Embrace Your Neurostyle and Beyond Series to Launch!

“Embrace Your Neurostyle & Beyond”
Series to drop this week on The Dr. Denise Show!
This series is near and dear to my heart.
(sacred pause)
I AM in Deep Gratitude for all of the collaborations, ideas, shows, and patient hours it took to BE in this Moment of NOW to CELEBRATE the HEALING POWER of words thoughts and actions for optimal mental, physical and spiritual health.
From  June 11, 2019:
“As a collective WE are changing the way we think, talk and act about mental health. 
So many people suffer in silence with the stigma of discussing a diagnosis or feel shame that words cannot describe if they are going through an emotional rough patch.
I have been using the word neurostyle since 2016 with my clients, on shows, on interviews and when I was honored to be guest speaker on “Nurturing Children’s Mental Health” at the Dalai Lama’s Tibetan Medical Society in Dharamshala, India  in 10/18.
Scholars, teachers, patients, and influencers have given me feedback that it is a neutral and nonjudgmental way to talk about the way we all process and perceive the world in our own unique way.”
~ Dr. Denise
 ” It’s not often that we get to come up with a new word that’s helpful and inspirational.  But I think my friend, Dr. Denise, has done it!   The word is NEUROSTYLE.   And it’s easy to understand.
Dr. Denise defines Neurostyle as the unique way in which we each process and perceive the world.
 So why do I think this word can be transformational? While we are making gains in understanding and talking about the importance of mental health, there’s still so much stigma in our world about the way our minds work.  “Oh, he’s bipolar.”  “She’s OCD.”  It can be destructive and debilitating.
Neurostyle is a fresh way of talking about the “style” with which we process the world around us.  Instead of heading into a new relationship and having tell a partner that you’re on medication for anxiety, imagine being able to say, “My neurostyle is that I have more concerns than you do.  So I might be cautious about trying that cliff-diving you like, but you’ll come to enjoy my neurostyle and how I’m careful and considerate with your feelings.
 Teachers, friends and colleagues can talk about individual neurostyle without judgment.   Dr. Denise explains that the names of diagnoses are still important as we all make improvements to our mental health, but hopefully this new word can help young and old as we take on the world around us.”
Emmy Award Winning Cathleen O’Toole, Co-host The Dr. Denise Show

Guest Commentary from June 17, 2019

Kirk Miller

I am extremely honored to be a guest on the Dr. Denise podcast, a show I believe can positively change and enhance the way we talk and communicate about mental health.

When Dr. Denise talks about Neurostyle, “We all process and perceive information in our own unique way,” she is encompassing a way we can all talk about our mental health, negating the negative labels and misunderstandings we have with mental health, and promoting us to embrace who we are, why we are, and that being different is not bad, but actually something that makes us special.

There is no ‘normal’ in life, and were everyone normal, life would not have the same excitement and creativity that leads to greatness in everything, whether sports, scholastics, art, music, and any endeavor of the heart and mind.

After suffering with physical health throughout much of my life, I was diagnosed with two rare physical illnesses: Linear IgA and erythrocytosis.  I was also diagnosed with Bipolar One, OCD, ADHD, and generalized anxiety.

Having all of these problems was, at first, something that made me feel like less of a man, less of a human, and less of a son, brother, and friend.

In the interview Dr. Denise brought up information (the role of inflammation that is part of many disease processes) which was one of the clues I utilized in helping to lead me to a unique way of treating bipolar, a method and medication which I use now and will continue for the remainder of my days.

(see link above for show and full commentary)

One thing I can say, with complete certainty, is that Dr. Denise shares with us to make the world a more beautiful place where we embrace our struggles, finding the beauty in a tree that clings to the edge of a cliff.  Life is not easy, there is no shame in being different, so Embrace your NeuroStyle and enjoy a great podcast from a wonderful person, doctor, friend, and advocate of all.

Warmly,

~Kirk

FALL 2021

There are NO COINCIDENCES that I asked Kirk to be the first guest to be interviewed for this series and for Cathleen O’toole he and I  to take “Embrace Your Neurostyle and Beyond” to the next level of service and healing for the masses. 

I AM humbled.

Stay Tuned.

With love and reverence~

Creative Minds with TV and Film Executive Charles Mattocks

Shut.

The.

Front.

Door.

It is with ABSOLUTE excitement and HONOR that I get to launch this interview on the EVE of the launch of  Season 2 of REVERSED!

Drum Roll…. PLEASE!!!

Meet Charles Mattocks:

 

 

CHARLES MATTOCKS is an Award-Winning Actor, Director, Producer, Television Host and Health Advocate whose priority for health first and saving lives does not get in his way of excelling in all areas of the business.The Nephew of the late great Bob Marley, Mattocks comes from a very high profile family lineage so it is no surprise that he is taking the Healthcare world by storm.

An accomplished Actor, Charles Mattocks notably starred with a pivotal role in “ The Summer of Ben Tyler” alongside legends James Woods and Elizabeth McGovern. The movie garnered six nominations during the award season and Variety Magazine declared, “In Charles Mattocks, a star is born.”

As an author, producer, and director, his work has been showcased with appearances on CNN, The Today Show, Dr. Oz, Fox News, Good Morning America, The Talk, The Martha Stewart Show and numerous media outlets worldwide.

Charles’ world changed the minute he was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. As he stared death in the face, he knew he had a larger mission to make changes not only for himself but so many others! He armed himself with education and determination and began to reverse his condition. He documented his process in a provocative documentary, “The Diabetic You”, which peels back the curtain on the good, the bad, and the ugly of the diabetes epidemic. This film set his advocacy in motion, with Charles ascending to become a Blue Circle Champion for the International Diabetes Association and a published author for the American Diabetes Association.

 

Charles created, directed, and executive produced “Reversed”, the highly acclaimed diabetes reality docuseries, on Discovery Life Channel. The show received much recognition from both critics and medical professionals and earned a second season pick-up – this time focusing on HIV. He also produced Trial By Fire, about his mother’s rare disease, complex regional pain syndrome.

The buzz worthy success of Reversed inspired FYI network to continue Charles’ healing quests, so, in January, 2020, Charles’ groundbreaking new series, Eight Days, premiered. The series follows the raw ups and downs of five cancer patients as they wage their battle for survival and journey toward healing. Just as he did in reversed, Charles  guided his enlightened group toward positive outcomes beyond their wildest expectations.

 

Charles’ passion and personality are contagious and have skyrocketed him to unparalleled success with whatever he tackles. Saving lives of people suffering with chronic illness and inspiring them with his life- changing message, he has become the premiere media expert on health and wellness. Charles entertains, educates, inspires, and heals millions with his ahead-of-the-curve creativity and dedication to excellence in television hosting, content creation, and dynamic advocacy.

Meet Ivory May Kalber:

 

 

“Have FAITH and Have HOPE.” ~ Ivory Kalber quote from the show when she was going through one of her challenging moments and handled it like a DIVA!

 

Ivory May Kalber

Born in the Midwest, raised in Hawaii. She attended University of Colorado graduating with a BA in Communications, with an emphasis in TV News. She had a short stint as a nanny in LA before realizing her lifelong dream of modeling and becoming a plus-size model. Her career spanned nearly 20 years and took her all over the US AND to over 10 countries.

In 2016 the islands called her home and she returned to the Big Island to have her daughter, Iris. She lives there now with her blended @instafamilyof5. She’s enjoying her second career working as a REALTOR® serving all Hawaiian Islands. She’s had over 6 million in sales year-to-date. She still models occasionally and when she’s not trying to keep up with this CRAZY HOT real estate market she loves playing beach volleyball, remodeling houses, spending time with her family (camping, doing art, being silly), and nurturing the strong relationships she has in her life.

You can find her on insta @007hawaiiagent (808 727-0007) or on the web at ivory.equitybigisland.com!
