Lisa is joined by LeVar Carter who talks about Bully Girl Magazine.

LeVar D. Carter, a native of Roosevelt, Long Island in New York, developed a deep-rooted love for pit bulls and bully breeds early in his life. Growing up in a small town, LeVar's fascination with these dogs grew as he raised a few pit bulls, forming strong bonds with each one. His life took an unexpected turn when he came across the American Bully breed online. Intrigued by the breed's muscular and attractive appearance, LeVar set out to learn more about these incredible dogs.After months of research, LeVar found a trusted breeder, Jonathan Santos of New England Gottiline, located in Dartmouth, Massachusetts. He purchased his first American Bully from Jonathan, who also introduced him to Gottiline Magazine, a publication dedicated to the new breed. As LeVar attended several bully breed dog shows, he not only participated but also won some competitions. LeVar even hosted two huge bully breed dog shows early on, which helped to strengthen his connection within the bully breed community.One fateful day, LeVar discovered that Gottiline Magazine had gone out of business. Seeing a gap in the market and sensing the potential for a dedicated publication, LeVar decided to launch his own magazine. And thus, Bully Girl Magazine, LLC, was born—a publication that would bring awareness to the American Bully breed and help to educate people on how these dogs were not bad like the stereotypes suggested.LeVar faced numerous challenges during the initial stages of starting the magazine. With no background in photography, magazine publishing, or clothing design, he had to learn these skills on the fly. Undeterred, he took various online courses to fill the knowledge gaps, learning about photography, graphic design, business, and marketing. LeVar also faced the challenge of protecting his brand from others who sought to steal the idea. Through determination and quick action, he successfully trademarked the Bully Girl brand and continued his vision.With the increased demand for Bully Girl Magazine and its merchandise, LeVar launched the Bully Girl Mobile App, allowing users to locate and connect with responsible breeders worldwide and access digital issues of the magazine. This innovative addition to the brand made it easier for bully breed enthusiasts to find reliable breeders and stay informed about important events and promotions.Today, Bully Girl Magazine stands as a testament to LeVar's passion for bully breeds and his determination to make a difference in the lives of these incredible dogs and their devoted owners. Through tireless effort and unwavering commitment, LeVar Carter has built a legacy that will continue to impact the bully breed community for years to come. The magazine's journey from humble beginnings to a respected, comprehensive publication highlights the power of dedication and belief in a cause. LeVar's story serves as an inspiration for others looking to follow their passion and create something meaningful.As Bully Girl Magazine continues to grow, LeVar has never lost sight of his original mission—to bring love and awareness to the bully breed. He tirelessly works to dispel the negative stereotypes surrounding these dogs, helping to change public perception and improve the lives of countless bully breeds and their owners.

Lisa is joined by Judy Foreman who talks about her book, Exercise is Medicine: How Physical Activity Boosts Health and Slows Aging. 

Judy Foreman is a nationally syndicated health columnist who has won more than 50 journalism awards and whose columns have appeared regularly in theBoston Globe, Los Angeles Times, Dallas Morning News, Baltimore Sun, and other national and international outlets. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Wellesley College, served in the Peace Corps in Brazil for three years, and received a Master's degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. From 2000 to 2001, she was a Fellow in Medical Ethics at Harvard Medical School. She has been a Lecturer on Medicine at Harvard Medical School, a Knight Science Journalism Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a Senior Fellow at the Schuster Institute for Investigative Journalism at Brandeis University. She has also been the host of a weekly, call-in radio show on Healthtalk.com. She has won more than 50 journalism awards, including a George Foster Peabody award for co-writing a video documentary about a young woman dying of
breast cancer, and she is author of A Nation in Pain: Healing our Biggest Health Problem (Oxford, 2014) and The Global Pain Crisis: What Everyone Needs to Know (Oxford, 2017).

Aging, despite its dismal reputation, is actually one of the great mysteries of the universe. Why don't we just reproduce, then exit fast, like salmon? Could aging just be one big evolutionary accident? Is senescence, the gradual falling apart of our bodies, at least partially avoidable? Can we extend the healthy lifespan and reduce the lingering, debilitating effects of senescence? 

In this book, investigative health journalist Judy Foreman suggests that we actually can, and the key element is exercise, through its myriad effects on dozens of molecules in the brain, the muscles, and other organs. It's no secret, of course, that exercise is good for you and that exercise can extend longevity. What Foreman uncovers through extensive research into evolutionary biology, exercise physiology, and the new field of geroscience is exactly why exercise is so powerful - the mechanisms now being discovered that account for the vast and varied effects of exercise all over the body. Though Foreman also delves into pills designed to combat aging and so-called exercise "mimetics," or pills that purport to produce the effects of exercise without the sweat, her resounding conclusion is that exercise itself is by far the most effective, and safest, strategy for promoting a long, healthy life. In addition to providing a fascinating look at the science of exercise's effects on the
body, Foreman also provides answers to the most commonly asked practical questions about exercise.

Lisa is joined b y William Cullen who talks about his book, Running with Mindfulness: Dynamic Running Therapy (DRT) to Improve Low-mood, Anxiety, Stress, and Depression .  William Pullen is a London based psychotherapist, author, app developer and founder of Dynamic Running Therapy. His focus is to spread the message that movement is medicine - for mind, body and soul. He maintains a private practise in London as well giving talks on mindfulness and mental health.

This perfect gift for runners delves into the positive effect of running therapy, including anxiety relief and reduced stress by focusing on the meditative nature of exercise. This running workbook allows you to practice mindfulness in your everyday routine, whether you prefer an afternoon stroll or a morning jog.

Movement is medicine. Letting your mind wander as you take a long walk, a slow jog, or a brisk run can give you a powerful, uplifting feeling. Some call it a runner’s high, others attribute it to endorphins. In this interactive workbook, psychotherapist William Pullen teaches you how to channel that exhilarating energy and use it to make positive change in your life.

This radical new approach to obtaining the benefits of mindfulness originates in the body itself. Using a combination of mindfulness, focused questions, and exercise, Dynamic Running Therapy (DRT) has proven to be a simple, intuitive, effective, and therapeutic method for managing stress, trauma, anxiety, anger, depression, and other conditions.

With carefully tailored thought exercises to be implemented while on a run or walk, DRT brings the mind into perfect harmony with the body through the healing experience of mindful running.Read less

Lisa is joined by Rebecca Fogg who talks about her book, Beautiful Trauma: An Explosion, an Obsession, and a New Lease on Life.  In 2008, Rebecca Fogg walked away from her New York life and career in financial services to move to London, where she co-founded the Institute of Pre-Hospital Care at London’s Air Ambulance and continues to work, write and learn Scottish fiddle. BEAUTIFUL TRAUMA: An Explosion, an Obsession, and a New Lease on Life (Penguin Random House; Avery), is Fogg’s first book. It was awarded the 2019 Royal Society of Literature Giles St. Aubyn Judge's Special Commendation for work in progress.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

A compelling account of surviving a freak accident, and a fascinating exploration of the science of trauma and recovery.

    Late one night, while Rebecca Fogg was alone in her apartment, her hand was partially amputated in an explosion. Quick thinking saved her life, but the journey to recovery would be a slow one. As the doctors rebuilt her hand, Rebecca (who also survived 9/11) began rebuilding her sense of self by studying the physical and psychological process of recovery.
   Interspersing the personal with the medical, Rebecca charts her year of rehabilitation, touching on the marvelously adaptable anatomy of the hand; how the brain’s fight-or-flight mechanism enables us to react instantly to danger; and why trauma causes some people to develop PTSD and gives others a whole new lease on life.
   Told with emotional and intellectual clarity, Beautiful Trauma is a celebration of the resilience of the human spirit and the wonder of the human hand.

Lisa is joined by Michael Hingson who talks about his book Thunder Dog: The True Story of a Blind Man, His Guide Dog, and the Triumph of Trust at Ground Zero.

Michael Hingson is a #1 New York Times best-selling author, technologist and motivational speaker. Michael, blind since birth, survived the 9/11 terrorist attacks with the help of his guide dog, Roselle. This story of teamwork and his indomitable will to live and thrive is the subject of his best-selling book, Thunder Dog and the major motion picture currently in production, coming in September 2013. Michael Hingson and his guide dog, Roselle, saved dozens of lives by guiding him and his co-workers down 78 floors and out of Tower One just before it collapsed on 9/11. In Thunder Dog, Michael leads us through his moment-by-moment account from inside the tower. The book is also an inspiring look at Michael’s accomplishments in life. Sadly, Roselle passed away in July 2011 but posthumously won the American Humane Association Hero Dog Award for 2012 in a star-studded gala in Beverly Hills, and televised in a special feature presentation on Hallmark Channel. Despite being blind all his life, Michael has a master’s degree in physics from University of California Irvine and is an accomplished technologist. Michael has worked with inventor, futurist, Ray Kurzweil for more than 30 years and was instrumental in the development of the first reading machine for the blind. Today, the Kurzweil brand is the preeminent name in educational software and technology for students with disabilities for which Michael is a national sales manager—improving the lives of children, students and adults with physical and learning disabilities through assistive technologies. Michael Hingson has a deep commitment to education and is Ambassador for the National Braille Literacy Campaign and also serves as Ambassador for the American Humane Association’s Hero Dog Awards. Innovative Speaker’s Network named Michael Hingson “one of America’s top 10 educational speakers”. Michael is a member of NACA and a member of the National Speaker’s Association. In countless TV and radio appearances, newspaper features and magazine articles, Michael Hingson does much more than recount his 9-11 story; he continuously explores the broader lessons of his life and experiences as a blind person in today’s world and shares these lessons to educate, inspire and empower audiences world-wide. Michael has appeared on Larry King five times, and other major national broadcasts such as the Today Show, Fox and Friends, the 700 Club, Joy Behar, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, and the Hallmark Channel.
