Carol Is Taming Tigers with Laughter

'Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis.' Jack Handy, Deep Thoughts on SNL.Laughter won't cure tuberculosis, or any disease for that matter, but it sure will disarm us of toxicity and arm us instead with a host of healthy benefits. Research shows that it lowers cortisol (stress hormone), it boosts endorphins (pain relieving hormones) and improves blood flow throughout the body--among other researched benefits. My guest this week is Carol Deyoe, a woman who believes in the power of laughter and humor as much as I do. Carol's personal use of laughter and humor is notable. She's a stand-up comedian and pharmacy professional who used humor to get through two rounds of cancer and is sharing that inspiration and knowledge in her motivational presentation called Laughing at Tigers. Whether you lace up for a walk, kick back in your favorite chair, or buckle up that seat belt in the car, settle in for this poignant, powerful and humor-packed conversation.
