New 8-week Masterclass harnesses power of cannabis to resolve trauma and difficult emotions
January 28, 2021, Tampa, FL— Everyone struggles with past trauma and resulting difficult emotions. For many, the past year has exacerbated these feelings.
The problem with sadness, anger, fear, guilt and shame is that unless you find the root cause, you never do more than slap a band-aid on the issue.Becca Williams, a board member of the American Academy of Cannabinoid Medicine, one of the only certified Emotional Liberation™ teachers in the world, offers a unique cannabis assisted emotional recovery program designed to find the cause and release all of the associated negative emotions and feelings.
Cannabis' ability to facilitate brain and nervous system reorganization and healing aligns closely with the established benefits of meditation – and for many amplifies and accelerates the process. William’s program is a synthesis of cutting edge brain science and ancient Eastern practices.
“The cannabis isn’t the solution, it’s more like a mental lubricant,” said Williams. “It’s like a truth serum.”
Williams advises patients on what is the best CBD or cannabis for their individual needs. The cannabis is integrated with the meditation portion of a session.
In addition to the eight-week masterclass, private session packages are available. All programs are virtual to allow clients to join from anywhere from the privacy and safety of their own home.

The Prosperity Project: Building Abundance and A Map for A Life Well Lived
San Diego, CA, February 9, 2021 — How do you define prosperity, as it relates to your individual circumstances? Would more money make you feel prosperous? Better health? More friends? The truth is, all these things matter, notes Wall Street veteran and author John Lohrenz.
“Your health, wealth, relationships, self-growth and sense of adventure are all part of the equation for a happy and prosperous life,” he says in his new book,The Prosperity Project: Building Abundance and A Map for A Life Well Lived.
Lohrenz draws upon his professional and personal experiences and seamlessly blends them with the principles of modern psychology, health, wellness, and finance to inform his Pyramid of Prosperity—a reimagined version of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs that reflects present-day fundamental truths. The Pyramid of Prosperity gives readers a visual representation of Lohrenz’s point that multiple contributors to happiness need to exist in harmony for the pinnacle of prosperity to be reached.
Chapters dive deep into the layers of the pyramid—Health, Wealth, Relationships, Growth, Adventure, Legacy—to help readers discern what true prosperity means to them.
“The goal of The Prosperity Project is to give you a formula that you can use every day to make sure you are at your best for yourself, those around you, and your work,” Lohrenz writes. “It is so much more than a wellness checkup or a financial plan. The point of the project is to provide you with tangible tools so you can develop a complete personalized and achievable plan for prosperity.”
The result is a clear, easy-to-navigate path forward with calls to action that you can implement daily. The Prosperity Project isn’t a quick fix. Lives of abundance don’t just happen. They are cultivated through mindfully planning and pursuing your purpose. And if living your best life isn’t a purpose, what is?
The Prosperity Project author John Lohrenz is a wealth manager with over 25 years of experience. He spent much of his career at Merrill Lynch before deciding to open his own firm, JKL Wealth Management. John now spends his time nurturing relationships with clients and advising them on living a life of true prosperity.
COVID-19 Contributes to Uptick in Opioid-Related Deaths
Baltimore, MD, February 9, 2021 — Telemedicine and tele-mental health services have emerged as valuable resources for those battling addictions during our country’s expanding opioid crisis. The availability of remote healthcare services gives hope for those struggling with their addictions against a backdrop of social isolation, explains Dr. Paul Christo, anAssociate Professor in the Division of Pain Medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and he adds, clinicians need to advocate to their patients that online treatment options are available.
Dr. Christo, who is on the frontlines working to curb the impact of the opioid crisis, also wants patients to know that critical medications for maintaining sobriety can now be prescribed by telehealth or telephone.
"The number of fatalities from opioid-related overdoses could be nearly 30 percent higher than reported due to missing information or incomplete death records,” he says. “The worst fear is that because of social isolation, people are not being found or treated immediately."
The opioid epidemic today progressed in three phases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The first involves deaths caused by prescription opioids, the second, an increase in heroin use, and the third, a surge in the use of synthetic opioids or fentanyl. Experts say the U.S. is right in the middle of the third phase of the epidemic, due to the increasing availability of fentanyl and increasing rates of overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids.
According to a recent study there were 632,331 drug overdoses between 1999 and 2016. Most of these deaths (78.2 percent) were drug overdoses with known drug classification. Moreover, 21.8 percent were unclassified drug overdoses. A further investigation revealed that for unclassified drug overdoses, 71.8 percent involved opioids, translating to 99,160 additional opioid-related deaths.
There were over 70,000 drug overdose deaths in 2017, according to an estimate from the CDC. Based on findings from the new study, over half of those deaths — about 47,000 — are suspected of having involved opioids.
Another study on opioid overdoses found that the number of drug overdose deaths decreased by 4 percent from 2017 to 2018. In 2018, more than 67,000 people died from drug overdoses, making it a leading cause of injury-related death in the United States. Almost 70 percent involved a prescription or illicit opioid of those deaths.
“COVID 19 impacted the drug supply chain by closing borders on some regions, and it led to the higher death rate,” Dr. Christo explained. He added that drugs become more challenging to get, and the potency of overdose goes up. It also impacts the price, everything goes up, and in that sense, it becomes more deadly each day, according to Dr. Christo.
About Dr. Paul Christo
Dr. Paul Christo serves as Director of the Multidisciplinary Pain Fellowship Program at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He is the author of Aches and Gains, A Comprehensive Guide to Overcoming Your Pain. Dr. Paul Christo also hosts an award-winning, nationally syndicated SIRIUS XM radio talk show on overcoming pain called, Aches and Gains®. For more information about Dr. Paul Christo.

It’s hard to stick to your fitness regimen during the winter months. Between short days, freezing weather, and ongoing gym closures, you have plenty of excuses to give up. If you’re not ready to quit, but you aren’t sure exactly how to keep fit during cold weather, try one of these winter workout ideas.
Bundle Up
If the weather outside is frightful, put on a down jacket and comfy scarf and head outside. You might not be able to run or ride a bicycle if the sidewalks are slippery, but a long walk can offer low-impact exercise and a reason to get out of the house. Plus, if you’re walking, you can hold onto a cup of hot cocoa without sloshing any on yourself. Try to walk during the middle of the day, when the temperature is usually highest, and look for hilly routes to keep your muscles warm and active.
Try Indoor Cardio
2020 was the year of the home gym as COVID-19 forced even the most passionate exercise enthusiasts to stay inside. Manufacturers are still recovering from record-low levels of stock. While you may not be able to find that squat rack or weight set you’ve been eyeing since March, you still have plenty of options for indoor cardio, including treadmills and exercise bikes. If you’re missing the communal aspect of exercise, give at-home spin classes a try. Performance-focused studios like Plan 7 Coaching offer high-tech class options that carefully monitor your heart rate, caloric output and V02 rates so you’ll get exactly the workout you’re looking for.
Clean Up the House
According to theAmerican Heart Association, cold weather is no excuse for slacking on your exercise schedule. Instead, stay active around the house with aerobic exercise like vigorous cleaning, raking leaves, or shoveling snow. As long as you’re moving fast enough to keep your heart rate elevated, you can turn your chore list into an exercise session.
Throw Yourself a Dance Party
You have to get creative to stay active during the winter. Why not have a little fun and throw yourself an at-home dance party? Crank up Spotify, grab a weighted hula hoop, or just get funky on your own. Give yourself permission to let go after a long day, find a private place to work out and dance like no one can see you.
With some ingenuity and planning, you can stay active even when it's cold outside.
Your Veterinarian Needs Help
Atlanta, GA, February 8, 2021 — Your veterinarian chose to dedicate his or her life to the altruistic pursuit of tending to the health and lives of pets. What you may not have considered is that the health and life of your veterinarian also needs protecting: he or she is nearly four times more likely to die by suicide than someone among the general population. But there are ways you can help.
Sandy Weaver, author of the groundbreaking new book Happy Vet Happy Pet: Caring for Your Pet’s Caregiver, is on a mission to ease the lives of veterinarians, one client’s heart at a time.
“I’ve known for years, as have those in the veterinary field, that there was an issue with suicide and veterinarians,” Sandy says. “Then in early 2019, the CDC report on veterinary suicide was published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, and what had been anecdotal became data: male veterinarians are 2.1 times more likely, and female veterinarians are 3.5 times more likely, to complete suicide than their non-veterinarian peers.”
Happy Vet Happy Pet is a distillation of Sandy’s research into neuroscience, neuroplasticity and positive psychology mixed with data from the CDC report. The result is an impactful approach that weaves easy-to-understand science with stories that touch the minds and the hearts of pet owners — empowering them to be part of the solution.
Chapters dive deep into topics all pet owners should understand, including:
1. The heart, mind and life of a person who decides to become a veterinarian; 2. The very human, very vulnerable person behind the scrubs; 3. The ways clients unknowingly mistreat their pets’ caregivers; 4. Three simple rules to follow to help your veterinary team; and 5. What to do if you feel that someone near you is facing suicidal desperation.
Happy Vet Happy Pet shares Sandy’s unique point of view that it takes a village to save a veterinarian. “Making pet owners mindful of how their behavior impacts their veterinarian mobilizes the village to help solve the problem,” she adds.
This book will change your relationship with your veterinarian and their team forever. And what you learn in this book could save your veterinarian's life.
Author Sandy Weaver is an expert speaker, trainer, mastermind facilitator and lover of all things dog.
As the Program Director of the Center for Workplace Happiness, Sandy creates the training programs, workshops, mastermind groups and keynotes that help people lead happier, more successful lives. She is also a citizen-scientist in the fields of neuroscience, neuroplasticity and positive psychology. In 2019, she took the resilience tools and strategies she’d been teaching to general audiences and crafted programs specifically for veterinary teams. Her goal is to touch the life of every veterinarian and technician in a way that helps them avoid the pain and despair that comes with an inability to manage stress.
Now in her 40th year of Siberian Husky ownership, Sandy is a passionate advocate for veterinarians and their teams and an ongoing donor to Not One More Vet.
Don’t give up your spring break again! Plan a socially distanced getaway.
Maintaining social distancing and following health and safety protocols continues to dominate life, and spending time in your own home is getting exhausting. Many are looking for a safe way to travel, especially with the traditional spring break travel season right around the corner. For many, it’s been a long year (or more) stuck at home, and the urge to escape is growing stronger by the day. But how to get away while staying safe and following those pesky protocols?
Why not try a socially distanced spring break getaway? Here’s how:
Hit the road on an RV vacation!
No RV? No problem! With peer-to-peer RV rentals companies such as Outdoorsy, RV vacations are now available to everyone. Find an RV rental anywhere you are or anywhere you want to go and explore the open road. Plus, campgrounds naturally lend themselves to social distancing and many offer features like online check-in to further limit the need to interact with others. Plus, you’ll have an RV site all to yourselves so there’s no need to share space with others. Here are some great destinations to visit for spring break in an RV.
One glance at the streets lined with palm trees and the breathtaking mountain views, and you know that vacation is finally here! The Palm Springs RV Campground is the perfect family retreat in the heart of Palm Desert. Spend your day exploring Joshua Tree National Park or the eclectic shops and restaurants of downtown Palm Desert and come home to the campground to enjoy swimming, pickleball and a beautiful sunset.
Sun, sand and relaxation is what you’ll love about a spring break trip at Fiesta Key in the Florida Keys! Enjoy the onsite amenities including a swimming pool with ocean views, a beach area to sit and soak up the sun, a playground, plus an onsite beach bar and restaurant. Everything your family needs for the perfect spring break trip is all in one place.
Looking for an educational spring break? Learn more about the Alamo and explore everything San Antonio has to offer! Have your own secret escape only an hour away at Medina Lake RV Campground. Located in the Texas Hill Country you can enjoy the wildlife including deer roaming through the preserve and spend hours on the bike trails around the campground.
Bordered by the Los Padres National Forest and the Santa Ynez River in the mountains of Santa Barbara, Rancho Oso is a western-themed working ranch offering 310 acres of beautiful scenery and endless opportunities for horseback riding, hiking, and photography, making it a perfect spring break spot for the whole family. The campground is filled with history dating back to 1845.
Get creative with a unique accommodation!
Who wants to stay in a hotel these days anyways? Do away with passing other guests shoulder-to-shoulder in long, enclosed hallways, sharing tight elevator rides with fellow travelers and eating in hotel restaurants. Instead, try a unique (and truly social media-worthy) accommodation for your spring break trip.
Stay in a cozy cabin at Lake Conroe RV Campground in Willis, Texas on the shores of Lake Conroe and experience everything this resort area has to offer! Explore the 19,000 scenic acres of Lake Conroe by Jon boat, paddle boat, kayak, or canoe or just relax at the campground’s beautiful beach area or poolside. It’s a water lover’s paradise! After a day of fun, return to your cabin which features a television, kitchenette, air conditioning, barbecue grill and a screened porch to help you enjoy the warm weather in comfort.
Explore Sedona this spring break and visit the tiny houses of Verde Valley, near the Red Rocks of Sedona. Finn and Rose, at 258 and 218 square feet respectively, each sleep three and welcome new guests like long-lost friends. Rich in geological and cultural history, the area surrounding Verde Valley RV Campground offers hours of exploration and sightseeing. From the famous ghost town of Jerome to kayaking the Verde River to scenic drives through Sedona, and wine tasting right next-door, there is adventure and mystery at every turn.
Love tiny houses but looking for a beachy escape? Stay at the nautical-themed tiny houses at the Sunshine Key Tiny House Village in the Florida Keys and make it your home base for exploring. Imagine waking up beachside to your own tiny abode and strolling to the water’s edge with your morning coffee. Onsite you can rent kayaks or stand up paddle boards and enjoy the ocean, or rent a bike for a cruise along the shoreline to take in the views. Snorkeling fans can head to the Dry Tortugas or John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park for viewing the various coral species, plus turtles, parrot fish and butterfly fish.
Stay at the colorful cottages at Tropical Palms RV Resort in Kissimmee, FL for your own tropical spring break oasis. One or two bedrooms, with or without a loft, these adorable cottages have been recently remodeled to ensure a comfy stay. At the resort take advantage of the beautiful pool area and amenities like mini golf, a fitness center and a dog park. Interested in heading out of the resort? Disney is just four miles away and is bursting with activities to keep you entertained!
At Marina Dunes RV Resort you can stay in your own luxury safari tent. Located right along the ocean and close to everything the area has to offer, you can’t go wrong here. Located in Marina, CA, and adjacent to the Marina Dunes Preserve, you can enjoy a nearby hiking trail or a walk on Marina State Beach. Not far from the resort you can experience the famous wineries of the Carmel Valley.
Don’t let another spring break pass you by! Head to one of these picture-perfect destinations and enjoy a neatly self-contained, perfectly socially distanced family getaway!
CHICAGO — A recent survey commissioned by the American Association of Endodontists reveals that more than half of Americans say the COVID-19 pandemic has caused them to put off general dental check-ups, which can lead to serious oral health problems. The survey also showed that the pandemic is takings its toll on those working or studying remotely when it comes to changes to their daily dental hygiene routine. Significant findings include:
31% were snacking more on sweets
28% didn’t schedule or forgot to schedule a dental visit
1 in 4 said they waited until later in the morning to brush their teeth, while 21% didn’t brush in the morning at all
There was also a major drop off in flossing, with 24% saying they’re flossing less frequently, while 23% say they aren’t flossing
Millennials more frequently reported experiencing dental disruptions, with 43% of those surveyed indicating that working from home or attending virtual classes from home led to disruptions to their usual dental hygiene habits during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.
Clearly, the pandemic is causing a major disruption in Americans’ dental habits, which is leading to more serious tooth problems. Fortunately, it appears much of the public understands the importance of facing serious dental issues head on: Even with the pandemic, 60% say experiencing tooth pain that won’t go away would lead them to make a dental appointment. The survey also asked about tooth loss versus procedures to save a bad tooth, with four out of five people stating that it’s better to go the root canal route versus extraction.
When it comes to tooth pain, it’s important to know that an endodontist is a toothache sufferer’s greatest ally. It’s also important to remember that it is extremely safe to visit the endodontist in the era of COVID-19, with endodontists practicing the utmost caution and disinfection protocol. Even at the height of the U.S.’s COVID-19 shutdown period in the spring of 2020, most endodontic practices remained open to safely treat dental emergencies.
To keep emergency rooms clear, in the case of a dental emergency, you should continue seek an endodontist instead of dialing 911.
“If you’re suffering with a toothache that wakes you up out of a sound sleep at night, or because you’re eating hot or cold food, you need an endodontist,” says Dr. Alan H. Gluskin, President of American Association of Endodontists. “You should not delay treatment.”
AAE experts are available to discuss this topic further. Contact the AAE to schedule an interview today!
Alan Gluskin, D.D.S. Dr. Alan Gluskin, D.D.S., is the President of the American Association of Endodontists, and is professor and vice chair of the Department of Endodontics at the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry, University of the Pacific, in San Francisco.
Mark B. Desrosiers, D.M.D. Dr. Desrosiers is a Board-certified endodontist and serves as a clinical assistant professor in the department of endodontics at Boston University School of Dental Medicine. He is chair of the AAE’s Public and Professional Relations Committee, which is integral to the Association’s important Worth Saving public campaign.
Avina K. Paranjpe, BDS, M.S., MSD, Ph.D. Dr. Avina Paranjpe is associate professor, Endodontics, at University of Washington School of Dentistry. Dr. Paranjpe says there is definitely an increase in cracked tooth cases she is seeing in the graduate endodontic clinic and in private practice.
