  • 42: Pete Mills - The Sweet Kill
    The Sweet Kill embraces the internal conflict between the light and dark. Spawned from the suicide of a lover, The Sweet Kill serenades the afflicted.

    This melodic black-hearted dirge claws into the soul emancipating one from this psychologically infected world.

    The diviner of this millenarian angst is Pete Mills, who writes, produces, and performs The Sweet Kills mandate. When gothic abrasions cast mysterious shadows The Sweet Kill passionately executes a sublime form of sophistication.

    Driven by a genre bent obsession of 80’s new wave, 70’s punk, urban beats and a current neo-emo lyrical aesthetic, The Sweet Kill refracts the melancholic struggle between love and addiction in a beautifully unsettling fashion. Through this fractured dark distortion, The Sweet Kill exudes timelessness, transcendence, and redemption.

    Close your eyes to see, life is but a dream, so let us forever sleep in the duality of The Sweet Kill.

  • 41: Maria Salvatore - Recovery Yoga and Kula for Karma
    Maria Salvatore is a 500-hour trained and certified yoga instructor (500-RYT), with additional training in yoga for trauma and addiction and Y12SR (yoga with the Twelve Steps).

    Based in Northern New Jersey, Maria has found her niche with a special group of clients: those who suffer from anxiety, depression, and addiction and trauma. She sees yoga as an earnest companion for growth that is both physical and mental, an invitation to openness, compassion, and mindfulness. “My primary intention,” Maria says, “is to help people learn to heal themselves.”

    In late childhood/early adulthood, Maria was plagued by addiction, body image issues, and broken relationships. These all experiences eventually led her to heal and transform mind, body, and soul. She experienced it as “alchemy,” left her corporate job, and went onto become a yoga teacher and studio owner. From her hometown of River Vale, she has taught happiness, global awareness, and joyful living for over 12 years.

    Maria has devoted her life to inspiring others to be themselves through spirituality. She believes yoga can be one of the most effective recovery tools that people can add to their quest for lasting sobriety. She knows this because she too has a recovery story. She can be found speaking at venues nationwide where proceeds go to various philanthropic organizations aimed at helping with addiction and recovery. Her motivation is simple: to bring awareness to mental health and addiction, and end the stigma around these topics so people will ask for help.

    Maria has extensive knowledge and education in health, wellness, fitness, anatomy and holistic nutrition. However, she believes that inner work is most rewarding. “My journey is pretty simple,” she says. “It is to help people accept themselves. To notice shortcomings that they may want to change. My mission is to break the stigma around mental illness and drug addiction and help people realize that deep salvation, healing, even a life of joy is possible! And sometimes, you have to start with something so strangely obvious you almost miss it, like a post on social media. I feel it is my responsibility as a human and as a yoga teacher to share the message that you can heal, in body mind and spirit.”

    When she is not in the yoga studio, you can usually find Maria walking her Chesapeake Bay Retriever, riding horses with her daughter, or spending time at home with her husband and two cats. Maria gives thanks to all her teachers and students.

    In addition to her own practice, Maria is also on the executive board of Kula for Karma, an inspiring nonprofit organization that brings therapeutic yoga and meditation to those most in need, transforming lives and changing the face of healthcare—one person at a time.

  • 40: Dear Nurse Susan - Live Healthy and Pain-Free with Medical Cannabis
    Susan Marks, aka Nurse Susan, is passionate about the therapeutic benefits of cannabis. She is a medical cannabis patient. She has a progressive neurological movement disorder, and cannabis (high CBD, low THC) has allowed her to stop anti-seizure medication and the intolerable side effects.

    She is also a highly qualified healthcare professional, holding a nursing degree and several nursing certificates. She works with medical patients who want to include cannabis therapeutics in their health management program.

    During this fascinating conversation, Susan gives a history of the hemp plant as a product and cannabis as a medicine. We hear how political and financial motivations forced this highly valuable plant to become labeled a dangerous drug and eventually become placed as a Schedule I narcotic.

    The three criteria for a drug to be included in the federal list of Schedule I narcotics are:
    1. No medical benefit
    2. Addictive
    3. Very unsafe and dangerous

    Does it meet these criteria? Nurse Susan believes it does not, listen in to hear why she feels this way.

    What is the difference between THC and CBD? Nurse Susan explains that basically, CBD works from the neck down and THC works from the neck up. However, she feels strongly that using the complete plant and portions of all the cannabinoids is the optimal way to treat a medical condition therapeutically.

    Does this mean you're going to get high? Not necessarily as this can be completely modulated and controlled. But, you need both. Why? Because the CBD diminishes the psychoactivity of THC and the THC boosts the effectiveness of the CBD.

    Why do different people experience different responses to cannabis? Two reasons, the product and the individual. When it comes to product, Susan says, "There's a lot of crap out there" and you have to make sure it is lab tested. And individuals need to start with a low dose, pay attention to the response, and adjust their protocol based upon that response.

    "Know the product, know it's safe, and know how you respond."

    PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Cartels are now spraying cannabis with Fentanyl to make it highly addictive, BEWARE!

    What inspired Susan to become an advocate for medical cannabis? And what's the most badass thing she's ever done? Listen in to find out!

    Background and LInks
    Susan Marks, RN, BSN, PHN, is a cannabis nurse and a member of the American Cannabis Nurses Association.

    Susan educates and consults with clients on:
    - The endocannabinoid system and how cannabis works in their body and is specific to their disease or issue
    - How to select safe and reliable products
    - The dosing process
    - The risks and benefits of cannabis
    - Identifying drug interactions and avoiding unwanted side effects
    - Understanding that cannabis is a treatment within a continuum of care which involves interacting components and being able to integrate cannabis with the client’s current treatment choices and lifestyle.

    With this knowledge, her clients can make informed decisions about their cannabis regimen.

    Nurse Susan states, “I am very grateful for this plant, and I’m committed to working with other patients who can benefit from cannabis therapy.”

    Susan works with patients with several medical conditions, visit her site for more details.

    Susan has received certification in the following subspecialties:
    - Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality (CPHQ)
    - Public Health Nurse (PHN)
    - Legal Nurse Consultant (LNCC)
    - Catastrophic Case Management and Life Care Planning
    - Susan was inducted into Sigma Theta Tau, International Nursing Honor Society.

  • 36: Dr. Sanda Moldovan - Heal Up! Seven Ways to Faster Healing and Optimum Health
    Today Dr. Sanda Moldovan provides us with tips to help you heal better and tells us why “the mouth is the gateway to a person's health and well-being.” Learn why certain foods are best and find out Dr. Sanda’s thoughts about how healing can be helped by water, light and energy, oxygen, plants and more!"

    Dr. Sanda Moldovan is the founder of Beverly Hills Dental Health and Wellness. An award-winning periodontist, she tirelessly advocates non-narcotic alternatives for healing, which is the subject of her new book, Heal Up! Seven Ways to Faster Healing and Optimum Health (Available in September 2018, Advantage / Forbes Books).

    The Holistic side to Healing
    Listen in to find out why Dr. Sanda got into the holistic side of healing when many other dentists have not. She tells us that after she finished periodontal school, she began using the same treatment on different people with different results. Her curiosity about how the body heals and how she could improve healing led her to conduct research, as well as attend medical and nutritional conferences from which she began to apply the techniques she learned to patients who hadn’t healed well in previous treatments.

    She tells us that the information related to better, faster, optimum health and healing has grown exponentially in the last few years and, with that, she is here to share her wisdom about alternative and natural ways to heal our bodies.

    Heal Up! Non-Narcotic use in Oral Surgery or Dentistry or both?
    Primarily written to help her patients, she realized that healing in the mouth is the same as healing elsewhere in the body. Find out how our bodies suffer injuries and heal every single day, and what you can do to aid the recovery process, not just from day to day routines but from surgery too.

    Alternatives to Narcotics and What we should be Asking?
    Learn why we should challenge the medical professionals and not just accept what they say when it comes to prescribing medication for pain relief. Listen in to hear Dr. Sanda explaining how Bromelain, a natural anti-inflammatory enzyme that comes from pineapples, is as effective in controlling pain, after wisdom tooth removal, as prescribed drugs are. Tune in to discover other alternatives to narcotics can aid in pain relief anywhere in the body.

    Find out why Dr. Sanda recommends low-level laser therapy to help with pain control and why she uses this treatment in her office every day. She tells us that it’s been around for years, and it can be used almost anywhere on the body.

    Drugs Mask the Pain
    Listen to Dr. Sanda’s belief that Ibuprofen drugs like Advil and Motrin, dull the pain and impede the healing process by slowing it down. She explains how our fast-paced lives mean we want to feel good right away, and taking a pill is not the right way to go. This is what she tells her patients “it’s all about techniques and lifestyle choices that we have to make to heal and feel better”.

    What will we find in Heal Up!?
    Tune in to find out what Dr. Sanda’s book is all about. She tells us that there are seven chapters which don't have to be read in any particular order. Listen in to her telling us how healing with supplements and homeopathics are great natural remedies to really help to decrease pain and speed up the regeneration of bones, and other soft tissues in the body. She shares her knowledge of healing with oxygen and why most of us don’t get enough.

    Find out why healing with water, meditation and getting enough sleep are vital to be able to heal properly. She also tells us how healing with food can help to shorten the period of pain and inflammation by choosing the correct diet and lifestyle choices.

    What should I be looking for in Water?
    Dr. Sanda tells us why she uses a PH meter at home and why she recommends this to anyone who is interested to find out about the PH balance in their water. She explains that the best water for healing is spring water due to its alkaline PH and tell us how this helps to balance the acidity in our bodies.

    Background
    Dr. Moldovan's award-winning expertise in biological dentistry has enabled countless patients to learn how to bridge the gap between their mouths and their bodies. As one of the nation’s leading advocates for nutritional and homeopathic support for oral health and healing, she frequently appears on the Emmy-winning television show, “The Doctors”, as well as guest spots on “Inside Edition,” and NBC News. Her patients are from all walks of life–working mothers, police officers, educators, CEO’s, athletes, and Hollywood celebrities whom all share the common desire to live a long and healthier life.

    Listen in to hear Ivan’s intriguing history: how his relationship with his father, life in the military, and his own divorce led him to the year of introspection that changed the course of his life, and become inspired to help other men connect and find a source of support.

    Men supporting men
    Hear Ivan’s theory on why men may find it challenging to openly support one another, and why he’s working to tear down the wall and let them know that it’s okay to admit that they are having a hard time, facing depression, or questioning the direction of their life.

    Ivan talks about how he wants to reverse this tough mindset so that men can feel empowered by sharing these challenges, rather than emasculated.

    Man as the provider
    Here, Ivan discusses the pressure and expectations placed on males to be the main provider and caregiver, and how media, movies, and sports all urge men to be winners.

    Questioning that status quo, Ivan brings up the fact that many women out-earn their husbands, and that the “man as provider” role no longer has to be the norm.

    You will hear about Ivan’s changing family status, and how he came to see his father in a different light for taking a back seat to his wife’s successful career.

    Ivan also talks about the reason some men struggle with gender reversal roles.

    Low self-esteem and the link to self-destructive behaviors
    Tune in to hear Ivan explain the cyclic behaviors of substance abuse and how these self-destructive behaviors are connected with a lack of self-worth and pride.

    Mid-life understanding
    Reframing the concept of a mid-life crisis to a mid-life understanding or awakening, Ivan dives into the most common theme for his mid-40’s clientele - who reach a certain point in life and start to question if the path they have been on still feels authentic and worthwhile.

    Find out how to deal with this phase of your life, and move on to finding a more fulfilling experience, as Ivan shares his tips on keeping a relationship alive, discovering your purpose, and motivating others with your unique take on life.

    Take a chance on yourself
    Learn about the importance of assessing who you really are; what your core values and belief systems are, and exactly HOW to pinpoint those things in your life that you are truly interested in and passionate about. Ivan talks about the importance of stepping back from the autopilot life you’ve been living and finding a more purposeful path.
