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!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let’s GO!

Let’s GO!

WE are ALL full throttle and back to school!

This post resonates:

“The school year starts in dribs and drabs, but today’s the real deal for my family- we are back. 3/3 masked, 2/3 vaxxed (soon, please, 11 and under), every one eager, tentative, bold, vulnerable, and- as far as I can tell-smiling under the 3-ply. Thank you teachers, thank you administrators, thank you school staff-for being on the receiving end of a year and a half of feelings (kids’ and parents’)-big and loud, quiet and deep. Thank you science for getting us this far and this much closer to health and freedom. Thank you for moms in your corner and gallows humor and the sun that rises, no matter what. And please, God, hold us in the palm of your hands.” Jennifer Garner’s Instagram Post 9/8/21

As a mother, doctor, host and producer I say “cheers” to Jennifer’s eloquent post above!

This is a short and sweet show honoring the “pulse of consciousness” of all of the “Curve Balls and Cool Pauses” that are thrown are way as parents, administrators, teachers and employees!

A lot of fun and information is on its way!

xoxo

Dr. Denise
