How Dr. Nasha Winters and Steve Ottersberg are Healing Cancer from Soil to Soul

Today's episode is absolutely packed - it is chock full of information and tangible tips that we all can do right now. Dr. Nasha and Steve share their experiences with cancer and cancer treatment, how they are helping to change the field of oncology, and why they have an optimistic outlook on cancer and its treatments.    In this episode you will hear:  Nasha and Steve's personal and professional journeys with cancer.  Taking a healthy approach to data analysis. Listening to your body to heal (not cure) yourself. The birth of MTOmics and understanding cancer metabolism and respiration.  Why you should look at your entire medical and life history - your biography dictates your biology, and your biology can dictate your biography.  Individualizing your treatment based on your biochemical individuality.  The dynamic future of oncology. Why breathing is the secret to thriving in life.      In the fall of 1991, Nasha was given a terminal cancer diagnosis shortly after she started dating Steve. Who knew that the two of them would embark on the most amazing adventure ever---overcoming the odds, finding passion and purpose from pain, realizing a better way to change healthcare outcomes and pulling together all their experiences and resources to launch a non-profit hospital and research institute, education and data platform and global network of physicians and patient advocates.

Pete Bombaci Wants You to Talk to Strangers

Today, our conversation with Pete Bombaci is all about human connection and we explore the vital role of human connection in today's increasingly digital world. The huge number of the global population is getting lonelier each passing year, which is extremely concerning, especially when you look at how loneliness affects people's physical and mental health. Yes, says Pete, but it is a pandemic that we can directly impact and change. He shares with us many ways we can increase our connections every day, including easy ways to speak to strangers and how we can all have a better, healthier relationship with the digital sphere.      In this episode you will hear:    Why human connection is more important than exercise and eating well.  The importance of turning off distractions and connecting with others.  Making social connection part of your day-to-day life.  How we can consciously build connections one person at a time.  Reasons you should go to the office if you have the choice.  The long-term physical and mental effects of chronic loneliness.   How you can change the world just by reaching out to one person and actively listening.  Closing the gap of human connection and learning to talk to strangers.  Ideas for growing the number of connections in your life.      Pete is a human connection expert and the Founder and Executive Director of The GenWell Project, a Human Connection Movement that has been working since 2016 to educate, empower and catalyze people around the importance of human connection for their health, happiness, longevity, and the benefit of society as a whole. We have all been educated on eating well, exercise, not smoking, and more, but we have never taken the time to educate the broader population about the importance of human connection for our own well-being and for the benefit of those we connect with.   The solution to the disconnected world that we live in today should not be a medical one, but one where each of us recognizes that we are all part of the solution and that we need each other, maybe more than ever.   Connect with Pete Bombaci:   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegenwellproject/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/genwellproject/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/genwellproject LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/genwellproject/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8K6MIhIY6y1t7tJqznpBWA     Connect with R Blank and Stephanie Warner:  For more Healthier Tech Podcast episodes, and to download our Healthier Tech Quick Start Guide, visit https://HealthierTech.co and follow https://instagram.com/healthiertech Additional Links: Shield Your Body website: https://ShieldYourBody.com Shield Your Body Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/shieldyourbody Host R Blank on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rblank9/ Shield Your Body on Instagram: https://instagram.com/shieldyourbody

Dr. Christopher Duhon Wants You to Listen to Your Body’s Signals

Today, I talked with Dr. Christopher Duhon about his passion for working with people on their terrain, the foundation of their health. We had a fascinating discussion on the biofeedback signs our bodies give, why we need to listen to them, and how our habits affect the choices we make in regard to our health. We also delve into the world of telemedicine and hear from him, as a doctor who has worked firsthand with telemedicine, how it is making medical care more accessible to more people around the world.    In this episode you will hear:  Healing the whole person.  How Terrain Ten differs from current Western medicine and holistic medicine.  The truth of polypharmacy.  The social pressures and established habits of our lives.  Listening to the biofeedback of your body.  The precious nature of your health.  Telemedicine versus in-person medicine.      Dr. Christopher Duhon grew up in a small town in southern Louisiana near Lafayette. As he matured and experienced life, particularly, medical school, what he discovered to be his passion all along is working with a person's terrain, the foundation of their health, their "soil," so to speak. Dr. Duhon's gift of listening to his patient's body has allowed him to honor their uniqueness and develop individualized personal care. He has been fortunate to be mentored by some brilliant Swiss medical doctors and local naturopaths who imparted their wisdom and experience to him. It has left him with a wide variety of tools to offer his patients (i.e., IV therapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen, O3 therapy, Swiss-German Biological Medicine, Terrain Ten work, and more). Dr. Duhon works out of his own office in Seattle, WA, both virtually and in person. He is comfortable with all cancer types and applies the Terrain Ten methodology to all cases in order to dismantle the process bit by bit.

Recounting My Time on the Dr. Phil Show with R Blank

For this episode, Stephanie gets to interview our very own R Blank to discuss his experience being invited, interviewed, and, dare I say, groomed to be a non-expert expert guest on Dr. Phil, the popular nationwide talk show, for an episode with the topic of microchipping humans for various use cases. We're going to go through the whole process with R and spend time discussing what he learned about how EMF topics are covered in media. This is a very special episode of the podcast and one you won't want to miss. In this episode you will hear:  R's experience with the Dr. Phil show.  Finding the balance between communicating information and connecting with the audience.  Traveling and the pre-show experience.  How EMF is covered by mainstream media.  Spreading the word about EMF to wider audiences.  Counterprepping on television and expectations versus reality.  R also discusses his debate with Amal Graafstra, the head of VivoKey technologies. Moving the ball forward in public knowledge.     Connect with R Blank and Stephanie Warner:  For more Healthier Tech Podcast episodes, and to download our Healthier Tech Quick Start Guide, visit https://HealthierTech.co and follow https://instagram.com/healthiertech Coverage about the episode:  NY Post: https://nypost.com/2022/12/15/dr-phil-guests-spar-over-humans-being-microchipped/ Fox News: https://www.foxnews.com/media/dr-phil-guests-spar-humans-being-microchipped-implanting-computers-humans-dangerous Polish News:  https://polishnews.co.uk/dr-phil-guests-spar-over-humans-being-microchipped-implanting-computers-into-humans-is-dangerous/   Additional Links: Shield Your Body website: https://ShieldYourBody.com Shield Your Body Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/shieldyourbody Host R Blank on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rblank9/ Shield Your Body on Instagram: https://instagram.com/shieldyourbody
