| 309 Residential Insights Improve Care – McCartney-2 | 18 Apr 2019 | 00:38:45 | |
Residential Insights - The Quiet RevolutionWe care for kids from 6 to 17 in a residential environment with a variety of problems from misbehaviors at home or school - to suicidal ideation. At Barry Robinson we set plans from the outset to help each child achieve an improved sense of personal responsibility and self awareness in a balanced, caring environment. Our teams objective: to redesign the standards for residential care.~ Robert McCartney Rob's Residential Insights - His Quality Care Mission As Executive Director of The Barry Robinson Center, a short-term 72-bed non-profit behavioral health system/residential program for both children and adolescents in Norfolk, VA, Rob sets a new, exemplary standard for residential care through improved residential insights. In this interesting episode, Rob discusses important details in the evolution of family-oriented residential care, including his innovative program to dramatically decrease physical holding and how he abolished seclusion as a means of child/adolescent management. You will appreciate hearing Rob's report on the evolution of his programs and how he manages to keep families together even though far apart. From the time they come in, he's planning on their going home. Ed Note: This is a republish of an earlier interview with insights about the evolution of residential care. Rob's Most Significant Contribution For years The Barry Robinson Center, here in Tidewater Virginia, only a few miles from our offices here at CoreBrain Journal and CorePsych, remained stuck in outdated thinking so prevalent even today in residential care facilities nationally. That world has changed. Their programs work with clients both nationally and internationally. Succinctly, Rob's treatment mission connects both individual/personal values with family evolution in innovated connected ways that help with the transition back home. Rob's leadership coupled with his excellent team, as you will hear in this CBJ/309 Episode, brings an explicit, deeper, more thoughtful treatment mission to an already remarkable campus. Here he tells you why and how. Rob's Residential Care Insights

| 221 Essential Tremor & High Frequency Ultrasound – Smith | 17 May 2018 | 00:23:25 | |
Essential Tremor Responds to High-Frequency Ultrasound Steve Smith (his real name) owns a small technology reseller and has been dealing with Essential Tremor - ET - a widespread but little-understood condition, for over ten years. It impacts his quality of life daily, as he struggles to drink a cup of coffee, hold a screwdriver and type. Last year, his symptoms worsened, and his golf play deteriorated to the point where he could no longer compete. As you will hear in his report he couldn't hold a club. High-Frequency Focused Ultrasound - For Essential TremorThen one year ago, in March, Smith underwent a new non-invasive procedure approved by the FDA just last year. Suddenly, his hand wasn't shaking any longer. Of Note: More than eight million people suffer from Essential Tremor and other movement disorders, but many remain undiagnosed and ineffectively treated. This avid golfer loves to share his story with others - it's truly inspirational. Also called High Intensity Focused Ultrasound - HIFU - Steve was treated in New York by Dr. Michael Kaplitt. Note: We have Dr. Kaplitt scheduled as a CBJ Guest quite soon, and his interview will come through our publishing schedule about a month from this CBJ/221 publication date. See more info on Dr. Kaplitt below, and stay tuned for that interesting conversation. One question I plan to review with him is the subject of the application of HIFU for Parkinson's. About Essential TremorIn addition, ET is hereditary, and in Steve's family was passed down by his mother. His brother and sister both suffer from ET. Essential Tremor started to show when he reached the age of 50. He's now 62. Essential Tremor occurs while doing normal things, for example, holding a cup of coffee, holding a fork or spoon to eat, etc. In particular, Essential Tremor became obvious in his golfing, putting and while at rest with the club in his hand. Smith reports, "It's very difficult to putt when your hands shake." His Doctor, Dr. Michael Kaplitt, MD, Ph.D. Reports on HIFU"Yesterday I became the first doctor in New York to perform an exciting new procedure on a patient with essential tremor, using high-intensity focused ultrasound to target the source of the tremors. I’m happy to report that the patient did extremely well, and the surgical team watched throughout the procedure as his tremor diminished visibly before our eyes. Focused ultrasound takes advantage of a technology that has been successfully used to treat uterine fibroids and breast and prostate cancer, but of course, any procedure involving the brain is far more complicated than treating any other part of the body. Ultrasound waves have been shown to be benign in the body, but they normally scatter when passing through the skull. The new procedure relies on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to pinpoint the exact location in the brain responsible for the tremor, then uses MRI guidance to focus the many ultrasound waves on that location. In yesterday’s procedure, the patient was fitted with a helmet that held an array of 1,000 sources of ultrasound energy, each beam so small and low-energy that it passed harmlessly through healthy brain tissue on its way to the lesion that was causing the tremor. When all 1,000 beams reached that lesion together in one tightly focused treatment pulse, the combined energy destroyed the lesion — without damaging any healthy brain tissue. All of this was accomplished without a knife or an incision. My team and I mapped out the target and then monitored the procedure as MR thermometry measured the temperature at the target site;... | |||

| 216 Restore Earth – ASD Gut & Brain Connections – Bush-2 | 01 May 2018 | 00:52:47 | |
Connections Between Gut, Earth & Brain Improve Treatment OptionsYou carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment.~ Nhat Hanh Zach Bush MD, Charlottesville, VA., is one of the few triple board-certified physicians in the country - with expertise in Internal Medicine, Endocrinology and Metabolism, and Hospice/Palliative care. The breakthrough science that Dr. Bush and his colleagues have delivered through Restore offers profound new insights into human health and longevity. In 2012 he discovered a family of carbon-based redox molecules made by bacteria. He and his team subsequently demonstrated that this cellular communication network functions to compensate for glyphosate, and many other dietary, chemical, and pharmaceutical toxins that disrupt our body's natural defense systems. This exciting discovery provided demonstrable results surprisingly quickly in my office with a very refractory adolescent Autism Spectrum Disordered client, so I called him up to ask him for this interview. Understanding HowThis discovery als0 resulted in a revolutionary class of dietary supplements, including their product, Restore. Dr. Bush points to his kids as the driving force behind his passion for change. His drive for comprehensive biomedical reform for our collective futures is evident in this evocative episode. His education efforts provide a grassroots foundation from which we can launch change in our legislative decisions, ultimately up-shifting consumer behavior to bring about a radical change in the mega industries of big farming, big pharma, and Western Medicine at large. Listen up to Dr. Bush's global vision for comprehensive, data-driven change. He's quick, smart, entertaining and right on. Personal Note

| 215 Autism Markers & New Data Targets – Woeller-2 | 26 Apr 2018 | 00:49:47 | |
Autism Spectrum Markers: Expert Opinion On Biomedical Testing For ASDYou can have data without information, but you cannot have information without data.~ Daniel Keys Moran Dr. Kurt N. Woeller became a biomedical autism specialist many years ago in 1998. An original Defeat Autism Now! (DAN!) Referral physician, he has years of experience in researching and implementing advanced biomedical interventions based upon autism spectrum markers from laboratory testing, for individuals suffering from autism spectrum challenges. He now works as the Autism Outreach Clinical Director for Great Plains Laboratories in addition to his interesting treatment and training practice linked next. His extensive network of exceedingly helpful educational websites, books and webinars provide parents of individuals on the autism-spectrum, as well as physicians and other healthcare providers treating autism, access to an abundance of valuable information regarding the latest biomedical intervention systems. Ed. Note: This Dr. Woeller interview is the second in this CBJ Autism Series, and republished from our earlier CBJ interview because of its essential value to both parents and professionals on many levels. *Photo by Mark Tegethoff on Unsplash Connections To Understand More About Autism Spectrum MarkersProfessionals: To engage in direct interaction with Dr. Woeller you can subscribe to his biomedical autism training website at AutismRecoverySystem.com - an in-depth resource for both professionals and parents. Public: You must participate in Dr. Woeller's other recent mentoring program, The Autism Global Summit - AGS - an outstanding group of professionals who team up to discuss biomedical applications and informed, practical understandings in everyday life for those suffering from Spectrum Disorders. Thanks, Dr. Woeller for inviting me as a Guest Speaker on AGS to discuss the almost taboo subject of psychiatric medications for Executive Function and ASD issues for your interested audience at the Autism Global Summit. My uncomplicated point at AGS: If we aim to treat the entire Spectrum, then specific medications can help - if used correctly. The reason for so much medical treatment failure with those trying to treat ASD issues with psych medications is at once simple and complex: overt denial of underlying biomedical impediments that interfere both with meds and supplements. Consider, for example, the pervasive national denial with ubiquitous IgG issues. Because so much of ASD often does involve Executive Function why not put that subject on the table? At AGS I discussed the most pervasive problem in psychiatric diagnosis and treatment today: Cognition, Executive Function Diagnosis, and Medical Treatment including Biomedical Interventions. Dysregulation of Executive Function with Cognitive Desynchronization does exist beyond the labels and appearances of ADHD. Due to the metabolic challenges with ASD, one must understand the medical parameters and options to intervene as correctly and comprehensively as... | |||

Photo by Artak Petrosyan on Unsplash Reference Details For MTT: Article AbstractMicrobiota Transfer Therapy alters gut ecosystem and improves gastrointestinal and autism symptoms: an open-label study. Publication Microbiome - Jan. 23, 2017 Author(s) Dae-Wook Kang, James B. Adams, Ann C. Gregory, Thomas Borody, Lauren Chittick5,15, Alessio Fasano, Alexander Khoruts, Elizabeth Geis, Juan Maldonado, Sharon McDonough-Means, Elena L. Pollard, Simon Roux, Michael J. Sadowsky, Karen Schwarzberg Lipson, Matthew B. Sullivan, J. Gregory Caporaso and Rosa Krajmalnik-Brown BackgroundAutism spectrum disorders (ASD) are complex neurobiological disorders that impair social interactions and communication and lead to restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests, and activities. The causes of these disorders remain poorly understood, but gut microbiota, the 1013 bacteria in the human intestines, have been implicated because children with ASD often suffer gastrointestinal (GI) problems that correlate with ASD severity. Several previous studies have reported abnormal gut bacteria in children with ASD. The gut microbiome-ASD connection has been tested in a mouse model of ASD, where the microbiome was mechanistically linked to abnormal metabolites and behavior. Similarly, a study of children with ASD found that oral non-absorbable antibiotic treatment improved GI and ASD symptoms, albeit temporarily. Here, a small open-label clinical trial evaluated the impact of Microbiota Transfer Therapy (MTT) on gut microbiota composition and GI and ASD symptoms of 18 ASD-diagnosed children. ResultsMTT involved a 2-week antibiotic treatment, a bowel cleanse, and then an extended fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) using a high initial dose followed by daily and lower maintenance doses for 7–8 weeks. The Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale revealed an approximately 80% reduction of GI symptoms at the end of treatment, including significant improvements in symptoms of constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, and abdominal pain. ConclusionsThis exploratory, extended-duration treatment protocol thus appears to be a promising approach to alter the gut microbiome and virome and improve GI and behavioral symptoms of ASD. Improvements in GI symptoms, ASD symptoms, and the microbiome all persisted for at least 8 weeks after treatment ended, suggesting a long-term impact. Similarly, clinical assessments showed that behavioral ASD symptoms improved significantly and remained improved 8 weeks after treatment ended. Bacterial and phagedeep sequencing analyses revealed successful partial engraftment of donor microbiota and beneficial changes in the gut... | |||

| 212 ADHD Prisoner Education To Prevent Recidivism & Relapse – Battinelli | 17 Apr 2018 | 00:36:30 | |
ADHD, Prisons & The Opiate Epidemic Beth Battinelli Ph.D. reports on her exciting prisoner experiences with prison inmates who have no idea of their brain reality, especially regarding the underlying executive function challenges that led them to poor judgment, impulsivity and breaking the rules. In this CBJ/212 Episode, she talks about a program she developed: The ADHD Project. Her mission for the ADHD Project is to increase ADHD awareness, understanding and recovery for inmates in corrections. It's an educational program that starts with primary brain science education for incarcerated individuals, and by using existing online resources, and it's a cost-effective program to continue upon the individual’s release - for example, CoreBrain Journal's Neuroscience Clubs. She also wants to either start or join inevitable conversations about paradoxical reactions to pharmaceuticals for those incarcerated. The current news about the opioid crisis directly connects to both of these topics. Forewarned and educated is likely to reduce recidivism in this vulnerable, underserved population. Well done, Beth - certainly a worthy project for undeniable difficulties. *Photo by Denny Müller on Unsplash ----------- Connections--------------- Forward This Audio Message Link To a Friendhttp://corebrainjournal.com/212 -----------ThanksThanks, Dr. Battinelli, for joining us here at CBJ to review these useful insights for our evolution toward more comprehensive, more targeted, biomedical psychiatry.

His Brief Bio: "Over 30 years of experience across multiple sectors of the pharmaceutical industry including pharmaceutical commercialization, biotech drug development, managed care, distribution, OTC, and retail; Served as VP, Business Development for drug development company Phytomedics Inc., raising $40 million of private equity, consummating over $50 million of licensing deals, and bringing lead drug candidate from discovery stage to Phase III development; Prior to that, employed by SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals working in sales, marketing, and business strategy positions." * Photo:Marco-Secchi-549646-unsplash His Perspective & Background"We currently live on a planet with other organisms that from a health and wellness perspective, are much further advanced than human beings. Many lower organisms can replace lost or damaged organs and tissues that are identical in structure and function to the original, effortlessly regenerating a wide variety of living tissues, including spinal cords, limbs, hearts, eyes, and even parts of their brains. Similarly, many of these same species possess fascinating skills for repairing and reversing the cellular and genetic damage. Cancer, as an example, is found to be extremely rare in species displaying an efficient regenerative mechanism, even under the action of potent carcinogens. In many cases, when cancer does occur, tumors have been found to remodel and integrate into their surroundings spontaneously, as healthy tissue. Some of these organisms can age, and then return to a youthful state later on in life. Some can even die and be reborn."

But back in 2001, while he was Head of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Loma Linda University, he was asked to treat a chronically ill, overweight patient. This man was considered a hopeless case, someone who couldn’t be helped even by surgery. But “hopeless cases” have been a specialty of mine over the years, and he was willing to take on this man’s challenge when no one else would. Dr. Gundry discovered that the patient had actually reversed his heart-threatening symptoms – symptoms he was told were inoperable – with nothing but a combination of natural, dietary nutrients. This led him to pursue further research of his own. The conclusions he made were unmistakable… and they led directly to the foundation of GundryMD.com. New Microbe Rules Apply"The key to strong, sustainable health lives in all of us arrives in the form of beneficial microbes. These “good bacteria” are in danger of dying out, due to dietary and environmental issues that overload our systems with threatening “bad” microbes. Once you begin taking care of your “good” microbes – or, as I like to call them, “your gut buddies” – you can begin an incredible transformation." ControversyDr. Gundry provides exceedingly interesting detail on his views regarding lectins and other foods that may cause harm in this interview. His views may be controversial for some, and yet they appear to significantly contribute to healing or he couldn't document these observations with hard data. His explanations matter. Medical experts in the nutrition industry strongly support his work. Skeptical? Stay tuned here at CBJ, we will address both sides of this interesting issue. His work is quite interesting, as you will appreciate during this interview, but others do disagree. [It appears that this new information could result in a Gut-Galileo Moment!] --------------------- What is the study of Holobiotics?It’s the concept that guides Dr. Gundry’s “Diet Evolution” system, and all the supplements and products he’s designed to support it. It’s based on the belief that true health only happens when you’re living in a state of cooperation with the trillions of tiny microbes... | |||

| 208 Tools For Transitions Beyond Narcissism – Mitchem | 03 Apr 2018 | 00:41:19 | |
Tools For Transitions Beyond Narcissism - Yes, Reality Changes Kathryn Mitchem is a Mind-Body Transition Expert and Coach. She works one on one, in groups, and through a variety of online programs such as Divorce 9-1-1 and The Worry Detox with people facing harsh transitions such as divorce, career change, health challenges and other midlife messes. She supports her clients as they learn to navigate through the complicated emotions and ongoing worry that arises with unexpected change and crisis. Kathryn teaches lifestyle tools including Yoga and Meditation for immediate use in ten minutes or less to help to cope with the extreme stress and uncertainty that these changes bring. Her tools provide a renewed ability to see more clearly what the next step is in each process and to move forward with a sense of improved internal trust and self-reliance. We invited her for this interview to share her easily available street options for improved next steps. Her Specialty: Recovery From Life Downstream From A Terminal NarcissistShe coaches women on successfully breaking ties with a Narcissist. The most deceptive challenge with narcissistic entitlement is their passivity, their nuance of seductive vulnerability whilst planning to use your good will to advance their own interests. Another point often overlooked, is their fascination with scalability, big numbers. They chase their scalable dragons and eat you for dinner while they smile over your eviscerated heart. Big numbers are their real partner, not you. Success is the identity they chase, and they always forget who helped them when they arrive. They hint that they will take you with them, but all the apparent signs of thoughtful connectedness only become part of their self-serving game. *Photo by Ian Froome on Unsplash Ed. Note: Own YourselfRemember that your pain, your unhappiness, is a gratification to their reductionistic, self-serving and internally starving brain. Your obvious vulnerability makes them more secure. They make it look like nothing is happening as their next work is to take your entire identity and refocus your goals on their own comfort, money, success, public image. Also, remember that the reason you stay is quite simple: you think you can help them. Up close their vulnerability is palpable to you, and your fix-it drive strives to save the day - until you look up because your head was severed off and is rolling down the road. Then you wake up. Pain becomes your most effective teacher. When the student is ready the lesson appears.~ Charles Parker - Deep RecoveryFurther, remember that narcissism is not gender-specific. It doesn't just live in the minds of men and husbands, it can also arise downstream from women friends - and a wife.

A Brief Multiple Brain Integration Technique Overview - The importance of each brain’s Prime FunctionEach mind has a defined, distinct job to do. Just like in a company or organization where different people have different roles to perform, each brain has its specialized tasks. And yet, if we don’t know what these prime functions are or how to access them efficiently and optimally, it’s highly likely that we could find ourselves experiencing all kinds of internal conflicts and struggles in life.

| 204 Sexual Sovereignty & The Sensual Woman – Desilets | 20 Mar 2018 | 00:46:26 | |
The Sensual Woman: Women Claim Sexual SovereigntyIn a society that benefits from your self-doubt, liking yourself is a rebellious act. Hamash Alidina Saida Désilets, Ph.D. A thought-leader and speaker on the growing edge of researching ways women can use their minds, bodies, and spirits to create richer lives through their sensual selves, Saida serves as a guide to women who believe in transformation as a lifelong path of learning, discovery and walk to freedom - and rediscovery of the sensual woman within. Her narrative starts in painful circumstances. It was a violent rape that nearly cost Saida Désilets her life that put her on this path. Self-described as a “street-savvy, equipped with feisty farm-girl strength and the grace of a dancer,” she was by no means naïve. In fact, this French Canadian native was raised on a First Nation’s reservation in Manitoba where sexual abuse of children, teens, and young women was common. Her Unexpected TragedyYet, despite seeing these open transgressions, she never expected to be so violently attacked by a man she was actually dating. The shocking violation left her in such excruciating physical and emotional pain and damage that, upon waking up after emergency surgery, she was told she had only two weeks to live. Consider this - you don't have to experience rape, sexual trauma, or specific disrespect to learn from Dr. Désilets. This very interesting interview addresses the evolution of women thinking about their own strengths and more private issues with sexuality - their own sexual reawakening. *Photo by Matthew Henry on Unsplash ------------- Website, Book & Video Commentaries

| 202 East Asian & Functional Medicine Connections – Varga | 13 Mar 2018 | 00:41:16 | |
East Asian & Functional Medicine Connections Dr. Laura D Varga, DAOM. Chapel Hill, NC. She lived on both the East and West Coasts. She worked in research at UPENN and UCSD, holds a top US degree in East Asian Medicine [EAM], DAOM [Doctorate Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine] from Oregon College of Oriental Medicine. She's worked with patients since 2010. After five years practicing on my own in East Asian and then adding functional medicine, she is best at seeing the big picture - combining the holistic view of East Asian Medicine with my research background. "I love and am in awe of nature - hiking with my dogs, sailing, swimming in the ocean. I cannot believe it took me five years to see the big picture. I have learned a lot from your guests on CBJ and wanted to give back. In East Asian Medicine mental/emotional health is inextricably linked to physical health." A Personal Note From Laura"Feeling sick and tired? I know what that is like! Throughout my life, I have had varying illnesses on the autoimmune spectrum that required me to reach beyond conventional, reductionistic medicine into the world of holistic medicine to heal. From the age of 6 to 25, I had severe allergies and asthma with debilitating bronchitis each Fall. I used pharmaceuticals to mitigate my symptoms and despite seeing several allergists, eating well and exercising I did not heal. Fortunately, I was later able to recover with the help of an East Asian Medicine physician. I have had other conditions caused by excess inflammation. I know what it is like to have chronic and acute pain and wake up day after day feeling exhausted and achy - sort of like you have mild flu. Before earning my clinical doctorate at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, I felt adrift and alone in my healthcare. My different practitioners didn't communicate with each other and some told me that the way the other practitioner was diagnosing and treating me was useless, detrimental or wrong. I was scared because I didn't know what to do. Tests would come back normal. I was lost." The Outdated Bifurcation of Medical Practice - Operational Connections Matter"Everything I read on supplements seemed confusing and overwhelming (this was despite graduating with honors from an Ivy League school - the University of Pennsylvania and working for years in clinical research!). I tried several different diets, with variable, unpredictable outcomes. Then finally, after studying East Asian Medicine and later Functional Medicine, ah-hah, now I have the combined, comprehensive tools to see how my biomedical vulnerabilities are all connected and treat them!" *Photo by Parker: Virginia Museum of Fine Arts - The Terracotta Army Exhibition 3-18 --------------Website & East Asian Relevant Medical References

Listen up, her insights are persuasive. Finding HerselfMozelle was adopted at birth and raised as an only child by successful entrepreneurs, yet in an exceedingly toxic childhood environment. Today she is grateful for these experiences because they helped her fine-tune the life she wanted. Always feeling like "the girl behind the fence" she now appreciates her driven purpose to remain focused on healing and success. Handwriting is but one of her unlocking tools. After growing up in the forensics field, and serving a short time in the military, Mozelle opened her coaching practice in 1987 and became the first person in modern history to create a personality-changing, brain-based program through using one’s handwriting to change personality characteristics. Since that time, Mozelle's career as a forensic handwriting expert continued to grow rapidly. She then moved into consulting for law enforcement agencies around the world, and regularly serves as a legal consultant and an expert witness. Her Media ExperienceThroughout her career, Mozelle has been featured on international radio and television programs, and in print media. She has been a consultant for Criminal Minds, has given commentaries to media outlets such as ABC, NBC, Crime Watch Daily, TruTV, is a former newspaper columnist, and morning shows regular. She is a member of the Mental Health Awareness Coalition and the National Organization for Women and is a Board Member of the Council of Families for Children. Additionally, Mozelle is a Forensic Case Consultant, working closely with her colleague, a retired Federal Agent to assess handwriting meanings. After 14 years of college, Mozelle graduated with a Master's degree in Forensic Psychology, finishing in the top 15% of graduate students worldwide. She also holds a Doctorate in Transcendental Psychology and has worked as a Forensic Mental Health Professional in various correctional facilities across the USA. She currently teaches forensics at a Phoenix-area college and is listed in the Mental Health Professional Referral Network (MHPRN). *Photo by Aaron Burden on Unsplash Additional CBJ Experts on Childhood Trauma

| 193 Mental Toughness For Women Leaders – Quy | 08 Feb 2018 | 00:44:58 | |
Mental Toughness For Women - And MenHe who conquers others is strong; he who conquers himself is mighty.~ Lao Tzu LaRae Quy was an FBI counterintelligence and undercover agent who exposed foreign spies and recruited them to work for the U.S. Government. A good FBI counterintelligence investigation uncovers new information about the spy to gain deeper insights into what influences their behavior and attitudes. LaRae’s job was to dig beneath the surface, probe the unknown, and discover their real identity in spite of their obvious attempts at subterfuge. In the process, she ended up knowing more about the foreign spy than they knew about themselves. LaRae was born and raised on a cattle ranch in Wyoming where she learned many of the survival skills she would need as an FBI agent. After twenty years as an undercover and counterintelligence agent, LaRae became the spokesperson for the FBI in Northern California for four years. Although the job description had changed, she used the same set of communication skills to present both a compelling message and positive image of the FBI. Listen up for deep international applications with down-home street smarts. She Became TougherMental toughness is the birthplace of personal leadership development. It is the ability for each person to look inward and find solid ground when the going gets tough. Strong minds identify productive patterns of behavior so they can become successful in areas that are important to them. Once individuals understand their behavioral patterns, they can choose to respond from a place of strength when confronted with risk and uncertainty in unpredictable situations. Mental toughness is not something you’re born with; it is a quality that you can develop with experience and coaching by:

| 306 What Your ADHD Child Wishes You Knew – Saline-2 | 28 Mar 2019 | 00:41:45 | |
Parent Alert! ADHD Parenting Evolves Dr. Sharon Saline, Northampton, MA, Sharon Saline, a clinical psychologist and author What Your ADHD Child Wishes You Knew: Working Together to Empower Kids for Success in School and Life, specializes in working with kids, young adults and families living with ADHD, learning disabilities and other mental health issues. The upshot of her work is the instructive guide for ADHD Parenting. Her unique perspective - as a sibling in an ADHD home, combined with decades of experience as a clinical psychologist and educator/clinician consultant - assists her in guiding families and adults towards effective communication and closer connections. She lectures and facilitates workshops internationally on topics such as understanding ADHD, executive functioning, different kinds of learners and the teen brain. How: Dr. Saline's Helpful Advice To Reconsider ADHD Parenting - The 5 C'sBased on dozens of interviews from kids and families as well as clinical examples, this book shares the voices of kids with ADHD themselves and provides a parenting model that emphasizes practical approaches to everyday challenges and helps parents of all kids, not just those with ADHD. My approach for ADHD Parenting progress is called The 5C's of ADHD Parenting - it relies on:
Why These daily practices reduce the frustration that most families living with the ADHD parenting experience. Kids with ADHD want to be included in discussions of plans aimed at helping them. When they don't feel heard or considered, they lack buy-in and cooperation. They need direct instruction to improve executive functioning challenges and usually can identify areas where they need help. Kids with ADHD want to be noticed for their efforts, not just their failures. They hear so much criticism that they don't believe feedback can be positive. It's often hard for them to get motivated or like themselves in light of the amount of negativity they receive. Photo by Simon Rae on Unsplash ------------- Links

| 191 Childhood Trauma – Recovery & Mastery – Brown | 01 Feb 2018 | 00:33:45 | |
Childhood Trauma: Tools For Mastery and Recovery Vernon Brown - Reports that when considering childhood trauma: "everyone is looking for the magic key that will unlock their happiness, not realizing that we’ve evaded that key all of our lives. We take it for granted, getting caught up in the minutia of life, failing to stop and smell the roses and appreciate the things that are important to us. I believe your experience truly begins when you make happiness a tangible commodity that is non-negotiable. Why is your happi vital to me? - Because happiness evaded me most of my young life based upon my own childhood trauma. It wasn’t until I reached adulthood that I understood the value of joy, which is somewhat a backward experience. Many people experience the wonders during a childhood of imagination and innocence - and then find that they to lose it as they grow older. Not me. Childhood wonder and innocence was foreign to me from the outset." In this Episode Vernon articulately tell us how he overcame childhood trauma, found internal happiness and uses that discovery process to help others. Vernon's Childhood Trauma Reviewed"Before the age of 10, I’d experienced varying degrees of death, overdose, and abuse in my environment of repeated childhood trauma. I knew my mother loved me but she did not make smart decisions to benefit her family; she was more wrapped up in pursuing what she wanted instead of what we needed. As a result, we moved around a lot. My mother’s lifestyle alienated relationships with family and close friends, forcing us to exist in a silo, isolated from everyone else. It didn’t help that I was an awkward kid, overweight and just out of place. My family circumstances caused people to look down on me. The result? I felt less than, broken and invisible. One pinnacle moment stands out in my memory as a young boy. As the school bus pulled in front of my house to let me off, I noticed all my things from room lying in the street in front of my home. We’d been evicted and now everyone knew it. Everyone laughed at me, and I wanted to disappear. I could not understand what I could have done to deserve this life. I hated myself, not my mom - I hated me. Recovery Perspective - Parenting MattersWhen you shatter a vase on the floor, it takes time to pick up the pieces and put it together. And, once it is put together, it’s never the same; it’s now more fragile than it was, to begin with. I was that shattered vase. My grandmother was the glue that helped me begin to put pieces together when I moved in with her. She showed me how to be a child, something I’d never really known. My childhood trauma experiences taught me how to observe people, mostly as a defense mechanism to protect myself. My awkward stage extended into adulthood. I did not grow into the person I am today until I turned 20. At that point, I learned that being happy is not something life gives you; you have to seize it for yourself and manage it. Lessons From PainThat’s one of the biggest challenges people face today; some allow others to hold the puppet strings on what makes them happy. I share my story with you because I want you to know that no matter your circumstances, you have the power to claim happiness for yourself. My life experience has not only helped me learn the value of happiness for myself, but it has awakened a passion in me to help others claim that freedom for themselves. I work with everyone I encounter to experience a revision, perception correction regarding their view of themselves. Action MattersI help others move out of crisis mode and more objectively reassess themselves. When you discover | |||

Food Addiction - The Neurobiology of FoodA lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me, I'm afraid of widths.~ Steven Wright Micheal Leppo is a food addiction coach on a mission to address diet, weight loss, and self-management through understanding the neurobiology of food, called the You Will Succeed Program. His program is a 22-week video program that explains, provides coaching, and mentors client’s regarding how to achieve health and life benefits whilst managing food intake. Please note that this program is more than just a weight loss program. It’s a program that is designed to help one live a longer, healthier, more successful life. Personal Notes On Michael"I am a passionate coach who has studied how food (notably processed GMO's, sugar-laden and high carb foods) controls your brain. These fatty foods excite the reward circuit in the brain which in turn release the neurochemical dopamine. Food directly connects with neurobiology.This release of dopamine provides one with a feeling of pleasure on several levels. Eventually, the continued overeating of these types of food desensitizes the feeling of pleasure the dopamine originally provides, which in turn explains in part why one has to eat more and more to regain the feeling of pleasure. These dopaminergic challenges provide an understanding of why someone cannot eat 'only one cookie.'” His Recovery Process"What I set out to do and have achieved is to re-wire the brain to crave only healthy foods. Now, my brain is 99.999% re-wired only to want foods that help my body/engine run at optimal levels." The direct result of re-wiring his own brain includes:

In addition to this extraordinary piece on Hemingway, we've invited Andy back to CBJ for a serious discussion regarding the homocysteine theory of depression, and the use of reduced B vitamins for depression and neuroprotection, particularly the prevention of dementia challenges. Yes, he's a neuroscience expert as well. Stay tuned for our next visit. His Interest In Hemingway's BrainIt's important to note that Dr. Farah's remarks in this engaging and remarkably informative interview arise from his love of Hemingway's works. His passion for meaningful work as a writer is evident, his professional experience as a psychiatric/forensic investigative reporter is exemplary, as is his abiding personal drive to face the new, discoverable realities of Hemingway's brain function. If you have loved the troubled, insightful and metaphoric Hemingway, as we have over many years, you will most certainly find our discussion interesting. And you will genuinely appreciate Andy's book. From the historically documented challenges of Hemingway's chronic traumatic encephalopathy, CTE, to alcohol abuse, to the challenges of global celebrity in this CBJ/114 episode, we discuss many interesting aspects of Hemingway's life and mind. For decades his death and life challenges have remained so inexplicable because they occurred in times of ineffective brain diagnostic technology, only about 56 years ago. * Photo by Mariya Georgieva on Unsplash - Lake Como Hem's Medical TragedyThen, even at the esteemed Mayo Clinic, the extant standard of care overlooked Hemingway's brain challenges as biologically relevant, measurable or correctable. Upon careful review, stigma and celebrity kept him from going to Menninger's [a nationally esteemed psychiatric evaluation/treatment facility] for his depression, as he could appear more medical for the purported reason of hypertension at the medical Mayo Clinic. His celebrity kept him away from improved psychiatric care. It's reassuring to confirm how we've come such a long way in our understandings of brain injury in just a few years.

| 180 De-Escalate Anger & Conflict With Wisdom & Mindset – Noll-2 | 26 Dec 2017 | 00:49:56 | |
De-Escalate Anger - How to Manage Relationships In ConflictAny person capable of angering you becomes your master; he can anger you only when you permit yourself to be disturbed by him.~ Epictetus Dr. Doug Noll - A successful trial lawyer-turned-mediator for 35 years, Noll gives you the secrets to calm an angry person of any age while remaining centered and calm yourself. His new book, De-Escalate, guides readers on how to keep your composure and de-escalate anger during a heated argument. His plans will help you withstand insults, provocations, and disrespect from others without losing your cool. He's an expert who discusses details about how to de-escalate anger. If you've ever lost an argument by losing it, it's because you haven't read or listened to Doug Noll. In a world more politically divided than ever, De-Escalate provides a simple, surefire way to communicate with others respectfully and productively, despite how tense a situation may be at first blush. Ed. Note:
How To De-Escalate Anger In De-Escalate, Noll shares how to defuse conflicts quickly by focusing and targeting the emotions of the angry person rather than the words being said (or screamed). In this way, habitual, counterproductive, defensive and reflexive responses of anger and frustration on your part are circumvented - and cooler heads will likely prevail. Tools To De-escalate Anger - Noll On The Reality Of Prisons"I developed skills to de-escalate as a professional mediator to help very angry people make better decisions about the problems they faced. Then I honed the skills in some of California's maximum-security prisons with inmates serving life sentences. With training, these insightful inmates have stopped violent fights, gang riots, arguments, and bullying using skills from De-Escalate. Dozens of inmates have told me that if they had learned these skills 10, 15, 20 years earlier, they would not be in prison today." Practical De-Escalate Applications: The Prison of Peace ProjectNoll, who holds both a JD and an MA, left his successful career as a lawyer to become a peacemaker. He is an award-winning author, teacher, trainer, highly experienced mediator, and co-founder of The Prison of Peace Project. This has been the most profound peace training Douglas has conducted thus far in his career. Inmates who have gone through his program have learned and applied deep, empathic listening skills, leadership skills, and problem-solving skills to reduce violence in their prison communities. However, you don't have to be in prison to develop leadership skills and political acumen. Books and Website: Doug Noll
