]]> Wooden Nickel Ventures, LLC info@bookrevision.com Guest Host Becca Spahr - Rethinking Your Friendships with Jessie Lewis In this episode, guest host Becca Spahr sits down with social health entrepreneur and coach Jessie Lewis, founder of Friend On Call, to explore the science and strategy behind meaningful human connection. With a background in biology and a deep understanding of behavioral patterns, Jessie brings a refreshing, practical lens to something many adults struggle with: friendship. Together, they unpack what it really means to be self-aware about your social health: recognizing your patterns, understanding your mindset, and taking ownership of the choices you make in your relationships. Jessie challenges listeners to move out of passive thinking (“Why don’t I have better friendships?”) and into intentional action (“What kind of social life do I want to create?”). This conversation also normalizes something we don’t talk about enough: not every friendship is meant to be deep, lifelong, or “best friend” level - and that’s okay! Learning to be present, appreciate different types of connections, and release unrealistic expectations can completely change how we experience relationships. Most importantly, Jessie offers a powerful reminder: you have to be willing to put yourself out there. When you believe you matter, and when you know your worth, you show up differently. And that courage? It’s often the missing piece in building the kind of friendships you actually want. If you’ve ever felt stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to build meaningful relationships as an adult, this episode will give you both the mindset shift and the motivation to start. Today's Guest Jessie Lewis is a social health entrepreneur and coach focused on the science and strategy of human connection. With a background in biology and a deep interest in behavioral patterns, she created Friend On Call, where she delivers personalized, science-informed pep talks that help adults regulate stress, clarify decisions, and restore emotional momentum using principles from biology and behavioral science. https://www.friendoncall.org/  https://www.instagram.com/friendoncallorg/ About Becca Becca Spahr, MA, CLC, is a social wellness coach and speaker who believes connection is a skill anyone can master (yes, even people who think people are too people-y). After moving 26 times as a military kid and later as a U.S. Marine, she knows firsthand that likability, authenticity, and intention can create belonging anywhere. Becca continues to serve, partnering with veteran-serving organizations to equip veterans and their families to find friendship, expand networks, and reclaim belonging after service.

]]> 1949 no Lifelong Caregiving with Laura Orrico Today’s Guest Laura Orrico is a versatile SAG-AFTRA actress known for her impeccable comedic timing and dramatic range, which have made her a sought-after talent in the industry. With work spanning both film and television, she has built an impressive career with notable roles on hit shows such as CBS’s Kevin Can Wait, The King of Queens, CSI: Miami, FOX’s That ’70s Show, and That Show Tonight. Laura was also a series regular on Frank TV on TBS, where her sharp wit was seen nationwide. Her work extends beyond television, with recent film credits including The Buddy Cop (2024), God’s Fool (2020), and Brennan (2016), seen in theaters and on Netflix and Amazon. Her comedic talents gained fame on the internet, as her self-produced videos went viral, earning her featured status across multiple platforms. Her most successful internet sketch was developed by legendary director David Zucker (Airplane!, Naked Gun, etc.), in which she was aged 40 years for the role. In addition to her acting career, Laura is the founder of Laura Orrico Public Relations, LLC, a highly respected PR firm that represents high-profile clients across the country. Her public relations expertise gives her a unique understanding of the industry, both in front of and behind the camera, and draws attention to any project she is a part of. Behind the scenes, Laura’s personal story of resilience and perseverance shapes her deeply authentic performances. After the loss of her father at a young age, becoming a widow at 38, and now caring for her mother with MS and Parkinson’s, Laura brings raw, emotional depth to her characters. A true professional, Laura is known for being a “one-take wonder” and impressing directors with her preparation and dedication. She continues to power through successfully while handling so much and cementing her place as a dynamic talent in Hollywood and beyond. Her journey has also made her a compelling voice in the media, leading to interviews like her recent appearance on PBS’s nationally syndicated The Whitney Reynolds Show, where she shared her story of strength, reinvention, and finding purpose through adversity. Just recently, Laura decided to go public across her social media platforms with her journey of pursuing IVF solo using her late husband’s sperm. Her story has gained a lot of traction and support from women and even men! Laura has been featured in major publications including Vanity Fair, Deadline Hollywood, USA Today, Daily Mail, Forbes, Hollywood.com, has made recurring appearances on NTD News, and guested on TV shows such as Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld and Strictly Speaking with Bob Frantz. Her contributions to the industry continue to be recognized on television, radio shows, and podcasts across the country.

With work spanning both film and television, she has built an impressive career with notable roles on hit shows such as CBS’s Kevin Can Wait, The King of Queens, CSI: Miami, FOX’s That ’70s Show, and That Show Tonight.

Her work extends beyond television, with recent film credits including The Buddy Cop (2024), God’s Fool (2020), and Brennan (2016), seen in theaters and on Netflix and Amazon. Her comedic talents gained fame on the internet, as her self-produced videos went viral, earning her featured status across multiple platforms. Her most successful internet sketch was developed by legendary director David Zucker (Airplane!, Naked Gun, etc.), in which she was aged 40 years for the role.

In addition to her acting career, Laura is the founder of Laura Orrico Public Relations, LLC, a highly respected PR firm that represents high-profile clients across the country. Her public relations expertise gives her a unique understanding of the industry, both in front of and behind the camera, and draws attention to any project she is a part of.

Behind the scenes, Laura’s personal story of resilience and perseverance shapes her deeply authentic performances. After the loss of her father at a young age, becoming a widow at 38, and now caring for her mother with MS and Parkinson’s, Laura brings raw, emotional depth to her characters. A true professional, Laura is known for being a “one-take wonder” and impressing directors with her preparation and dedication. She continues to power through successfully while handling so much and cementing her place as a dynamic talent in Hollywood and beyond. Her journey has also made her a compelling voice in the media, leading to interviews like her recent appearance on PBS’s nationally syndicated The Whitney Reynolds Show, where she shared her story of strength, reinvention, and finding purpose through adversity. Just recently, Laura decided to go public across her social media platforms with her journey of pursuing IVF solo using her late husband’s sperm. Her story has gained a lot of traction and support from women and even men!

]]> 1898 My Two Elaines with Martin J. Schreiber Today's Guest Martin J. Schreiber is the former Wisconsin governor and is an award-winning crusader for Alzheimer's caregivers and persons with Dementia. You're reaching audiences nationwide at live events and through various forms of media. Marty uses humor and compassion as he shares lessons from his ongoing decade-plus journey as a caregiver. He speaks on tours at conferences, civic organizations, senior communities, libraries, and much more around the country. He has given more than 600 presentations since launching his awareness campaign in 2016. Whether in Texas, Idaho, New York, Missouri, Florida, Ohio, or even closer to home, caregivers tell Marty that his message gives them encouragement and hope that they can manage their challenging situation. Marty's book, My Two Elaine's: Learning, Coping, and Surviving as an Alzheimer's Caregiver, is a winning acclaim from caregivers across the country. It was rated as the number 11 best Alzheimer's book of all time by bookauthority.org and was named to the caring.com list of best caregiving books of both 2017 and 2018. Now in its fourth print edition, My Two Elaine's has been released as an e-book, an audio book, and on CD. Net proceeds are used to promote Alzheimer's caregiving support. While writing My Two Elaine's and while still caring for his wife at home, Marty helped the Alzheimer's Association launch Operation Stronger Together in 2015. This multi-year awareness program has helped the southeastern Wisconsin chapter connect record numbers of families to education and resources that are vital to successful caregiving. He's also collaborated with Wisconsin state government and various business groups to help create the online dementia-friendly employer's toolkit, which is now used as a human resources department and employee assistance programs. These initiatives have led to Marty being recognized with awards from Alzheimer's associations and other organizations. Marty and his wife Elaine, who passed away in 2022, are parents of four children and they have 13 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. https://mytwoelaines.com/ About Dr. Raj Dr Raj is a quadruple board certified physician and associate professor at the University of Southern California.

]]> 3502 Recognizing Caregiving Youth with Connie Siskowski Today's Guest President of the American Association of Caregiving Youth, Connie was educated at Johns Hopkins and New York University, she obtained her PhD in 2004 from Lynn University to have a bigger voice for family caregivers. Connie never expected her doctoral research to uncover the high prevalence of family health situations and concomitant caregiving with detrimental academic effects upon children in Palm Beach County. Her broad background in healthcare and dedication to diminishing caregiver isolation and struggles led to the 1998 establishment of what is now the American Association for Caregiving Youth. It includes the Caregiving Youth Project, the first US program to support the hidden population of child caregivers. Her dream is for all family caregivers to be honored and respected but especially youth for their contributions to family and to society; no child in the US should have to drop out of school because he or she has to care for a family member. In June of 2009, Connie was awarded a lifetime Ashoka Fellowship and in October 2009 she became one of 10 Purpose Prize winners, a national endeavor honoring persons over 60 years of age who initiated an innovative solution for social change. In September 2010 The Johns Hopkins University Alumni Association presented her with The Distinguished Alumna Award. In 2011 AACY won the Palm Beach County Medical Society’s Heroes in Medicine Award for Community Outreach and later that year Connie was named a Woman of Grace by Bethesda Hospital Foundation. During May 2012 she was named a CNN Hero and in September was one the Top Ten Heroes for 2012. https://aacy.org/ About Dr. Raj Dr Raj is a quadruple board certified physician and associate professor at the University of Southern California.

To put it simply, without enough sleep, the brain cannot function properly, with sleep deficiency linked to many chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, stroke, heart disease, dementia and Alzheimer’s. Unfortunately, most adults — especially women from midlife on — experience difficulty sleeping at some point in their lives, and for many, sleep quality can get worse with age.

]]> 2305 Caregiving Insights with Alex and John Today's Episode Dr. Raj is joined by Todd Keitz of the “Caregiving Insights” podcast to talk with father/daughter duo Alex and John about their joint adventures working together as EMTs in Connecticut.  Today’s Guest Alex is about to finish up her Neuroscience degree at Middlebury College with a minor in Theatre. During her time as a student, Alex took off a semester to work as a medical assistant at a local hospital in Vermont to help alleviate the staffing issues with the COVID-19 pandemic. Outside of medicine, Alex performs with an improv comedy troupe and an acapella group on campus and has starred in the occasional short film. We often hear of a child following a parent’s footsteps by going into the family business or going into the same line of work. That being said, it's probably less likely you've heard of a daughter or son becoming an EMT because their dad was an EMT - and following in her dad's footsteps she also became an EMT at the age of 16. John spent his professional career in advertising and marketing in the US and Europe, but always had an interest in medicine and first aid. It wasn't until his kids were in high school that he felt he could take the time to become an EMT. Fortunately, the Wilton Volunteer Ambulance Corps in Wilton, CT sponsors two EMT classes a year for its residents. John completed the course and became a licensed EMT and NREMT in December of 2016. He went on to volunteer for the next six years including the intense period during the COVID-19 lockdown in the New York area. John also served as Secretary and President of the Wilton Corps of EMTs. Training young EMTs is a central objective to WVAC, and unlike many services, the group accepts EMTs as young as 16 years old. Last year, John and his wife bought a small inn on Cape Cod and had to leave WVAC. He will never forget how much he learned and grew through serving as an EMT including the notable life experience and sharing several shifts on the ambulance with his daughter Alex.  About Dr. Raj Dr Raj is a quadruple board certified physician and associate professor at the University of Southern California.

]]> 2200 Alzheimer's Disease Genetic Research with Dr. Rudy Tanzi Today's Episode Dr. Raj talks with Dr. Rudy Tanzi about his work in Alzheimer's Disease research, his acronym SHIELD for evading its progression, and how his background as a musician has intersected with this work.  Today’s Guest Dr. Tanzi is the Vice-Chair of Neurology, Director of the Genetics and Aging Research Unit, Co-Director of the Henry and Allison McCance Center for Brain Health, and Co-Director of the MassGeneral Institute for Neurodegenerative Disease at Massachusetts General Hospital. He also serves as the Joseph P. and Rose F. Kennedy Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Tanzi received his BS (microbiology) and BA (history) at the University of Rochester in 1980 and his PhD (neurobiology) at Harvard Medical School in 1990. Dr. Tanzi co-discovered the first Alzheimer’s disease (AD) gene, the amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene, and the two other early-onset familial AD genes, presenilin 1 and presenilin 2. As leader of the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund Alzheimer’s Genome Project, Dr. Tanzi identified several other AD genes, including CD33, the first AD gene shown to regulate neuroinflammation. He also discovered the Wilson’s disease gene and other neurological disease genes. Dr. Tanzi’s team was the first to use human stem cells to create three-dimensional neural-glial; cell culture organoids of AD, dubbed “Alzheimer’s-in-a-Dish”. This model was the first to recapitulate all three key AD pathological hallmarks in vitro, and first to definitively show that amyloid plaques directly cause neurofibrillary tangles - and also made drug screening for AD faster and more cost-effective. Using this system, Dr. Tanzi has developed several novel therapies for AD including gamma secretase modulators targeting amyloid pathology and AMX0035, which was already successful in a clinical trial of ALS and now seeking FDA approval. Dr. Tanzi also discovered that beta-amyloid plays a functional role in the brain as an anti-microbial peptide, supporting a role for infection in AD pathology. Dr. Tanzi serves as Chair of the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund Research Leadership Group and numerous advisory and editorial boards. He has been named to TIME magazine’s list of TIME100 Most Influential People in the World. Dr. Tanzi is a New York Times bestselling author who has co-authored the books Decoding Darkness, and the bestsellers Super Brain, Super Genes, and The Healing Self with Dr. Deepak Chopra. Dr. Tanzi has hosted several shows on public television, regularly appears on television news programs, and has testified to Congress on both Alzheimer’s disease and brain health.

]]> 3093 Styling Your Home with Vintage Furniture Pieces with Valerie Hernandez Today's Episode Dr. Raj talks with Valerie Hernandez about her journey into the world of interior design, sourcing vintage home pieces for her company, and how her background as a nurse highlighted how much living spaces impact our well-being.  Today’s Guest Valerie Hernandez is a registered nurse, wife and mom of two toddler boys. She started her career in the healthcare field as that was your dream since the age of 13 and remains a big part of who she is today. Soon after becoming a nurse, she and her husband bought their first home in 2016 and have completely renovated it from top to bottom. As a nurse, she learned firsthand how our exterior spaces directly impact our daily lives and the importance of how the spaces in which we live make us feel. As many can relate during COVID, she and her husband realized their home was missing that cohesive, curated, and timeless feeling. Her love for interior design, and more specifically secondhand vintage decor, became a much-needed creative outlet for her. After a hard day at the hospital, her new hobby of sourcing, researching, and mindfully selecting pieces for her home became a complete transformation of the way she views home style. She decided she wanted to make her passion more than just a hobby, so she started her own business Grounded Home Designs. Grounded Home Designs brings you a refreshing take on mixing old with new. They have interior decorating services to carefully sourced high quality vintage pieces for others to enjoy. “We believe in creating well-balanced spaces that bring Comfort function in a curated space for years to come. Our goal as a company is to reduce waste by rehoming high quality vintage pieces and helping others to find joy in styling their home. We approach our design and sourcing process with mindfulness, and can't wait to see what is to come as this is just the beginning”  Grounded Home Designs Website Instagram  About Dr. Raj Dr Raj is a quadruple board certified physician and associate professor at the University of Southern California.

]]> 2872 Creator of My Care Friends, Todd Keitz Today's Episode Dr. Raj talks with Todd Keitz, the creator of My Care Friends, a community of advocates for patients and caregivers. Together, they delve into their own caregiving journeys, shedding light on the significance of advocacy in fostering empathy and enhancing mutual understanding within the healthcare sphere.  Today’s Guest  Todd has been a lifelong social good evangelist! His personal ethos is “Paying It Forward” in a myriad of ways. He has woven community engagement and social impact into his life since he was a teenager volunteering in senior living centers. Over decades, he has created intergenerational programs to build bridges within families and communities, volunteered as a strategist and “hugger” for Special Olympics, developed business curriculum for high schools, taught for Junior Achievement within intercity Philadelphia, and been a group mentor for Big Brothers Big Sisters. Through all of this, Todd became even more driven to translate his personal ethos on a much larger scale within his professional life. In 2012, he co-founded and served as CEO of Stock4Good, to make the process infinitely easier for individuals to donate stock of publicly held companies to 501(c)3 organizations. In 2018, he relocated to Florida to become caregiver and patient advocate for his mom and dad – each with life threatening diseases. During those experiences, Todd saw first-hand the many challenges all caregivers and patient advocates face. That led him to create My Care Friends, a unique web app for caregivers and patient advocates to connect and support each other. Additionally, Todd is Founder/CEO of 17 Commerce, which represents products at the crossroads of healthcare and technology. In addition to his role with AACY, he currently serves on the board of Say Ah! – a health literacy nonprofit changing the way people think about their health and healthcare, and the way the healthcare system interacts with the people who need it.

]]> 2216 Spiritual Anatomy & The Heartfulness Movement with Kamlesh Patel (Daaji) Today's Episode Dr. Raj talks with Kamlesh D. Patel (Daaji), delving into his journey from a pharmacist to an advocate of heartfulness meditation. They explore how he incorporated this practice into his daily routine and went on to initiate a global movement, empowering individuals worldwide to embrace heartfulness. Today’s Guest  Born in Gujarat in 1956, Kamlesh D. Patel (Daaji) displayed an early interest in meditation and spirituality. He started Heartfulness Meditation at the age of nineteen while studying to be a pharmacist. Soon after, he met his first Guru, Babuji, the second guide in the Heartfulness lineage. After graduating with honors from L.M. College of Pharmacy in Ahmedabad, Daaji married and moved to New York City. There, he and his wife raised their two sons, while he steadily built a successful pharmacy business. At the same time, Daaji continued to pursue his love of meditation as a devoted disciple of Babuji’s successor, Chariji. Over the years, Daaji played an increasingly active role in the Heartfulness Movement, both organisationally and by spreading its message and teaching its method. In 2011, Chariji selected Daaji as his spiritual successor. As the leader of the Heartfulness Movement, Daaji now fulfills the many duties of a modern-day guru, traveling widely and extending his support to seekers everywhere. Daaji firmly believes in nourishing today’s youth with practical self-management tools and universal values. Under his guidance, students and faculty in over 2,500 schools, universities, and colleges are now benefitting from a portfolio of value-based self-development programs. As a self-professed student of spirituality, Daaji devotes much of his time and energy to his personal research in the field of spirituality and consciousness, and regularly shares his findings through public speaking engagements, his website, and social media platforms, and in broadcast, print, and digital media. Daaji’s articles have appeared in various leading publications including Huffington Post, Chicago Tribune, Times of India, and Business Standard. His well-received Radio City Swaran series, Dil Ki Awaaz, ran for twelve episodes. Daaji advocates bridging ancient tradition with modern scientific understanding and has assembled a team of one hundred scientists to research the physiological and genetic effects of meditation and yogic transmission. As he often says, “You are the experimenter, the experiment, and also its result.” Learn more about Daaji’s practice here About Dr. Raj Dr Raj is a quadruple board certified physician and associate professor at the University of Southern California.

]]> 1755 Non-Traditional Approaches to Post-Concussion Syndrome with Dr. Khankhanian Today's Episode Dr. Raj talks with Dr. Khankhanian about how Chiropractic and Neurology have intertwined in his medical practice, the unique challenges that come up with each phenotype of concussion, and how holistic and Western medicine coexist in his own practice to find non-traditional ways of treating Post-Concussion Syndrome.  Today’s Guest  Dr. Joseph Khankhanian was born and raised in the suburbs of Los Angeles, California, where he completed and received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology/BioEthics from American Jewish University. Dr. Khankhanian has always been passionate about natural medicine and holistic approaches to managing health. This is why he decided to continue his education and complete his graduate studies at Life Chiropractic College West in the San Francisco Bay Area. There, he received his Doctorate in Chiropractic and decided to continue his postdoctoral studies at the Carrick Institute. He further specialized in Clinical Neuroscience and received his Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board (DACNB). He has taken over 400 hours of coursework on neurological rehabilitation and Functional Medicine/Nutrition, and is currently in pursuit of a Fellowship in Clinical Neurochemistry and Nutrition (FABNN). With his extensive doctorate and post-doctorate training, Dr. Khankhanian has helped many patients return to or find their optimal selves without drugs or surgery. He has worked through many challenging cases and has achieved remarkable results with his patients. He specializes in Traumatic Brain Injury, Migraines & Headaches, Dizziness & Vertigo, Developmental Disorders, Chronic Pain, and Autoimmune & Metabolic Illnesses. As a "Root Cause" clinician, his only goal is to help his patients find the source of their issues and to fix it permanently. Every patient is unique, and by using the latest research-grade technology, he is able to create a care plan that is tailored to each patient. Instead of taking the batteries out of the smoke alarm, Dr. Khankhanian looks to put out the fire. Dr. Khankhanian's core belief is that holistic care is the future of medicine. His mission is to share his knowledge and practices of this life changing medicine with his patients. When he's not in the office, Dr. Khankhanian enjoys playing golf, singing, riding bikes, watching NBA, playing board games, and working out. He loves dogs and has a Maltipoo of his own named Oscar.

]]> 3385 Living Longer and Better with Dr. Rand McClain Today's Episode Dr. Raj talks with Dr. Rand McClain about his athletic background and many different career paths and how they led to his interest in Anti-Aging medicine and how to improve longevity and performance in our lives.  Today’s Guest  Though nutrition and wellness have been ingrained in Dr. Rand McClain since childhood, his journey to becoming a leader in alternative and progressive medical treatments has been anything but orthodox. From being the earliest promoted to senior account manager in Deloitte’s history at the time, to his stint as a professional boxer in Argentina, to being accepted to medical school at age 37 after being repeatedly told it was impossible, Dr. Rand has never been a fan of the “status quo”. Dr. Rand’s patients (many of which are A-List celebrities and world-class athletes) come to his practice, Regenerative and Sports Medicine, in search of the innovative treatments in which he specializes. From bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), hyperbaric oxygen therapy, cryotherapy, platelet rich plasma and stem cell therapies, Dr. Rand has dedicated the past 35 years to redefining what it means to be in optimal health. Dr. McClain earned his medical degree at Western University and completed his internship at the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine Residency Program (U.S.C. California Hospital) and has worked with some of the best and original innovators in Sports, Rejuvenative, Regenerative (“Anti-Aging”), Cosmetic and Family Medicine.

While her first love was ballet, she knew she was going to be in a band after hearing The Specials for the first time at 13. At 19, after singing in an all-girls ska band and Zappa-inspired experiment called Larry, Monique found herself singing in an Orange County ska band called Save Ferris. Little did she know, she was living smack in the middle of a music phenomenon. Save Ferris was part of what soon became known as the third wave of ska music. Within months, Save Ferris was signed to Epic Records and spent the following years touring the world.  In 2013, Monique acquired full ownership of the band name. Under her leadership, Monique has been riding higher than ever, shimmying, burlesquing, and belting her way from stage to stage and country to country spreading her gospel. Monique being a survivor of many things, her life goal is to help and to heal.  Save Ferris is performing at House of Blues Anaheim on November 18, 2022!

]]> 2122 Bariatric Surgery & Overcoming Weight-Related Diseases with Dr. Justin Braverman Today's Episode Dr. Raj talks with Dr. Justin Braverman about the different types of bariatric surgeries and how they help patients overcome weight-related diseases, as well as common misconceptions about weight-loss surgery.  Today's Guest Dr. Braverman is the Director of Bariatric Surgery at PIH Health in Whitter, CA. Becoming a doctor was always what Dr. Braverman wanted to do. When asked why Dr. Braverman chose Bariatric Surgery as a career he stated, “It provides me with the opportunity to not only help patients lose a significant amount of weight, but to also potentially cure their weight related diseases. Really though, it gives patients a second chance at a healthier life. Surgical weight loss increases energy, improves appearance and most importantly, dramatically improves the patient’s quality of life. I truly love what I do.”  Dr. Braverman enjoys the continuity of care that comes with Bariatric Surgery as he gets to know his patients through their weight loss journey. Having performed over 3,000 bariatric operations with extremely low complication rates and no deaths, he is one of the most experienced and safest weight loss surgeons in California. Dr. Braverman’s hobbies include physical fitness, oil painting, gardening, and playing softball. Most of all, he loves spending time with his wife and young children and enjoys taking advantage of living in sunny, Southern California.

]]> 2604 Dismantling Stigmas About Disabilities with Candace Cable Today's Episode Dr. Raj talks with Candace Cable about her life and journey after becoming disabled from a spinal cord injury early in her life. She talks about advocating for disabled persons, the history of disability rights in the United States, and her motivation and influence to become an athlete.   Today's Guest Candace is an active native Angeleno who sustained a spinal cord injury in a car accident in 1975 at the age of 21. The injury upended her entire body/mind system and made her a part of the diverse disabled community. Candace is a celebrated athlete: she is a 9-time Winter & Summer Paralympian, a 12-time medalist in 3 sports, a winner of 84 marathons, including 6 Boston Marathons, and a US Olympic & Paralympic Hall of Famer. She has realized that her sport platform is the perfect platform to dismantle ableism, racism, and the negative stigmas that people with disabilities experience in daily life. Candace advocates domestically and globally for opportunities and human rights for all people. She has worked with the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, Open Doors organization, UNICEF, the US State Department Speaker and Specialist program, Drunk History, and has served as the ADA lead on several productions. She was the Director of Paralympic and Disability Engagement on the LA2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games Bid organization. She regularly attends and participates at the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and in the 2030 sustainable development goals. Candace is currently working as the Head of Community & User Insights at Aurie, a startup company building reusable medical assets. She is also a board member of the US International Council on Disabilities, the Southern California Olympian and Paralympian Association, and a commissioner for the city of Los Angeles mayor's Disability Commission, as well as a volunteer wheelchair racing coach for Angel City Sports.

]]> 3123 How Do You Choose the Right Workout Routine with Rosa Acosta Today's Episode Dr. Raj talks with fitness star Rosa Acosta about how to get started working out and how to find a routine and schedule that works with your life.   Today's Guest For those who are into fitness and modeling Rose Acosta needs no introduction. The bold and beautiful Dominican wears many hats; she is a dancer, fitness guide, model, reality show star, and actress all squeezed into one. She describes herself as a ballet dancer, shower opera singer, and future chef. Born and raised in the Dominican Republic, she started Classical Ballet studies at the age of 4 in Centro De La Cultura in Santiago. She later moved on to the Instituto de Cultura y Arte (ICA) where she excelled as one of the most gifted students at the academy. She graduated with honors from ICA and the ballet school of Norma Garcia with a bachelor's degree in art with mentions in Classical Ballet. Rosa joined the Ballet Nacional Dominicano as the youngest soloist member in 2002. Rosa embarked on a modeling career in 2004 appearing in magazines, doing commercials, and very prestigious Dominican enterprises. In 2006 she decided to leave home and join her mother in the United States where she continues to work as a model and actress. Her career took a major turn when she taped a series of videos showcasing her exercise passion and flexibility as a professional dancer. These were called the stretching videos and they had millions of views on YouTube which launched her into the national spotlight, catching the attention of some of the super popular hip-hop and R&B artists such as Kanye West and Drake. She has also been featured in dozens of videos with other famous artists such as Chris Brown, 50 Cent, P Diddy, Busta Rhymes, and Snoop Dogg. The fitness star and entrepreneur recently launched a fitness clothing line called Body by Rosa Acosta, and she's also working on accompanying fitness videos to be released soon. She has also been on reality TV shows such as Love & Hip Hop Hollywood and Khloe and Lamar.  About Dr. Raj Dr Raj is a quadruple board certified physician and associate professor at the University of Southern California.

Armed with a masters in craniofacial biology from USC, a doctorate in dental surgery from UCLA, and a post-doctorate in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, he co-founded The Super Dentists—one of the country’s leading multi-specialty dental practices—with his business partner and wife, Dr. Nazli Keri. Over the last twenty-five years, The Super Dentists has been at the forefront of oral care innovation, utilizing the latest tools and techniques to provide patients with the safest, fastest, and most effective treatments ever. They even cut down the time it takes for braces to straighten teeth, thanks to Dr. Hoss’s invention of Acceledontics — a breakthrough system that realigns teeth in a fraction of the time required by traditional braces. Additionally, he sits on the Board of Counselors at UCLA School of Dentistry and is a highly sought-after expert who has been featured on NBC, ABC, FOX, CBS, and NPR affiliates nationally, as well as in hundreds of newspapers, magazines, and other media outlets.

]]> 3205 Coach Jasmine Moezzi: From Mathematics to Triathlons (Solve that Equation!) Today's Episode Dr. Raj meets with coach Jasmine Moezzi: a triathlete, an ironman certified coach, a certified nutritionist, and volunteer with KEEN (Kids Enjoy Exercise Now). About Coach Jasmine Coach Jasmine has always cared most about two things in life: creating community and helping others to the best of her ability. Growing up in the South Bay as a competitive figure skater and tennis player, she never discovered her true passion until joining the Triathlon Team at USC, where she graduated with a B.S. in Applied and Computational Mathematics. Without knowing how to swim or bike properly and having minimal running experience, she dedicated all her free time to training for her first triathlon. She originally started triathlon to help her cope with her chronic illness, but it ended up giving her so much more than she could have ever imagined. Fast forward 7 years and countless races later, she got her Ironman Coaching Certification and started coaching for multiple teams around the LA area. Having trained in the South Bay for the majority of her triathlon career, she realized a sense of community was greatly missing, so she decided to build her own team with the help of some athletes she had just started coaching in the area. She is now the proud Founder/President and Head Coach of the South Bay Squad, which has become far more than just her team, it’s her chosen family. For the past 6 years, she has been volunteering for Kids Enjoy Exercise Now (KEEN) LA, where they play sports with kids who have disabilities. She is a part of their coaches committee and teaches Zumba for the kids, parents, and volunteers. She has raised over $20k for KEEN by completing various races/challenges throughout the years, and now South Bay Squad will continue these fundraising efforts to raise as much money for the kids as possible.
