He was instrumental in promoting the recognition of Traumatic Brain Injury as a cause of hormonal deficiency in the hallmarked presentation on ESPN’s Outside the Lines in 2007. His book, The Clinical Application of Interventional Medicine, is recognized by his peers as a primer for the standards of care and assessment for Interventional Endocrinology (anti-aging medicine). He has served as Medical Director of CBS Studios, and has also participated on projects with HBO, ESPN, CNN, FOX, Good Morning, and a number of international news programs. In 2014, Dr. Gordon appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience, where the discussion on Traumatic Brain Injury and hormonal dysfunction generated national and international interest.

Julie Hatch will join me the 1st hr to discuss A Parenting Revolution for Higher Evolution which discussesraising resilient, responsible, compassionant kids from the inside out. Hatch maintains that trying to force a child who is shy to be more bold goes against their nature. Or trying to make a creative child more sports-driven can be folly. By truly deeply observing, listening to, perceiving and encouraging your child’s inner spirit, you have the ability to create a happy, emotionally healthy and successful child-turned adult. See: juliephillipshatch.com Great Podcast on Parenting too! 2nd Half of show I’ll be discussing “Exercises to Sharpen the Brain” .. Who doesn’t need that?! 🙂 And a little music healing.

For 20 years, Walter Zajac has been hailed as one of the best psychics on the West Coast. As an acclaimed psychic medium, certified Tarot reader, NLP coach, Reiki Master and Love Coach, he has empowered and guided thousands through enlightening psychic readings, and inspiring coaching and healing sessions globally. He wrote an amazing book called: They Came: Beyond Deja Vu – A powerful memoir told as novel and supernatural thriller about how Walter discovered his psychic gifts. When you read They Came – Beyond Déjà Vu you must remember that this “novel” is actually the true story of renowned psychic Walter Zajac! Positioned as fiction and couched in fictitious names, it doesn’t really lessen the impact and tragedy of what he endured as an abandoned, orphaned, beaten and sexually-abused child in post-war Germany…and later in America. It is a miracle he survived at all, but what is really astonishing about this story is how Zajac awakened to his incredible gifts as a psychic! He received messages from two sisters, before they were born!

Join Kim and Simon as they discuss the probability of anti-aging tools, and particularly slowing of Brain Aging. Most of us know that cognitive function gets interrupted with brain injury .. At least the 1000’s+ of us who recognize it in our own case. We knew that aging in and of itself causes brain function to decline. If you’re like us .. The aging/injury combo resembled an accelerated decline. Example, Kim’s injury was at age 35. Certainly aging wasn’t a consideration at that time, but it didn’t take long to realize that her brain function had gone from her pre-injury way of operating, to that of someone decade(s) older. When real aging kicked in .. Wow .. Help!! They will be giving some tips that seem to be working at putting the brakes on the Brain Aging process. You may have others you’d like to call in and share. Keeping the Hope alive and helping the brain to thrive. Also carried over from last weeks’ show – It’s Summer! Refresh on Difference Between Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke. Neither are good .. Symptoms, Tips, When to Get Help – Be Cool 🙂

Kevin “WarHawk” Doncaster is a United States Marine Veteran. He served in Iraq and Afghanistan and has a combined 14 years in service to his country as both a Marine, and Department of Defense Contractor. During those 14 years, he spent 3 years in Iraq and 4 years in Afghanistan. Kevin sustained multiple injuries as a result of his service in the Middle East. After coming home for good, Kevin was searching for answers and help for the struggles associated with exposure to war. While he made it home safely, his mind remained at War. Kevin was gifted a fully trained Australian Shepherd as a PTSD service dog. Two weeks following that special day, a friend died by suicide. Kevin called the same provider and asked one question… “How do I do what you did for me, for a lot of people?” Kevin decided to take the adversity, and turn it in to action. WarHawk PTSD Service Dogs was born, and since that time, they have delivered 45 dogs to 18 states. Kevin has ambition to deliver to all 50 states, and his current mission is taking him to New Zealand to deliver a dog to a unit there that served alongside the coalition forces and America in our times of need, combating global terrorism.
