    From Last Bad Day to Rippling Kindness: The Accident that Could have Ended Everything

    Join in as Host John Malanca meets with guest Michael O’Brien who shares an incredible story about never giving up and what he calls his “Last Bad Day”. In the summer of 2001, John’s guest, Michael O’Brien, experienced a horrific bicycle crash. While out on his daily bike ride, an SUV traveling at 40 mph crossed into his lane and struck him head-on, forever altering his life as he knew it. Medical professionals were shocked that he survived and told him that he’d likely never ride again. In 2022, Michael completed a 41-day, 3,600-mile bike ride across the United States, proving all of them wrong. Today, Michael is a meditation teacher, author, executive coach, and creator of the Pause Breathe Reflect app, which invites users to meditate and take time out to stop a bad moment from becoming a very bad day. Join in to hear this remarkable story of a healing journey, the benefits of being mindful, and how to have a meditation practice yourself! Never Give Up!

    The Secret Behind Ryan's Law: California Pharmacists Fight for End of Life Cannabis Access

    The Secret Behind Ryan's Law: California Pharmacists Fight for End of Life Cannabis Access

    Join Host John Malanca as he visits with PharmD, Dr. Leah Johnson as they discuss Ryan's Law and how CA Pharmacists are pushing for Legal Cannabis Access for End of Life Patients Nationwide. Please follow Dr. Johnson here as she and her group lead in this fight for patients rights. https://cannabiswellnessgroup.com/professionals/dr-leah-johnson/ On September 28, 2021, Governor Newsom approved Senate Bill 311, better known as “Ryan’s Law.” The legislation requires hospitals and certain health facilities to allow terminally ill patients to use medical cannabis, subject to certain restrictions. Governor Newsom had previously vetoed a prior iteration of the bill (SB 305) in 2019, owing to fears that participating hospitals or hospices might jeopardize Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) reimbursements if they permitted medical cannabis onsite, as marijuana remains illegal under federal law. Sponsoring Senator Ben Hueso (D-San Diego) spoke to the repeated setbacks facing the legislation: “It is inconceivable to me that, in a state where medical cannabis was legalized more than 25 years ago, those in deepest suffering receiving treatment in our state’s healthcare facilities cannot access this proven, effective, and prescribed treatment.”
