The Autoimmune Hour

This week’s guest Yvonne Heath, a registered nurse since 1988, became disheartened by our society’s reluctance to talk about grief. Working within many areas of healthcare including emergency, intensive care, chemotherapy and hospice, Yvonne has seen how not ‘talking about ‘it,’ causes excessive suffering in life and at the end of life.

She took a leap of faith, left her nursing career and now shares her message of how to transform grief and sadness with her book ‘Love Your Life to Death,’ and as a Speaker, TV and Radio host, and through social media. In addition to her crucial message of “Just Show Up,” she shares
• How to transform how we talk about grief into healing moments,
• How to escape the ‘silo of silence and suffering,’
• Graceful ways to assert yourself when others think ‘they know best,’
• Ways to defuse the fear as we ask for what we need and hold our boundaries,
plus so much more…

Grief is something we all face; diagnosis, divorce, financial stress, bullying, mental health issues, and yes end of life. It’s all grief! Yvonne Heath’s message empowers you to live life to the fullest and how to come from your heart when the unexpected happens, including end of life.

I’ve been a fan of Dan Millman, author of 'Way of the Peaceful Warrior' plus sixteen other books for decades. Recently, I had the opportunity to experience Dan's 'Peaceful Warrior Way' in a live-workshop and knew I had to bring his wisdom to you.

Dan was 20 years old, and a world-class gymnast, when he shattered his right leg in a motorcycle accident. His healing became a spiritual awakening as he transformed from an ego-driven, Olympic-caliber athlete into a ‘peaceful warrior.’

Dan’s work continues to evolve, to meet the needs of a changing world, and his teachings have now found form as the 'Peaceful Warrior’s Way.'

In this episode, Dan shares with us why your thoughts and feelings are not reality plus

• Six essential words to keep top of mind,
• Three ways to optimize your potential,
• The real purpose of meditation
and so much more...

More about Dan Millman: Dan is a former world champion athlete, university coach, and college professor. His books offer inspiring reminders about life’s bigger picture and higher potential. Dan prefers practical outcomes to abstract philosophy. He affirms that his purpose is to teach, share, and remind people of what they already know (and might have forgotten.)

You can learn more about Dan and his remarkable work at www.DanMillman.com and listen to this transformational interview Friday, August 23, at 7 PM ET and later in a podcast and videocast at www.UnderstandingAutoimmune.com/Dan.

A 1984 study by Beckman and Frankel found that only 23% of patients were able to finish their initial concerns when meeting with their physician before an interruption. The average time to interruption was 18 seconds. A more recent study found the time has dropped to only 12 seconds... No wonder many of you in our @UnderstandingAutoimmune community report you ‘wish I could be heard.’

That’s why I invited Dr. Nasha Winters back to share with us how doctor and patient can become partners in healing. Dr. Nasha is a sought-after speaker and consults with physicians worldwide.

• Where medicine came from and where it’s going,
• How patient and doctor can become ‘co-learners’ in healing
• How to improve your outcomes, and choose a care team,
And so much more...

Alarmed aloneness, that state that’s not ‘fight-or-flight’ and yet not contentment or social engagement… Alarmed aloneness is the place in which we get an elevated heart rate and increased cortisol because somebody (or something) who is important to us has disappeared.
