Giving back to the community and having The Sufferfest reflect a philanthropic value has always been important to me along this journey. What began as a creative outlet allowed me to take my hobby and turn it into a career. Now playing in more than 50 countries, the population of Sufferlandria is growing each and every day. It’s a consistent reminder that the underlying mission of the Sufferfest is to make people proud of themselves, and proud to be a part of the community surrounding it.As a former investment banker, I came up with the idea for the Sufferfest while living in Zurich. At the time, I was training for cyclosportives and was bored with using the same turbo trainer. I tried everything – television, cycling DVDs, movies, and I just couldn’t get m

Global TRASHformation: How to Save the Planet, One Piece of Litter at a TimeTo most there may be little regard for what happens to the stuff we use once we’re finished using it, whether it’s a disposable plate, fork, bottle, straw, wrapper or cigarette butt. To some it seems that if it’s out of sight, it’s out of mind and of no further consequence. The reality is far from that. There are great consequences to one-use items.Approximately 12.5 million tons of trash enter the oceans from land each year. The trash ends up in one of five gyres and continues to collect, circling around and around within the currents.SusieQ Wood is committed to changing that statistic. She does this by picking up one piece of litter at a time and inspiring others to do the same. It’s part of her Global TRASHformation movement, consciously started in 2012, with the picking up of rusty materials in the streets and alleyways. The seeds for this movement came from her childhood where her father introduced the idea “leave the place in be

How well we learn to navigate them directly corresponds to how well we live our lives, how happy and fulfilled we feel.Human reactivity is the source of most of our interpersonal problems and pain. The 3 Dimensions of Emotions introduces the concept of working the triangle, a unique practice that provides a compelling yet practical road map that can help you move from painful reactivity to productive pro-activity in your relationships.

Homeopathic remedies are centuries old effective tools to keep the body healthy and to fight disease. They are the first line of defense in keeping people healthy without harmful side effects.The history of modern homeopathic medicine begins with a German physician, Samuel Hahnemann. But the homeopathic concept is thousands of years old, based on the law of similars. Hippocrates described this principle. Many cultures including Native Americans, Chinese, Greeks, Mayans and Asians used this law to provide and maintain health. Hahnemann was the first to organize the law of similars into a methodical medical science.Governments around the world including the United States recognize modern homeopathy as a medical science. Other countries that recognize homeopathy include India, South Africa, Great Britain, Canada, Italy, Germany and many others.

Joanne Halbrecht, MD joins Mark Alyn on the Late Night Health Show to talk about alternatives to orthopedic surgery. Dr. Halbrecht is a board certified orthopedic surgeon and has implemented stem cell therapy in her practice.Dr. Habrecht discusses hip replacement surgery in older people and how this greatly affects their lives. When someone in their 70's has a hip fracture it changes the level of their independence. One thing that can prevent hip fractures is good calcium while you are younger because this can prevent osteoporosis as we age.Mark and Dr Halbrecht talk about the AlignMed posture shirt and how it can help your posture. This shirt puts the shoulder blades in a more correct position and created better posture. This stimulates the muscle to fire to keep the posture and the other muscles to relax. The AlignMed posture shirt is an alternative to taping. Strengthening the core muscles can also help with posture to hold the shoulders up. Some insurances will cover the cost of the posture shirt.

It’s no secret…when people pull together for a common cause or goal the results can improve your health. Many years ago I worked in the Correctional System with young offenders. To provide the custodial care and therapeutic treatment to help these young people improve their lives post incarceration, collaboration was key, and it actually had a ripple effect. Not only was the young offender better served, the impacts rippled over to the youth’s family. Fast forward several years when I worked in the health care system, on a psychiatry unit. The level of collaboration within the health care system, inclusion of alternative health and wellness services, the family, school and other key players in the patient’s life helped ensure the best care possible. When I opened my business I made collaboration one of the foundations upon which my business was built. I collaborate on many projects, one being the Global Influence Summit (GIS).
