**Jeanne Schumacher**
This episode with Jeanne Schumacher is all about what can happen when someone is chronically ill and switches to a whole foods plant based diet - and begins to heal. Listen now - take notes - and dive deep into Jeanne's journey and how it just might help save a life - even yours.
Jeanne Schumacher, who **has earned her doctorate in science and education** and has taught for over 30 years, is a firm believer in “walking the walk.” She is committed to **inspiring people to change their health destiny** through a non-toxic whole-foods, plant-based lifestyle. She is passionate about making a difference in the lives of others **by teaching them practical ways to improve their health**. She believes that food is our best medicine and helps us get our bodies back to a state of health when faced with “dis”-ease. She has been sharing her knowledge through motivational and educational lectures as well as on her website www.jschumacher.org.
**Schumacher has followed a plant-based diet since 2009** and has become a motivational speaker and educator on whole-foods, plant-based living as well as living without toxins. **Her transformation to a healthier lifestyle began with a trip to the emergency room** with a 105 degree fever, deadly high blood pressure and an unknown infection. Luckily, the physician who attended her was not only trained in medicine but also in nutrition. **This doctor started Schumacher on a journey that would not only change her health destiny, but her life as well.**
Schumacher has successfully completed the coursework from Dr. John McDougall on the Starch Solution, has earned her Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate through eCornell - Center for Nutritional Studies and completed the Women’s Studies and Food Over Medicine program through Dr. Pam Popper and the Wellness Forum.

Rajashree Choudhury – Teaching Yoga to the World Sep 16, 2019

Watch video or download podcast below

Rajashree Choudhury

Rajashree is one of the most in-depth, knowledgable and helpful yoga masters in the world today. In this episode Rajashree opens up and reveals the origins of her yoga practice as a child in India - and how it guides her as she teaches yoga today.

Rajashree's bio from her website...

At the urging of her parents, Rajashree began her yoga practice when she was four years-old. She is a five-time winner of the National Indian Yoga Championship from 1979 to 1983. By age 11, Rajashree won several titles. This experience shaped her life dream of encouraging youth to practice yoga. Born in Kolkata, living in Los Angeles since age 19, Rajashree Choudhury’s background is a true blend of the East and West. To promote yoga-asana as a sport, Rajashree founded the United States Yoga Federation and the International Yoga Sports Federation. Because of Rajashree's efforts, the International Yoga Asana Championships is now in it's tenth year.

"Much of the work I have done promoting yoga as a sport has been fired by my desire to inspire youth to practice yoga."

Rajashree believes that introducing yoga at an early age helps ameliorate and avoid problems that arise as one journeys through life. With a special focus on the emotional side of yoga, Rajashree advocates yoga's impact on not only physical health, but also the mind, body and soul. An unprecedented passion for public service, Rajashree has a degree in yoga therpay and is certified with the International Association of Yoga Therapists. She travels worldwide to conduct seminars and workshops, host yoga retreats and spread personal development. Inspired by her personal teachers, Dr. P. S. Das and Dr. Kushala Das, as well other great teachers such as B. K. S. Iyengar and Paramahansa Yogananda, Rajashree is led by her heart and motivated by the transformations yoga brings. In 1994, Rajashree co-founded Bikram Yoga's Teacher Training program, and continues teaching heated hatha yoga.. To supplement her ambitions, Rajashree began her jewelry line in 2005 to create unique accessories that would remind people to embrace, embody and empower their true self. Each stone having it's own therapeutic healing properties, gemology is something that reconnects Rajashree to her childhood Vedic traditions, while also aiding her mission to help others.

Rajashree supports many causes locally, nationally and internationally. She is active in many charitable organizations including Karma for Kids, dedicated to helping children with cancer, Uprising Yoga, helping child victims of sex trafficking, Team Red White and Blue, an organization that helps veterans through yoga and other physical activities and Parikrama, a foundation educating slum children in India. Other organizations supported by Rajashree include: Narayan Sewa Ashram, a home for abandoned children in India and Aviva Family and Children's Services, where she helped renovate and restore their yoga studio.

Her devotion to children and woman was the driving force for writing her book, Rajashree's Pregnancy Yoga, a guide that delineates her pre-natal yoga series.

“Yoga means union. May yoga unite you with yourself, your breath, your body and the new life you are creating.”

Writer, yoga instructor, jewelry designer, motivational speaker, philanthropist, children and women's advocate, to find out more about Rajashree, follow her on social media or send a message to her email.

supported by Sean Tyler Foley

Sean Tyler Foley has been acting in film and television since he was 6 years old and graduated from the Alberta High School of Fine Arts. He has appeared in Freddy Vs Jason, Door to Door, and Carrie. He is currently the Owner of Drop the Mic Speaker’s Agency and author of the book The Power to Speak Naked.

Sean Tyler Foley (or STF as he's affectionately known) loves helping people find their voice and getting their message out to the world. It is the focus of the book that he wrote "The Power to Speak Naked" and is what truly brings him joy in life. As a performer, speaker, and just a general seeker of attention, he knows how hard it can be to get in front of an audience. If STF can help facilitate that in any small way for others, it is what he was put on this Earth to do.

STF is a husband, father, son, and performer in that order. Some days it feels like he has dabbled in every industry on the planet, from oil and gas to aviation to film and television. He has owned or been partners in some very diverse businesses and currently is self-employed as a professional speaker and trainer.

Regardless of the industry or the titles he has held, what they all had in common was promoting and encouraging people to be heard and understood.

Watch video or download podcast below
**Dr. Mary Clifton**
Dr. Mary is a practicing physician specializing in Internal Medicine. She’s an expert in plant-based medicine, nutrition, and lifestyle. She’s also the founder of GetWaisted and author of several books including:
Waist Away: How to Joyfully Lose Weight and Supercharge Your Life
Get Waisted Cookbook: 100 Addictively Delicious Plant-based Entrees
Get Graduated
Radiance 4 Life

In her 30’s Dr. Mary was surprised with a diagnosis of prediabetes and high cholesterol. Worse than that, she felt exhausted at the end of the workday and struggled to have meaningful interactions with the most important people in her life. Even though she exercised every day and ate a healthful diet, her family history of heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, depression and obesity were sneaking up on her anyway. After all of the hard work as a single mom in medical school, she didn’t have the energy to enjoy the time at the end of the day with her family.
Doctors suggested diabetes and cholesterol medications, but that wasn’t the direction Dr. Mary chose to go. Instead, she researched and studied the patterns in the medical literature, and made some changes to her diet, exercise plan, and supplements. In just 72 hours, her blood sugars returned to normal. In just 3 months, she shaved 70 points off her cholesterol. Instead of feeling tired after a day’s work, she felt ready to go for a bike ride with her girls, or play with chalk in the driveway, or swim in Lake Michigan.
Starting a new lifestyle was relatively easy, but over time, cravings and other challenges threatened to derail her progress. With some additional research as well as thoughtful introspection, these cravings and challenges were squelched and she stuck with her changes for many years. She was onto something.
Listen to this amazing episode and discover how Dr. Mary used her own experience to help others also choose a healthy lifestyle.

Tommy Bähler's life has been nothing less than extraordinary.

From a young child Tommy's father encouraged him to explore and exercise his intuition to discover the world. And has he ever done that.

Tommy has lived his life as a creative, music producer, composer, musician, author and more. There are few people in the music industry that he has not influenced. He wrote the hit "She's Out Of My Life" a song made famous by Michael Jackson - with nearly 21 million YouTube views. And other songs like "Living in a House Divided" sung by Cher and "Julie, Do You Love Me?" - one of Bobby Sherman's hit songs.

His legendary career has intertwined working with his close personal friend Quincy Jones on numerous projects - Including "We are the World." This incredible group of artists came together for a day of recording to help the USA for Africa provide much needed famine relief in Africa. Over $60 million was raised in just the first year along. Listen as Tommy discusses how this came together with the likes of Harry Belafonte, Michael Jackson, Ken Kragen, Lionel Richie and many others. Hear how Diana Ross reached out to Darryl Hall for his autograph - and how this simple gesture created a profound impact on all the artists at the recording session Learn how they insured that the proceeds went to the people in need - and bypassed the political corruption.

The short list of diverse artists that Tommy has worked with include: Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Billy Joel, Karen Carpenter, Neil Diamond, Cher, BJ Thomas, Kenny Rogers, Bobby Sherman, Elvis, Barbara Streisand, The Monkees, Smokey Robinson, David Cassidy, Frankie Avalon, Harry Belafonte, Barbara Mandrell, Patti LaBelle, Willie Nelson, Lionel Richie, Cyndi Lauper, Bob Geldof, James Ingram, Pete Townsend, Roger Daltry and many many more. He produced Siegfried & Roy for years and ran the Radio City Music Hall. Early in his career he was even a vocalists with his brother John Bähler on the Partridge Family theme song.

On top off all that, he created the vocal arrangements for the motion picture version of "The Wiz." Tommy served as Music Director for a number of events sponsored by the White House, including "America's Millennium", "Points of Light" and President Clinton's Inaugural Concert. He has also served as Music Director and arranger for "The Kennedy Center Honors."

Tommy has written two books. "Anything is Possible - A Tale of ÆSOP". which Quincy Jones says "Is an extraordinary read. A thought provoking exploration of freedom. It will inspire anyone who has ever desired a better life." His next book "What You Want Wants You" is Tommy's way of showing you how completely natural it is to ignite your imagination, access your infallible intuition, and open yourself up to all the amazing possibilities and unlimited potential you already possess. Tommy shares with us how the insights contained in these books have guided his life since a child.

In 2012 Tommy and I met at a publishing event in Las Vegas. We immediately hit it off and became friends. I feel blessed and honored to share our conversation and Tommy's incredible contributions that help make the world a better place.

Be sure to listen to this remarkable conversation and share with everyone you know.

Dr. David Clarke ~ They can’t find anything wrong – is stress killing you? Jan 30, 2019

Watch video or download podcast below

Dr. David Clarke,

"They Can't Find Anything Wrong"

Do you have a chronic condition or pain that there is just no reason for? Have you been in and out of hospitals and doctor offices with no relief? Have diagnostic tests come back without any cause for your ailment?

Science and medicine today are discovering what historically has probably been apparent since nearly the beginning of time. That is, that stress could be killing us.

Our guest is Dr. Clarke, one of the premier physicians that has been studying and implementing in his practice the idea that the mind and body are linked. And that our repressed emotions - often from adverse childhood experiences (ACE) - manifest in our bodies as symptoms of disease and actual disease.

Dr. Clarke is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Gastroenterology Emeritus and Assistant Director at the Center for Ethics at Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU). He is board-certified in Gastroenterology and Internal Medicine and had a practice in Portland, Oregon until 2009. Today Dr. Clarke can be found traveling the world teaching physicians and others the science and theory behind psychophysiologic disorders - essentially mind body medicine.

His book, "They Can't Find Anything Wrong!" is an overview of how stress is affecting us and our health. Dr. Clarke presents numerous real life examples of how patients have recovered quickly - once they understand the real cause for their symptoms.

The mission of Dr. Clarke and the organization Psychophysiologic Disorders Association is as follows:

"Advancing the diagnosis and treatment of stress-induced medical conditions suffered by millions worldwide, our work provides a new approach to eliminate (not just manage) chronic pain, fibromyalgia, migraines, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue, pelvic pain and much more."

You are invited to listen carefully to Dr. Clarke and his medical insights into how others have healed - and how you and your loved ones can heal too.

Mica Fish ~ Pro Snowboarder Breaks Both Ankles and Turns to Yoga Jan 25, 2019

Watch video or download podcast below

"I need a break" said our said our guest Mica right before a practice jump for a competition. When she lands she breaks both her ankles and her professional snowboarding career is essentially over. Now what?

Mica was nearly sunk practicing on that fateful day for a big air snowboarding competition. She was a professional freestyle snowboarder champion competing and winning multiple competitions. In 1997 Mica was the USASA Freestyle Snowboarding Champion as well as winning a number of other competitions and competing in the X Games. What's next?

One day eating lunch she saw an advertisement for a yoga studio on the back of a weekly newspaper that said "Make Your Body Smile." Mica thought "what the hell is this?" Shortly thereafter she walks into a very hot yoga class.

For years, Mica had a dedicated yoga practice of 3-5 classes a week. Yet she twice had self admitted temper tantrums and quit for a few months at a time. But she knew she had to keep going back. Mica says she now loves yoga and cannot imagine life without it. It has seen her through all the up and downs of all her many physical, emotional, and spiritual injuries.

Three times Mica tried to go to teacher training. It was a big challenge for her to rearrange life's trajectory to do something that seemed so out of the normal. In 2008 she finally made it to Bikram's Teacher training in Acapulco, Mexico. Mica kept falling down a lot!

For about four years Mica taught as much as she absolutely could, where ever she could. She literally jokes it was like standing in front of a room full of people in your underwear!

In 2012 Mica began searching for a location near her that she could open her own studio. Opening a studio was a huge challenge. Then in May 2012 she opened Bikram Yoga Hazel Dell.

The studio has been going strong ever since and continues to grow and expand, which she believes is a condition of the yoga! Now with four types of Yoga and Pilates offered, BYHD is the premier place for people to come for transformation, healing and community.

Jessica's life was slipping away....

By 16 years old Jessica's body was attacking itself. Since 12 she had been on multiple medications for an auto immune disease - and at 16 she had 5 tumors removed from her neck from thyroid cancer. With only 1/4 of her thyroid left she was also put on synthroid.

On top of all that her Rheumatoid Arthritis was flaring up and by 19 her fingers were beginning to "claw up" and her feet were quickly following.

Jessica barely walked into her first yoga class. After just two breathes in class, she was on the floor. Though that didn't stop her. She came back every week and did what ever she could. In six months she was off synthroid and in a year she was a new woman.

Now many years later as a sought after yoga teacher, Jessica helps others find their journey of transformation and healing.

Listen to this podcast as Jessica describes her journey of crushing her fears, healing her body and having a new life.

Living sober has been good to Jenifer....

Jenifer's life was a mess. One late night she found herself doing anything she could to find more - more alcohol - more substances - really anything that would stop her mind.

Jenifer grew up wanting to dance and sing. She even got into dance school and sang in a band. Though the mess of her life from addictions kept getting in her way. She eventually made a call to a hot line - and they suggested she go to the house by the railroad tracks. Once she did, she has been sober ever since - for more than 33 years now.

What Jenifer realized is that she needed a breakthrough to a new life. The epiphanies came quickly. Today she is helping others find a new way to live - whether men and women that want to get sober - or executives that need coaching to "close the gap."

Listen to this insightful show as Jenifer get's real about her life.

Deeper Yoga

Michele rocks the world with love and yoga..!!

In 1998 Michele walked into a yoga studio in San Francisco for her first yoga class. Her mother had recently passed from Alzheimer's and Michele was grieving and feeling lost without her best friend. From her very first class, Michele became a changed person. She took a quantum leap and knew in an instant that she could release her built up stress and begin a new life.

Within just a few years, Michele then let go of her job opening restaurants and committed herself to yoga and becoming a yoga teacher. Since then she opened a now world famous yoga studio in San Jose, California. And she just won the 50+ division of the International Yoga Sport Competition in Bejing, China.

Michele reminds us to always be patient, compassionate and loving to ourselves and others. No matter where you are right now in life, whether struggling or thriving, yoga can bring you peace of mind - as long as you are willing to take action.

Eva Vidal ~ From Pain to Peace: How Yoga Changed Eva’s Life Jan 04, 2019

Watch video or download podcast below

Quiet your Mind

Yoga changed Eva's life.

For over ten years Eva was seeing a chiropractor two or three times a week for all sorts of pain. Knees, hips, ankles, back and more. To keep up her running she had to go. On top of all of that, Eva struggled with endometriosis and had seven surgeries. To keep her mind together she also was seeing a therapist.

Then in 1992, Eva walked into her first yoga class - and it reignited her passion for life. Within a few years time her endometriosis healed, she stopped going to the chiropractor and stopped needing therapy. Yoga had changed her life.

Since then she has been through six yoga trainings in the US and India. Eva is one of the first 100 Bikram Yoga teachers in the world. Her knowledge, skills and understanding of yoga and healing are unsurpassed.

Eva teaches today in the "biggest little yoga studio" anywhere. Listen to how Eva has crushed her fears and overcame debilitating physical issues and became a teacher.
