Run stronger, better and faster...by running less?

Posted by Cari @ The Kathleen Show

Can you actually be a better, stronger runner by running LESS?  The answer is YES, and Bill Pierce can show you how. This professor, author and running expert shares how he got into running back in the 70's and experimented until he found the ideal regimen to improve endurance, speed and fitness—all scientifically proven through his work at Furman University.

Bill talks about the strategies outlined in his book, Runner's World Run Less, Run Faster and explains how it’s not the mileage, but the quality of your workout that has the most impact. With a combination of speed runs, tempo runs and endurance runs—plus cross-training—you can give your current routine a kick in the pants and earn a whole new personal best. 

And although runners of all ages are setting new records with this routine, Kathleen has noticed that it seems particularly well suited for her 'maturing' body.

Kathleen’s interview with The Treats

Get well with...prayer

Posted by Cari @ The Kathleen Show

According to Dr. Larry Dossey, a renowned physician and best-selling author of Healing Words, surveys show that the most frequently used ‘alternative therapy’ in the U.S. is prayer.  Who knew?  But that’s not all…studies show prayer works. 

Dr. Dossey has helped patients understand the power of their mind and soul on the health of their bodies, as well as changed the way doctors practice and medical schools teach.  In his interview on The Kathleen Show, he talks about the science behind the power of prayer, shares intriguing evidence about the effects of spirituality on healing, and how it can be incorporated into standard medical practice.

This show isn’t about religion. Tune in and you’ll hear how spirituality is bridging the gap between alternative therapies and proven medicine.

Take a walk on the spiritual side

Holy reading! Look no further for the ultimate page-turner (that's right, the Bible!)

Lies at the altar

The truth about great marriages
 

 

"Until death do us part"...As long as I'm not sick to death of you, as long as you turn me on, as long as you're able to keep your figure, as long as you keep your hair, as long as you make me feel all mushy inside, as long as someone better doesn't come along.

Sound familiar?

Dr. Robin Smith, one of the top relationship experts in the country and best-selling author of Lies At The Altar: The Truth About Great Marriages, shares the secret for achieving wedded bliss whether you’re 3 months in or 30 years in. She explains why the key to a good and lasting marriage is showing up like a like a grown-up (ouch!) as well as being brutally honest with yourself about who you and your partner really are.

And if you’re getting ready to take the plunge, make sure that the wedding doesn’t get in the way of your marriage.  Dr. Robin has some strongly-worded wisdom about the ‘big day’ so that you don't trade one glorious party for years of bitter struggle.

Tune in and you'll understand why I hand out copies of Lies at the Altar to anyone even thinking of uttering "I Do".

Kicking cancer's butt with natural remedies

He was given six months to live...it's now eleven years later.

This astonishing interview will change how you look at cancer and its treatment for good.

 

In 1999 Jerry Brunetti was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma and told that he had as little as six months to live. Forgoing traditional radiation and chemotherapy, Jerry used his vast knowledge of farming and animal nutrition and embarked on his own journey to become cancer free. 

Jerry shares how he defied the cancer odds and took charge of his health using a holistic approach. Recruiting a team of medical coaches, he focused on immune modulation using natural substances, a routine of supplements and rigorous nutrition, and detoxification. Here he busts the cancer myths and offers advice to others who are battling this epidemic disease.

This week: Fast food doesn't have to be crap food

Posted by Cari @ The Kathleen Show

This week on The Kathleen Show we're talking about turning the tide in the fast food industry and making it healthy, ethical and...profitable? Yes, it's possible, and Kathleen is highlighting the company that's leading the way. Here's who she's talking to:

Vaughan Lazar: The President and Co-Founder of Pizza Fusion, a company whose mission is "saving the planet one pizza at a time." Vaughan talks about his innovative restaurant chain, and their quest to change the model of the American fast food chain. They're creating eco-friendly, locally sourced, organic fare that's fast too. This is a show for anybody who's been on the go and was forced to eat the crap they pawn off for food on the side of the highway.

Also on the air this week, Kathleen talks to a woman who's an inspiration to all of us.

Patricia Carlson: We all can name people in our lives (and maybe ourselves?) who catch a cold or get a hangnail and it's the end of the world--they are down for the count and caught in 'victim hell'. Not Patricia Carlson. Despite a lifelong genetic disorder, deteriorating health and physical limitations, Patricia lives a bold and successful life. Not only has she remained a force in her career, but also serves as a source of inspiration, strentgh and optimism to everyone around her. What does she do that most of us don't do? Or more importantly, what does she think that most of us don't think?
