Life is a Ride---Overcoming Huge Challenges in Unconventional Ways

著者: Chris Joseph
  • サマリー

  • “One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small. And the ones that mother gives you, don’t do anything at all…” - Jefferson Airplane Americans consume around 25 percent of the world’s prescription pharmaceutical drugs, while comprising only about five percent of the world’s population. And it’s not like we have good outcomes resulting from this. The health of the American populace sits quite low in the rankings of industrialized nations, as does our health care system (especially for the amount of dollars we pay for it.) Americans have largely forgotten about eating healthy, moving our bodies, and getting outside for some fresh air. We’ve become a sedentary society, relying on fast and/or processed foods, and those pesky pharmaceutical drugs…most of which only treat symptoms and not underlying problems. We seem to have also forgotten – or perhaps not have even known – that the best medicine is actually prevention. And that sometimes the best treatments are NOT pharmaceutical drugs. My podcast, “Life is a Ride: Overcoming Huge Challenges in Unconventional Ways” takes off from my own health journey of overcoming and thriving for over six and a half years after a devastating diagnosis of third stage pancreatic cancer. I didn’t just do it by listening to my doctor, taking drugs and sitting back and waiting for results. In fact, had I continued to listen to my first oncologist and been a passive observer of my health, I wouldn’t be here writing this today. I was willing to get active, get healthy, and take charge of my situation. I was and am the CEO of my health. Please join me in my podcast journey as I interview others who have overcome life’s challenges in similar, unconventional ways. Their stories are heartwarming, inspirational, and life-affirming. I will also be interviewing teachers, coaches, health professionals and consultants who offer "unconventional" options for those who are looking to overcome challenging obstacles. More about Chris: Chris Joseph is an odds-defying, stage-three pancreatic cancer survivor and thriver since 2016, as described in his best-selling 2020 book "Life is a Ride: My Unconventional Journey of Cancer Recovery." He is also a co-curator and contributing author to "The Epiphanies Project: Twenty Personal Revelations." Both books are available as paperbacks or e-books, and can be found online wherever you buy your books. Over the last 35 years, Chris has started and managed three environmental consulting businesses, launched two fan-funded music record companies and founded a non-profit charitable foundation. He's also dabbled in philanthropy, songwriting, and magazine writing. Chris' other podcasts include Talking Threadheads, Dodger Dugout Dopes, The Epiphanies Project, Nine Lives: A Musical Story of New Orleans, and Oy Vey L.A. ***This podcast is not intended as a substitute for health, wellness, or medical advice. The listener should consult with a healing or medical professional in matters relating to their health and well-being, particularly with respect to any symptoms that may require immediate diagnosis or medical attention. Further, while this podcast is intended to provide unique stories and/or healing modalities that are not necessarily widely discussed, it is not an explicit endorsement of the practices, tools and methods discussed with each podcast guest.***
