Rebooting Lives: Jeff Key's Inspiring Journey as a Marine and Advocate

A Beacon of Hope for Veterans

War veterans often deal with a range of physical and mental challenges, from trauma to chronic health issues, alcoholism and addiction. Jeff Key, a Marine Corps veteran and founder of Veterans Filmmaking Project, battled alcohol and other substances only to find real strength in recovery and a national platform to help others.

Did you know, each month Riverside Recovery in Tampa makes its campus freely available for a variety of veteran’s groups to meet and showcase the many support services available to our veterans? Riverside also provides direct treatment options to fast-track veterans toward recovery and to regain the lives they deserve.

A Calling to Serve:

At the age of 34, Jeff Key embarked on a path known for its physical and mental challenges – the United States Marine Corps. Despite being six years past the Marine Corps age cutoff, Jeff's reasons for joining were deeply rooted in his desire to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, protect defenseless individuals, and promote peace and love. Growing up in rural Alabama, Jeff's upbringing in the Church of Christ and his resilient belief in God and his country served as a foundation for his unwavering commitment.

Breaking Barriers and Opening Minds:

While his journey as a Marine was as challenging as expected, it was Jeff's fearless integrity in remaining openly gay during a time of limited support that truly set him apart. By embodying his constitutional principles and advocating for LGBTQ+ rights, Jeff played a pivotal role in sparking national shifts in military policy. His boldness and unwavering dedication ultimately led to the opening up of military policies across all services, even to this day.

Veterans Filmmaking Project:

Jeff's dedication to serving fellow veterans extended beyond his time in the Marines. After finding recovery from my life of drinking and cannabis, he founded the Veteran’s Filmmaking Project, a heartfelt homage to the working class people of America. The project centers around his comrade Sheldon James, a fellow Iraq veteran battling stage 4 cancer due to years of daily cigarette smoking. Through this film, titled "Clown," Sheldon aims to leave a lasting legacy and raise awareness about the choices one can make in life and the demons inherent in addictive, habitual behavior. Jeff's efforts with the Veteran’s Filmmaking Project aim to ensure that all veterans receive the treatment and care they rightfully deserve.

Championing Veterans' Rights:

Through his play "The Eyes of Babylon," based on his Iraq war journals, Jeff brought to light the experiences and struggles of veterans. He has also collaborated with diverse groups of individuals through his social network initiative, Black Elephant, fostering connection and understanding among people from all walks of life.

Words of Wisdom and Hope:

When asked for advice to individuals facing challenges similar to his own, Jeff Key emphasized the importance of helping others. Drawing from his experiences in the Marines and his journey as an advocate, Jeff's message is clear – if you're hurting, help somebody, and in turn, both of you will find solace. Jeff's unwavering belief in possibility, despite facing numerous obstacles, serves as an inspiration to all.

The Healing Power of Red Light Therapy: A Game Changer in More Than Physical Recovery and Performance

Understanding Red Light Therapy

In simple terms, Red Light Therapy is a technique that uses red and near-infrared light to stimulate our body's natural healing processes. Our cell's powerhouse, the mitochondria, is the primary target here. The therapy triggers an increase in adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a molecule that fuels our cells. This increase reduces stress in the body and aids our cells in rejuvenation and healing.

Dr. Carl Rothschild, a chiropractor, author, and the inventor of Trifecta Infrared Advanced Light Technology, gives us an in-depth understanding of this therapy. With over 25 years of experience in the field, his innovative bed therapy technique has reportedly assisted in boosting physical performance, stimulating cell regeneration, speeding up athletic recovery, fighting muscle loss, and even defying aging.

Empowering the Ordinary: Red Light Therapy for Everyone

While the therapy initially gained traction due to its benefits for professional athletes, it isn't exclusive to them. In explaining how the body’s cells work, he calls the therapy the 'fountain of youth' for anyone seeking to defy aging and boost cognitive function - as a holistic and side-effect-free, non-invasive treatment. As more research unfolds in the field, it continues to generate hope for people dealing with myriad health issues.

In this episode of 'Reboot Your Life!', hosts Cary Harrison and Ashley Neal talk to guests Kevin Peterson, founder of the Chronic Hope Institute and Amanda Marino, a certified recovery and life coach and A&E TV interventionist. Peterson, being in recovery since 1991 feels family of origin trauma and codependency as the root cause of addiction. He discusses his personal journey of recovery, expertise in helping families battling addiction and codependency using holistic healing strategies. Marino shares about her struggles with substance abuse, low self-esteem, body dysmorphia, and her journey to recovery with the aid of counselling and therapy. Marino believes it's vital to help others overcome similar obstacles by focusing on personalized, creative, and out-of-the-box treatment plans for her clients. You can also find support through organizations such as Riverside Recovery of Tampa.

Each with their respective journey from addiction to rebooting their lives, Kevin and Amanda exemplify the power of resilience, self-awareness, and continuous improvement. Through their determined narratives (not to mention unexpected hangover-free New Year's stories), they remind us how we can indeed write our own scripts.

## Rebooting Life: Addiction, Codependency and The Hope that Prevails

During the episode, Kevin Peterson, an author, a therapist, and the founder of the Chronic Hope Institute, joins the conversation. He reflects on his journey of recovery since 1991, his contributions to the field, and his empathetic approach to supporting families struggling with addiction and codependency.

Peterson talks candidly about his childhood - a home filled with addiction and mental health issues that required him, in his tender years, to care for his mother. He paints a stark contrast to the caricatured version of 'normal' we often imagine, one that includes Pop-Tarts, family dinners and fuss-free parenting. Inundated with uncertainties about which version of his mother he would encounter each day, Peterson was inadvertently geared to be uniquely qualified to aid families beset by addiction.

## Recovery: The Unforeseen Rollercoaster

Peterson touches on codependency, highlighting that just as every family is unique so is every journey towards recovery. He clarifies codependency as an implicit pact of working harder on someone's problem than they are, a profound sacrifice that parents make due to their deep-seated love for their children. But he cautions that this philosophy isn't a panacea.

## Manifesting the Path to Recovery

Next, we hear from Amanda Marino, a certified recovery and life coach, who speaks about her transformation from battling substance abuse and body dysmorphia. Amanda discussed their views on health and fitness, emphasizing the importance of self-care and moderation with her personal experiences with food and weight loss, and how her travels to Europe influenced her to adopt healthier eating habits. She also touched on the impact of gluten on digestive health. Amanda shares her moment of change when she gave birth to her first child. Dealing with heavy emotions and grappling with new responsibilities, she utilized that rocky start to fuel her efforts to reboot her life with an aim to provide a safe and stable environment for her son.

## The Unforgiving Grip of Body Dysmorphia

Marino broaches a topic often pushed under the rug: body dysmorphia. She reveals how it hit her hardest when she was at her leanest, marking an unexpected twist in her recovery narrative. Her journey echoes the harsh reality that one's own body often becomes a battleground, with each day devoted to struggling with self-perceived flaws.

## Reconnections to Rediscover Strengths

Amanda's sudden edge towards positive self-image came when she reverted her focus from what she was to who she wanted to be, highlighting the power of proactivity in one's life. She voices out about tuning out the societal pressure and tuning into rebuilding self-esteem to overcome the emotional blockades.

Through their pathways filled with crossroads, both Kevin and Amanda echo the same sentiment: recovery isn't a linear journey constrained to one path. It's an ever-changing, dynamic process, asking us to meet it, engage with it, and learn from it continually.

## Journey Forward

If anything, this episode shows us that by embracing obstacles as stepping stones for growth, one can indeed reboot their life. It might not be an easy process, but as Marino said, it is possible, and no one is alone in their journey. It's all about reaching out, making a difference and finding the strength within to transform the struggles you face into a story of hope and resilience.

Ally, facing her reality, decided to tread the path of recovery. Fast forward 11 years, and here she stands today, a victorious woman skillfully balancing recovery, career, parenthood, and a real estate career of her own.

She walks us through tips and pointers for sailing through the holiday season while maintaining the recovery path.

In the latest episode of Reboot Your Life, hosts Cary Harrison and Ashley Neal unveiled intriguing insights into the intersection of the legal profession, spirituality, and the hospitality industry. The show featured an enlightening conversation with nationally known psychic intuitive, Michelle Welch, and Taylor Mottle, HR manager at Riverside Recovery of Tampa.

First up, Michelle Welch captivated the audience with awe-inspiring tales from her professional journey. As a psychic intuitive possessing otherworldly insights, Michelle brings a unique perspective to the everyday world, raising thought-provoking questions about the role of intuition and spirituality in our lives.

Michelle's unique abilities have taken her places most people can barely comprehend. As an accomplished author and practicing lawyer in Dallas, she integrates her intuitive talents into high-profile court cases, aiding jury selection and shaping outcomes. Michelle's multi-faceted career paints a vivid picture of a woman who has successfully navigated both the mystical and intricate worlds of criminal and civil law. Her keen insights made a compelling case for the existence and potency of intuition and psychic abilities.

Shifting gears to the world of hospitality, we invited Taylor Mottle onboard to discuss the challenges that frontline members face in the industry. With over two decades of experience under her belt, Taylor provided insightful commentary on how her sector is coping with the significant issue of substance dependence.

Striking similarities between her journey in hospitality and recovery emerged as Taylor discussed her strategies for dealing with burnout and stress. Fostering a balanced approach to work-life and self-care is key, she argued, as is building supportive networks that understand and respect the individual’s need for rest and recreation.

The engrossing discussion with Michelle Welch and Taylor Mottle underscored a common theme that resonates across professional spaces and personal lives. The pursuit of an informed, balanced life, where professionalism and personal growth marries mindfulness and wellness, is never a solitary journey. As Michelle and Taylor’s narratives demonstrate, achieving this balance goes beyond mere personal aspiration—it is a collective endeavour that shapes and is shaped by everyday interactions at work and in our personal lives. And, for that reason, it truly is a journey that's worth taking.

She joins the podcast to discuss the importance of resilience and the role it plays in recovering from substance use disorders and mental health ailments.

Dr. Higgins' approach is firmly rooted in understanding the core epidemiology of the disorders and gradually shifting the narrative from addiction and affliction to health and wellness. She emphasizes how recognizing and addressing one's unique biological and physiological needs can drastically impact their recovery process.

Backed by postgraduate education at Harvard, Dr. Higgins brings her vast expertise to the field. Providing a comprehensive understanding of pain management, she discusses the potential impact of positive changes in one's life and the way they can help redefine their existence.

Part 2: EMERGO Academy

The world is grappling with a resilience crisis. With an increasing range of social, emotional and mental distress signals echoing through every corner, it's crucial that we find a consolidated approach to address these issues. Enter Emergo Academy, an initiative that's helping millions of people cope with life crises through recovery coaching. Their mission? To certify 1,000 powerhouse recovery and crisis coaches who will impact 1,000 lives each, thereby paving the road to recovery for 1 million people in just two years.

Emergo Academy operates with a 'brain-first' approach, marking a divergence from traditional crisis management methods. The idea is to treat the brain as one treats a physical ailment; addressing the root cause instead of just working around the symptoms. This approach zeros in on the patient’s unique physiology, to comprehensively heal their bodies and minds.

While we understand addiction as a public health issue, we must first recognize it as a brain disease or disorder, as the Emergo Academy does. They acknowledge that addiction is driven by our very biology, specifically, our brain chemistry. So, an understanding of our unique genetic code and brain physiology is crucial for successful treatment.

Emergo Academy recently launched the Actualized Recovery Community, a new platform that enables anyone with an internet connection to access their resources from home. They offer self-help, crisis support, and treatment methods at the tap of a screen or click of a mouse, making recovery accessible to anyone, anywhere.

Emergo Academy believes in the potential for transformation that lies in each individual's grasp — a comeback story waiting to be lived. The first step to realizing this is acknowledging one's struggles and seeking the help needed to overcome them. The Academy wants to ensure that no one has to walk this path alone.

The impact of Emergo Academy's mission is significant, especially in today's society where mental health issues are widespread and often misunderstood. Rather than solely focusing on symptoms, this academy addresses the root causes to help individuals undertake a deep-seated transformation. By bridging accessibility gaps and eliminating the barriers that prevent people from seeking treatment, Emergo Academy is well on its way to facilitating a ripple effect of global recovery and resilience.

Navigating the Path to Transformation: Lessons from Deepak Chopra And Personal Experiences

New episode of Reboot Your Life is now live! We had the privilege to chat with the legendary Deepak Chopra, unveiling layers of self-esteem and the transformative power of conscious choices. Tune in for an electrifying conversation into the profound realms of leadership, spirituality and consciousness. #RebootYourLife #DeepakChopra #Transformation #Leadership #Spirituality

In a compelling episode of Reboot Your Life, hosts Cary Harrison and Ashley Neal provide deep insights into self-transformation, drawing upon personal experiences and a riveting interview with the legendary Deepak Chopra. This post gives a detailed overview of that transformative conversation and dives deeper into how we can apply these life-altering insights into our lives.

Deepak Chopra, once an esteemed endocrinologist, transitioned into a spiritual luminary who has crossed the bridges of medicine, endocrinology, and spirituality. In this episode, Chopra elucidates on his book, 'The Soul of Leadership', discussing how we can navigate our lives post-treatment, uncovering our newfound strengths whilst recognizing the interconnectedness of our actions and the very fabric of our consciousness.

According to Chopra, neuroplasticity - the brain's ability to rewire itself, is integral to personal transformation. Through conscious exercises of insightful thinking, we have the capability to create new neurological pathways in our brain, allowing us to break free from old, dysfunctional thought patterns and facilitating beneficial changes in our lives.

Chopra demystifies the concept of Self-Esteem. Rather than confusing it with the self-image, which is what people perceive of us, Chopra challenges us to dive deeper into our psyches and unveil the multiple layers of self-esteem. The dance of engagement, conscious choice-making, and the transformative power of conscious decisions make up the essence of self-esteem.

A crucial point across the discussion was the idea of questioning our limiting beliefs. By introspecting and challenging the constraints we have bound ourselves with, we can liberate ourselves from negative patterns and embrace our true potential.

Chopra's wisdom, coupled with real-life experiences shared by hosts Cary Harrison and Ashley Neal, form a powerful resource that influences the very notion of personal growth and recovery. By embracing a new perspective and staying committed to our journey of transformation, we can all rewrite our life scripts in profound and meaningful ways. The path to self-transformation, although riddled with challenges, is achievable and, in the end, incredibly rewarding.

From its title to the content delivery, the documentary series, "REBOOT YOUR LIFE!", is a game changer. Its aim is to show individuals that upgrading their lives is not as impossible a task as it seems. With its insightful approach rooted in science and psychology, it focuses on addiction, personal growth, and self-esteem.

If you missed the groundbreaking show, here is your chance to catch up. This blog post is an adapted review of the podcast that offers a window into understanding addiction and practical life hacks to navigate it.

### Understanding Addiction

A standout part of the show features Cary Harrison and Ashley Neals's chat with Dr. Michael Nuccitelli, a licensed psychologist based in New York. With over 35 years of clinical experience, his work centers on providing educational and advisory services on internet addiction and cyber-predation.

Nuccitelli explains how internet addiction manifests, highlighting the growing dependence on online platforms such as social media, e-commerce sites, and video gaming platforms. Interestingly, he traces the roots of this dependence to the unique psychological state of various individuals. Given the broad spectrum of belief systems and understanding mechanisms among people, the drive towards addiction can differ.

### Dealing with Online Predators

A serious aspect of this episode delves into the threats of internet predators. Falling victim to such predators, as Nuccitelli advises, often stems from the volume of personal information available online and the addictive nature of the Internet.

So, what's the solution? Reduce the amount of personal information you share online and avoid disseminating sexually themed content. This applies not only to adults but to teenagers and children to whom the effects of online scams, bullying, and trolling could be detrimental.

### Unraveling the Complexities of Internal Family Systems (IFS)

The highlight of this episode is perhaps the conversation with Derek Scott, a disciple of the Internal Family Systems model (IFS). He describes the human psyche as a composition of diverse inner personalities that engage in mutual and occasional conflict.

Using the analogy of microbial communities in a gut habitat, Scott explains how different parts of an individual's personality can conflict and result in discomfort like shame or trauma. By processing these feelings and addressing them with care and compassion, he believes the burdens can be released, creating a more harmonious mental state.

### The Role of Riverside Recovery

Alongside these enlightening discussions and insights, "REBOOT YOUR LIFE!" is proudly brought to you by Riverside Recovery of Tampa. This facility prides itself on a comprehensive approach to addiction treatment. They provide a variety of therapy methods, counseling and support services all dedicated to sustained recovery.

The team at Riverside listens to each client's unique needs, drawing up personalized treatment plans to ensure the most effective results.

### Conclusion

In this inaugural episode, Dr. Michael Sore, the Medical Director of Riverside Recovery of Tampa, touches on the physical brain changes caused by overuse of certain substances, likening it to a chronic condition, similar to heart failure or diabetes. He also expressed the importance of recognizing substance addiction as a medical condition that requires specialized treatment, akin to any other chronic disease.
