Tyler Capen Ramsey is a Los Angeles–based artist known for his performance art, his "drip painting" of shoes for company Toms Shoes and for painting only with his fingers, rather than with brushes. Tyler Ramsey, the producer of “Survivor: Gabon,” recently revealed that he was fired from the competition show -- for falling in love. Ramsey opened up to explain how he met his future wife, Jacquie Berg, and subsequently got fired. Berg was a contestant on the 2008 “Survivor” season, “Gabon,” when she met “the love of her life,” Ramsey. “[Jacqui] was a contestant, and I used to be a producer,” Ramsey explained of how their paths crossed. But how does one get fired for “falling in love"? According to the producer, it was because the show had only one rule: Don’t mess around with the contestants.

Ben Gleib was named by TBS one of the "funniest comedians working today."   He’s host, head writer, and executive producer of the Emmy nominated "Idiotest" on NETFLIX. The hit comedy brain teaser game show originally had four seasons & 210 episodes on Game Show Network, and was their most watched original.   For 7 years he was one of the stars of “Chelsea Lately" on E! with over 100 appearances on the round table!   He currently can be seen in the “Jay and Silent Bob Reboot” movie, along with Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, Chris Hemsworth, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Recently he pranked David Beckham on “The Late Late Show with James Corden“ which got 27 million views.   His hilarious hour-long standup special “Ben Gleib - Neurotic Gangster” which premiered on SHOWTIME is currently on AMAZON PRIME.   Gleib is also the first comedian to ever live stream a full headline set on Facebook Live, doing it in 8 straight cities on his 2016 tour, 100% improvised, getting almost 4 million views. His act is full of unique material, but he's also one of the best at crowd work, making it all up on the spot.   He hosted with Olivia Munn the “Telethon for America”. Gleib also created it, executive produced, and was head writer. It featured celebrities such as Natalie Portman, Charlize Theron, Chelsea Handler, Jane Fonda, Constance Wu, Amy Schumer, Jessica Alba, Judd Apatow, Hasan Minhaj, Adam Devine, Aisha Tyler, Pete Davidson, Ray Romano, Julia Louis Dreyfus, and over 80 others. It was the first telethon ever with the goal of raising zero dollars. Reinventing the telethon for the digital age, instead the non-partisan telethon took pledges to vote in 2018 midterms, aiming to create historic turnout, which was achieved!   Trying to offer an out-of-the-box option for the country, and seeing comedians win elections around the globe, he just concluded a run for President of the United States in the 2020 election, finishing after almost 8 months in the race, as the 15th highest fundraising active Democratic campaign. Despite this, he wasn’t able to qualify for the debates so the campaign ended. During the run he spoke at events alongside the front-runner candidates, campaigning in 13 states and territories including multiple trips to Iowa and New Hampshire, Puerto Rico on the 2-year anniversary of Hurricane Maria, was arrested protesting corruption at the capitol building in DC, joined immigration protests, LGBT parades, and stood proudly with the teachers on the picket line in Chicago. His campaign was covered by Larry King, the Des Moines Register, and countless others. Videos and information can be seen at Gleib2020.com   As an actor he just guest starred on “American Princess” an hour dramedy from Jenji Kohan (Orange is the New Black, GLOW.)   He was a regular on "The Today Show" with Kathie Lee and Hoda, with over 25 appearances, and you may have seen one of his appearances on "@Midnight with Chris Hardwick" on Comedy Central, or as a correspondent on ”The Arsenio Hall Show”.   He has toured sold-out arenas all over North America with both Chelsea Handler and Dane Cook, and has been headlining comedy clubs around the world since 2007. An accomplished voice over actor as well, Gleib is one of the stars of Kevin Smith's "Jay and Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie," is the voice of Marshall the Sloth in "Ice Age: Continental Drift," and voices Dali in "The Book of Life" starring Channing Tatum.   Esquire once called him one of “Six comedians who could be comedy’s next big thing.” The other five were Aziz Ansari, Patton Oswalt, David Cross, Demetri Martin, and Flight of the Conchords.

Since September of last year, I've interviewed 25 different guests about their biggest experiences.  This week, it's time I talk about one of mine--the accident.  In high school, I almost died in a serious car crash.  Helicopter life flight, emergency surgery, external fixator, weeks in the hospital, had to learn to walk again--the works.  This week in the show, I talk about it in detail.   In the episode, we cover:   The details of the car wreck. Rehab and recovery What the worst pain of the whole thing was Why I said i would never take pain meds again The emotional and psychological effects that trauma had years later What EMDR is, and my experience with it How my own experience led me to eventually do this show, Life Can Change In A Moment.   Reliving and sharing this story with you hasn't been easy.  Reopened some old wounds.  And going public about it has made me want to puke more than once this week.  But we talk about important stuff, and I feel compelled to bring it to you.

This week, I bring you the legend of Trek Kelly.  After running a successful marketing business and art gallery on Abbot Kinney, Trek decided to disappear.  Who does this? What does that mean? What was this crazy man thinking?   Trek's journey covers the following:   Live Your Bucket List Now: How Keeping Death Close Energizes Your Life The History of Abbot Kinney, Venice Beach, CA, and Why Trek Kelly Disappeared Why A Stranger Picked 12 Countries for Trek to Travel to     Animal instincts Return When You Live Alone in the Desert for A Year     What Is Scarier Than Death, No Toilet Paper Enjoy LB   Week's hashtags #Doctor #Host #Moments #Podcast #Show #Legend #Adventure #Life #Death #Thunder #TrekKelly     Show Notes ● [00:55] We have a great guest for you today, Trek “Thunder” Kelly, an adventure expert. As an artist, he learned early in his enjoyment in art is to live it. He lives his life in a way that is a story that’s interesting to him. So, he has something to look back, and he has chapters that laid out ahead of him as well. He recently wrote the ending of his life. He knows exactly where he is going to, and that gives him a lot of peace. ● [3:00] Trek knows where he is going to be and probably decides when he will die. Trek said that when it’s time, he is going to sit on a cliff while watching the sunset, smoke a doobie and put a blanket over him and just let it go. His parents traveled internationally as a kid. They didn’t take him, but certainly, he got curious about the world in the early ’20s and started travelling. He got out of college, moved to Venice beach, started working at a movie studio, and became an artist. At 39 he decided that he is going to disappear and told his friends and family that he’d be gone for 2 to 5 years. He sold nearly everything he owns and travelled the world. ● [5:00] He had a stranger choose twelve countries and spent a month in each country. Trek spent alone in the desert and then saw people twice a month when he gets supplies. But he wanted even more isolated, so he figured out his caloric needs and bought enough canned foods to sustain him for the rest of the year. He didn’t have a tent, a flashlight, or a fire. He lives out there for the rest of the year. For him, it was a gift to be able to do that, and in the third year, he bought an old van and drove around America. ● [7:36] One thing that Trek would recommend to people was to travel with inspiration or have meaning to you for a whole year. Because when you travel for a year or more, you interface with the world in a much more efficient and direct manner especially if you are alone. ● [9:33] Dr. Larry was wondering how these experiences changed him. Trek said that he becomes even more confident. The more world he sees, the more knowledge he gains. The more he understands the knowledge that he doesn’t have, and being older, he understands that life is coming at you pretty quickly. Americans keep death far away, but it’s important to keep death very close because death allows you to prioritize. It is not something to fear, it is something that energizes you to make the right decisions because we didn’t know when it would come. You should outline yourself like a bucket list and start knocking those off. ● [11:40] Trek believes in reincarnation because reincarnation doesn’t necessarily mean that there is life after our body dies. We can reincarnate in our lives many times. He lives three different lifetimes in those years. If you realize that change is constant, not only can we reincarnate in our own lives, but we can have power over what that reincarnation is. It can give us strength in decision making. ● [13:30] Trek graduated from UCLA. He wanted to do something fun. He applied to Columbia Pictures and got a job in the Marketing department. Working there for a year, he saw where the money was going and decided to create his own company. He left and started a promotional advertising company and immediately got orders from major studios. He makes a lot of money at that age without a lot of effort. Trek said that life has the confidence to do what you want to do and have to follow through. One day he bought a canvas and started painting and enjoyed it. He’s making enough money to have a gallery in Abbott Kinney, so he runs his advertising company out of the gallery. ● [15:40] At Abbott Kinney, he was one of several vendors that started the first Fridays around 2005. Back then, it was more focused on the stores, and they had all parties, and people could buy discounted things. For him, it was a perfect collision of creativity and the beach that California has to offer. ● [18:00] Trek said that change is going to happen. You can be flattened by it, or you can be part of it, so if there’s something you want to change, then you become part of that shift. For 16 years, he has had his company and art gallery. Dr. Larry asked him when did Trek get to the point that it was time to change it. Trek grew up on survival stories that his father told him as a kid, from Hugh Glass to Admiral Byrd. He also grew up reading Tarzan books that brought him the idea to be adventurous so he felt like he is done LA to the extent that he can. ● [20:36] The best thing to do when you decide is to announce it. Because you will be forced to be responsible for it when people start to believe it and you don’t want to let them down. Trek travels without contact with almost anybody for years. They didn’t know where he was. Dr. Larry thinks that the average person would want to get away but still want contacts of people close to them, so this is a very foreign idea for him, the disappearance part. ● [22:15] Trek said that there is stupidity in it, but there’s also a power in knowing that you are at the end of the line. If you are on the edge, you will be alert, aware, and alive. When you make it pass death a lot, it makes you feel strong and powerful. It makes you potentially risk your choices. Trek thinks that meaningful and driven travel is important. We, as humans, are meaning, driven creatures. We need to feel value, a direction, or a goal to feel more stable. ● [25:00] Trek decided to ask a stranger for the 12 countries he will travel to. So, he went to Jerusalem on the summer solstice. While in Old Jerusalem, no one looks at him until a beggar taps him on the back. He thought to himself that this was the stranger he would ask about the 12 countries. He has been to some of the chosen countries, but for him, when you make this choice, you can’t cheat. When you make this decision, you have to go through with it; otherwise, it taints everything else that you do. ● [27:11] Trek arranged the countries when he got back to the hotel room. The order of the countries was Bhutan, Papua New Guinea, Australia, Cambodia, Namibia, Mauritania, Germany, Finland, Brazil, Ecuador, El Salvador, and Haiti. After ordering the countries, he needs a reason why he is doing this, so he remembered the two keys on the ground while he was with the beggar. He decided to use keys as a totem. He will give a key to someone in each country that is meaningful for him or an amazing person in some way. ● [29:01] The two countries that the stranger didn’t choose that he wanted to go to were India and China. Trek flew to China and did the same thing in Jerusalem; he saw a kid that speaks in English. The kid leads him to an antique store, the kid chooses six keys of the Han dynasty. He went to India and asked an older man to choose six keys for him. The old man went to a store near Mother Theresa's tomb that has piles of keys. The old man spent three hours trying to find the six keys. Now he has 12 keys and a quest, so he bid goodbye to everyone on the internet, then he flew to Bhutan. ● [32:30] One of the other things Trek wanted to do was to find some people who don’t have long to live. He wants to make them a list of all the things that they want to do, and he was going to spend the next year living their dreams, and they will be connected on social media to send them videos and pictures. ● [34:46] Dr. Larry believes why Trek needs a year to spend on the desert. He said that when he was one of the mountains in Bhutan, he found an isolated house across them, and at the bottom, there was a town. His guide told him that a hermit lives up there for 15 years, and that challenge him to stay long in the desert. ● [37:25] Imagining the adventure of Trek. A lot of people would feel anxiety. It works for him because he loves meeting new people and being alone. He looks at the potential obstacles that he was going to deal with, whether it’s emotional, mental, or physical, and then anticipated it. That’s why he took a vow on silence in the desert. ● [39:00] Trek didn’t feel fear. That is probably another fault of his that would get him in trouble one day. But he has discretion more than fear. He thinks about what his options are when he is in dangerous situations. Travelling the world, he learned a lot of travel hacks and survival hacks. You can read about them, but the things that he thought that he learned were very different from the things that he experienced. ● [42:32] Once he knew that letting faith determine things worked, he went to the area of the desert. He started asking people of Navajo reservations if anybody had a Hogan. Trek was in Monument Valley of Southern Utah and Northern Arizona, a very desolate area in terms of population. He found a family that has a Hogan, he can live there, but they want him to take care of their sheep. ● [44:15] Trek took care of the flock of sheep and lived there. But he wanted more absolute isolation. That is why he figures out his caloric needs. When someone told him that there was a place out there that he could go, he found the place and one day he packed his stuff and went to the desert. Trek said that when you peel civilization away, you will realize how much your behavior is instinct. ● [46:47] Trek’s opinion about religion is that as anima

This week’s guest is Kim Wyman, a friend of mine, registered dietitian (RD) with a Masters in Public Health (MPH), who specializes in eating disorders.  Whose house burned down in the Woolsey Fires of LA in Nov 2018.  She’s been living in a van since, and hasn’t been happier.  This episode was soooooo good and inspiring.  Great stuff on healthy nutrition and getting deeper with eating disorders, and about loss and rebirth in the spiritual life.   In it, we cover the following:   -What Really Matters About Nutrition: Dietitian Cocktail Party Conversations -How We Use Food to Feel Better -Does Your Healthy Diet and Exercise Make Your Miserable?  How to Connect to Movement to Be Happier. -“Kim, why don’t you live in a van?” -Spiritually How to Experience A Life Changing Moment -How Kim Grieved When Her House Burned Down in the Fires #Doctor #Host #Moments #Podcast #Show #VanLife #Fires #NaturalDisasters  #Dietitian #MPH #Nutrition #Spiritual #Connection  #EatingDisorders #Anorexia #Wellness #Happiness #Healthy   Show Notes ● [1:07] We have a great guest for you today, Kim Wyman, a dietitian and has a Master's in Public Health. ● When Kim was finishing college, she was interested in preventive medicine. Someone told her that it is not the way to go to the MD route and told her to explore public health. She showed up for graduate school on the doctor's course towards public health, and she picks nutrition as her major. ● [3:22] When you are in public health, you can do women's and children's health. Nutrition is a specialty, so she chose it. When Kim tells people that she is a dietitian, they tend to ask about their diets. They asked about Keto and intermittent fasting. She honestly said to us that it is a boring conversation for her because what matters is we know about nutrition or Keto diet. Still, it is the applied action and relationship to how we meet our needs that matters. ● [5:00] If you have a breakdown and how your ability to meet your needs, like you say you don't deserve, then you're going to have a hard time in grading care. How you feed yourself is the direct basic need and immediate action of care. Disorders around food are usually disorder of self. ● [7:00] In the late '90s, most of her clients were gays with HIV who had lost partners or friends. Dealing with loss and trauma, Kim thought that she's going to specialize in HIV. What happens with eating disorders primarily is that food becomes a way to regulate disruptions or emotions to make them feel better. ● [9:46] Kim said that the menu could adjust things. If you look at someone with anorexia, they're usually talented, very functional, or they might be the envy of everybody else in the room. Still, behind the scenes, they're driving themself almost to death with how they are strict about the food or walking twelve hours at night. They go to regulate a need, and it's kind of starting to take over. It could start with someone just going on a diet and if that temperament is there, it could end badly. ● [11:08]Kim said that sometimes diet conversations could be a little tricky because sometimes the information could be bad for them. You don't know all the time who that person is or what they're dealing with that's why it's an emotional peace and you have to understand them and their needs. ● [14:11] Dr. Larry asks Kim how do we reconcile meeting our needs and enjoying foods with obesity and all of the medical problems that come with all of this. Kim said that in our medical culture, they don't have time to explore the life of an obese person. They look at the labs, weight and tell them to reduce their food. It seems an easy fix on the surface but if you're looking at the environment, the stress level of that person, there are so many things that contribute to specifically diabetes and heart disease. ● [16:46] When someone comes to Kim and wants to lose weight, there is a typical approach that she would take but she has to be really careful of what else is happening to them. Kim honestly told us that if she works with an actor who needs to get ready for a role, it's just business. Their body is their business. Kim had worked with one actor that was suffering from an eating disorder, but there's a string edge, and she couldn't help because of the pressure that was going on. ● [19:00] There's a way to be in a relationship with having permission to have satisfaction and to feel a connection to the food you are eating. There is a real basic truth that the more from the “ground, cared” food is going to be better in our system than something that is highly processed. The intention is not to care, the intention is mass production and profiting. ● [21:43] Cooking a meal and having the time to do that and nurturing yourself and having that relationship fundamentally will experience different in the body than running in your car, eating a burger on the way to somewhere else. Taking the time and letting your body be nourished, allowing something to be honored and appreciated, that's a different reflection towards self. Feeling good is an indicator that you haven't stressed yourself, so overeating doesn't feel good. You have to disconnect in your natural body state and feel bad. ● [23:20] Slowing down while eating or preparing the food, you'll stay connected to the experience. There's so much disconnection from everything in our culture. That relationship to care is an intimate relationship to self. There is so much disconnection that we don't internally feel what we're doing, and it translates to movements too. Kim said that nobody in the blue zones that exercise extremely. Movement is really necessary and being active is also necessary but how we do it is also important. ● [25:44] If Kim misses yoga, she doesn't feel the natural elasticity of her body, so movement is necessary to feel good. You can also go to the gym and be on a diet and look great. It's not a matter if you can't do it and be healthy, but are you happy? ● [27:25] Talking about people who don't exercise, Dr. Larry remembered Bill Barata, a ninety-eight years old farmer who is a farmer and never exercised before. Kim explains the Maslow's hierarchy, a pyramid and on the bottom is basic needs. You can't get to the next level until you meet your basic needs, and on the top is self-actualization. ● [29:03] Self-actualization is when you're in the flow. We can't multitask very well, but when you're in the flow of something, you almost lose time. Being a farmer like Bill doing his task and that probably the antidote to stress because you're activating all connections to self. Stress distracts from our connection to ourselves and distract your ability to be in the flow. ● [31:45] Kim has many different moments in her life but the most dramatic one was when her house got burned down by the Woolsey fire. At that moment, she was possession less and homeless. She got out with her dog and a little go bag because she thought that she's going back when they have to evacuate. ● [33:00] The wind is something wicked on that day. In California, it's not just a breezy day. Its gale force 70 mph to 80 mph winds that would be qualified for a firestorm. She knows a person that works with search and rescue that called to inform her that there was a fire, but it's 20 to 30 miles away from them. He told Kim to pack a bag just in case they have to evacuate. ● [35:00] Kim's twin sister called her to know if she's going to be okay. Her sister is more anxious than she was and told her that she's not going to sleep if she doesn't leave. Kim went to her friend's house to evacuate; at that night they were focused on the news. When she woke up, she got a call from one of her colleagues at work and found out that the fire was getting close to her place, and she still thought that the fire wouldn't get to her house. ● [37:00] When she saw on channel two that her house was on fire, that's when she finally drops. Five hours after that, her friend snuck back in and called her that their whole street was gone. Her house was gone and her place of business was also affected so they were shut down. ● {39:00] Luckily, there are places for her to land, so many people don't have anywhere to go. When she went on their family trip to Kauai, Kim was thinking of her mortgage and trying to find rent in L.A. She still needs to pay the mortgage even if her house got burned down. It was really hard for her because of how much attachment she had on her space. She's trying to find something that would fit too, but it wasn't coming through. ● [41:00] When Kim was in Kauai, her sister asked if she could live in the van and then showed her a couple living in a cute van. Kim said that she can live in that van. She emailed the couple and told her story but it will take a long time to finish the van. Luckily, the very van that her sister showed was offered to her. She buys the van, quit her job and hit the road. ● [43:08] Kim got a referral and has clients all over the west coast and Canada all year and totally changed her life. She travels, climbs mountains and minimizes everything in her life. She's gone from worrying about a lot of corporate stuff or the renovation of her house, and now she's not thinking any of it. ● [45:32] Kim thinks when there is a life-changing moment, it is how you choose to experience it. You can get stuck in the perception of loss and how it happened to you versus how it happened for you. Kim said that loss is just a massive spiritual game- changer if you want to be available to know how to receive it. ● [47:00] Kim has an accessibility to do things that she loves like cooking from the road, finding little places along the way. Places that people still have connection to the food. She has some crazy experiences, connecting to our culture and also finding the variances of it and being able to feel more intimate connection to people, places and food. ● [49:00] It is sad for Kim to lose all those little things that would connect

I met TK Nguyen at CHS earlier this year, and was inspired by how he went from owning his own pharmacy, and dispensing too many pain pills (opiate crisis) to developing his own pain cream to help people get off pain pills.  I invited him on the show to tell his story, and moment. And this episode is not without some excitement (his pharmacy was raided by the DEA), some agreements (the overuse of opiates for chronic pain and needed alternatives), some disagreements (energy healing and placebos versus pseudoscience) and   In this episode we cover: Why TK quit corporate pharmacy, how he felt compromised managing corporate pharmacy. What smart business practices he did to build his own pharmacy from the ground up How multiple DEA raids and opiate crisis politics ended his pharmacy How his wife’s temporary paralysis inspired his pain cream (and my MD explanation of what happened) Possible medical explanations of paralysis, including discussion of psych causes (conversion disorder), complicated migraines, Todd’s paralysis (temporary paralysis after a seizure), spnial cord transection. Mind body, the placebo effect, energy medicine, pseudoscience and relief of pain Fight or flight cycle, stored traumatic memory, 

I met Carina through Trek (a legend you will meet in a few weeks closer to the end of Season 1 of the show), and he said you’ve got to have her on the show.  He was right. Born in St Croix, Virgin Islands, the youngest of 9 children, she’s a Children’s Book Author and into tech, and works with sustainable Christmas Trees. So what is the process of kidney donation?  What did Carina have to do once she decided to get checked.  First, she had to be evaluated to be a match, which involved first basic blood typing (A positive, B negative), and then additional antigen “matches.”  Then she had a psychological evaluation, which, someone has to be competent, able to freely make this decision of sound mind, not mentally ill. And also, I imagine stable enough to handle surgery and the loss of a kidney, understand the risks, etc.  Then further testing of her own medical conditions. You wouldn’t want to transplant a kidney from someone with cancer, HIV, Hepatitis C, etc or you would be giving the recipient a new disease. She was scanned, I assume to rule out cancer. She spoke of having a reaction to contrast that is injected in the IV, the contrast helps the radiologist to see organs light up better, and mild reactions are common and not a big deal.  After appropriate psychological and medical testing, including matching, the surgery is scheduled.  

I was honored for Dr KellyAnn Petrucci ND to join us (you and me) on the show this week.  She’s a big deal. On Dr Oz all the time, PBS, she’s written 9 NY Times Best Sellers, founded the bone broth movement--very successful as a doctor (Naturopath) who has gone public.  She comes on the show to talk about her new book Cleans and Reset.   I met KellyAnn at Michael Fishman’s CHS in Spring of 2019, we were sat next to each other at a dinner randomly, and hit it off instantly, becoming good friends.  She’s got an energy about her. And is mesmerizingly charismatic--consider yourself warned.   But I was a little uneasy about this episode because frankly--I don’t believe in bone broth and cleanses.  And detoxes. And toxins. And she’s big into that. Am I going to be able to keep it together, have a respectful conversation with someone I disagree with?  Or is it all just going to go straight to hell, and I lose a friend? You’ll have to tune in tomorrow and see how it went. We also discuss:   *How success and being a workaholic led to her own burnout and health issues. *What underlies and drives so many of us professional achievers (self worth, and sometimes, lackthereof) * Did KellyAnn have imposter syndrome * How you health is affected by relationships, success, self love, self worth * Did she convince me about bone broth and her new cleanse? * How we numb ourselves (with work, alcohol, sex) to cope with unhappiness and underlying difficult emotions     Guest Bio: Dr. Kellyann Petrucci came to realize the ancient power of collagen and bone broth to heal the gut and slow aging while studying biological medicine at the Marion Foundation and Paracelsus Clinic, Switzerland. By focusing her practice on a lifestyle that stops and reverses inflammation, Dr. Kellyann is able to help patients and readers reduce dangerous belly fat to become slimmer, younger, and healthier   Show Notes ● [1:20] We got an incredible guest for today, Dr. KellyAnn Petrucci, the creator, and founder of Bone Broth Movement. KellyAnn was so proud because after her show hit PBS, we can see Bone Broth companies over the country because she knows how it transforms and helps people’s lives. She was grateful for that opportunity. She also wrote a book called "Bone Broth Diet". ● [3:35] Dr. Larry and Dr. KellyAnn knew each other from CHS. KellyAnn was always open and sharing stories with Dr. Larry. ● Dr. KellyAnn's life-changing moments happened on a flight from L.A. back to New York. A change of events leads Dr. KellyAnn telling a passenger next to her that she was about to pass out. The next thing she remembers, she was at the back of the plane with a bunch of airline staff putting ice around her head and neck. ● [5:01] She always taught people to stay connected to their mind, body, and spirit, yet here she was in a situation where she's ill. There was a physician that came on board that cared for her the whole flight and told her that she was burnout and if she won't do anything about it, it's going to be bad. ● She is a doctor that studied in New York. She studied European Medicine at Swiss Paracelsus Clinic in Switzerland. Dr. Thomas Rau, who is a world-renowned physician, taught her almost everything. She knows about really caring for patients, allowing the body to heal itself. He taught her not to be afraid of the body’s power to heal itself, yet she pass-out in a plane. ● [7:00] Dr. KellyAnn wants to tell everyone that we can't allow our self to disconnect with our body. We do that because we take care of everything and everyone. She said that we have a power within us. We can leak that power, but if you allow yourselves to constantly leaking this power, we drain. Dr. KellyAnn wants to stop all who are watching to take a moment and ask ourselves if we are connected to our mind and body. ● [9:01] This energy is vast and powerful. We have to learn how to harness it and what to do about it. We do that by awareness. It is by being aware of the simple things that we may not think about. Things like the people around us. We have to be very careful of the people we allow into our orbit. We have to allow different orbit around us. There is a group that we trust beyond all measure, and there was a group that is acquaintances. There is that group that we have to keep our eyes on. And there are people that we don't allow into our orbit. To mature in life, we have to know which orbit to put each person you meet, because what we don't want is that continual, residual drain. ● [12:00] success for her now is different than it was two years ago when the plane incident happened. Two years ago, she was not in peace. She is always looking at the next step. She lacked love for herself. We are born with that and overtime when we have experiences that sometimes others taught trust upon us, and we don't get rid of those thoughts. Now when she has a thought and knows that it doesn't serve her greater good and those around her, she will cancel it immediately and this little thing will keep her from burnout ever again. ● [15:00] Dr. KellyAnn talks about how alcohol affects her clarity and height awareness. She cut out alcohol about six months ago. KellyAnn thought that she was not going to drink because she wants to see what other things that keep her where she doesn't want to be. She realizes that alcohol is one of them, so she let that go and all of a sudden, she realizes that she was getting more clear and a sense of clarity. ● [18:00] With success, we got a lot of opportunities. We have to be aware of the things we are saying yes all the time. That's the whole thing with alcohol when you pop a cork a lot more the next thing you know you are in different events and resorts that are slowly draining your energy. There was an adage that "saying no is as powerful as saying yes". In KellyAnn's instance, that was true. She was doing a lot of running around, she's doing too much, and it got her, and now she is making sure that it will not happen again. ● [20:00] Being a public person is not KellyAnn's focus, her focus is always learning and understanding how the body works and what she can do to enhance all that happens in the body in the best way. So she started seeing patients. Dr. KellyAnn studied ancestral medicine to know what is best for our DNA. That's when she came up with the idea of Bone Broth. ● [22:45] Dr. KellyAnn combines Bone Broth with intermittent fasting, and that's where the magic happens for a lot of people particularly a lot of women who were struggling so hard to lose weight and couldn't do it. She put people in a program where they have bone broth during the day, a couple's day a week and just one meal at night. They were very comfortable. They didn't have the cravings, crashes, and they didn't feel weak or deprived. ● [26:00] Dr. Larry asks KellyAnn if the bone broth is plausible. She said that it has minerals and a great form of protein. It is an anti-inflammatory food. It warms people down to the soul, but if it is plausible she didn't care, the bottom line is, it gets results and transform people to the greater good. A lot of people use a powdered broth but KellyAnn prefers the liquid for her. ● [29:00] Dr. Larry asks her why is the incident in the plane cause KellyAnn to write her book. It was a hard time for her; then she realizes that she needs to change and help others. She thinks she was numb and viciously unhappy. Since then, she does a lot of work to train her mind so it will not happen again. ● [31:18] Dr. KellyAnn said that we numb ourselves in many different ways. Work is one of them, sometimes its alcohol. Sometimes it is gambling or sex. There are a million ways that we develop addictive personalities to deflect. She thinks she is deflecting a lot of things that are going on internally with her life. We can't bury things and we have to face them because these emotions are tearing our bodies. ● [34:23] Life and success are interesting because when you first achieved success, everybody wants to help you. You will get to a certain place that they want to destroy you. Dr. KellyAnn found herself in a situation where she doesn't feel that the people around her were well-intended; this can only happen when you don't have the self-worth that you have. The most important thing in life is to know your worth. ● [36:00] If things going on in your personal life and you don't have a tight shift, it is tough to go out to the world and feel that safety or feel that nurturing. We can't ignore it, and we have to clean up. A lot of people that you see even in work have negative forces around them that can take you down. ● [38:15] Dr. Larry shows Dr. KellyAnn's book called "Cleanse and Reset". Dr. KellyAnn revolutionizes the idea of cleansing. For Dr. Larry, it is an idea to quick-fix things like obesity. ● [41:35] Dr. KellyAnn said that the process of transformation is becoming aware. These little tips and programs and the personal story in the book that you can live through and learn from. She wants to be an example for them. This is not following every step; people want to know what to do, so KellyAnn gave them what to do. ● [43:00] There are many people who crash their diet and get back again to the first step. That is why Dr. KellyAnn's program is consists of real food that we can have in our diet or put in our eating every day.

This week on the show, I'd like to introduce to you Rachael Markarian, dancer, actor, master teacher (full bio below).

She had great energy and passion, and a message to share, so I'm excited to bring her to you this week. Episode drops Tuesday on Apple Podcasts and my Youtube channel, follow the link in the bio. (Insert bio). #Doctor #Host #Moments #Podcast #Show #Dancer #Master #Actor #Rejection #Success #Audition ​ ​ Originally from Boston, Rachael resides in Los Angeles with a versatile and successful career in the Entertainment Industry. Rachael was introduced to the arts at a young age, taking up dance to correct an innate handicap she had with her legs. After falling in love with it, she attended a Performing Arts High School immersing herself in dance, theatre and music. As a teenager, Rachael trained at some of the most prestigious schools in New York City, solidifying her dream to pursue a career in Entertainment. She then attended Oklahoma City University as a Theatre & Dance Performance Major. Since moving to Los Angeles, Rachael has been in over 30 Films, TV Shows & Commercials, ranging from Co-Stars, to Guest Stars, Recurring, Supporting and Lead roles. Some of her Film & TV credits include Top Gun: Maverick, The Morning Show, Dollface, Legion, Glee, True Blood, Rush Hour 3, Gilmore Girls Revival, Mascots, How I Met Your Mother, CSI, Dr. Ken, No Strings Attached, Microsoft, Target, Chevy, Farmer's Insurance, H&M and many more. ​ . She's the proud owner of the In-Studio Intensive, The Dancer's Edge As a well-respected Master Teacher who travels both domestically and internationally, Rachael is passionate about sharing her love for dance and educating young artists about the importance of a healthy mindset in preparation for the Entertainment Industry. She hopes to encourage others to pursue their dreams and feel empowered by their ability to do so.   Show Notes [1:10] We have a wonderful guest for today, Rachel Markarian, an actress, dancer, and Master teacher. Master Teacher is somebody who had a very lucrative or versatile career as a dancer that works in multiple areas and is now sharing the knowledge and that passion to other generation. Rachel is now teaching for 6 or 7 years. She has a convention that is like studios from all across the world and has 200 children in her classes. [2:15] The convention Rachel teaches was called “Energy Dance Project”. They are in the 10th season this coming 2020. This will be Rachel’s 2nd full year with them. They teach the kids what is a professional dance world looks like, and they compete for awards, scholarship money, and all the stuff in their studios. [4:17] Rachel is one of the 15 Master teachers on her convention. Rachel can teach the children lyrical dance, jazz or hill class. She is very versatile, she is not the kind of teacher who teaches specific dance type. Rachel said that dance is so subjective and it’s great for younger dancers to be exposed to Master Teachers because everybody has a different perspective and different style. The more they can expose themselves to that, the better and stronger they’re going to be as an artist and as a human being because they teach beyond steps and choreography. In Rachel’s class, she teaches a deeper understanding in what they are doing. [7:14] Rachel is from Boston, she studied at Oklahoma. During her semester off, she goes to LA to train and tries to audition and work. Oklahoma City had a really good musical theater department so she was able to do her acting, her music, and dancing. She went to a performing arts high school so it’s like a perfect fit for her and she like the slow-paced. [9:00] In between of her summer, off Rachel lost her father. She was 18, so that put everything in perspective and she thinks what she’s going to be and what she will be doing so she decided to move to LA. For nine months, it was a huge struggle for her. She worked hard to save for money before going to LA but it wasn’t enough and she wants to only work on her industry. In 9 months of auditioning and hoping her money would last, she had only $6.86 on her bank account and her rent was due and there was an audition for a tour. There were like 400 girls at the audition and they only needed two and thankfully, Rachel and her roommate were chosen out of the 400 girls. That was the moment were Rachel’s career change.  [12:31] Most of her 20’s was all direct booking which is the choreographer. The director calls her agency and asks her if she’s available. Rachel thinks that it is good because if you can work with a handful of choreographer you worked with multiple times, that’s all you need to constantly work because if they work all the time and they trust you and you deliver for them and you are right for the job, they will keep asking for you to come back. [14:00] Rachel said that if your work is defining you and you are not getting the result that you want at work, that’s a really dangerous road to go down especially if you love what you do. So if you are not going to do that anymore, it’s heartbreaking. It is a hard balance but it is important because you will lose yourself or you will be discouraged and you’ll quit. Rachel was very naive, the idea of not working out for her never cross her mind. She said that this is what she trained for her whole life. This is the only thing she wants to do therefore she is going to be successful. However, she did not think what it is going to look like but she will do everything she can do to make her dreams become a reality. [17:00] She said that mentality is very important; it is not being conceded. It is not thinking that you are better than them; it knows what you will bring to the table. In an audition, Rachel will do her best she can. If she is right for it, she’s hopefully booked for it, and if she doesn’t, it’s either she fell short in some way or it wasn’t the right type. She can’t control types that they are wanting but she can’t change her height, her hair or ethnicity so having an understanding of your self, your worth and knowing not to take it personally is truly half of what this is about. [20:02] A lot of older dancer used to tell Rachel that rejection is protection. That God is protecting her from that job, or that experience or rejection is a redirection. That she is supposed to be available for something else. Especially now that she is an actress, rejection is on a much deeper level than dancing. [22:00] Dr. Larry shares his experience in medical school acceptance. It is like the worst thing ever for him, but the difference is once you get in, that’s it. There’s other stuff, but its not a continual audition every week or month. Imagine going into a job interview multiple times a week. That’s what Rachel career for all these years. Rachel is very thankful that she had a nice career when she was a dancer but when she was transitioning out of dancing and her passion is shifting into acting, she was not getting results the same way when she was a dancer. [24:00] She needs to start from the ground at 30 years old when all this other actress had been building their resumes since they were 16. In times when Rachel is questioning herself, thankfully she had a coach that told her not to allow anybody to dictate her path. You decide what your heart sings for. Then she thought that this is the road and she will saddle up and go. She goes out with nature, changed her environment, writes her journal, understands that life is bigger than this and she is still doing it. This is why she tried to instill this when she was teaching. [27:37] Rachel remembers in the 400-girl audition that she felt confident and that she also felt the pressure because she needs to pay her bills. If she didn’t get this job, she would probably try to get a side job at a studio teaching or something. Rachel was used to being one of many auditioning for something so when she is going for an audition, she was focus on remembering the choreography and the thing that will make her stand out. That moment you will grab the client’s attention. [29:41] Rachel always tells her students that the first 4 to 8 counts of their audition is the most important because it’s when casting or the directors are going to decide on whether or not to watch you. You don’t overdramatize something, but there is the little thing that you can deal and a lot of it has to deal with eye contact and confidence. Rachel said that it’s simple just to make them uncomfortable but there is a sense of essence that comes over you with true confidence like “I have something that you want”. [32:50] The 400-girl audition was for the tour with a Latin artist name Chayanne. He was like the Michael Jackson of the Latin world. Dr. Larry remembers one of Chayanne's song was “Torero,” and Rachel was one of the dancers. She works with Chayanne for two years. All of Rachel’s tour was mostly in South America and in Europe. They spend a lot of time in Spain. Rachel loves to travel but after her third tour, she stops. [35:10] Doctor Larry and Rachel talk about anorexia and body issues in dancing. Rachel has a company and they travel a lot of studios around the world and she always does a Q and A with parents and teachers. She often gets a parent asking about the weight. She said that they have to feel healthy and also they have to take care of their bodies in a healthy way. They have to eat nutritious food and work out so that when they dance, they will not get injured. [37:29] Rachel struggles in college because their grade was dependent on their weight. If they didn’t hit the number on a scale, they would lose their scholarship or their grade was affected. Their reasoning is they have to be fit and when they get into the professional world, they can’t be overweight but the downside of that is when Rachel saw that they are not qualifi

Ever had a moment when you learn something or have an epiphany, and if you would have learned it a decade ago, it would have saved you so much pain?  This week, Bethany relates the moment that she was doing an exercise in eye contact and was learning how to trust herself and her intuition by connecting to her body.  What pain in life would it have saved her, had she had this realization before?  Listen to her moment and more, as her episode of "Life Can Change In a Moment" is live today on Apple Podcasts and my Youtube Channel.   Bethany is all about Body Intelligence and teaching how to achieve results through listening to the conversations of the body. She's an advocate for her clients, always putting them first and co-creating the change necessary to support a shift towards their highest and best. She's been internationally recognized and interviewed for her products and articles gone viral on MindBodyGreen, ThriveGlobal, YogaJounal, talks at Businesses & Universities such as University of Southern California, has a best seller, and another book on the way. Bethany's certifications include Transformational Workshop Facilitator and ThetaHealing(r). She has also studied multiple change modalities such as EmotionCode, BodyCode, HumanDesign, NLP, Reiki, FengShui, along with what comes to her naturally. Whether it's one on one or a group talk, Bethany aligns you to your truth and core allowing for infinite possibilities to unfold. Show Notes [1:00] Our Guest for today is Bethany Londyn, an alignment Catalyst. We are going to talk about her book. A catalyst is one who ignites passion, whether it was for business or relationship. It's about creating passion and finding purpose, but also there is an alignment for our goals, and its process is in Bethany's book. [3:45] Some of its processes are listening to our bodies and finding out what is the alignment because some goals are way too high and it's not we can't have them, but we have some shift and tweak to it.  Through the book, Bethany is teaching us to know what is our yes, what is our truth and what is our no. Doctor Larry remembered it at Bethany's book launch. Dr. Larry's no is on his lower part of his body, and he feels like he is rooted like planted on the ground holding his space like NO! And his YES are different. It's a little higher, somewhere open, it's like it's in his upper body. [5:40] Doctor Larry demonstrates how to feel the NO in our body with the help of Bethany. Doctor Larry feels something in front of him. Bethany said that NO feels heavy and constricted. Bethany took two years to understand her YES and NO through her body. Her left side will clinch for a NO, and on her right side, it will clinch for a YES. [7:50] Bethany said that we can do this in our home while standing and saying yes and no we might feel our body lean to the right, lean to the right, lean forward, lean back. A lot of people lean forward for a yes and backward for a no, so our body is always talking to us. Bethany tells a story of her business manager that has a million-dollar opportunity meeting and everything on her manager's head wanted to say yes. Still, his body feels nauseous, it was giving signs of no, and he said no to the great opportunity and thought that he was an idiot, but three days later he got a.call for another business deal that even grander, better company and it was a yes. [10:00] Doctor Larry thinks that its important to recognize that our mind has its own agenda, the way it works and our guts have one too and we put them together and listen to them. Bethany said she had health issues when she had the awakening. She realizes that the start-up that she was working on cause her health issues. When she went to the doctor at the age of 30, she found out that she couldn't have kids. After doing a silent workshop where she got align with her body, she realizes that when she starts working at the company all she feels is heat that she was not paying attention to, and that was a no. [12:27] Doctor Larry asks Bethany how she ends up numb at 30. Bethany said that her divorce is a part of it because she was a compartmentalizer. Bethany was raised hardcore Catholic and thinks that a lot of statements she makes even in the service are taking her power away. There were things in the Catholic religion that she loves but also there are things that she doesn't. She thinks that there is a lot of guilt and a lot of shame and judgment. [14:00] Bethany's life coach help her realize that she was not paying attention to her body. Her coach made her listen to yoga nidra, and that helps her to pay attention to every point of her body which she was not aware of. That's why for Bethany, it was so powerful because so many people are not getting information from their bodies. [16:37] Bethany was very good at metaphors, instead of saying that she was not comfortable working at her computer she will say that she was walking through lava. Doctor Larry literally imagined burning lava that's where Bethany explains how our minds will make something up out of something, so it's easy to pay attention to our body to get a yes and a no. [18:30] Bethany's moment that was related to her book was when she was participating in an activity involving eye contact. She realizes that's if she has done this exercise, she will not marry her ex-husband. Bethany tells a story when her ex-husband walks by her, and when her ex-husband put his arm on her back, she cringes. If she listened to her body at that time, it was a 100% no.  [21:25] Because of the eye contact activity that Bethany participated in, she realizes that her feelings towards the yes or no of our body are true. That's why it took her two years to figure out the concrete of yes or no because of the trust that this was legit. [23:50] In an interview or meeting somebody for the first time, it takes 0.9 seconds to develop a response. At that moment, our brain filtering all of our information to create a different reaction than the first initial reaction. When Bethany visits highschool, she told the students that she wouldn't say to a thing and wants them to tell her what's her personality and what she's doing and everything they said was true even work stuff. [28:50] Bethany's other intuition experience is when she was on real state start-ups, she doesn't know what's her first response was but she know that she had a lot of excitement with it similar to her ex-husband so a lot of times, excitement can be overridden and if it's like covering something up, so it's important to get grounding to meditate and to feel through into the excitement.  [30:58] Bethany talks about her experience when she goes to a talk by Eddie Lucas and what about he describes a tree is one of Bethany's healing practices that she does with people. He talks about the light coming through branches into our body in grounding us and it sinks it to the earth which ground us every single day, every step that we take we are supported by this earth that we walk on. [34:00] Doctor Larry has another view of grounding concerning diabetic people, they can't feel because of neuropathy, but they can check their feet so that they can become aware of what is going on to their body. Doctor Larry is worried because there are so many people are not listening to their bodies. [36:45] Bethany said that for diabetic people that can't feel their feet, she's sure that they still need signals, it could be to the right, left at the back or forward because it was very small movements because at first Bethany won't believe she was feeling it and it hit her. [39:14] Doctor Larry shows the art piece that Bethany brought. Doctor Larry said that if there is an artist on our guest, they can bring their art piece and tell us about it. Bethany started arts when she was 20, and she loves it, and it brings her so much joy. She explains that her work is always grounded with a theme and intention. And when her art bought by the client, then they are bringing the energy with them and placing it on their home or business. The piece that Bethany brought was called "Let there be light", we can check her art at londonsart.com. [42:10] Doctor Larry shows Bethany's book called "Get Aligned Now". The art behind the book was digitally painted by Bethany herself. She had no idea until someone pointed out that her cover is very similar to "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle and they both have now on the title. [45:12] Doctor Larry and Bethany do an excerpt from the book. It says, "notice your energy levels after fueling your body with stillness". Bethany said that stillness is in different ways, it could be with the tree, it could be while painting or dancing but at the end of the day the stillness is in our minds so that we can listen to the rest of our body. [48:00] Page 23 of the book "In your current life is there's a situation that makes you feel icky inside." Doctor Larry remembers his sister used to say that when it's not the right person, you will feel the ick.
