Call us at: 800-871-5440Part. 1: There is much to be learned from the world’s “master of suggestion” having risen to the top of his game and able to expertly manage his own emotions and human vagaries, Kevin Stone, the globally-known, central figure and sole figure on hypnotist.com. With a multitude of appearances on major TV networks and features in prominent magazines, Kevin's expertise in cognitive influence has garnered global recognition for helping over a million people address issues ranging from smoking cessation to weight loss and stress management.Have you ever wondered what cognitive influence truly entails? Is it the eerie portrayal seen in movies and television, or is there more to this ancient practice? According to Kevin Stone, cognitive influence is a natural, organic process that we all experience throughout the day. Whether it's daydreaming during a class or losing track of time while driving, these moments are all forms of self-mind coaching."We go in and out of it about a thousand times a day. It's our natural state." - Kevin StoneCary Harrison opens the floor to Kevin, who illustrates how cognitive influence isn't about controlling someone's mind but rather creating an environment conducive to focused thought. Kevin explains that by harnessing this natural process, one can reprogram behaviors and achieve long-term benefits, such as permanent weight loss or smoking cessation.> "Your brain is a computer system. And once you program that computer... it's going to do [what you tell it to do]." - Kevin StoneThe conversation takes a lighter turn as Cary shares his experiences witnessing hypnotists on cruise ships, making people "cluck like chickens." Kevin addresses these myths head-on, clarifying that much of what we believe about cognitive influence (hypnotism) is a result of media sensationalism. In reality, cognitive influence has a broader application and is more nuanced than the clichés we are accustomed to.Kevin then engages Cary and the audience in a simple demonstration of suggestibility, where Cary observes his own fingers moving together involuntarily. This exercise showcases the profound impact cognitive influence can have by tapping into the subconscious mind, which accounts for 88% of our brain's capacity.> "Your subconscious mind... that's where all information is stored. Once I understood how to access that... I'm able to give a direct suggestion." - Kevin StoneOne of the significant benefits of cognitive influence is its ability to help manage stress and overcome addictions. Kevin mentions that many of his clients, including high-profile celebrities, struggle with various forms of addiction, from smoking to unhealthy eating habits. Through mind coaching, these individuals can reprogram their behaviors and lead healthier lives.> "All behavior is learned behavior... the good news is you can change your behavior, and mind coaching is the number one tool to do that."Kevin emphasizes the importance of self-mind coaching, a skill that can be learned and practiced to foster positive changes. Unlike meditation or yoga, self-mind coaching involves controlling the environment to block out negative energies and focus solely on positive outcomes.> "Mind coaching is about controlling the environment... to be positive suggestions instead of negativity."As Cary Harrison wraps up the episode, he praises Mr. Stone for his dedication to educating the public about the real science behind hypnotism and cognitive influence. With a user-friendly website, Hypnotist.com, Kevin provides a wealth of resources for those interested in exploring the benefits of mind coaching. His approach aims to demystify the process and empower individuals to positively harness the power of their minds.> "Cognitive influence has the potential to change your life completely... so why not utilize it for your personal benefit?"Part. 2: Being True to YourselfJason Stuart's love for acting was inspired by Barbra Streisand's iconic role in "Funny Girl." This motivation led Stuart to pursue a career that would challenge stereotypes and reflect his personal struggles. From roles in "The Birth of a Nation" to the series "Smothered," Stuart has left an indelible mark on the industry, navigating a path as a gay Hollywood actor. His story exemplifies finding inner strength and persevering against the odds.Breaking StereotypesWhen asked to share a defining moment that shaped his career, Stuart reflects on his role in "The Birth of a Nation" in 2015. Cast as a white heterosexual Christian plantation owner in 1831, Stuart's performance pushed him to new creative heights. Working with Nate Parker and other extraordinary actors for three weeks profoundly changed his self-image and what he thought was possible.Showing up For YourselfStuart's journey as a gay actor in Hollywood has been fraught with challenges. In the early 80s, he faced systemic discrimination and a lack of representation. Despite these obstacles, Stuart continued to show up, auditioning for roles and proving himself time and again. He recalls experiences where industry professionals advised him to be more masculine, yet supportive figures like casting director Jackie Birch offered encouragement and opportunities.Pioneering ChangeSometimes we never know when we're going to help thousands of others through a simple act of bravery. Jason Stuart came out publicly in 1993 on "The Geraldo Rivera Show," a bold move that transformed his career. Despite fears and warnings from peers, this decision empowered Stuart and established him as a significant figure in comedy and acting. His resilience and commitment to his identity has served as an inspiration for many.The Importance of Support and MentorshipWe highlight the critical role of a support system, including friends, mentors, and therapy. Stuart emphasizes the importance of showing up for others and creating your own opportunities. Through his series "Smothered," Stuart explores themes of long-term relationships and personal growth. This work has earned him numerous accolades, including several Indie Series Award nominations.Cary Harrison addresses the reality where ageism and appearance often play significant roles in career opportunities. Stuart shares his perspective on maintaining integrity, creating meaningful work, and supporting others in the industry. He advocates for mental health resources and a strong community to navigate the challenges of aging in a visually driven industry.Jason Stuart's diverse roles and unwavering commitment to authenticity have made him a trailblazer in Hollywood. His story of resilience, mentorship, and continuous learning offers valuable lessons for anyone facing rejection or seeking to reinvent their life. Stuart's journey reminds us that success is not just about individual talent but also about supporting others and fostering a community that uplifts everyone.Did you know, each month Riverside Recovery of Tampa makes its campus freely available for a variety of veteran’s groups to meet and showcase the many support services available to our veterans?

With over 30 years of experience, Dr. McGrail has developed a groundbreaking process called Synthesis, aimed at rapidly and profoundly transforming personal lives. > "Synthesis is the act of taking disparate ingredients, putting them together in a special way to create a stronger whole." - Dr. John McGrailA significant component of Synthesis involves leveraging hypnotherapy and meditation. Dr. McGrail explains that hypnotherapy is often misunderstood due to its portrayal in popular media. However, in reality, it is a powerful method for accessing and reprogramming the subconscious mind.> "Hypnosis is simply a state of consciousness that we all naturally experience. Hypnotherapy uses this state intentionally to facilitate change." - Dr. John McGrailMeditation complements hypnotherapy by helping to maintain these positive changes over time, thus offering both rapid and lasting benefits. An essential aspect of Synthesis is the empowerment of personal agency. Dr. McGrail elucidates that every thought, action, and emotion results from a choice, often made subconsciously. His method helps individuals recognize and reprogram these choices for better outcomes.> "We help people say, 'My life is my responsibility. My outcomes are my responsibility. I'm going to take that responsibility and live it to the fullest.” One memorable story involves a young law student who, despite being at the top of his class, failed to pass the bar exam twice because he harbored a deep-seated desire to become a chef, not a lawyer. With Dr. McGrail's help, he not only passed the bar but also mustered the courage to follow his true passion, eventually becoming a celebrity chef.> "Most of us succumb to the expectations of others or society. But when you decide to live your life your way, you are a complete success." How Quickly Can Synthesis Create Change?One of the most striking revelations from our conversation is the speed and efficacy of the Synthesis process. Dr. McGrail noted that most of his clients experience significant improvements within three to six sessions, a stark contrast to traditional therapy methods that can take years.> "Stress and anxiety are common issues, but with Synthesis, changes can happen extremely quickly if the individual is committed to the process."

In reminding us of the transformative power of informed advocacy, the Lab illustrates that the responsibility for societal progress rests not on the shoulders of an elect few but on the collective action of all individuals. It champions the concept that every voice matters and that through concerted effort and strategic engagement, meaningful change is achievable.As we look to address the myriad challenges facing our society, initiatives like the Activist Lab provide both inspiration and a roadmap for engagement.

Statistics reveal the immense pressure experienced by hospitality workers due to the high-paced, demanding nature of their jobs.Jasmin Popdopoulis articulated that the hospitality industry, with its stresses and demands, plays a significant role in the mental health struggles faced by its workers. Cary likened the environment of a bustling restaurant or hotel to that of the opening night of a Broadway show, emphasizing the constant, tense atmosphere industry workers cope with daily.## CHOW: A Beacon for Hospitality WorkersJasmin Popdopoulis introduced CHOW, an organization providing a sanctuary for restaurant staff, cultivating a space where they are heard, valued, and supported. Offering assistance for challenges such as mental health struggles, addiction, and the risks of suicide, CHOW stands united in nurturing the very souls who've made our dining experiences unforgettable.## From Toxic Chef to Mental Health AdvocateJasmin shared her journey from being a 'toxic chef' to becoming a vital part of CHOW. She opened up about her experiences facing the stressors of the industry, and how she saw the need to change. She shared her insights on the industry, highlighting that her transformation from a toxic chef to a mental health advocate symbolized her journey of making amends and driving positive change in the industry.## Creating Brave Spaces for Struggles and SuccessesPopdopoulis detailed how CHOW creates 'brave spaces' where participants can share both struggles and successes while supporting each other in their journeys. These brave spaces are not just for those experiencing extreme discomfort; they encompass all levels and are inclusive of the entire community.## The Power of Hospitality and Self-CareA powerful part of the discussion revolved around the intersectionality of mental health, addiction, wellness, and self-care in the hospitality industry.

But what if we told you that there is a deeper understanding of this disease? What if there are root causes that, once understood, can pave the way for prevention and treatment beyond traditional methods? In a riveting interview, Philip Bresnahan, a renowned clinical cancer research analyst, shares his insights after a 15-year deep dive into the world of clinical research.### Unraveling the Mystery of CancerPhilip Bresnahan's journey into the realm of cancer research began when he was diagnosed with both high blood pressure and cancer. This pivotal moment led him on a quest to uncover the fundamental question: What exactly is cancer, and how does it differ from other diseases? Through his work, Philip discovered a crucial distinction - the electrical charge of cells.### The Electrical ConnectionIn his research, Philip found that all cancer cells have a positive electrical charge, while healthy cells have a negative charge. This discovery led him to trace back his own cancer diagnosis to his daily habit of consuming soda, which contained high levels of free radicals with a positive charge. The revelation that our daily choices, such as diet, can influence the electrical balance of our cells sheds light on the importance of understanding the root causes of diseases.### The Power of Molecular Hydrogen WaterOne of the fascinating solutions Philip highlights is the use of molecular hydrogen water. Backed by documented clinical studies, this special type of water with a negative charge of electrons has been shown to naturally destroy cancer cells. The efficacy of molecular hydrogen water in restoring the electrical balance of cells offers a promising avenue for cancer prevention and treatment.### Navigating the Choices for HealthAs Philip delves deeper into the impact of free radicals and oxidative stress on our health, he emphasizes the need to make informed choices. From avoiding carbonated drinks with positive charges to seeking out antioxidant-rich options, the journey to better health involves understanding the electrical events within our bodies.### Empowering Personal Health ChoicesThrough his personal experience as a cancer survivor, Philip exemplifies the power of informed decision-making in maintaining remission. By harnessing the benefits of molecular hydrogen water and prioritizing a healthy lifestyle, Philip underscores the importance of taking charge of our health proactively.### The Path ForwardIn a world where cancer rates continue to rise, Philip Bresnahan's research offers a unique perspective on addressing the root causes of this pervasive disease. By shedding light on the electrical dynamics of our cells and advocating for holistic approaches to health, Philip invites us to reconsider our understanding of cancer and explore alternative avenues for prevention and treatment.Riverside Recovery of Tampa is proud to be a trusted member of the Veterans Affairs' Community Care Network (CCN), providing exceptional services for our honored Veterans.

CBS’s former The Doctors host, Judy Ho, discusses her new book on ‘attachment theory’ and personal development. #AttachmentStyles has gotten 348.2 million views on TikTok alone as this topic dealing with codependency, alcoholism, and your inner child continues to trend. Then we talk with Ruth Poniarski, an artist who grappled with severe mental illness after unwittingly consuming a PCP-laced brownie. Poniarski shares her journey to recovery, highlighting the role of art and effective psychiatry.Part. 1: The New Rules of Attachment: Unlocking the Power of Relationships"In today's fast-paced and interconnected world, our relationships play a crucial role in shaping our lives. Whether it's our friendships, family dynamics, or even our goals and self-perception, the way we attach to others significantly impacts our overall well-being. We dive into the enlightening conversation between Cary Harrison, Ashley Neal, and Dr. Judy Ho, former host of TV's The Doctors, a triple board-certified licensed clinical forensic neuropsychologist, and author of the groundbreaking book, The New Rules of Attachment: How to Heal Your Relationships, Reparent Your Inner Child, and Secure Your Life Vision.Understanding Attachment Theory:Attachment theory, which has gained immense popularity recently, is not as new as one might think. Dr. Judy Ho explains that this theory has been around for 60 to 70 years, but its applications continue to evolve. The theory suggests that during childhood, our brains develop an "operating system" based on the conditions and relationships we experience. This system continues to influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors well into adulthood. Essentially, the way we attach to others as children becomes a template for our future relationships.The Impact of Insecure Attachment:Dr. Judy Ho delves into the various aspects of attachment theory, highlighting the repercussions of insecure attachment styles. She emphasizes that attachment is universal, and we all need socialization to survive and thrive. However, when attachment styles are insecure, they create roadblocks that hinder our ability to form meaningful connections and achieve our goals.Codependency and Workaholism:One common manifestation of insecure attachment is codependency. Dr. Judy Ho explains that people who struggle with codependency often find themselves people-pleasing and constantly striving to save others. However, they rarely pause to understand the roots of these behaviors and why they occur. By exploring the concept of insecure attachment, individuals can uncover the underlying drivers of codependency and take steps towards healing.Another relevant issue discussed in the conversation is workaholism. In today's hustle and bustle culture, workaholism can be glorified and even rewarded. However, it becomes problematic when individuals use work as an escapist coping mechanism and neglect to address deeper issues in their lives. Dr. Judy Ho emphasizes the importance of a balanced self-esteem that stems from various sources, rather than solely relying on professional achievements.Healing through Inner Child Work:Dr. Judy Ho's new book introduces evidence-based methods for inner child work, an essential part of healing attachment styles. Our inner child carries the memories and experiences of our childhood, and unmet needs from that time can continue to impact us as adults. Reparenting our inner child involves acknowledging those wounds and fulfilling their needs with the resources and capabilities we now possess. By making contact with our inner child and actively addressing their needs, we can create a more secure attachment style and pave the way for meaningful and joyful connections.The Gender Perspective:Cary and Ashley raise an important question about potential differences in attachment styles between men and women. Dr. Judy Ho explains that due to cultural values and societal expectations, men and women may express their insecure attachment styles differently. Men may be more rewarded for prioritizing achievements over relationships, while women may face societal pressure to prioritize relationships. Understanding these cultural nuances allows individuals to reflect on how attachment styles may manifest differently based on gender.Attachment in the Digital Age:In the digital age, where virtual connections have become a norm, Cary Harrison highlights the challenges in forming deep and meaningful connections. Dr. Judy Ho emphasizes the significance of real-life connections and the limits of digital interactions. While technology provides convenience and enables conversations like the one between Cary Harrison and Dr. Judy Ho, balance is crucial. Finding opportunities for in-person connections and authentic conversations is essential for our overall well-being.SharePart. 2: ## Ruth Poniarski's Memoir & Journey Through Mental IllnessThe conversation took a revealing turn with Ruth Poniarski, an artist, sharing her nightmarish experience after unknowingly consuming a PCP laced brownie. The event led to a series of mental breakdowns characterized by insomnia, depression, paranoia, and irrational thinking.However, Poniarski managed to surmount these challenges, largely thanks to her encounter with a high-risk psychiatrist. His practical and relatable approach addressed the symptoms of her illnesses and helped her navigate her life better.Poniarski also discovered the power of art as a healing medium. She started painting in 1988, developing surreal, complex narratives that best expressed her feelings and inner turmoil. As she described it, "painting requires a lot of patience, diligence, and most of all, discipline" - qualities that certainly helped her journey towards recovery.## Mental Health Awareness Month: Encouraging Conversations that MatterMay marks Mental Health Awareness Month, a perfect phase to learn about mental health issues and foster meaningful conversations around them. Thus, Ruth’s Book, Journey of the Self: Memoir of an artist and this episode of "Reboot Your Life" reminds us of the importance of understanding, empathy, and practical strategies in the context of mental health and provides valuable insights into helping ourselves and the people around us.Exploration and conversations around mental health issues genuinely matter - whether it's unpacking complex theories like attachment styles, recognising often overlooked issues like workaholism, or acknowledging the therapeutic power of creative outlets like painting.

From Rome, we speak with Enrica Farruzzi, who transitioned from a grinding corporate career to a leader in spiritual practices and the healing arts. Then, Aurora Cossio, from Netflix’s top series, “Griselda" reveals her personal obstacles, medical challenges, and how she maintains mental resilience while pursuing even bigger dreams in Hollywood.Part. 1:## On the Path of Self-DiscoveryIn this newest episode of 'Reboot Your Life', we look to Rome, Italy’s, Enrica Ferruzzi, an expert on spirituality and healing. Enrica, who once thrived in a corporate world of suits and boardrooms, heeded her inner calling for deeper purpose and significance. She bid a brave farewell to the corporate grind, immersing herself into a journey of spirituality and healing arts.## Finding your SuperpowersWe discuss using holistic practices like mindfulness and spirituality to survive life-changing seasons. In a post-pandemic world that saw relationships unravel and people lose their jobs, self-love and self-care take the center stage more than ever before.Unlike the past, the narrative around mental well-being is changing. Old ways of living have given way to what makes us truly happy. For example, a person like Enrica can rediscover her hidden superpowers, embark on a captivating journey of self-discovery and healing, and write a new chapter in her life.## Adopting Mindfulness LifestyleHealing is an inside job, running deep in our minds and bodies. We speak about mindfulness- a state of being that helps us declutter our minds, pay attention to our inner minds, and makes room for change. Enrica talks about her life-altering journey of discovering mindfulness. She explains how her psychiatrist's suggestion to pay attention to her breathing seemed like a daunting task but eventually turned out to be the cornerstone of her stress management.From dealing with workaholic tendencies to exploring alternative therapies like mindfulness, Enrica has experienced a dynamic shift in her attitude towards life. She rebuts the notion of change being difficult, asserting instead that change is natural to our existence.## Beads of Light: Encouraging Transformation through SpiritualityEnrica Ferruzzi is the author of "Beads of Light," a book that encourages self-discovery and healing. The book conveys the importance of 'mindfulness', a concept that is very natural yet very neglected in our lives. It teaches us to pay attention to and understand the language of our mind and body, bringing us closer to our authentic selves.Part. 2:## In Conversation with Netflix Star Aurora CosioIn the second part of the episode, we chat with Aurora Cosio, a rising star from Netflix's top show 'Griselda'. Aurora shares her unique tale of following her dream and achieving it. Despite dealing with her medical condition, known as 'POTS', Aurora founded 'Good Morning Happiness.' This initiative is committed to spreading joy, love, and laughter as a way to cope with not only the aftermath of long Covid but also mental stresses of everyday life.Aurora's journey serves as a wonderful testimony to the power of resilience, hard work, and a positive outlook towards life. It reinforces that no dream is too large, as we all are capable of transforming our battles into our success stories. The key lies in how faithfully we show up for our dreams each day.## Netflix’s Aurora Cossio: Finding Happiness and Resilience Through Everyday ChallengesIn a world filled with daily challenges and limitations, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and discouraged. However, there are individuals who not only survive but thrive in the face of adversity. One such person is Aurora Cossio, widely known for her role in Netflix's number one series, Griselda. But Aurora's journey goes beyond the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. She has become an advocate for spreading joy, love, and laughter through her initiative called Good Morning Happiness.1. The Journey to Good Morning HappinessAurora Cossio's journey to Good Morning Happiness began with her personal struggles and the realization that going through life's challenges invariably affects our joy and well-being. Moving to the United States in pursuit of her dreams, she encountered numerous obstacles that threatened to overshadow her happiness. Additionally, Aurora shared her experience coping with a medical condition known as POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), which added to her physical and emotional pain. However, it was through her own journey of self-discovery that she found her way to Good Morning Happiness. By combining laughter therapy and the principles of neuroplasticity, Aurora harnessed the power of her mind to create a daily routine focused on joy and positivity.2. Unleashing the Power of NeuroplasticityA significant aspect of Aurora's Good Morning Happiness program is the understanding and application of neuroplasticity. She discovered that the brain is capable of forming new neural connections and rewiring itself, even in the face of physical and emotional challenges. By training the mind and directing thoughts towards positivity, individuals can unlock hidden potential and improve their overall quality of life. Aurora's background as a psychologist adds depth and expertise to her program, ensuring a holistic approach to mental well-being.3. Laughter as MedicineLaughter has long been hailed as the best medicine, and Aurora's experience affirms its power in truly transforming lives. When she started incorporating laughter therapy into her routine, she noticed a significant improvement in her physical and mental health. By deliberately seeking out opportunities for simulated laughter, Aurora was able to trigger positive physiological responses in her body. This simple yet powerful technique was instrumental in helping her find joy even during the most challenging moments.4. Resilience: Activating Your SuperpowersAnother key component of Aurora's program is resilience. She believes that resilience is a superpower that lies within each individual waiting to be activated. Through the Good Morning Happiness program, participants learn to tap into their inner strength and face adversity head-on. Building resilience involves working through past traumas and reprogramming limiting beliefs. Aurora's own journey is a testament to the transformative power of resilience. By continuously practicing and nurturing resilience, individuals can manifest their dreams and overcome any obstacles that come their way.Conclusion:Aurora Cossio's journey from Colombia to Hollywood serves as an inspiration to us all. Her focus on spreading joy, love, and laughter through her Good Morning Happiness initiative is a testament to her own commitment to self-improvement and helping others. By navigating medical challenges and finding happiness within herself, Aurora has shown us that the power to change our lives lies within. Through neuroplasticity, laughter, and resilience, individuals can unlock their full potential and thrive, no matter the circumstances. So, let Aurora's story be a reminder that there is always hope, and by embodying positivity, resilience, and self-belief, we can conquer any challenges that life throws our way. Let us embrace each day with a "Good Morning Happiness" mindset and embark on a journey of personal transformation.When you encounter a homeless veteran or one in trouble, you can call 877-424-3838 and someone will be dispatched to get them help?

Call us at: 800-871-5440Part. 1: **Allan’s Story**Allan candidly opens up about his life, outlining his struggles and hard-won victories. At a young age, Allan admits he was running away from his feelings and reality. He had a difficult home life and felt inherently different. He wed early and though he described his decade-long marriage as 'good' there were signs of deep-seated unhappiness beneath the surface. He was leading a double life that his wife, at the time didn't know about (men). His consumption - of alcohol, food, and ultimately life itself - grew disproportionately, creating an unhealthy, unwavering cycle of self-destruction, obesity, and complete erosion of health. **The Struggle with Alcoholism**Like many who struggle with addiction, Allan went through a series of attempts to get clean. His life fell apart, yet he was still unable to find a lasting solution or enjoy a life free from the toxic influence of addiction. Stuck between self-loathing and a desperate desire for change, Allan found himself at a crossroads. For Allan, hitting bottom while at death’s door from severe illness and alcohol, he finally turned his life around.Paving the Path to RecoveryThe turning point in Allan's life happened in a detox center where he realized the harsh reality of his addiction. He understood the impact his drinking had on his relationships and his health. Allan D.'s life story is about a battle he waged privately in his life for many years, trying to juggle between societal expectations and his destructive addiction. He reflects on how his life had been derailed by an insatiable desire for alcohol, despite the glaring negative repercussions.**Final Takeaway**Allan D.'s story is a testament to those battling addiction. His journey shows us that while the struggle is undeniably grueling, it is not insurmountable. By being honest with yourself, acknowledging the issue, seeking help, and staying committed to recovery, beautiful transformations can occur.The journey may be long, and the path strenuous, but as Allan's story reminds us, hope is an active choice that we make during our darkest times. In the end, it’s this choice and our relentless pursuit of betterment that lights the path to a hopeful, alcohol-free life.To each person who identifies with Allan’s story or has a loved one in the throes of addiction, remember that resources are available. Riverside Recovery is always there to extend help and guide you on the path to enduring recovery. **Parting Message**“If you're struggling out there, you don't have to live in that way of living anymore. There's a way out.” - Allan DDid you know, if you encounter a homeless veteran or one in trouble, you can call 877-424-3838 and someone will be dispatched to get them help? VA benefits now fund on-the-spot sightings of veterans in need and can guide them toward the treatment or services they may need. Part. 2: Understanding Alcoholism: Exploring the Science and Offering Hope for RecoveryFirst off, let's talk about the brain. Your brain is like the control center of your entire body, responsible for everything from basic functions like breathing and blinking to more complex tasks like decision-making and emotions. Now, when someone starts drinking heavily, it's like throwing a wild party in the brain.Alcohol doesn't just affect how you feel in the moment; it actually alters the chemistry of your brain. It's like tossing a bunch of rowdy guests into your city's streets, causing chaos and disruption. Alcohol messes with neurotransmitters, which are like the messengers that allow your brain cells to communicate with each other.But here's where things get really interesting: with repeated heavy drinking, your brain starts to adapt to the constant influx of alcohol. It's like the city installing barricades and roadblocks to try to maintain order amidst the chaos. Over time, these adaptations can lead to tolerance, where you need more and more alcohol to achieve the same effects, and dependence, where your brain relies on alcohol just to function normally.Some good news: your brain is incredibly resilient. Just as a city can recover from a natural disaster, your brain can bounce back from the damage caused by alcoholism. With the right treatment and support, you can start to rebuild those neural pathways and reclaim the life you love.Welcome aboard REBOOT YOUR LIFE!

In this episode of "Reboot Your Life" podcast, we sit down with Dr. Paul Lawrence, former Undersecretary for the Veterans Benefits Administration, to discuss his new book "Veterans Benefits for You." The conversation touches upon a range of critical topics, such as veteran rehab benefits along with a vast spectrum of additional veteran’s benefits. We then speak with a five-time cancer survivor who's endured numerous surgeries and treatments and shares her hard-fought wisdom and advice about sobriety, and the importance of positive thinking towards treatment and recovery.

During his time at the Veterans Benefits Administration, he managed a team of 25,000, administering $120 billion in benefits annually. His book serves as a straightforward guide, illuminating the multitude of benefits — ranging from basic healthcare and rehab services to mental healthcare, employment assistance, and more — that veterans are entitled to.Mental Health Support for VeteransA central topic of the conversation was the significance of mental health support for veterans. As Dr. Lawrence affirmed, any veteran in need of mental healthcare can visit any VA medical facility to seek assistance. He highlighted the connection between substance use disorders and mental health, noting that one in every ten veterans suffers from a substance abuse disorder.Did you know, if you encounter a homeless veteran or one in trouble, you can call 877-424-3838 and someone will be dispatched to get them help?

Dr. Lawrence emphasized the importance of understanding disability compensation for those injured during service.

This process has been simplified to make it more accessible and veteran-friendly.Exploring the Benefits of the GI BillThe conversation also touched upon the famous GI Bill from 1944. Dr. Lawrence explained how eligibles can benefit from a four-year free ride at state universities and even non-traditional educational opportunities like credentials, certificates, or trade-based careers.Affordable Home Ownership for VeteransAnother excellent benefit available to veterans is the ability to purchase a home with no down payment. Such mortgage benefits have helped increase the rate of homeownership among veterans, offering both improved stability and a valuable asset.Empowering veterans to understand and utilize the benefits due to them is a vital step toward recovery and reintegration. Part. 2: Overcoming Challenges: Kelly Gallagher's Inspiring StoryAs we introduced Gallagher, her story left us in awe. A five-time cancer survivor, powered by her sixth pacemaker and a prosthetic heart valve, Gallagher has faced numerous health challenges throughout her life. From 120 blood transfusions to a bone marrow transplant and an aortic pig valve replacement, her journey is nothing short of extraordinary. What makes her story even more remarkable is her sobriety and positive attitude and unwavering determination to make the most out of life. Merged Medicine: The Best of Both WorldsGallagher is a strong advocate for merging conventional and alternative wellness protocols. While she acknowledges the critical role mainstream medicine has played in saving her life, she firmly believes that a comprehensive approach to health is necessary. By incorporating both conventional treatments and alternative practices such as detoxification, emotional healing, and mindfulness, Gallagher has found a balance that has significantly impacted her overall well-being.Inspiring Others: Kelly Gallagher's journey and her commitment to sharing her knowledge have inspired countless individuals around the world. Through her award-winning films, events, and advocacy work, she aims to educate others about non-toxic health treatments and empower them to make informed decisions about their well-being. Kelly's impact can be felt not only in the medical community but also in the lives of those seeking guidance and hope.Welcome aboard REBOOT YOUR LIFE!

Jeff Key, a Marine Corps veteran and founder of Veterans Filmmaking Project, battled alcohol and other substances only to find real strength in recovery and a national platform to help others.Did you know, each month Riverside Recovery in Tampa makes its campus freely available for a variety of veteran’s groups to meet and showcase the many support services available to our veterans? Riverside also provides direct treatment options to fast-track veterans toward recovery and to regain the lives they deserve.A Calling to Serve:At the age of 34, Jeff Key embarked on a path known for its physical and mental challenges – the United States Marine Corps. Despite being six years past the Marine Corps age cutoff, Jeff's reasons for joining were deeply rooted in his desire to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, protect defenseless individuals, and promote peace and love. Growing up in rural Alabama, Jeff's upbringing in the Church of Christ and his resilient belief in God and his country served as a foundation for his unwavering commitment.Breaking Barriers and Opening Minds:While his journey as a Marine was as challenging as expected, it was Jeff's fearless integrity in remaining openly gay during a time of limited support that truly set him apart. By embodying his constitutional principles and advocating for LGBTQ+ rights, Jeff played a pivotal role in sparking national shifts in military policy. His boldness and unwavering dedication ultimately led to the opening up of military policies across all services, even to this day.Veterans Filmmaking Project:Jeff's dedication to serving fellow veterans extended beyond his time in the Marines. After finding recovery from my life of drinking and cannabis, he founded the Veteran’s Filmmaking Project, a heartfelt homage to the working class people of America. The project centers around his comrade Sheldon James, a fellow Iraq veteran battling stage 4 cancer due to years of daily cigarette smoking. Through this film, titled "Clown," Sheldon aims to leave a lasting legacy and raise awareness about the choices one can make in life and the demons inherent in addictive, habitual behavior. Jeff's efforts with the Veteran’s Filmmaking Project aim to ensure that all veterans receive the treatment and care they rightfully deserve.Championing Veterans' Rights:Through his play "The Eyes of Babylon," based on his Iraq war journals, Jeff brought to light the experiences and struggles of veterans. He has also collaborated with diverse groups of individuals through his social network initiative, Black Elephant, fostering connection and understanding among people from all walks of life.Words of Wisdom and Hope:When asked for advice to individuals facing challenges similar to his own, Jeff Key emphasized the importance of helping others. Drawing from his experiences in the Marines and his journey as an advocate, Jeff's message is clear – if you're hurting, help somebody, and in turn, both of you will find solace. Jeff's unwavering belief in possibility, despite facing numerous obstacles, serves as an inspiration to all.Part. 2: The Healing Power of Red Light Therapy: A Game Changer in More Than Physical Recovery and PerformanceUnderstanding Red Light TherapyIn simple terms, Red Light Therapy is a technique that uses red and near-infrared light to stimulate our body's natural healing processes. Our cell's powerhouse, the mitochondria, is the primary target here. The therapy triggers an increase in adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a molecule that fuels our cells. This increase reduces stress in the body and aids our cells in rejuvenation and healing.Dr. Carl Rothschild, a chiropractor, author, and the inventor of Trifecta Infrared Advanced Light Technology, gives us an in-depth understanding of this therapy. With over 25 years of experience in the field, his innovative bed therapy technique has reportedly assisted in boosting physical performance, stimulating cell regeneration, speeding up athletic recovery, fighting muscle loss, and even defying aging.Empowering the Ordinary: Red Light Therapy for EveryoneWhile the therapy initially gained traction due to its benefits for professional athletes, it isn't exclusive to them. In explaining how the body’s cells work, he calls the therapy the 'fountain of youth' for anyone seeking to defy aging and boost cognitive function - as a holistic and side-effect-free, non-invasive treatment. As more research unfolds in the field, it continues to generate hope for people dealing with myriad health issues.

In this episode of 'Reboot Your Life!', hosts Cary Harrison and Ashley Neal talk to guests Kevin Peterson, founder of the Chronic Hope Institute and Amanda Marino, a certified recovery and life coach and A&E TV interventionist. Peterson, being in recovery since 1991 feels family of origin trauma and codependency as the root cause of addiction. He discusses his personal journey of recovery, expertise in helping families battling addiction and codependency using holistic healing strategies. Marino shares about her struggles with substance abuse, low self-esteem, body dysmorphia, and her journey to recovery with the aid of counselling and therapy. Marino believes it's vital to help others overcome similar obstacles by focusing on personalized, creative, and out-of-the-box treatment plans for her clients. You can also find support through organizations such as Riverside Recovery of Tampa.Each with their respective journey from addiction to rebooting their lives, Kevin and Amanda exemplify the power of resilience, self-awareness, and continuous improvement. Through their determined narratives (not to mention unexpected hangover-free New Year's stories), they remind us how we can indeed write our own scripts.## Rebooting Life: Addiction, Codependency and The Hope that PrevailsDuring the episode, Kevin Peterson, an author, a therapist, and the founder of the Chronic Hope Institute, joins the conversation. He reflects on his journey of recovery since 1991, his contributions to the field, and his empathetic approach to supporting families struggling with addiction and codependency.Peterson talks candidly about his childhood - a home filled with addiction and mental health issues that required him, in his tender years, to care for his mother. He paints a stark contrast to the caricatured version of 'normal' we often imagine, one that includes Pop-Tarts, family dinners and fuss-free parenting. Inundated with uncertainties about which version of his mother he would encounter each day, Peterson was inadvertently geared to be uniquely qualified to aid families beset by addiction.## Recovery: The Unforeseen RollercoasterPeterson touches on codependency, highlighting that just as every family is unique so is every journey towards recovery. He clarifies codependency as an implicit pact of working harder on someone's problem than they are, a profound sacrifice that parents make due to their deep-seated love for their children. But he cautions that this philosophy isn't a panacea.## Manifesting the Path to RecoveryNext, we hear from Amanda Marino, a certified recovery and life coach, who speaks about her transformation from battling substance abuse and body dysmorphia. Amanda discussed their views on health and fitness, emphasizing the importance of self-care and moderation with her personal experiences with food and weight loss, and how her travels to Europe influenced her to adopt healthier eating habits. She also touched on the impact of gluten on digestive health. Amanda shares her moment of change when she gave birth to her first child. Dealing with heavy emotions and grappling with new responsibilities, she utilized that rocky start to fuel her efforts to reboot her life with an aim to provide a safe and stable environment for her son.## The Unforgiving Grip of Body DysmorphiaMarino broaches a topic often pushed under the rug: body dysmorphia. She reveals how it hit her hardest when she was at her leanest, marking an unexpected twist in her recovery narrative. Her journey echoes the harsh reality that one's own body often becomes a battleground, with each day devoted to struggling with self-perceived flaws.## Reconnections to Rediscover StrengthsAmanda's sudden edge towards positive self-image came when she reverted her focus from what she was to who she wanted to be, highlighting the power of proactivity in one's life. She voices out about tuning out the societal pressure and tuning into rebuilding self-esteem to overcome the emotional blockades. Through their pathways filled with crossroads, both Kevin and Amanda echo the same sentiment: recovery isn't a linear journey constrained to one path. It's an ever-changing, dynamic process, asking us to meet it, engage with it, and learn from it continually.## Journey ForwardIf anything, this episode shows us that by embracing obstacles as stepping stones for growth, one can indeed reboot their life. It might not be an easy process, but as Marino said, it is possible, and no one is alone in their journey. It's all about reaching out, making a difference and finding the strength within to transform the struggles you face into a story of hope and resilience.Join Cary Harrison and Ashley Neal in the "Reboot Your Life" podcast to find solace, connect, and be a part of a story of transformation, motivation, and the constant journey of self-discovery.

The pursuit of an informed, balanced life, where professionalism and personal growth marries mindfulness and wellness, is never a solitary journey.

Navigating the Path to Transformation: Lessons from Deepak Chopra And Personal ExperiencesNew episode of Reboot Your Life is now live! We had the privilege to chat with the legendary Deepak Chopra, unveiling layers of self-esteem and the transformative power of conscious choices. Tune in for an electrifying conversation into the profound realms of leadership, spirituality and consciousness. #RebootYourLife #DeepakChopra #Transformation #Leadership #SpiritualityIn a compelling episode of Reboot Your Life, hosts Cary Harrison and Ashley Neal provide deep insights into self-transformation, drawing upon personal experiences and a riveting interview with the legendary Deepak Chopra. This post gives a detailed overview of that transformative conversation and dives deeper into how we can apply these life-altering insights into our lives.Deepak Chopra, once an esteemed endocrinologist, transitioned into a spiritual luminary who has crossed the bridges of medicine, endocrinology, and spirituality. In this episode, Chopra elucidates on his book, 'The Soul of Leadership', discussing how we can navigate our lives post-treatment, uncovering our newfound strengths whilst recognizing the interconnectedness of our actions and the very fabric of our consciousness.According to Chopra, neuroplasticity - the brain's ability to rewire itself, is integral to personal transformation. Through conscious exercises of insightful thinking, we have the capability to create new neurological pathways in our brain, allowing us to break free from old, dysfunctional thought patterns and facilitating beneficial changes in our lives.Chopra demystifies the concept of Self-Esteem. Rather than confusing it with the self-image, which is what people perceive of us, Chopra challenges us to dive deeper into our psyches and unveil the multiple layers of self-esteem. The dance of engagement, conscious choice-making, and the transformative power of conscious decisions make up the essence of self-esteem.A crucial point across the discussion was the idea of questioning our limiting beliefs. By introspecting and challenging the constraints we have bound ourselves with, we can liberate ourselves from negative patterns and embrace our true potential.Chopra's wisdom, coupled with real-life experiences shared by hosts Cary Harrison and Ashley Neal, form a powerful resource that influences the very notion of personal growth and recovery. By embracing a new perspective and staying committed to our journey of transformation, we can all rewrite our life scripts in profound and meaningful ways. The path to self-transformation, although riddled with challenges, is achievable and, in the end, incredibly rewarding.Learn more about Riverside Recovery:RRtampa.com or call 800-871-5440 This is a public episode.

From its title to the content delivery, the documentary series, "REBOOT YOUR LIFE!", is a game changer. Its aim is to show individuals that upgrading their lives is not as impossible a task as it seems. With its insightful approach rooted in science and psychology, it focuses on addiction, personal growth, and self-esteem. If you missed the groundbreaking show, here is your chance to catch up. This blog post is an adapted review of the podcast that offers a window into understanding addiction and practical life hacks to navigate it.### Understanding AddictionA standout part of the show features Cary Harrison and Ashley Neals's chat with Dr. Michael Nuccitelli, a licensed psychologist based in New York. With over 35 years of clinical experience, his work centers on providing educational and advisory services on internet addiction and cyber-predation. Nuccitelli explains how internet addiction manifests, highlighting the growing dependence on online platforms such as social media, e-commerce sites, and video gaming platforms. Interestingly, he traces the roots of this dependence to the unique psychological state of various individuals. Given the broad spectrum of belief systems and understanding mechanisms among people, the drive towards addiction can differ. ### Dealing with Online Predators A serious aspect of this episode delves into the threats of internet predators. Falling victim to such predators, as Nuccitelli advises, often stems from the volume of personal information available online and the addictive nature of the Internet.So, what's the solution? Reduce the amount of personal information you share online and avoid disseminating sexually themed content. This applies not only to adults but to teenagers and children to whom the effects of online scams, bullying, and trolling could be detrimental. ### Unraveling the Complexities of Internal Family Systems (IFS)The highlight of this episode is perhaps the conversation with Derek Scott, a disciple of the Internal Family Systems model (IFS). He describes the human psyche as a composition of diverse inner personalities that engage in mutual and occasional conflict. Using the analogy of microbial communities in a gut habitat, Scott explains how different parts of an individual's personality can conflict and result in discomfort like shame or trauma. By processing these feelings and addressing them with care and compassion, he believes the burdens can be released, creating a more harmonious mental state.### The Role of Riverside RecoveryAlongside these enlightening discussions and insights, "REBOOT YOUR LIFE!" is proudly brought to you by Riverside Recovery of Tampa. This facility prides itself on a comprehensive approach to addiction treatment. They provide a variety of therapy methods, counseling and support services all dedicated to sustained recovery. The team at Riverside listens to each client's unique needs, drawing up personalized treatment plans to ensure the most effective results. ### Conclusion "REBOOT YOUR LIFE" is not just a series. It's a movement, a guide, and a resource for anyone seeking to understand how they can upgrade their lives. From grappling with addiction to taking definitive steps towards recovery, every moment serves as a beacon of hope for those struggling. Each conversation, guest speaker, and case study on the show simply aims to remind us all of one thing—that a life upgrade isn't an impossible dream. It's something within our reach if only we choose to seek it, pursue it, and preserve it with relentless determination.Learn more about Riverside Recovery:RRtampa.com or call 800-871-5440 This is a public episode.
