    382. Rare Connections with Alex Brito

    When Alex first noticed it, she was 12 years old. She thought she had something in her eye, and then suddenly she couldn’t see out of it. A few months later, she was playing softball and felt like she pulled a muscle in her neck that sent pain across her body. It took five years of misdiagnoses, with progressive blindness and paralysis, for Alex to finally be properly diagnosed. She had a rare disease called Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD). Alex joins us on the show today to share her journey with a rare disease and encourage others who are facing medical uncertainty. Today, she is the first blind woman ever to earn a yellow belt in Krav Maga and she’s a successful power lifter. Take a listen and be sure to check out her video with Alexion Pharmaceuticals, “Rare Connections.” The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway Have your voice heard. Really get out there and connect. Because you're not alone, there are others that are going through the journey. And just being able to share my story here with Alexion, with the movie, has been so helpful for me to be able to connect with others and grow friendships.  -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

    381. Getting Better: A Doctor's Story of Resilience, Recovery and Renewal with Dr. Andrew Kadar

    Dr. Andrew Kadar was a former UCLA gymnast, he ran 10ks, he had never smoked or been overweight. So when he suddenly had chest pain when exercising, he had no idea the health journey he was about to go on. Dr. Kadar is our guest on the show today and author of the new book, “Getting Better: A Doctor's Story of Resilience, Recovery and Renewal.” Dr. Kadar recounts the most important lessons he learned throughout his ordeal, starting with the call to his primary care doctor’s office, through his major surgery, to the active lifestyle he enjoys again today As Dr. Kadar points out, when you have a major illness, you have to expect the unexpected. However, thanks to his new book, now you can be at least a little more prepared. The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway If you're having symptoms, the best way to deal with them is to take it away from yourself. And there are twin dangers there. One is denial, which is you disregard something that's important. The other is becoming a hypochondriac and thinking everything is horrible. And by taking it away from yourself, you're likely to be more realistic. You're not gonna interpret a headache as a brain tumor. And you're not gonna disregard chest pain that comes up with exercise and goes away with rest. So I think that's one thing that I would like people to remember is that if they're having some symptoms, think about how you would advise your best friend or anybody else who came to you with the same set of symptoms and what you think they should do. as the wise scores of action.  -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

If you have felt busy, but not productive or fulfilled, this episode is for you. Rebecca is an expert on getting your mind, body, and soul aligned. The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway Humans are so incredibly powerful and capable of absolutely anything. The only limit is the limit that you place on yourself. And so having a victory mindset, right? Have the discipline, the integrity, the inspired action, and the grace. If you start to infuse these in your life, however slight, you're going to see change within yourself and everything around you, which is a crystallization of who you are. And that is what I would want all of your amazing listeners to really tap in to is that victory mindset. And you are capable of anything. And I mean anything that you put your mind to.  -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

    379. Spiritual Millionaire with Preston Smiles

    Today, Preston Smiles owns four houses, nice cars, big toys, and has a beautiful wife and four kids. But his life wasn’t always like this. At age 11, Preston was in a gang, smoking weed, and living inside a dysfunctional, impoverished family. Preston joins the show today to explain how he transformed his life and how others can do the same. Preston is an abundance and personal freedom coach. His latest book is “Spiritual Millionaire: Master the Seven Inner Laws for Abundance and Money.” On the show today, he shares with us how to align body, mind, and soul to manifest wealth. If you’re interested in changing your approach to prosperity, this is the episode for you. The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway You can't have what you want, but you may experience what you have. So make sure that on a day to day basis, you're actually operating from enough gratitude or you have the blinders off and you see what's really going on. Because we can all be bamboozled into the weapon of mass distraction, into consumerism, into chasing the next high. But the work is to get high on your own supply. Because from that space you get to have everything. It's all frequency. And so when I'm operating from the frequency of love and gratitude, it's easy. -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

    378. Walking Well with Bruce Fertman

    Bruce Fertman considers himself a “physiologian.” He studies the relationship between physical grace and spiritual graces. In this latest book, “Walking Well,” he shares what he has learned with his readers. Bruce is our guest on the show today. For 60 years, Bruce has trained in gymnastics, modern dance, ballet, contact improvisation, the Alexander technique, Tai Chi, Akido, Chanoyu, Argentine Tango, and Kyudo. He has learned how humans can feel better, physically and spiritually, through how they use their bodies. Bruce takes us through his newest book, “Walking Well.” Starting with the feet, the book teaches readers how to move better. He discusses proprioception, physical interaction with our environments, and how to achieve a sense of vitality. If you want to start feeling better, check out this episode! The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway At my age, I consider myself a young elder. And because my teachers taught into their 90s and even some into their hundreds. So I'm pretty young at 73. But I'm very ambitious for other people. I'm not very ambitious for myself. I've lived a really full life. I've had a wonderful career. So now I'm doing work. A lot of younger people are helping me in my work. I am so ambitious for them. I want them to do well. So I had a rabbi I studied with, Zalman Shachter, he wrote a book called From Aging to Saging. And I think elders need to make sure that they pass on what's valuable. And I think that's my main way of serving right now. The other thing that is important is this book, because I know- Michael and I know- so much about human movement in relation to the quality of life, that we wanna give that away as a present to people. And so that's another way that we're trying to serve. -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

    377. Charitable Impact with John Bromley

    The best donors are those who are the most proactive about pursuing causes that they really care about. John Bromley’s mission in life is to help charities by helping donors reach this level of emotional investment. John is the co-founder and CEO of Charitable Impact, and he is our guest on the podcast today. Charitable Impact is a donor advised fund. It helps connect people with causes they care about. Rather than reacting to whatever charitable campaign pops up in their lives, they can proactively invest in making the change they want to see in the world. John has helped guide over $1.2 billion in donations, not only changing the world for the better, but improving the lives of the donors themselves. As all the listeners of The Daily Helping know, in helping others, we help ourselves. The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway Everyone listening to this podcast cares about something changing, and I really want to encourage everyone listening just to take some time and think about what that is. Identify a short list of what that is and push yourself as to whether or not it's truly genuine. And then just take some small steps to do something about creating some change for that. And when you do, you're going to feel great about yourself and you're going to see some impact around you. You're going to meet some new friends. You're going to have some fun with life. And when you're thinking about a tool to help you get through that journey, if this is a charitable thing that we're talking about, really I encourage you to take a look at the Donor Advice Fund because it is a tool that's built for you, as the donor. -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

    375. In Remembrance: Radical Generosity with John Ruhlin

    This episode is a rebroadcast of an interview with John Ruhlin. John unexpectedly passed away recently. He leaves behind a wife and four young children. We’re rebroadcasting this episode to both remind us of the beautiful legacy John created, and to encourage listeners to consider donating to his children’s education fund. John truly cared about helping people and making the world better. His “Biggest Helping” advice was to give more than is reasonable. I hope you’ll join me in following his lead as we support his family during this heartbreaking time. The GoFundMe link is in the Resources section below. The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway You'll never regret giving more than is reasonable in most situations. People hold back five or ten percent in relationships. We don't want to be taken advantage of. We're afraid of getting hurt. Paul lived his life the exact opposite. He would he always asked himself, what's the most I can do in the situation? And when you live life like that you show up at a huge show up at pizza shop and he'd be like what's the most I can do here I can pick up the tab for the entire restaurant it's gonna cost 800 bucks but all the I love 90% of these people I know and I love and he would just do it that's just who he was and so I picked up that mentality and do I do it perfectly? No. Sometimes I suck sometimes my wife you know thinks I'm a jerk like I'm not perfect in it but the idea of giving more than is reasonable and going all in on people like that's where you separate yourself and give that, you know, everybody says go the extra mile, give 110%. But I don't think they actually actually live it. And they're willing to do that with their time and with their pocketbook. When you do that with whatever level you're at, people notice it shocks and awes them. You become memorable in their mind. And so I would say that give more than is reasonable is the thing that I've tried to live my life around and build my life on and it's it's paid back huge dividends and it's just fun. -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.
