This episode was a long time coming. I realized I still owe you my own Reinvention story to share (or at least the first part of it today). What shaped my life the way it is today, and what influenced me during my life under communism? Nobody told me that failures are part of growth, then. If I failed, I wasn't praised for "trying", I was made aware that I screwed up big time so I better never try again. That was my upbringing. It still occasionally stops me in my tracks. But I walked a long, long way since that time, and far away from the small village in the Czech Republic. We all have those moments that change our direction. Some have a few, some plenty. Some intentional, some unpredictable. How powerful they are when looking back, realizing YOU DID overcome it, something amazing came out of it and your life is better for it. We all come to situations when we need to remind ourselves of those strong moments. Especially when facing something hard, when we feel like the end of the world when we can't make a decision or move on ... it pays to stop, sit back and remind yourself that YES - there were super hard moments in your life before. And not only you survived it, you turned it around, and found the strength to take charge. It will remind you of your power. That's the whole reason I do this podcast - sharing stories that turned someone's life upside down - and what seemed like an impossible obstacle turned into a great new opportunity. Today I'm sharing some key moments from my life. Some that I'm proud of and some that I'm not so proud of. No filter. I believe it serves us all to remember who we once were, and what we accomplished. That should be the only reason for looking back. Tune in tonight, and let me know what you think.

Our today's guest may seem out of the theme. After all, Nicole Starbuck is a founder of an Auracle Academy, a psychic empath, a quantum energy healer, a spiritual mentor, and a life coach! I think you would agree with me that these things may be a big part of reinventing and a healing process - depending on where you're on the journey. Nicole is empowering people to ignite their intuition and supercharge their psychic skills so that they can make their dreams a reality. As expected, this was another great conversation where we covered - among others:   What happened when she denied the gifts How does one become a psychic and who wasn’t happy about it in her life How could this link to chronic illness, mental health issues, disease, and/or possibly help? How may working with a psychic help you stop second-guessing, dealing with stress and overwhelm, and lead you into life of a freedom and in a flow? How did she deal with her out-of-control state of mind? What did we both share about taking a "shower time"? Nicole generously shared many valuable tips that can help you start on the journey (if you're not ready to reach out for help). Here are some of Nicole's pearls of wisdom: "Most people are asleep (they have chosen to stay asleep) small percentage of people wake up and realize THERE has to be another way!" "We're literally searching for HOME, all of us" "Let me control what I can because I felt so out of control with my emotions" "Feel the fear, do it anyway!"Tune in and share with others if you're so compelled!

In this episode, we had an amazing conversation with the one and only Dr. David Silverman, a retired Foot Surgeon who built a successful private practice and Maryland Certified Ambulatory Surgery Center practice only to soon realize that he was meant for something more in life. More compact, a bigger purpose... As this podcast name Third Chances suggests – Dr. Silverman’s current success wasn’t his first professional choice (although he was a successful doctor). Entering the world of network marketing, a business model that provides more time freedom and greater financial rewards, (a residual income) was also full of obstacles - when you don’t work with honest players. Today Dr. Silverman celebrates more than 20 years in international holistic health education & marketing, sits on the ASEA Medical Professionals Board, and has received multiple awards. The most impressive are the ASEA Ambassador Triple Diamond Executive, the ASEA Mentor of the Year (2017), and the ASEA Business Builder of the Year (2020). But perhaps the most fulfilling of all is becoming a global entrepreneur with thousands of lives impacted all over the world, helping others to achieve better health and better wealth. We'll talk about:What almost happened, and how he changed his "never again" to “third time the charm” how he realized he was psychologically unemployable how he felt he had more potential and wanted to do more how he worked with inventions how he didn’t want to become a father, kids hardly know how he discovered the first company he joined forces with wasn't the right partner what happened next how he started a second time  What almost happened, and how he changed his "never again" to “third time the charm”   “Making money gives you choices – but when you have time freedom and the money, that really gives you a lot of choices.” • What he did do this time, to prevent possible disappointment • What impressed him about the company he joined forces with (and it’s the last) • Why he named this scientific breakthrough a gift for humanity • What it is and how it works • How can you also get involved in the business opportunity • What it took to convince his wife that this one would be a safe haven... and so much more in this fascinating episode of Third Chances “Some people only come to you in crises. I wish they didn’t wait so long” Dr. David Silverman   "In 2010, I properly investigated this health (& anti-aging) breakthrough because my dad was ill. Why will you do so? For you? Or perhaps for someone you love. Someone who may be suffering? Watch this 6-minute video, 6Minutes6Reasons.com, and start taking control of your health, today."   You can get in touch with Dr. Silverman here: GettingYoungerClub.Com                  LINKEDIN      WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBEFor more info visit: www.lifewithredox.comFor Personal consultation text "YouTube" to Vera on WhatsApp: +1 203-558-6213.START YOUR BUSINESS TODAY: https://fluid.app/s/fbbd6a Disclaimer:Any opinions stated on this podcast are meant for information only.

Today’s episode is for fellow amateur scientific nerds - or real ones :)!! If you love learning and discovering new technologies as an early adaptor, you will enjoy a conversation with Dr. Lee Ostler, DDS, a general dentist in Richland, WA. He’s a founder and past president of the American Academy for Oral Systemic Health, a past clinical instructor, and an author of numerous books on oral systemic healthcare. After a significant personal experience with Redox Signaling Molecules, his love for biology and biochemistry kicked in, and he dove deep into research to understand this newest bio-hack and groundbreaking technology – and today he’s helping others understand. Dr. Ostler sits on the Asea Medical Professionals Board (a volunteer position), and wrote two books on cellular health and redox biology – “Redox Matters - Connecting the Dots between Redox Biology and Health” and “Healthy Matters – Applying the Redox Lifestyle”. This series continues with Why It Matters - How to Become Recession Proof in a Gig Economy Be a side-hustle Thousandair and Progress Matters. He also participates in weekly web conversations on ZOOM with other medical and business professionals called ASEA 5 and manages the RedoxMatters.com website. Recordings of all the weekly web calls taking place every Friday on ZOOM can be found in a video section of this website. Today we spoke about how: Although the odds were not favorable, young Lee didn’t have a plan B when decided to become a dentist  He took a stand when early research showed a connection between the health of the mouth and the rest of the body He co-founded The Academy for Oral Systemic Health and became its president As there wasn’t as much material available then, he dove into extensive research and spent time working closely with physicians and fellow dentists, connecting and sharing the new approach Dr. Ostler made the argument that the health of the mouth and our health are connected and wrote several books about oral systemic health How his wife, battling unique health challenges for nearly 4 decades, was recommended to try some Redox as her doctor ran out of options to help her What happened within 48 hours and how it prompted both doctors to pay attention and dive deep into research of Redox Signaling Molecules How he turned into deep research about redox biology, just like he did previously with oral systemic health What triggered writing the book, Redox Matters What’s called the rules of our cells What he noticed when he started taking redox himself When the pandemic hit, what it meant for his practice Inspired by one of the cohosts of ASEA 5, dr. Ostler stepped up the intake of redox and watched what happens How the experimental and academic sides met How the last decades of antioxidants didn’t deliver the full story What he calls interventions Why we don’t want to stay in balance What makes “our inner doctor” stronger, more able, and more capable What’s oxidative stress and how do we bring it on ourselves What is the purpose of the exercise, fasting, phytonutrients, etc. What turns on our cell defenses, and what’s called homeostasis When happens when consistent out-of-balance oxidation persists What happens when we’re more toxic What’s the fuel source for our cell’s mitochondria  “So we have a multibillion-dollar industry that has grown up around this idea of putting out the fire of reducing the oxidants with these available electrons that I can get from vitamins.” What are transcription factors? What’s the Dr. Lee’s answer to someone who asks if it’s going to work for them How different this is to the “drug mindset, the interventions” What’s the concept called redox clean What book is Dr. Ostler working on now What is his biggest WHY What is rule 72 and why it’s an eye opener And so much more in this fascinating episode of Third ChancesYou can get in touch with Dr. Ostler here:WEBSITE           FACEBOOK     YouTubeWATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBEFor more info visit: www.lifewithredox.com For Personal consultation text "YouTube" to Vera on WhatsApp: +1 203-558-6213.

Another powerful episode -  this time with a spiritual teacher, an author, a wife and a mother, and a dear friend (or soul sister??) Danielle Dagba. It’s fascinating to me to realize how far I have come from being completely in denial of the spiritual world (who’s got time for that) to begin to understand that go-go-go is not the way, that we need to take care of our mind and spirit the same way “we try” to take care of our body. I thought the exercise is the best way. I thought a good diet and whole food is the best way. But it’s not enough and I keep learning from wise people who figured it all out long before me. How the spiritual side of you is an important part of your well-being and happiness. How one doesn’t exist without the other. It’s mind-boggling to me that all these things are coming to me so late in my life. But better late than never. I hope you’re enjoying this learning journey with me. With a beautiful Danielle, we talked about:  How one becomes a spiritual teacher How she overcame obesity (hard to believe) and kept her weight down for almost 15 years How to love your body How she prayed and manifested for her purpose mate - while her future husband (before they met) prayed for finding his wife. The one that was meant for him About her journey of being raised in Haiti with a strong catholic background How she was missing something – and started asking deeper questions What was her life plan and how did it gets redirected abruptly  What trauma she needed to heal How she could feel people’s pain and a strong desire to alleviate pain How she could take on energy from far away The realization she made when she first looked into the eyes of her beautiful, miracle baby “You can’t hide pains for long, they start to surface.” “If something so pure and so beautiful came out of me – what else can come out of me if I had my life together” How people naturally started coming to them for insight and advice What her husband helped her to understand and lift How ost in service to community and people - they coached people for a decade before they turned it into a business  How through healing they have something more to give to people How did her book “Born to succeed programmed to fail” come along (what a title!!!!) What’s her true calling The power of self-healing and the power of self-love What she believes about every soul What’s the body and what’s the spirit How if you’re in pain for decades, it’s not going to change overnight What we lost as children and what we were taught instead – about love How powerful a tool our body is and how our body is keeping a score What’s the process of Body love, Body reconciliation, and Body celebration Pain is inevitable but suffering is a choice “The highest level of honesty is the truth you tell yourself. If you can’t tell yourself the truth, no guru, even Jesus can come, I mean the highest spiritual master can be in front of you, and resources can be around you, you’re not going to tap into them. Because you’re denying the fact that something gotta give, you’re not happy, you’re broken, you need to heal, and you have to be open and vulnerable, even if it’s just to yourself at first. And then the resources will come, you open that door for the help to come, and you become magnetic. I remember there was a time, many times when I was taking my spiritual path and there was this understanding that I’m lacking – and I would say, God, I'm ready. The book will come, I turn the TV on, I turn something and that’s exactly what I needed to hear. It always comes from your willingness to change and always being honest with yourself. If you can lie to yourself, nothing can help you.“ Daniel Dagba WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBEThe best way to get in touch with Danielle: EMAIL Address: [email protected] WEBSITE          YOUTUBE       INSTAGRAM     PODCAST     SOUL JOURNEY SPIRITUAL MASTERCLASS - A personal journey to awakening your “Blue” Soul link  Disclaimer:Any opinions stated on this podcast are personal opinions of the host or guests and are meant for information only.

In today's episode, we talk with Jill Patton, a 30-year health journalist, and editor turned health and wellness coach. She works with women in leadership — whether in their professions, communities, or families — to help them create the vitality and health they need to keep showing up for what matters and to make the difference they feel called to make. The funny thing is that we turned the tables - as a journalist, Jill is not used to getting asked questions, she's usually asking them. This was an interesting and fulfilling conversation that should give you a taste of Jill's personality, her coaching style, and how she can help. We talked about how: what she really wanted to do before landing into the coaching stratosphere   how her body tells her when she's pushing too hard her own body issues led her to learn more about nutrition, using food as a medicine, and well being what does being a writer and a coach have in common what is working with a health & wellness coach looks like what is necessary for the change to happen what do high achievers usually deal with on daily bases  what can you do instead of blame and shame  WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE Where can you best connect with Jill?email: [email protected]     LINKEDIN    FACEBOOK     YOUTUBE   INSTAGRAM    Disclaimer:Any opinions stated on this podcast are personal opinions of the host or guests and are meant for information only.

This week we connected and talked with a charming Sarah who was a Registered Nurse for twenty years – and is now helping others as a Holistic Health Coach, Keynote Speaker, Author, and multi-award-winning entrepreneur. In this episode we speak about how she naturally overcame a multitude of health issues, and how Sarah now uses the knowledge gained through her own personal healing journey and experience as a nurse, to take a holistic approach to her work. How 20 years traditionally trained nurse became a holistic coach What’s the difference between a typical medical and a holistic approach  What moved her to reconsider the whole approach to her own health  What health challenges she was able to naturally heal (despite her doctor's prognoses)  How can we start being proactive rather than reactive and start with baby steps today How do you heal when you don’t look at one problem at the time Why she wrote her book and reached out to others who healed themselves to write powerful stories about their own healing journeys  What is the belief in the healing process  What role do unconscious beliefs play  How the “nocebo effect” is the same as the placebo effect – once you’re told you’ll have certain symptoms you’re going to experience them  What tiny steps can you take today  Why it's important to love yourself in an unconditional waySome of Sarah's pearls of wisdom:“Once you have done the healing work (especially the mindset work) the emotional healing work, dealt with your demons, they’re done and dealt with, they don’t impact your life anymore.”“With the diagnoses comes a program and a set of beliefs”“A lot of little somethings is better than none of the big something”“LOVE is always the answer”to get in touch with Sarah, connect with her:Website  LinkedIn  Facebook    YouTube    Instagram   TwitterEmail: [email protected] Book – HEAL YOURSELF on Amazon worldwide in 4 languages Course – Heal Yourself At Home – link on my website for a 20-module self-directed learning course.

In this episode, we talk with Ricardo Wilkins, a former government employee turned entrepreneur, and his journey to personal development. How after years in government employment having a nice paycheck and being comfortable in the cubicle he realized that he wanted more, the challenge, something that moves him, fires him up, and brings up the best of him but still, as opportunities showed up, his limiting beliefs would stop him from utilizing them  How he finally got fed up and what he discovered that started changing his life, health, and the direction of his life What volunteering means to him -How a chronic stomach issue got him on the journey of realizing that even multiple tests, and multiple specialists can’t always determine what the core issue is How he started learning about proper nutrition, what to put in his body, healing, started paying attention How is now the “annoying healthy eater” The new direction that moves Ricardo, inspires him and hit that entrepreneurial bug he had within him What caught his attention because of aging, and longevity research We spoke about his newly published book – Life’s Biohack – the health secrets of redox signaling and what compelled him to write it The book you can understand and read within 1 day It’s also an example of Ricardo’s personal development - how we can overcome our limiting beliefs, change our story, and get out of our comfort zone How he wants to create immerse volunteering – for people who might have lost their job, and are looking for a next step - providing guidance and support for their next stepIf you want to connect with Ricardo, here is the best way: Email: [email protected] Phone: 301-332-9515 LinkedIn      Website    Facebook   YouTube    Instagram    BUY a BOOK WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBEFor more info visit: www.lifewithredox.com For Personal consultation text "YouTube" to Vera on WhatsApp: +1 203-558-6213.

This interview was originally recorded at the beginning of the world’s pandemic as one of my first ZOOM conversations. But its message and great advice are even more valuable today. I had the privilege to chat with Edwin Brown - a private practitioner of acupuncture in Wethersfield and Manchester, Connecticut). Edwin has spent the last 24 years working in both private clinical and hospital settings. In addition, he spent more than 22 years studying the arts of Judo and Jiujitsu, pursuing his love for Martial arts as well as several years studying and practicing Tai Chi. A thorough understanding of how the flow of energy (Ki) affects the body is a central and crucial aspect in both fighting and healing arts. The ultimate goal of both fighting and healing arts is to achieve and maintain harmony. Studying these disciplines has enabled him to more thoroughly understand Ki and has thereby enhanced his ability to better serve his patients on their healing journeys, and on their paths back to realizing a more balanced life.

You got to feel it to heal it.” You'll learn about:  How Mitch’s journey started with multiple crazy diagnoses in his early 20ties What can TBIs, autoimmune disease, insomnia, Lyme disease, and pre-diabetic conditions do to your body's stress  Add to it scary symptoms that presented themselves after being exposed to black mold (unknowingly), heavy metal toxins Mix with tragedy in the family, 3 rounds of Covid, losing 70 lbs. of body weight, and a scary car accident on top of it How much more can you take and what it takes to pull yourself out of that hole How he ends up genie-pigging himself to better health after putting band-aids and plugging holes that didn’t address the root of the issue How he felt compelled to help others with what he learned that helped him How one chiropractor changed his life trajectory What (and who) saved his life How as a type A person you take everything to the extreme – if something is good for you, you will do more of it with a tendency to overdo it. How when you deal with the baggage from the past, emotions, and trauma, once you free up that kind of energy, you’ve got lots of energy to create the life that you want How he partnered with functional medicine doctors to figure out the root issue when you can’t diet and exercise yourself out of chronic health condition Why focusing on the end result leads to burnout and quitting and what to focus on instead What’s his Book of proof How nothing changes until we change – and when we do things differently, we get a different outcome "Before you know it - you look back and you’re somebody completely different that you don’t even recognize and it’s a beautiful thing! Everything happens for a reason. When struggle comes up, the Japanese like to celebrate. I got these crazy diagnoses – awesome!

Today’s guest is Maureen Hayes, MD, a Medical Doctor for more than 30 years. She’s a board-certified Anesthesiologist and Pain Management Specialist. How she transformed her professional career, what it means for her impact, a mission, and how the quality of her life changed. We talked about: How all she ever wanted was to be a surgeon  Who was the only man she would sacrifice her career for? Navigating a demanding career while being a single mom How she transformed from surgery to anesthesia and pain management  What book her mom gave her changed her perspective on business, money, life, and what she was doing “If you look from the outside, it looked like the perfect life. But we had not time to enjoy any of it!”  About that Mother of the Year award  How she became the horrible network marketer  How she questioned if her lifetime work has any effect on people’s health  How she started studying and integrating other wellness products that help  Her mom and her husband, himself a doctor and former marathon runner, were both diagnosed with a life-threatening illness  What she calls her own period of ignorance and arrogance once her mom’s illness came back “I thought I was a doctor; I knew better. I did everything I can think of. Except for Redox. Until my mom died 2 months later.” “We’re not giving anybody medical advice - this is a bio replenishment agent. It’s something we already have in every cell of the body, we just have less of it as we get older. Even our genes being turned off and on has to do with redox signaling.“ "Sometimes you don’t know when you have been handed something that’s an answer to your prayers." Magnifying her efforts now and how every dollar earned is a measuring stick of life changed  What would she do differently if she had a do-over?"We all want to age gracefully - we want to be 100 years old but not in a wheelchair with people wiping us …." This is everything. This is the energy of life, really. If you took these molecules away, just like oxygen, you wouldn’t live for more than a few minutes. That’s how foundational they’re.
