Ronan Tynan is an Irish tenor, physician and former Paralympic athlete who won 18 gold medals and set 14 world records. 

Ronan gained international acclaim as a member of the Irish Tenors. You can read about his extraordinary life in his autobiography, Halfway Home My Life Till Now. Ronan is here to speak to us about the transcendent power of music and how music can help us live more fully in the moment. 

Ronan Tynan knew what he wanted to do with his life after an epiphany he had when he was 7 years old.  Both of his parents installed him in at an early age that nothing is impossible. 

Later in life he realized that being a singer was as healing to the world as being a doctor. He realized that vulnerability allows people to open up blockages and that music tends to cleanse people in ways they might not even realize.  

Not only can music heal divisions within a person it also has the power to transcend and heal divisions that separate us as a society. He explains, “No matter how much anger or contempt that people can have for each other, sometimes a piece of music can bring people and unify people in the most amazing way.”

Dr. Denias Tapscott’s story began in 2014 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After a traditional medial approach, she shifted and ultimately found her cure at the Institute of Functional Medicine. This process forever changed her career -- and her world view. 

Dr. Tapscott specializes in functional medicine, adult holistic primary care and obesity medicine. She believes that it's not enough to diagnose a disease or to treat a symptom without understanding the root cause. Testing beyond the conventional labs helps her to address nutritional, metabolic, genetic and hormonal optimization. Tapscott believes that everyone has a life story that influences their health.

The functional medicine approach is used for chronic conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, dementia, depression, gastrointestinal conditions, cancers, and autoimmune diseases. It doesn’t treat the symptoms with medicine, it looks even deeper to find the root cause of disease.  

For example, sometimes the root cause of depression can be related to nutritional deficiencies which affect the gut microbiome, which in turn affects the ability to make neurotransmitters. It also might be a sleep problem, too much nutrients or hormonal imbalances. 

If you want to learn about Omega 3’s, which fish to eat, the rage over the microbiome, vitamin D, and what the intake form looks like the first time you visit a functional medicine doctor, listen in.  Dr. Tapscott is generous with her wisdom. She explains, “Too often we rely on someone else or something else to fix us. What we try to emphasize in functional medicine is that you're in control. You just need the knowledge to create your optimal wellness.”

Our guest today is ABC News correspondent and best selling author Dan Harris at ABC. Dan has been co-anchor on Good Morning America and on Nightline. Although Dan has recently stepped down as the anchor of Nightline to focus more on the business that has grown out of his New York Times bestselling book on meditation, 10 Percent Happier How I Tamed the Voice in my Head, Reduced stress without losing my edge and Found Self-Help that actually works. Dan continues to co-anchor the weekend edition of Good Morning America as he hosts an ABC radio podcast inspired by his book called 10 Percent Happier with Dan Harris. We are so excited to have Dan with us today to talk about how meditation has impacted his life and how we can all get started meditating.

Dan’s life took a radical turn when he was on the air on Good Morning America in June 20034 and had a panic attack. He turned to meditation to turn around the inner narrator in his head.

His first meditation experience was terrible. He confesses it took him a year to move from 5 minutes up to 10 minutes. In this podcast, he will tell you why feeling anger or fear during meditation is just something to notice.

Today he is a meditation evangelist who caters to skeptics. Once you know what is happening in your mind, you don’t have to get yanked around by it. Harris explains, “The good news is that you are not stuck with your level of happiness, your level of calm, your level of distractibility, your level of compassion. These are all skills that are susceptible to training.”

Dive into the details on this incredible podcast on the calm, focus and mindfulness which can be yours through the practice of meditation. More From Dan Harris Twitter @10percent Facebook @tenpercenthappier Instagram: @tenpercenthappier

Dr. Matthew Johnson is the associate professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He is an experimental psychologist and an expert on psychoactive drugs (such as psilocybin) in the psychology of addiction and risk behavior for over 12 years. 

In this podcast, Dr. Johnson describes how the psychoactive drugs act like a psychological therapy, where self observation can be heightened like a helicopter shortcutting a patient to the top of the mountain to deal with addiction or depression. Often only one experience is life changing. Unlike most traditional drugs, psilocybin is not addictive and there are no known lethal doses. In addition, this type of therapy works to treat the underlying roots of disorders rather than treating symptoms. 

Psychoactive drugs tend to connect different areas of the brain, causing synchronicity to occur. Dr. Matthew Johnson explains that often times facing the adversity in life is where you find the meaning in it.
