Blue Soul CHATS‪™‬ Renee & Anthony, Blue Soul Earth® Founders

Renee chats with Dr. Dean Ornish about Heart Health, Prevention to most diseases and their program at PMRI Lifestyle Changes has even reversed diseases in many cases. We chat about his latest book, the important role of diet in the equation and other changes we can make to stay healthier and live well. It begs the question that so many ask about longevity and lengthening the time we live. Should we not also be asking, how well do we live when we are alive, not just how long? It’s a great discussion that extends beyond diet, exercise and lifestyle and also talks about meditation and still moments as a way to feel happier and stay well.

For over 44 years, Dean has directed clinical research demonstrating, for the first time, that comprehensive lifestyle changes may begin to reverse even severe coronary heart disease, without drugs or surgery.  Medicare created a new benefit category, “intensive cardiac rehabilitation,” to provide coverage for this program.  His research showed that comprehensive lifestyle changes affect gene expression, “turning on” disease-preventing genes and “turning off” genes that promote cancer and heart disease, as well as the first controlled study showing that these lifestyle changes may begin to reverse cellular aging by lengthening telomeres, the ends of our chromosomes which regulate aging (in collaboration with Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn, Nobel Laureate in Medicine & Physiology).

We chat with Carl about his latest books on slowing down as well as one on aging, the stigma we have around aging and how we can talk ourselves into getting old sooner. As voice of the Global Slow Movement, his two main-stage TED Talks have racked up millions of views. His TED Course is entitled How to slow down.

Carl travels the world to deliver powerful keynotes that put time and tempo in a whole new light.  Carl’s first book, In Praise of Slow, chronicles the global trend toward putting on the brakes in everything from work to food to parenting.  His book Under Pressure explores how to raise and educate children in a fast world and was hailed by Time as a “gospel of the Slow Parenting movement.” And his book Slow Fix, explores how to tackle complex problems in every walk of life, from health and relationships to business and politics, without falling for superficial, short-term quick fixes.

Tune in to a powerful conversation with Dr. Laura Esserman who is a master surgeon, physician and runs the breast cancer center at UCSF. She speaks to us about outdated systems for prevention and why things need to change both for prevention and treatment. During the past 30 years, most women in the United States have been recommended to have a mammogram every year. Over those same 30 years we have learned so much about the biology of the breast. We now know that women have different levels of risk for breast cancer, and that it is not simply one disease.  To counter this issue, she founded WISDOM Study – Women Informed to Screen Depending On Measures of risk, which is testing a personalized approach to screening compared to annual mammograms.

We learn about her journey since then and additional research which led her to write her latest book, The Power of Eight. In groups of eight, Lynne talks about the reciprocal healing that takes place even without intention or a belief that healing is possible. Powerful stories and experiences have led her to understand the magic of this so called “field” in which healing can be amplified in the right setting.
