Send us Fan Mail Cindy has been helping both men and women for over 20 years who were sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.    She’s a functional medicine practitioner/nutritionist whose specialty is digestion, thyroid, blood work, and women in their menopause years. It’s her goal to educate and empower women to advocate for themselves. Visit www.gethellohealth.com   Cindy received her BS degree in Dietetics many moons ago and then found Functional Medicine over 23 years ago when she was going through a very difficult time in her life- her digestive system was rebelling like a teenager, and was thrown into an early menopause at the age of 43. Since that time, she’s never looked back and has helped 100’s of clients heal through the functional medicine lens.    One of Cindy’s super powers is to research, connect the dots, listen and to teach. She likes to dig deep. She doesn’t take things at face value. She’s happiest when she’s in front of an audience, even an audience of one.   Along with helping her ladies in her 1:1 telehealth practice, she offers courses, lab work assessments and teaches yoga. She’s also a mom and grandma.   Her main goal is to help women have the ability to be their own healthcare advocate.     Website alivingbalance.net https://alivingbalance.net  Instagram @cindy_dupuie https://www.instagram.com/cindy_dupuie/ Video: What End Is Up When It Comes To HRT https://youtu.be/A-jMfvQifjo YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@alivingbalance Signature Course: Grace In Transition for Women Of A Certain Age   Support the show

Send us Fan Mail Dr. Rob Scheer  Founder & CEO, Comfort Cases | Foster Care Advocate | CNN Hero | Author | National Speaker | Father  At any given time, more than 390,000 youth are in foster care in the United States. Nearly 700 children enter the system each day — and many arrive with their belongings in a trash bag.  Rob Scheer knows this reality firsthand.  As a teenager, after leaving the abusive home of his birth parents, Rob entered foster care in Virginia carrying his possessions in a torn trash bag. When he turned 18, his foster parents told him he had “aged out” and could no longer stay, as they were no longer receiving the government stipend that supported his placement. The home he had trusted was, in that moment, no longer a home. He left carrying that same trash bag and became homeless while still a senior in high school.  After finding the grit to graduate high school while still homeless, Rob joined the United States Navy. He has often shared that he enlisted not out of patriotism at the time, but because the Navy offered something he desperately needed: a place to sleep and three meals a day. Following his military service, he built a successful career in banking before he and his husband Reece began growing their family through foster care adoption.  Two children joined their home first. Just months later, two more siblings arrived. Years after that, their fifth child came home at age 18.  Each child arrived the same way Rob had decades earlier — carrying their belongings in trash bags.  Forty years had passed. Nothing had changed. Children in foster care were still being handed trash bags to carry the few possessions that represented their entire lives.  That realization became the catalyst for Comfort Cases.  Founder & CEO, Comfort Cases  In December 2013, the Scheer family hosted their first “Packing Party,” assembling backpacks filled with new pajamas, books, blankets, and essential personal care items for children entering foster care. Shortly thereafter, Comfort Cases was established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.  Today, Comfort Cases has distributed more than 320,000 Comfort Cases® and Comfort XL Duffle Bags to youth in foster care across all 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom.  While the organization is widely known for replacing trash bags with backpacks and duffels, its broader mission is advancing dignity within the foster care system. Under Rob’s leadership, Comfort Cases has evolved from a grassroots initiative into a respected national voice for foster care reform and child welfare advocacy.  The backpacks are visible. The dignity is transformational.  National Recognition & Media  Rob’s advocacy has been recognized nationally and internationally, including:  ·       ●  Named a CNN Hero (2018)  ·       ●  Frequent appearances on national media including The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Today,  The View, and CBS Evening News (“Eye on America”)  ·       ●  Featured in Bryce Dallas Howard’s AppleTV+ documentary Dads  ·       ●  Featured in the HBO Max documentary Somewhat Familiar with Pedro Andrade  In 2017, an Upworthy video sharing Rob’s story received more than 150 million views, becoming one of the most watched videos in the platform’s history.  Author, Podcast Host & Speaker  Rob is the author of A Forever Family: Fostering Change One Child at a Time and the host of the award-winning podcast Fostering Change, now in its seventh season.  A nationally sought-after keynote speaker, Rob addresses foster care, resilience, nonprofit leadership, community responsibility, and youth dignity. In 2022, he received an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Lynn University and delivered the university’s commencement address — a moment he describes as both surreal and deeply meaningful. He is quick to add, however, that even with a doctorate, he still occasionally struggles with the difference between “there,” “they’re,” and “their.”  Personal Life  Rob lives in Maryland on a small farm with his husband Reece, their five children, and an assortment of animals including dogs, goats, chickens, and a pig named Penelope.  His mission remains simple and urgent: No child entering foster care should ever have to carry their life in a trash bag.  Visit www.gethellohealth.com  @hellohealthnutrition on instagram, YouTube, Facebook and TikTok   Support the show

Send us Fan Mail  Benjamin Knight Fuchs, R.Ph Pharmacist,  Nutritionist , Formulator , Educator , Host of The Bright Side Benjamin Knight Fuchs, R.Ph, is a registered pharmacist, clinical nutritionist, skincare formulator, and internationally recognized educator who has spent over 40 years transforming the way estheticians, dermatology professionals, and health seekers think about skin. With a background in compounding pharmacy and a deep understanding of nutritional biochemistry, Benjamin brings a unique systems-based perspective to skincare, one that connects the dots between internal health, topical delivery, and cellular repair. As the founder and formulator of Truth Treatment Systems, Benjamin created a skincare philosophy rooted in transdermal delivery, nutrient density, and bioelectric coherence. His formulations contain no fillers, waxes, preservatives, or cosmetic additives only 100% active, skin-communicative ingredients that nourish the cell from the outside in. Products like his Transdermal C Serum and Retinol 5% are beloved by skincare professionals for their visible results and intelligent design each product acts as topical nutrition, feeding skin cells what they need to energize, rebuild, and renew. But Benjamin’s work goes far beyond the bottle. He teaches that skin conditions are never just skin-deep they are often the visible expression of what he calls the Triangle of Disease: digestive breakdown, blood sugar imbalance, and chronic stress hormone dysfunction. Through this model, he empowers estheticians to think holistically, helping clients address the internal drivers of acne, aging, sensitivity, and pigmentation with strategic, science-based guidance. Central to his philosophy is the concept of "dirty blood “a state of internal toxicity and inflammation that burdens the skin as a secondary eliminator. His protocols focus on improving digestion, nourishing the blood with oxygen and micronutrients, and calming systemic stress to restore balance at the root level. Benjamin’s passion for education has made him one of the most trusted voices in the esthetics community. He is a sought-after public speaker, a long-time radio host of “The Bright Side”, and the creator of numerous skin health seminars, esthetician trainings, and professional development courses. With clarity, humor, and clinical precision, he breaks down complex science into practical insights that estheticians can immediately apply in their treatment rooms and client consultations. Whether he’s speaking on stage, teaching formulation strategy, or hosting his nationally syndicated radio show, Benjamin’s message is simple and powerful: "When you nourish the body systemically and topically, you awaken the skin’s natural healing intelligence." His work continues to revolutionize the skincare industry by restoring the connection between nutrition, skin physiology, and bioelectric health and by reminding professionals that beauty is a biological process, not a cosmetic illusion.

Send us Fan Mail You’ve heard of a Bridezilla, but are YOU a Monster-in-Law?.. … Here’s a 911 Rulebook to Help Moms of Sons  Navigate the Extraordinary Transition to Mother-in-Law!    Acclaimed NYC Psychotherapist Offers a Fun Yet Functional Must-Have For This  Notoriously Intense Relationship It’s routinely the butt of jokes and reduced to caricatures of overbearing, meddling monsters. Yet in reality, stepping into the role of mother-in-law is daunting and rife with emotional landmines. Sadly, mothers-in-law have been largely left to struggle and blunder alone—until now.               In How to Be the “Perfect” Mother-in-Law: A Lighthearted Guide for Moms of Married Sons (Amazon, ISBN: 979-8-9930332-0-4; $9.99; Original Trade Paperback), acclaimed psychotherapist and author, Lesley Koeppel, LCSW, has written a book to help every MIL (mother-in-law) find her footing and establish the foundation for a strong, supportive, and lasting bond with her DIL (daughter-in-law). As both a psychotherapist and the mother of two recently married sons, the author brings some much-needed perspective to the naturally complicated MIL/DIL dynamic. “This book is not about blame,” Lesley stresses. “It’s about insight. It’s about empathy. And most of all, it’s about possibility.” Grounded in psychological wisdom and real-life experience, How to Be the “Perfect” Mother-in-Law offers practical guidance on walking that fine line between being involved in your son’s and his wife’s lives and letting go, providing support while giving them space and privacy. While keeping the tone light and humorous—each chapter opens with a cartoon—Lesley urges every MIL to be honest about her feelings and behaviors toward her DIL, reinforcing this with self-reflection questions. By the end of the book, every mom of a son who is dating, engaged or married will have not only a deeper awareness of her role and meaningful contributions as a MIL but also a toolbox filled with practical strategies—ranging from effective communication techniques to healthy boundary-setting. As a result, she’ll be equipped to handle even the most delicate moments with confidence and grace while fostering a relationship with her DIL that is steady, considerate, and yes, even joyful. - more - Among key principles for all mothers-in-law to take to heart, Lesley Koeppel discusses:  Grief: As a MIL, you must fully grieve the loss of your son in the way you knew him during his childhood—he is not your little boy anymore. Letting yourself be sad is essential to letting go. Acceptance: When your son gets engaged, accept his bride-to-be without judgment or criticism. Then, to maintain your relationship with him, focus on building a positive relationship with her.     The natural order of priorities: Never make your son choose between you and his wife. If you do, you will lose (in more ways than one). Instead, adapt and support your son’s new primary relationship by fostering their independence and respecting their privacy.          Embrace the long view: In interactions with your DIL, learn to hold your tongue. If you get off to a rocky start, acknowledge your mistakes, apologize, and reset. By treating your DIL with respect and kindness, you’ll ensure having a close, loving relationship with your future grandkids.                Support the show

Send us Fan Mail Most high-performers hit a wall they can't explain. They've optimized sleep, nutrition, hormones, peptides, even stem cells, and they're still losing ground. Recovery takes longer. Brain fog creeps in. The body that once kept up with their ambition... doesn't.  After 25 years in traditional medicine (spine surgery, neurosurgery, medical devices), Caleb watched the system fail people who needed it most. Reactive. Symptom-focused. Even stem cells didn't deliver: 99% of transplanted cells die within 24 hours. The real mechanism? Exosomes, tiny particles that carry regeneration without rejection.  Caleb built Apex Regenerative to deliver the highest-potency placental-derived exosomes available, designed to restore cellular signaling and reverse decline without drugs.
