Mali Phonpadith, Founder and CEO of the SOAR Community Network (SCN), joins Mark Alyn on Late Night Health. Mali is an entrepreneur, author, speaker and marketing strategist. She is also an accomplished poet, television show producer and podcaster who helps small business SOAR in the market. All these roles and titles may sound impressive, but arriving here hasn’t been an easy road.

Mali and her family escaped war-torn Laos in 1979 and arrived in the United States when she was just 5 years old. She did not grow up with money and privilege. Her parents worked two or three jobs to support their four children. Mali and her siblings learned early in life, the importance of hard work and determination. Mali began working in a fast-food restaurant when she was fifteen years old and hasn’t stopped working since. Stress, worry and fear of “not having” ruled most of her young life. This “conditioning” continues to be a part of her life but with a lot of personal development work, her awareness guides her to live more calmly and have a sense of freedom that she wasn’t able to tap into when she was growing up.

When Mali turned 27, she began facing terrible tragedies. In 2003, she lost her fiancé and a family member in a drowning accident. Two years after this painful event, she lost her godfather and 6 months thereafter, suffered the sudden death of her father to a 3-week battle with cancer. Two years later, her best friend passed away, then her uncle to cancer and, most recently, her grandmother to illness. She has weathered seven major losses in less than 10 years. The constant grief can take a toll on the body, heart and mind.

Mark interviews Mali to explore all the ways in which she walked through the grief and continued moving forward, even with all the losses she has had to endure. They discuss practices, techniques, and the emotional stamina required to move from tragedy and trauma toward living every day with intention and purpose.

Rick Olderman, MSPT - Author of Fixing You Back Pain and regular contributor on Late Night Health talks about neck pain and headaches.

One of the biggest culperts of neck pain are the shoulder blades. If our posture or shoulder blades are not resting or moving well this can cause neck pain. When focusing on posture its important to hold your body straight with the stomach muscles and rib cage rather than pulling the shoulder blades back to straighten your body. If you get in the habit of lifting your rib cage to maintain posture; it will expand your lung capacity.

Neil Moroney, son of the late Robert Moroney. Robert Moroney is the author of "Total Body Detoxification". Robert was diagnosed with lung cancer back in the 80's and was give 6 months to live. Rather than the traditional route he sought out alternative methods and continued to live for another 30 years. This journey took Robert down a path of extensive study, research, and education into the world of Alternative Health.

Neil and Mark discuss organic foods and its benefits. Finding local organic food from a local farmer's market is really the best route if possible because the food is fresher and tastes even better.

Neil also discusses detoxing the body and why its so important for your overall health. Food detoxification is an important pillar in our overall health. Juicing is not the only way to detox. The Ion Cleanse, for example, is a very relaxing, simple way to detox. The Ion Cleanse involves filling up a basin with warm water, a couple of electrodes from a control unit go into the water and this creates an ionization field in the water. This helps to draw out impurities from the body; heavy metals, acid, calcification etc... An infrared sauna is another great way to detox.
