Transitions From War

On Episode 51we talk with Jason "Jake" Jean, owner of Tattered Beans Coffee. Tattered Beans launched as a mission to sell good coffee and directly support veterans and first responders with every sale. Their unique model of having vets and first responders as envoys gives customers the ability to choose who they want to support with each purpose, knowing that $4 of each bag of coffee sold will go directly to that individual. No middleman, no restrictions. Simple and effective.

Jake and I talk about his service in the Air Force, why Montana (where he served) is such a bad ass place filled with tough cowboys, how he came to found Tattered Beans, and why this model of supporting those who serve our country and communities is so simple and so effective.

I am a sponsored athlete with Tattered Beans and each sale of coffee I make goes directly to my fundraiser for the Ironman Foundation's Gold Star Initiative. All you have to do is keep drinking coffee through Tattered Beans and $4 from each sale goes to the fundraiser. How's that for a win-win.

Dr. Shauna Springer returns to the show and talks about how we can understand suicide and how to prevent our friends and loved ones from attempting or completing a suicide by taking on this enemy using the same principles of the Marine Rifle Squad. Many times the topic of suicide is discussed with a helpless and morose tone, but this conversation is not that. Doc Springer fills us in on how we can empower ourselves and our friends.

Dr. Springer discusses some of the concepts from her upcoming book, "The Fox in Our Gut" and how the bonds of love forged in war are stronger than the despair we can feel.

Doc Springer is the author of "Marriage for Equals" and is a regular contributor to Psychology Today.

Chris Albert returns to cohost as we talk about the practicalities and personal experiences with meditation. Is this something just for dudes with grey ponytails and dream catchers or is there something for the rest of us? Will it turn you into a complete panoche?

We get into what people can gain from a breathing practice, how it changes our moods, and gives us more choice in how we react to situations.

Resources to get started:

• The M21 Meditation Challenge
• Hardwiring Happiness - by Rick Hanson
• The Untethered Soul - by Michael Singer

In today's episode we speak with Patrick Benson of War Horses for Veterans. Patrick is an Army Vet who struggled to readjust to civilian life after returning from Iraq. He tells us about the highs and lows and what lead him to found War Horses for Veterans.

As Patrick explains on his website:

"War Horses for Veterans is the premier horsemanship, networking and personal growth program in the U.S. We are a Kansas City based nonprofit that brings combat veterans from across the country together in a safe and peaceful environment.

Our 3-4 day programs are designed to teach the basics of horsemanship and create a network that will provide outlets for other opportunities and friendships. We use a combination of learning to work a horse, creating new networks and Equus/Life coaching to help each veteran with their own personal growth.

There is no cost to the veteran. Veterans may return as often as they like, as long as they bring another combat veteran."

This is part two of our talk with Dr. David Lunow, a practicing MD and avid Spartan Racer. Dr. Lunow is passionate about helping male veterans and first responders with common hormonal imbalances caused by many things, including chronic stress, PTSD, and lack of sleep. Today we get into more about sleep and nutrition.

David was born in Minnesota and raised in Indonesia to missionary parents. He completed college degrees in Biblical Theology and Biology before entering Medical School. He moved to Fort Worth, Texas in 2002 for residency in Family Practice and completed a fellowship in Emergency Medicine. He has been practicing ER medicine since 2006 in Fort Worth.

During the past decade of ER work, Dr. Lunow has come to recognize that most diseases and chronic conditions are at least exacerbated by lifestyle decision if not caused by them. This has led to active research on healthy lifestyle practices which include diet, exercise, and the role that vitamins, minerals, and in some cases Hormone Replacement therapy can accomplish, not only to mitigate the development of chronic medical conditions but also to dramatically improve one's quality of life.

Find Dr. Lunow on his website ApexHealth.org to learn more and schedule and appointment.
