When you experience stress, you’re simply applying meaning to an event that has either HAPPENED or you THINK will happen to you.  Sometimes you are correct and sometimes you are not. Studies have shown that up to 93% of what you stress over never actually happens.  Unfortunately, poor thinking/chronic stress has profound negative effects on your cells and ultimately your health.  Perhaps like grandma used to say to you, “change your attitude and watch yourself soar”.  She was right and this podcast will teach you why she was right from a doctors’ perspective.  Your body becomes what you consistently think of.

There are several different causes of DEPRESSION but perhaps the most powerful one of all is LONELINESS.  That doesn’t mean that you simply don’t have other people in your proximity, it means that you struggle to make strong human connections. Over 55 million people in America wake up every day and take medication for depression and anxiety.  We’ve been told by the AMA and Big Pharma that mood stabilizing medications, SSRI’s, help to balance serotonin levels in our brain which reduces the symptoms of depression and anxiety. The question is, does the science support this hypothesis?  Does the medication really change the brain or is the effect a placebo?  Join me for this interesting discussion into all things related to depression.

Sports have been a staple in America for years.  If you live in the New England area like me, you know that the foundation of great sports lore is built around the Boston Red Sox.  Join me in this conversation with Chris Valente, the Director of Marketing for the Boston Red Sox as we get an update on our beloved team.  Chris discusses how sports have provided a haven for fellowship and entertainment allowing a modicum of escape from life’s challenges. When all else fails…Go Sox!!

Dreams do come true.  Mike Peckham Jr. is the newest undergraduate to join the Class of 2025 at Harvard University.  He’s a self-made 18-year-old man in search of a career fashioned by mathematics and economics.  Mike sits down with me in this podcast to discuss how he was able to achieve such a lofty goal of being accepted into the oldest and most prestigious school in America.  Here’s a hint: It wasn’t because he is the son of a legacy or a senator or president.  Nope, Mike did it the old-fashioned way.  He earned it.  We discussed the moment he learned of his acceptance, the man who inspired him, the mentor that guided him and what he sees for himself and America.  Mike is a visionary and I suspect you are going to hear a lot about him in the future.  He is a true leader.

How often do you get to have a conversation with a woman who was born just a few years after the Titanic went down?  Today is that day.  Say hello to my mom, Betty Jean.  She is a spry 92-year-old woman with an interesting perspective on life.  From a trip down memory lane including her life as a child in the 1930’s and 1940’s to raising a family with her loving devoted husband Cosmo (my dad).  Betty shares what life was like generations ago and how solid family values shaped her journey.  Her story is one of triumph and sorrow that she accepts and trusts that her faith will continue to guide her. She has words of wisdom for the new generation.  She is the true American hero.
