Judie Henninger is a breast cancer survivor and joins us to talk about her journey using a combination of traditional and alternative health practices. Two years ago Judie went in for a routine mammogram and check up, which she did every year. After the mammogram the doctor asked her to come back for an ultrasound because they saw something. After the ultrasound they did a biopsy and she was diagnosed with breast cancer on her left side.

The waiting process between the mammogram and the ultrasound and the biopsy and then eventually the results was awful emotionally. The results were breast cancer and it was in one node. They asked her that day if she wanted to consult with a surgeon which she did. The treatment recommended as a mastectomy on the left side and chemotherapy.

Judie chose both an alternative health and an traditional health approach to treatment. She chose a surgeon, a plastic surgeon and an oncologist. She used acupuncture, meditation, teas, and various other things during her chemotherapy to help with the side-effects. She actually managed to avoid nausea during the chemotherapy treatment.

Now Judie spends her time mentoring and encouraging other women who are facing the same thing she had to face with breast cancer.

Simone Ravicz, PhD is a Brain Coach and author of Brain Boosters: 7 ways to improve your brain. Dr Simone joins us to talk about how we can change our brain and therefore change our thoughts and behaviors. You can actually physically and structurally change your brain. With age your brain actually begins to shrink around the age of 40. Through various exercises you can increase the size of your brain which makes it function much better by improving clarity for example. Diet also plays a part in brain health and mental clarity. These brain exercises also help with memory and people who implement these exercises have actually regained 4 years of memory function.

Through Dr Simone's book Brain Boosters you can learn what exercises to do to help the many different functions of the brain. Your body can grow new neurons at any age, the neurons don't just simply die off as you age. Some of the techniques in the book help to prevent dementia and Alzheimer's.

Diet is one of the keys to brain health. Dr Simone encourages people to follow a Mediterranean diet because the foods on this particular diet are instrumental in brain health and awareness as we age. Staying away from saturated fats and certain foods can help as well especially with memory.

Mark Alyn interviews Denise Dorfman, author of Speak Your Truth: How You Can Recover from Lupus on this edition of Late Night Health. Denise was diagnosed with lupus in 1996. Instead of following the traditional route to surviving lupus, Dorfman decided to blaze a trail of her own.

Late-Night-Health Debra-Dorfman-Speak-Your-TruthDenise believes, “Many people today are being diagnosed with autoimmune diseases, especially lupus, and they are told there is no cure. People are going to demand answers as to why they have this disease and how they can heal.” After she received her diagnosis, Denise began researching lupus and its causes. She came to the conclusion that the metaphysical cause of the disease was a person’s refusal to stand up for oneself. She decided that she wouldn’t allow herself to fall into that group and made affirmations and self-confidence her mantra. These daily practices, changed her mindset, which in turn, helped heal her body.

Through the use of her level II Reiki certification and a change in lifestyle and thinking, she emerged six years later with no active disease. Dorfman tells Mark about how she helps to bring healing to others who suffer from lupus with her book.

Mark and Denise explore the power of positive thinking, meditation, and affirmations. They will discuss how these practices changed Denise’s mindset and her overall wellbeing.

Today, Denise is living a happy and healthy lifestyle, speaking on the topic of emotional healing, mindfulness, and metaphysical practices to support living healthier lives.
