    Regain Peace and Harmony

    This week the BrainTap Business Journal Podcast is proud to introduce Dr. Carol Francis. Dr. Francis has 40 years of experience working with adults, couples, parents, families and companies to make life happen the way they envision it, but her passion is helping people recover from traumatic incidents in their lives to regain peace and harmony within themselves and the world around them. This week we’ll be discussing Dr. Francis’s Recovery After Trauma Work for Healthcare Workers. We are all living in a time of anxiousness and upset, but healthcare workers in particular are being exposed to massive amounts of trauma that affects their lives in and out of the workplace. These heroes are being exposed to medical emergencies, natural disasters, mass shootings, bombings, floods, death as a matter of routine–and are expected to maintain professionalism and composure throughout. But what happens when they go home and have to live life with families and friends who don’t understand the toll these traumas take on healthcare worker’s lives? It has become Dr. Francis’s mission to help these healthcare workers recover from the trauma of their jobs and address the special needs these workers have. Dr. Francis has written 19 books—eight of which are dedicated to trauma recovery. She shares the tools needed to help healthcare workers maintain peace and harmony in the face of daily exposure to extreme levels of stress. What You’ll Learn in this Podcast: -How to live life not centered in trauma. -How to recognize the symptoms of trauma and overcome them. -How to get your life back after trauma in healthcare and experience inner peace, a trauma free life, deep sleep. -How to work with and repair family and friend relationships in the wake of trauma incidents. -What compassion fatigue and secondary traumatic stress are and how to overcome them. -What learned helplessness is and how to move past it. -How you can get free access to Dr. Francis’s courses to create peace in your life after trauma.

    Protect Yourself with the Air and Surface Pro ActivePure System

    This BrainTap Business Journal Podcast is a timely one. While we wait out COVID-19, we are all looking for ways to protect our health. Dr. Porter and Dr. Kelly Miller got together to discuss one simple, practical way to stay healthy. This conversation originated as a Facebook Live, but we felt it was important to get this information out to as many BrainTappers as possible. Dr. Kelly Miller is a 1980 Graduate of Logan University of Health Sciences in Missouri where he received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree. He is certified in Industrial/Occupational health from Northwestern Chiropractic College, worked as an ergonomic and safety consultant and after-care doctor for many corporations in the Kansas City area and is a Fellow of the Acupuncture Society. Dr. Miller is also a Naturopathic Medical Doctor and has a fellowship in Aging and Regenerative Medicine. He has been in clinical practice for over 38 years. He’s an international lecturer and author of more than seven books. In these uncertain times, we are all concerned about staying healthy and free of viruses. Dr. Miller has done extensive research on the new Air and Surface Pro with the ActivePure System. This system is not an air purifier that you can buy from Wal-Mart. It’s an air and surface scrubber that contains NASA Space Certified technology and is in process of FDA approval. Listen in how to hear how you can benefit from this amazing technology in your own home. What you’ll Learn in this Podcast: • How the ActivePure System can rid every surface in your home of 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, mold and more within 15 minutes and 99.9999% within an hour. • How this system turns oxygen and humidity in your air into hydrogen peroxide molecules called Peroxyls that bind with mold, mycotoxins, bacteria, viruses, dander, allergens and other contaminants and render them inert. • How the air in your home can be up to 800x more toxic than the air outside and what to do about it. • How this system can help rid you of chronic inflammation, which is the cause of many health conditions.
