My guest this week is Matthew Dickson.

Matthew Dickson is the founder of Mind Aid. A website community devoted to helping people in developing countries find various resources for mental health issues.

Matthew was diagnosed with schizophrenia at 22. It took 27 years, but he is now a place where his schizophrenia no longer has dictation over his life. This is due mainly to self-education and learned mental fortitude.

However, the struggles with mental disease has given him tremendous sympathy to those with similar or worse conditions who are without adequate resources available to receive help due to poverty, lack of education, war, government corruption, or all of the above.

This is where Mind Aid comes in.

Natalie is a wellness expert and is the founder of Rooted In.

Rooted In is a company based around one idea: the importance of the micronutrient magnesium. Natalie had previously wrestled with a host of ongoing health issues. She sought the help of doctors, ate healthy food, exercised routinely, used health products - all to no avail.

Not until she began to focus on her magnesium levels did her circumstances finally improve. Today we discuss the importance of magnesium, how far reaching its importance is, why we tend to be deficient in magnesium mineral health, and how we can address it.

James was born without a femur bone. An absent femur bone, along with a small tibia and fibula bone that was first misdiagnosed as hip dysplasia. James options in life appeared to be pretty limited. Even his own grandmother questioned how he would navigate through life.

Nonetheless, James would become an able-bodied swimmer for a Belgian swimming club before switching to disability sports in 2003. James joined the British Swimming's Potential Squad, before being dropped. He then took-up competitive rowing at the behest of the Performance Director at Disability Sport in Wales. Although initially reluctant, James went on to compete in 3 world championships and finished 5th at the Beijing Paralympics.

A man of many talents, James' story is one that both inspiring and informative.
