It is another jammed packed Family Fun Friday edition of the We Choose Respect ParentCast. We first meet Kevin Kessler, a true modern day renaissance man. A former pro wrestler, a current podcaster and podcast network owner and the author of Rosinanti. The Rosinanti Dragons are no more. Since their extinction nearly one thousand years ago these primal powerhouses have fallen into the obscurity of history’s forgotten lore. In that time, humans have come to dominate the world of Terra, peacefully ignorant to one horrifying truth: that ancient evil stirs around them, waiting to reclaim its lost world. It is a great read.

Today's featured guest is Jennifer Schmid, MSN, RN, CNL. Jennifer believes your body is a miracle. You can put it through hell, feed it terribly or suffer long-term disease, and it will bounce back full of life and energy again – simply with the right tools.

Jennifer and her team at Oasis Wellness have created a system that will do just that. At Oasis, they believe healing for good is possible. They have watched too many people suffer and not be able to live their lives freely and to the fullest because they just didn’t have the information or the tools to do it.

This is a special edition of the We Choose Respect ParentCast created especially for Dyslexic and Unstoppable

Jun 15, 2016

In this episode of the We Choose Respect ParentCast we meet Doug and Luccie Curtis, authors of the book Dyslexic and Unstoppable, who help us explore dyslexia. One of the first things we discover is that kids with dyslexia think and learn differently. This posses a problem in schools because most classroom teachers do not have the training and resources to help these kids learn in a way that is natural for them. It is a fascinating look into this often misunderstood topic.

Clinical depression is a serious medical illness that not only can turn a happy retirement into a time of misery, but also leads to a wide range of health problems. Depression increases the rate of disease such as stroke, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s disease and worsens the course of others such as diabetes, chronic lung disease, and cancer. It also contributes to avoidable disability and premature death.

Beat Depression to Stay Healthier and Live Longer alerts readers to this untold story. It challenges beliefs that depression is normal in old age because old age is depressing, instead helping readers see that depression is a serious brain disease, often related to changes in the brain associated with the aging process. Gary S. Moak clearly and compassionately explains depression as a physically destructive state, in which a brain on overdrive runs the body ragged, accelerating age-related wear and tear. Depression is not a harmless condition older adults can live with, and Dr. Moak addresses the impact of depression on specific geriatric health problems. Case stories, taken from the author’s experience practicing geriatric psychiatry for thirty years, are used to illustrate the physically and mentally harmful effects of depression and the road to recovering well.

Birgitte Rasine is an award-winning author, journalist, producer, and entrepreneur whose work marries sustainability with storytelling, mobile apps with print books, and art with technology. She is the author of numerous literary works and articles, and has spoken on topics ranging from media to sustainability on three continents. If you liked "The Golden Compass" and "The Chronicles of Narnia," be prepared to fall in love with mythic fantasy all over again. The Jaguar and the Cacao Tree pulls you into a mesmerizing world that blurs the lines between science, mythology,and the hidden magic of nature most adults find all but impossible. One of the world's authorities on chocolate, the C-Spot, calls the book "a strong contender for the best [chocolate] title in the last 5 years."

When American-born Max and Maya-born Itzel open the pods of the Sacred Cacao Tree one night, they unwittingly unleash forces that threaten the past and future of the world's most desirable food--and awaken two mythic beasts guarding the very DNA of chocolate.

This book is perfect for book club discussions. A sequel, a coloring book, and an interactive game are all in the works for fans.
