts & On Demand Programming there since 2009. So many great hosts and listeners. We're MAD because they gave us so little notice to make other arrangements. They aren't going on, but our shows will be!

We're going to have a two part means of doing this new arrangement. We will broadcast from Zoom (Download your free Zoom account now if you haven't already) and then watch for announcements on social media for the invitation link to join us live. After the live show, it will be transferred over to Spreaker for listening at your pleasure.

Now the link below showing a new page highlighting all shows in our history since 2009!  After clicking link below find your banner or fave hosts' & click it. Poof. All of your programs (or most - more to transfer for currently active shows) - and you will be able to preview our new home for On Demand programs. Know you will enjoy hearing the shows, as well as forwarding the link to people looking for support, awareness and advocacy regarding brain injury. Pretty cool for each show to have its own page! We appreciate you all so much for your contributions over the years.

Know your labels!!  Join us as we discuss shopping for better health - The quality of the food chain has slid to what can be detrimental for optimal health. The spotlight is starting to shine on what to look for to enable our food to be medicine, not poison. With obseity at near half the population from children on up, it's time to recognize over-eating isn't always the culprit. It doesn't help, but much of it is chicken and egg theory. No pun intended. The problem may well stem from ingredients we aren't even aware are in our food. Big business, with some big consequences. We will also include liquid foods, and enteral feeding. This show is a gathering place for anyone seeking recovery from the challenges of life on life's terms. Guests share their experience, strength and hope. We discuss useful tools that have helped us lighten the load, of our journey through recovery. More will be revealed! Tune in, and call in.

I had known Bill for many years, when I learned he'd suffered a TBI. He'd had a lengthy road of recovery the past couple years, and then a severe car accident too. Bill was always strong as a bull, and few have had a more colorful past and turn around. Between his own addiction, chronic pain, and mental health challenges - He fought like the warrior he had always been and overcame, continuing to live a life of service. In spite of his challenges, Bill had a heart bigger than most. I was blessed to have him as part of my life for so long. Bill Keck was a dear friend who passed in 2021, but his story lives on. Prior to his retirement, Bill, a US Navy Veteran who did two tours in Nam, developed an alcohol and drug treatment center, within a Homeless Shelter. He worked there for almost 20yrs, during which he wrote a book about recovery and miracles. See: youtube.com/watch?v=HHjh6OZvwug We were out of touch for a few years, so I was shocked to hear about his brain injury. After being a host for so long, I wonder if he had prior blows to the head during his service, either to our country or at the shelter. God Bless you Bill - You are missed. This show is a gathering place for anyone seeking recovery from the challenges of life on life's terms. I introduce topics, and survivor's share their experience, strength and hope. We discuss useful tools that have helped us lighten the load, of our journey through recovery. More will be revealed! Tune in, stop in and call in. This is a "we" recovery program, because it is in the "we," that we find the new "me."  We focus on the four A's of Recovery - Awareness, Acceptance, Action & Adaptation.

Dr. Paul Wand is a clinical neurologist in private practice since 1982, having vast experience diagnosing and treating neurological conditions for 40 yrs. He has always had an active interest in research since medical school. His clinical research interests include newer and more effective methods of diagnosing and treating neurological conditions. The advantage of his unique and innovative treatment protocols stem from combining traditional and alternative methods, a field known as integrative neurology. He has developed a multidisciplinary treatment approach to Traumatic Brain Injury, post-concussion syndrome, Autism, chronic pain, arthritic, neck and back pain, hormonal imbalances and peripheral neuropathy, especially the diabetic type. His protocols have demonstrated effectively they can reverse neurological deficits whereas the traditional treatment cannot. Dr. Wand's combined approach of traditional and alternative treatments seems to be the most effective when treating and reversing what is usually considered to be permanent damage to the central and peripheral nervous system. Because there is NO standard treatment for Concussion, Dr. Wand wrote The Concussion Cure, 3 Proven Methods to Heal your Brain. The book is unique in genre since it is the only book which explains how to both diagnose and treat all the symptoms of a concussion with two specific tests which themselves generate the treatments.
