April 12, 2023 Shame Guilt....The Bully In The Room Featuring Lois Hollis
Welcome to Balance Health Now Podcast
Shame and Guilt are the bullies in the room. They are a
combined negative force that turns our positive emotions into negative.
In this episode my special guest Lois Hollis explains what
shame guilt is and gives great advice for moving past it.
Lois Hollis is a shameguilt educator, counselor, filmmaker,
author who coined the word shameguilt.
Lois has always been a trailblazer as she helped develop one
of the first Kidney Hemodialysis Units in the USA at Thomas Jefferson
University in 1966.
Today she not only shows us why shameguilt has led us to
believe we are victims incapable of stellar lives but also HOW to make friends
with our inner critic and kick shameguilt out of our lives. Lois was dying at
55 and today at 79, rollerblades with her grandson because she healed from the
shameguilt of an abusive childhood.
Lois was scarred with brain traumas, broken jaws, heart,
liver, illnesses with 30 years of migraine headaches. Her impactful story shows
us the immense power we reclaim when we release the shameguilt from our inner
self.
She has lectured widely, including the Wharton School of
Business at the University of Pennsylvania, events, and podcast interviews in
15 countries. Her three books, spirit readings, and films that make shame guilt
visible, will teach us how and why we need to know the trickery of the shame
guilt energy.

March 23, 2023 Ways To Become More Resilient To Stress
Welcome to Balance Health Now Podcast

When it comes to stress, we can’t 100% avoid it, but we can definitely become more resistant to it.

In this episode Michael Sherer provides tools and strategies for understanding your own health and stress and develop more health and resilience.

My special guest Michael Sherer left a 30-year career in IT management to pursue his passion for cutting-edge medical research and problem-solving. Publication of his first book, “One Disease: Redox Imbalance” led to his current collaboration with Dean P. Jones, Ph.D., author and co-author of numerous landmark articles in the field of redox biology.
These articles include “The Redox Code,” “Oxidative Stress,” and “Redox theory of aging: implications for health and disease.” Together, they are working to make the principles of redox theory accessible and actionable to the broader public.
Sherer has been called a visionary, an interdisciplinary problem solver, a futurist, a systems thinker, and a trendspotter.
Family health issues led him to apply these skills to a broad range of medical research and ultimately spurred his career change. His first two books “One Disease: Redox Imbalance” and “Resilience! The Key to Lifelong Health” are foundational works in the Redox Health series of books, which apply the principles of Redox Health to help people live longer, healthier lives, and provide more effective, lower-cost healthcare models for the societies they live in.
