    Celebrities Raising Cancer Awareness

    Celebrities Raising Cancer Awareness

    In this very special and star-filled episode of Talk About It, Greg sits down with David Anders, Todd Stashwick and Jerry O'Connell to share their personal stories of how cancer has impacted their lives. It will have you laughing, crying, and finding ways to come together to end this horrible disease once-and-for-all.
    First up is David Anders, a delightfully eccentric and incredibly talented actor Greg worked with on Heroes and Alias. David opens up about his father's blood cancer diagnosis, and how his father dealt with his condition as a doctor who had massive impact on all of his patients. David still grapples with the major loss of his hero and friend.
    Next, you'll hear from Todd Stashwick - also a brilliant actor and a self-described nerd enthusiast! Todd starred as Captain Liam Shaw on the critically aclaimed award-winning third season of Star Trek: Picard. Off screen he is an avid Dungeons and Dragons player who uses the hobby to raise money for the Pablove Foundation for pediatric cancer initiatives (PabLove.org). Todd's very good friends experienced the unthinkable when they lost their teenage daughter to cancer, so Todd laced up his running shoes and participates in half marathons in her memory. He also runs a charity livestream of DnD with audience participation to raise both awareness and money for Pablove.
    Finally, after such heavy conversations, we lighten up a bit with the hilarious actor, gameshow and podcast host, and star of Star Trek: Lower Decks Jerry O'Connell. Jerry starts by lamenting about being the father of teenage daughters, but he ends up getting into how cancer has affected him through his dad's repeated battles. He inherited his family's tendency to only go to the doctor if you have to go, but after witnessing his father's multiple scares with skin cancer, he sees the importance of getting screened in advance to take a more preventative approach.

    MUSIC ON THE MIND of Christopher P. Austin, M.D.

    MUSIC ON THE MIND of Christopher P. Austin, M.D.

    This month on Talk About It, Greg is joined by the CEO of Vesalius Therapeutics and former director of the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), along with Phil Gattone, co-founder of Talk About It! This episode is all about collaboration, and how it’s possible to make giant strides in the world of medicine through various fields coming together. As Dr. Austin describes, there is often times resistance to share information across fields or specialties, but in the past decade and especially through Covid, the world of medical science, especially as it pertains to conditions like epilepsy, has seen developments that show the whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts. Plus, as a very special treat, don’t miss Dr. Austin showcasing the other side of his expansive brain as he performs opera in front of a live audience! Greg is accompanying, of course!

    Caregivers and Conquering the Scary Unknown with Kelley Coleman

    Caregivers and Conquering the Scary Unknown with Kelley Coleman

    To celebrate Epilepsy Awareness Month, Greg sits down with mother, caregiver and author Kelley Coleman to talk about navigating through scary and uncharted waters after a difficult diagnosis. Kelley is the mother of two boys, and her youngest, Aaron, developed an undiagnosed genetic syndrome in addition to epilepsy, autism, cerebral palsy, cortical vision impairment, microcephaly, and motor/ sensory disabilities. Over the years of her preparation, planning and persistence, she developed systems, lists and how-to’s that she is now publishing as a practical guidebook for all parent caretakers to follow entitled Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child: Your Guide to the Essential Systems, Services and Supports. They also discuss motherly instincts and persistence with medical professionals, how she manages her self-care as a caretaker of others, and of course… Venus fly traps! We also get a bonus visit from a few celebrity friends who have very special messages for all caretakers this month.
