Together let's plan how St. Louis can work together to improve our overall health and become "Alive and Well." Understanding Trauma and Its Impact Makes us Alive and Well!Research demonstrates that adverse events and stress - especially persistent, toxic stress or traumatic incidents - lead to chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease and some types of cancer, as well as depression, alcoholism and drug abuse.

It may be jarring to know that seven out of 10 people in the U.S. have been prescribed a drug over the past year. It may be more surprising to know that one out of every 10 people are now taking an antidepressant; among women in their 40's and 50's, th...

A Mans Response-Episode 1Trying to Understand FergusonChristopher Harrell (43) facilitates this very relevant and important discussion with Roland Garrison (57) an educator, Jarred Arms, (24) a CEO of a mobile technology company, Etoya Dickerson (43), an educator and part-time bartender and DeMarco Davidson (33) an engineering graduate who volunteers in various community organizations. Following the civil unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, these very different men from different backgrounds, generations and occupations join together to discuss what is and could be a man’s response to these circumstances.They analyze scenarios with relevance to different age genres (ages 16 to 19) who are probably most in tuned with recent events, (ages 19 – 32) who are probably just getting out of college and worried about how to make a living - concentrating on maybe starting a family, and (ages 32 on up) who are preparing for family and working life, right on up to retirement age.Between them they break down the legacies passed down from generation to generation. They discuss age-old problems of racial tension that have allegedly lied dormant but are still as relevant today as they’ve always been, especially as it culminates into the current situation in Ferguson.Not limited to current and serious events, we also see the conversation widen and encompass some much lighter discussion - family life, occupations and some quirky and enlightening anecdotes along the way.Through the round table discussion we hear surprising facts and also timely reminders that the more things change, the more they stay the same despite the best will in the world and efforts that are made. You will be left enlightened, enthralled and encouraged by this inviting episode of “A Mans Response”.

First Hand First Look..."black-ish":Wednesdays, 9:30-10:00 p.m.ABC's new family comedy, "black-ish," takes a fun yet bold look at one man's determination to establish a sense of cultural identity for his family. The series stars Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross and special guest star Laurence Fishburne.Like any parents, Andre "Dre" (Anthony Anderson) and Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross) Johnson want to give their children the best. But their offspring's childhood is turning out to be much different than theirs. They now realize at least two things: there is a price to pay for giving their children more than what they ever had, and these loving parents are totally unprepared for the fallout.Dre considers himself the family patriarch and when he looks at his life - he sees a beautiful wife and four kids living happily in their colonial home in the 'burbs. But when he looks a little closer -- have the trappings of success brought too much assimilation for this black family? The world he sees has a much different lens than the one he would like his family to look through.Jade Harrell with creator Kenya Barris in an enlightening and candid conversation about this colorful new series.In this episode you will find out:* Why Kenya chose the name black-ish* Why he wouldn't change the name despite the backlash.* What statement Kenya is trying to make?* Why are some people offput before previewing the program?* Is Kenya trying to define what black IS?* How is black culture handled in black society.* How "black-ish" is just as much about socio-economics as it is race.*What is the BIG part of the purpose of the show that hits close to home?"black-ish" stars Anthony Anderson as Andre "Dre" Johnson, Tracee Ellis Ross as Rainbow Johnson, Yara Shahidi as Zoey Johnson, Marcus Scribner as Andre Johnson, Jr., Miles Brown as Jack Johnson, Marsai Martin as Diane Johnson and special guest star, Laurence Fishburne."black-ish" was created by Kenya Barris and is executive-produced by Barris, Larry Wilmore, Anthony Anderson, Laurence Fishburne, Helen Sugland and E.

"One of the things that we as a society do not do, is listen. Even when we are think we are listening we are thinking of what we are going to say back, we do not listen well, the reality is that I think my health and wellbeing and my families health and wellbeing is dependent on the wellbeing of people around me, in my Community in my neighborhood, where I work and what have you, again the whole concept of inter-dependence verses independence." Joe YanceyBecoming Alive And Well“Alive and Well STL” hosted by Bethany Johnson-Javios kicks off its third season in earnest with this episode. Each week you are invited to listen in and join in the conversation of this ‘Alive and Well’ MOVEMENT . Today, Bethany is joined is joined by Joe Yancey, Chair of the Regional Health Commission’s Community Advisory Board and Rosetta Keeton, Patient Advocate for the St. Louis Regional Health Commission.In this episode you will realize:•How hope is CONTAGIOUS•How we must accept people for WHO they are, and not be too judgmental – because everybody is where they are because of something that has happened – good or bad. It may not necessarily be their fault if they are down on luck.•That somewhere between “your side” and “my side”, lies the TRUE side of a story if we will only listen.•Why listening is so important – people can hear somebody talking without actually listening to what they are saying.•If we listen, slow down, breath and accept people around us for what they are, we can start the long journey of being truly alive and well.•Life can be tough, and if we can take it slowly step by step and meet all challenges, then we can slowly but surely make it through our journey – because that is what life is – a journey, and its up to each of us to make the best of that journey that we can.•People don’t understand that the connection between what is good for us and how we respond to these things is a vital part of living life to its full.Joe gives us an incisive understanding of stress and its impact on our health and lives.Rosetta invites you to BECOME ‘Alive And Well’Listen in, connect and join the "Alive and Well" movement.

If we're going to be successful in the field of nutrition, then we've got to come to the realization that EVERYTHING you put into your body has an impact.Whether you're eating a walnut or a doughnut, it will change every cell in your body at some level. Food is truly that powerful.It's time we start to leverage this to look and feel the way that we want. I often tell people that food isn't just food, it's information. And we need to start asking questions like: What kind of information am I putting into my body?Before you make a decision to eat a food, take a supplement, or take a drug, just take a second and contemplate what this substance is commanding your body to do. Are you making a food choice that is commanding your body to secrete more insulin than it can handle, store more fat, and damage your metabolism? You can literally command your body to do this with a bottle of Mountain Dew.Are you taking a synthetic supplement that will overstimulate your nervous system and make you think that you have more energy... when you're really just burning out your adrenal glands?We have to take more responsibility for what we are putting into our bodies so that we can rise above the disease, poor performance, and struggle that has become common place in our society.Knowing all of this, it's not a small thing to take a supplement. You'd better know what's in that supplement, where it comes from, and whether or not the human body even recognizes it in the first place.Today we've got on the CEO of a company that is focused on what they call Total Human Optimization. Everyone from professional athletes to top executives are rushing to get their hands on the products and information that this company has put together.Onnit is a brand that's making huge waves in the fitness and nutrition industry by standing for something unique. It's not just about the incredible supplements they carry (that are actually derived from earth grown nutrients), it's about the food you eat, it's about the exercise you do, and it's about the lifestyle you take on to bring it all together and make it work.The CEO of Onnit, Aubrey Marcus, cares about people, cares about service, and cares about making a real impact. He's a leader that really walks his talk, and he's about to share a wealth of information with you that can improve your life for many years to come.In this episode you'll discover:How to turn the knowledge you acquire into real change in your life.What influenced Aubrey to begin taking supplements (great story about a napkin!)Why athlete's like A.J. Hawk from the Green Bay Packers are using Onnit products (this will surprise you!)Why earth-grown nutrients need to be the basis of all high quality supplements.How taking synthetic supplements can work in the short-term but cost you in the long-term.What compounds in hemp protein make it so interactive with human muscle.Why hemp was paramount to the growth of the U.S. then eventually banned due to corporate interest.Whether or not hemp protein will cause you to fail a drug test.How using higher quality supplements saves you money because you use less of it.Why radioactive wastes and heavy metals may be a concern with conventional fish oil.Where to find a safer, more effective source of Omega 3's.How cordyceps impacts your cells to give you more energy.What an adaptogen is and why we need them.How our society has been trained to fear dietary fat.Why dietary fat is CRITICAL to your nervous system function (you'll love this analogy!)What Trilogy Butter is and why I eat it out of the jar like a madman.Why the human body is not designed to only do linear movements (squats are great but...)Why service, not money, is the key to success in the long-term.Items mentioned in this episode include:Onnit.com/Model

Have you ever heard the saying, "First impressions last a lifetime"? Whether it's true or not, we make snap judgements about people upon meeting them for the first time.

In St. Louis there is a growing crisis with heroin addiction and prescription drug abuse. Substance abuse is usually a symptom of other underlying issues where the substance use or harmful behavior serve as a coping mechanism for another problem. Bethany and Dr. Fred Rottnek, Medical Director of Corrections Medicine for the St. Louis County Department of Health and Associate Professor at St. Louis University, discuss substance abuse, addiction, and treatment. Dr. Rottnek defines addiction as something we do even though we know it is bad for us. The diagnosis of addiction is larger than only substance abuse, which is a type of addition. Dr. Rottnek reminds the audience that it is important to remember how broad the definition of an addict is so that we do not label somebody as ‘different than me’ because ‘they have a drug problem.’ Substance abuse, a type of addiction, is often recognized as a pattern of behavior that is destructive and harmful the user and to others. Despite the substance creating negative consequences in the addict’s life, they continue to use the substance. Dr. Rottnek encourages families to be hyper-vigilant about putting prescription medicines out of site because they are often a gateway drug into long-term addiction. Bethany and Dr. Rottnek discuss common causes of addiction.After the addict begins the negative behavior, it is difficult to stop because that means admitting to yourself something is wrong and something isn’t working. There are resources and help for people in St. Louis who want treatment. If you think you may be an addict or you may know an addict please visit http://www.samhsa.gov/ or call (800) 575-7480 for more information. For Dr. Rottnek, being Alive and Well in STL means being content in daily life, enjoying and nourishing meaningful relationships, and taking pride in his work. Post below to tell us what it means to you!

Bethany shares the love with Dr. Angela Brown, Hypertension Specialist at Washington University, and Brenda Mahr, CEO of Employment Connection to talk about heart diseases and how important it is for your wellbeing to know your family medical history and your own medical status. The Regional Health Commission’s Decade Review of Health Status Report shows that heart disease mortality has fallen by 29% across the region but that despite this positive trend about a third of St. Louis City residents are living with hypertension and/or high cholesterol. Listen-in to hear Dr. Brown’s tips for staying healthy and above the statistics: •Know your numbers (cholesterol, blood pressure, etc.) and family history•Walk when and where you can •Stop eating so much salt (it only takes 21 days of eating less salt until you won’t miss it anymore!) Brenda joins Bethany and Dr. Brown to remind us that people aren’t statistics.

What is “trauma?” What does it mean to be traumatized? What are the long-term consequences for individuals and communities who are affected by trauma? Tune-in as Bethany is joined by Joe Yancey, Executive Director of Places for People, and Suzanne LeLaurin, Senior Vice President of Program at the International Institute, to answer these questions and more.For Joe, Suzanne, and many of the listeners we have heard from agree that being Alive and Well in St. Louis means being both emotionally and physically healthy. “Trauma,” which Joe define as experiencing or witnessing an event that compromises an individual’s sense of safety and wellbeing, is a major mental and emotional health issue in our region. Trauma is very difficult to recognize and identify and while the issue is gaining increasing attention from the medical community, there are pockets in our community that have normalized trauma and traumatic experiences. Join Joe, Suzanne, and Bethany as they discuss the steps we are taking, and need to start taking, as a region to create trauma-informed and supportive communities. Together we can build a stronger St. Louis.
