https://simplecast.com Life is a Ride---Overcoming Huge Challenges in Unconventional Ways “One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small. And the ones that mother gives you, don’t do anything at all…” - Jefferson Airplane Americans consume around 25 percent of the world’s prescription pharmaceutical drugs, while comprising only about five percent of the world’s population. And it’s not like we have good outcomes resulting from this. The health of the American populace sits quite low in the rankings of industrialized nations, as does our health care system (especially for the amount of dollars we pay for it.) Americans have largely forgotten about eating healthy, moving our bodies, and getting outside for some fresh air. We’ve become a sedentary society, relying on fast and/or processed foods, and those pesky pharmaceutical drugs…most of which only treat symptoms and not underlying problems. We seem to have also forgotten – or perhaps not have even known – that the best medicine is actually prevention. And that sometimes the best treatments are NOT pharmaceutical drugs. My podcast, “Life is a Ride: Overcoming Huge Challenges in Unconventional Ways” takes off from my own health journey of overcoming and thriving for over six and a half years after a devastating diagnosis of third stage pancreatic cancer. I didn’t just do it by listening to my doctor, taking drugs and sitting back and waiting for results. In fact, had I continued to listen to my first oncologist and been a passive observer of my health, I wouldn’t be here writing this today. I was willing to get active, get healthy, and take charge of my situation. I was and am the CEO of my health. Please join me in my podcast journey as I interview others who have overcome life’s challenges in similar, unconventional ways. Their stories are heartwarming, inspirational, and life-affirming. I will also be interviewing teachers, coaches, health professionals and consultants who offer "unconventional" options for those who are looking to overcome challenging obstacles. More about Chris: Chris Joseph is an odds-defying, stage-three pancreatic cancer survivor and thriver since 2016, as described in his best-selling 2020 book "Life is a Ride: My Unconventional Journey of Cancer Recovery." He is also a co-curator and contributing author to "The Epiphanies Project: Twenty Personal Revelations." Both books are available as paperbacks or e-books, and can be found online wherever you buy your books. Over the last 35 years, Chris has started and managed three environmental consulting businesses, launched two fan-funded music record companies and founded a non-profit charitable foundation. He's also dabbled in philanthropy, songwriting, and magazine writing. Chris' other podcasts include Talking Threadheads, Dodger Dugout Dopes, The Epiphanies Project, Nine Lives: A Musical Story of New Orleans, and Oy Vey L.A. ***This podcast is not intended as a substitute for health, wellness, or medical advice.

Marji Keith wears a few hats - she's a Cancer Terrain Advocate, positive psychology coach (ICF-certified), and health coach who focuses on the metabolic approach to cancer. After beating cancer herself over eight years ago, she helps people flip the script from just managing disease to actually building real wellness - creating a body where cancer and other lifestyle diseases just can't thrive.

 

Her background is pretty cool - she's lived all over the world and used her own healing journey to develop ways to guide others through major lifestyle changes. She brings clarity, compassion, and science-backed strategies to the table.

 

When she's not helping others, you'll find her enjoying her almost-empty nest as a mom, catching waves windsurfing, hitting the pickleball court, exploring new places, or running her Airbnb in the Dutch Caribbean. For Marji, it's all about mixing purpose with a good dose of fun.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Chris Joseph is a dad, environmental consultant, cancer patient advocate, best selling author, thought leader, public speaker, and founder of two music record companies and a complementary 501(c)(3) non-profit helping New Orleans artists and musicians. He's also a television producer, hobbyist songwriter, podcaster, and a lover of all things outdoors. Over the decades, Chris has served as a board of director for numerous non-profit organizations, and is currently a national board member of NatureBridge.

Chris’s first book was the best seller “Life is a Ride: My Unconventional Journey of Cancer Recovery” (2020). He then co-authored "The Epiphanies Project" and is currently finalizing his third book, “The Kitchen Sink Approach to Cancer (And Why You SHOULDN'T Always Listen to Your Doctor)”.

In her words:

"My hope by speaking my story is that first it gives other women the courage to speak their stories. Women have been silenced for so long and on so many levels. From my experience, speaking our truths in a safe container can be extremely healing. Many women don’t know they are in domestic violence because it’s not physical. Most of domestic violence is not physical. It’s emotional, verbal, mental, sexual, financial. The foundation of domestic violence is coercive control. So, if someone is controlling how you show up and what you do in your everyday life- this is abuse. I hope by speaking my story, women who are in it and people who suspect a family member, friend, or colleague may be in abuse, recognize the signs.

Second, violence against women is real. One third of women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime, 98 percent don’t report. 50,000 women and girls are murdered every year by a partner or family member. I speak my story to bring light to what is happening in many homes.

Third, as Iyanla Vanzant says, “America is an abused woman.” The personal is the political. Many of the same tactics that domestic violence abusers use are the same tactics of certain people who hold positions of power.

Lastly, there is life after domestic violence. Take in the small moments, find moments of joy and happiness. Community is important. Find people who share your core values. Since I escaped, these last two and half years has been a hard journey and yet rewarding. For me, reclaiming my power has been to show up, speak out, and follow my own heart."

 

Catherine Kennedy (who also goes by Cat) is an Integrative Healing Practitioner. Her work is body and somatic oriented, which includes yoga therapy, internal family systems, and energy work. She has also written an oped for Nola.com and other online publications. She has a weekly blog on sub stack called, "I Get To," which talks about her experience in domestic violence in what was taken and what she gets do now. Originally from Biloxi, Mississippi, Catherine has embraced the opportunities to live in diverse cities such as San Diego, Los Angeles, Santa Fe, and New Orleans. In addition to holding multiple certifications in her areas of expertise, she has earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology. In her leisure time, Cat enjoys reading, writing, yoga, singing, dancing to music, self-defense training, plant-based baking, exploring nature, and going on international travel adventures.

Jim is also the co-author of the new book:

 

Surely You Can't Be Serious: The True Story of Airplane!

 

While we touch a bit on Jim's wonderful movie and TV career, the focus of this talk is the story of Jim's son Charlie, Charlie's diagnosis with severe epilepsy at age 1, and the amazing journey that Jim and his wife Nancy embarked on to find an ultimately successful cure for their son.

An excerpt from Jim Abrahams in his new book "Surely You Can't Be Serious: The True Story of Airplane!" by David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker

 

https://a.co/6BmYU3F

 

After Airplane!, I married Nancy, the woman whose fingers I had nervously smooshed together while sitting through an early Airplane! screening, and we started a family.

 

Joseph, Jamie, and Charlie have brought incredible pride, light, and joy—and a few sleepless nights—into my life. Once David and Jerry and I decided to work independently, I directed Big Business (1988), co-wrote The Naked Gun, directed Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael (1990), and co-wrote and directed Hot Shots! (1991) and Hot Shots! Part Deux (1993).

 

By then I had spent the first forty-nine years of my life trying to find things to laugh about.

 

Then in March 1993, everything changed. My one-year-old son, Charlie, had his first seizure. There’s absolutely nothing funny about being the parent of a child with uncontrolled epilepsy. Nothing. After a year of daily seizures, drugs, and a brain surgery, I learned that the cure for Charlie’s epilepsy, the ketogenic diet—a high fat, no sugar, limited protein diet—had been hiding in plain sight for, by then, over seventy years.

 

And despite the diet’s being well documented in medical texts, none of the half-dozen pediatric neurologists we had taken Charlie to see had mentioned a word about it. I found out on my own at a medical library. It was life altering—not just for Charlie and my family, but for tens of thousands like us.

 

Turns out there are powerful forces at work within our health care system that don’t necessarily prioritize good health. For decades, physicians have barely been taught diet therapy or even nutrition in medical school. The pharmaceutical, medical device, and sugar industries make hundreds of billions every year on anti-epileptic drugs and processed foods—but not a nickel if we change what we eat.

 

The cardiology community and American Heart Association demonize fat based on flawed science. Hospitals profit from tests and procedures, but again no money from diet therapy. There is a world epilepsy population of over sixty million people. Most of those people begin having their seizures as children, and only a minuscule percentage ever find out about ketogenic diet therapies. When I realized that 99 percent of what had happened to Charlie and my family was unnecessary, and that there were millions of families worldwide in the same situation, I needed to try to do something.

 

Nancy and I began the Charlie Foundation (charliefoundation.org) in 1994 in order to facilitate research and get the word directly to those who would benefit. Among the high points were countless articles, a couple appearances of Charlie’s story on Dateline NBC, and a movie I produced and directed about another family whose child’s epilepsy had been cured by the ketogenic diet starring Meryl Streep titled First Do No Harm (1997).

 

Today, of course, the diet permeates social media. When we started, there was one hospital in the world offering ketogenic diet therapy. Today, there are 250. Equally important, word about the efficacy of the ketogenic diet for epilepsy spread within the scientific community.

 

In 1995, we hosted the first of many scientific global symposia focused on the diet. As research into its mechanisms and applications has spiked, incredibly the professional communities have found the same metabolic pathway that is triggered by the ketogenic diet to reduce seizures has also been found to benefit Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, severe psychiatric disorders, traumatic brain injury, and even some cancers.

 

I did dip back into the movie business co-writing and directing Jane Austen’s: Mafia (1998) and co-writing Scary Movie 4 (2004). Although I tried my hardest, my heart was no longer in it. I was painting by numbers. I had another passion. There is no way I would have embraced the concept or had the ability to take on this oversight made by American medicine were it not for the confidence and skills I learned with David and Jerry during our Airplane! adventure. It is one more reason I will always love them—and that silly movie.”

As research into its mechanisms and applications has spiked, incredibly the professional communities have found the same metabolic pathway that is triggered by the ketogenic diet to reduce seizures has also been found to benefit Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, severe psychiatric disorders, traumatic brain injury, and even some cancers. I did dip back into the movie business co-writing and directing Jane Austen’s: Mafia (1998) and co-writing Scary Movie 4 (2004). Although I tried my hardest, my heart was no longer in it. I was painting by numbers. I had another passion. There is no way I would have embraced the concept or had the ability to take on this oversight made by American medicine were it not for the confidence and skills I learned with David and Jerry during our Airplane! adventure. It is one more reason I will always love them—and that silly movie.” A note from Chris Joseph:I am currently raising $$$ to fund the publication of my new book "The Kitchen Sink Approach to Cancer (and Why You Shouldn't Always Listen to Your Doctor)".

Allan's book is its fifth version, and he's helped countless people over the decades.  A fascinating conversation!

 

About the book:  Perfect Misfortune and the four previous editions have been about healing and about emotional and physical recovery in the face of personal crisis and loss. They've each been about discovery, recovering a piece of childhood, and finding part of ourselves we've lost bouncing over the speed bumps of life.

 

Perfect Misfortune is about our spiritual nature and the healing power of our spiritual nature. The book is meant for anyone with an illness or disease, physical or mental condition, who is struggling.

 

This book is about three principles - Mind, Thought and Consciousness - discovered originally through an insight by Sydney Banks. These three principles describe our spiritual nature in a way that's healing.

 

Perfect Misfortune is Allan Flood's continuing, deepening, ever-evolving journey to understand The Three Principles, the good disguised in our worst misfortunes, the learning that comes from them and how the wisdom we acquire in crisis can help us find the best in ourselves and others.

 

This edition is a "coming home" story. It has fresh insights and humbling discoveries he has made about life and healing over the last five years as he has sought deeper and deeper peace-of-mind.

 

This book is intended to give comfort and hope to those in life-changing circumstances. The journey has occasionally been harrowing as his ego trips (no pun intended) over deeply held beliefs and reactions but it's always been enriching. The path towards Truth and healing becomes more beautiful with time.

 

This fifth edition reflects his understanding of Sydney Banks' insights, the power of The Three Principles, and shares what he has discovered over the last five years that is healing. Allan is excited and relieved to simplify the journey, to bring this edition to life and contribute to your healing as well as his own.

 

So, as he has said in earlier editions of Perfect Misfortune, he invites you to grab the tiger's tail as he shares with you the greatest adventure of his life and what could be the beginning of the greatest adventure of yours as well.

 

About the Author: Allan Flood, author of Perfect Misfortune and Management by Inspiration, lives in Bend, Oregon. His unique and practical perspective of how to find peace and hope in the face of upsetting personal circumstances comes from living with and coming to peace with multiple sclerosis for 35 years. Allan has extensive business and non-profit experience and has seen how important it is to understand where the human experience comes from. With humor and personal warmth, Allan shares with you his insights and how they can improve your health and well-being.

And some of you know Chris Erskine, a nationally renowned writer, columnist and editor for The Los Angeles Times.

 

This is a fascinating talk and an even more fascinating book!

 

Steve Searles is a self-taught bear expert who’s been working with the animals for nearly three decades. Since 1996, he has been the wildlife specialist for the ski town of Mammoth Lakes, Calif., where he developed a global reputation for his novel approaches to keeping residents—and the bears—safe. Steve founded the town’s “Don’t Feed Our Bears” program and helped formulate Yosemite National Park’s initial bear program. In 2010, he was the topic of the reality show “The Bear Whisperer” on Animal Planet. He is a native of Orange County, Calif.

 

Chris Erskine is a nationally known columnist, with most of his work appearing in the Los Angeles Times and distributed to 600 papers nationwide. As an editor there, he was part of two Pulitzer Prize-winning teams. He is best known to readers for his weekly pieces on life in suburban Los Angeles. This is his fifth book. He is a native of Chicago and now lives in Los Angeles.

She was born into an ultra-religious cult—or the Field as they called it—started in the 1930s by her grandfather, a mercurial, domineering, and charismatic man who convinced generations of young male followers that he would live 500 years and ascend to the heavens when doomsday came. Comfort and care are sins, Michelle is told. As a result, she was forced to learn the skills necessary to battle hunger, thirst, and cold; she learned to trust animals more than humans; and most importantly, she learned how to survive in the natural world.

 

At the Field, a young Michelle lives a life of abuse, poverty, and isolation, as she obeys her family’s rigorous religious and patriarchal rules—which are so extreme that Michelle is convinced her mother would sacrifice her, like Abraham and Isaac, if instructed by God. She often wears the same clothes for months at a time; she is often ill and always hungry for both love and food. She is taught not to trust Outsiders, and especially not Quitters, nor her own body and its warnings.

 

But as Michelle gets older, she realizes she has the strength to break free. Focus on what will sustain, not satiate you, she tells herself. Use everything. Waste nothing. Get to know the intricacies of the land, like the intricacies of your body. And so she does.

 

Using stories of individual edible plants and their uses to anchor each chapter, Forager is both a searing coming-of-age story and a meditation on the ways in which understanding nature can lead to freedom, even joy.

Comfort and care are sins, Michelle is told. As a result, she was forced to learn the skills necessary to battle hunger, thirst, and cold; she learned to trust animals more than humans; and most importantly, she learned how to survive in the natural world.

 

At the Field, a young Michelle lives a life of abuse, poverty, and isolation, as she obeys her family’s rigorous religious and patriarchal rules—which are so extreme that Michelle is convinced her mother would sacrifice her, like Abraham and Isaac, if instructed by God. She often wears the same clothes for months at a time; she is often ill and always hungry for both love and food. She is taught not to trust Outsiders, and especially not Quitters, nor her own body and its warnings.

 

But as Michelle gets older, she realizes she has the strength to break free. Focus on what will sustain, not satiate you, she tells herself. Use everything. Waste nothing. Get to know the intricacies of the land, like the intricacies of your body. And so she does.

 

Using stories of individual edible plants and their uses to anchor each chapter, Forager is both a searing coming-of-age story and a meditation on the ways in which understanding nature can lead to freedom, even joy.

I hope you listen to this conversation about her cancer journey, and how she is helping others deal with this disease.  She's a hero---cancer didn't steal her joy!

 

About Teona:

 

Teona Ducre is a six year pancreatic cancer survivor from Atlanta, GA. She is a single mother of two adult children, Grant (22) and Sydney (19) and works for Pinnacle Health of Atlanta as a Physician Recruiter.

 

Teona was diagnosed at the age of 41 on April 1, 2016 (yes, April Fool’s Day!)  Her battle with pancreatic cancer included 6 months of very aggressive chemotherapy that successfully shrunk the tumor and made her eligible for surgery in November of 2016.The day before Thanksgiving 2016, Teona was released to go home and celebrate the holiday with her family and friends.  

She then underwent another 5 months of chemotherapy until she was officially declared in remission.  

 

Teona’s motto throughout her cancer journey was “Cancer Can’t Steal My Joy.”  Soon after getting diagnosed, Teona began volunteering with various organizations including Purple Pansies and  the Pancreatic Cancer Network (PanCAN) to advocate for all those impacted by this devastating disease.  

 

Her volunteer work includes being a guest speaker at the Purple Pansies annual Gala and fundraiser, as well as being an Honorary Board Member of Purple Pansies. She has served as board member and executive director of Destroy Pancreatic Cancer Foundation of Atlanta. She has served in various roles with the Atlanta PanCAN affiliate, including participating in the planning of Purple Stride Atlanta, traveling to Washington DC on multiple occasions for National Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill and serving as the Affiliate Chair, Affiliate Co-Chair and a 3 year member of the PanCAN Survivor Council. She also is the author of HealthFULLLife blog and uses social media to spread awareness about her battle with pancreatic cancer.

 

In addition, Teona shares her story through attending speaking engagements and interviews for both print and broadcast media. She has been a guest on several Atlanta radio shows and on Atlanta Unplugged with WNBA player Tamara Young, whose father died of pancreatic cancer. Teona also appeared in a national interview on CBS with PanCAN CEO and President, Julie Fleishman.

 

Teona celebrated a milestone 6 years in remission in 2022 and continues her volunteerism. As a woman of color, Teona is dedicated to educating Black and Brown communities about the disease and spreading awareness with the goal of bettering outcomes for the BIPOC community diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer.  

 

Through her involvement with Purple Pansies and other advocacy and health education roles,  Teona was inspired to pursue a career as a physician recruiter. She hopes to eventually complete her MPH degree to work more closely with nonprofit organizations and globally to improve health outcomes for People of Color.

Kimberly is a certified functional medicine health coach, functional nutritionist, and trainer who works primarily with people who have complex, multi-system inflammatory conditions. She fell into this work by accident while struggling to get correctly diagnosed and treated for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a genetic connective tissue disorder which effects every organ system in the body. After 20 years of misdiagnoses and medical gaslighting, Kimberly finally received the correct diagnosis in 2018, and decided to become one of the few EDS and Dysautonomia-literate practitioners in the American health care system. When she’s not working with patients or ruining BBQs by telling friends “you shouldn’t eat that,” Kimberly is a professional musician, patient advocate, and community organizer based out of New Orleans. She believes strongly that a combination of affordable patient education and direct mutual aid to lower income communities is the only way out of the current American health care crisis.
