In my thirties, I started to question my life, my marriage was in trouble, I was increasingly reliant on food, nicotine, and caffeine to function and was becoming unhappier by the day.
Someone suggested seeing a life coach – thinking ‘what have I got to lose?’ I went. It changed my life forever.
Today I am in a happy marriage, love and respect my body and have regained control over all areas of my life.
I live a healthy life that is congruent with my own inner vision. My goal is to help others achieve the same.
I firmly believe in walking the walk, not just talking the talk!
Specializing in Health & Well Being has become my main passion, and I have gained the following qualifications…
Join Suma Nathan, Bill Macquis and their special guest Kent Heckenlively author of “Inoculated How Science Lost its Soul in Autism” for an hour-long informative, inspirational and insightful discussion on the untold true stories behind one of major causes of Autism the that will leave you spellbound in disbelief at how misinformed and the coverups that have been and are still going on regarding the scientific research into the relationships between childhood inoculations and autism.
As we say here on the Wise Health show…
“A daily dose of prevention is the key to living a healthier, happier and more active life!“
Kent Heckenlively is a science teacher, an attorney, and a founding contributing editor of Age of Autism. During his undergrad years at St. Mary’s College, Heckenlively worked for U.S. Senator Pete Wilson and was the school’s Rhodes Scholar candidate. In law school at Golden Gate University, he was a writer and editor of the school’s law review, spending his summers working for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in San Francisco.
In the summer of 2010 and 2011, Heckenlively attended the Teacher Research Academy at Lawrence-Livermore National Laboratories, spending eight weeks in a virus lab investigating the expression of micro-RNAs in a monkey model of Ebola infection. Kent is also a member of the Compass group, a consortium of autism parents, leading scientists, and philanthropists in Silicon Valley looking for answers to neuro-immune diseases.
Heckenlively served on the Executive Council of the San Ramon Valley Education Association for several years and was the Health and Safety Committee Chairman for the teacher’s union, representing more than 1,600 educators, therapists, and psychologists
In the fight against chronic diseases, Kent finds great wisdom in the strategy used by Nelson Mandela in South Africa. Mandela believed change could only come about when one engaged in satyagraha, a Buddhist concept which insists on speaking the absolute truth, while at the same time practicing ahimsa, a commitment not to harm those who might be your adversaries.
In November of 2014, Heckenlively published PLAGUE: One Scientist’s Intrepid Search for the Truth About Human Retroviruses, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), Autism, and Other Diseases, with Dr. Judy Mikovits, a 20-year government scientist and former head of the Lab of Anti-Viral Drug Mechanisms at the National Cancer Institute. The book quickly became one of the best-selling virus books of the last 30 years and has garnered extensive praise from the patient community and leading physicians.
“I must confess that the two years spent writing PLAGUE have changed many of my views,” said Heckenlively. “I’ve been deeply impressed by the humanity and compassion of so many scientists, while at the same time have become more keenly aware of the political and financial obstacles that prevent scientists from making the kind of significant contributions to the well-being of society that they dreamed of when they began their careers.”
Kent and his wife Linda live in Northern California with their two children, Jacqueline and Ben.
Fun fact: Kent played football for De La Salle High School whose Spartans had a 151-game winning streak from 1992 to 2003, a record unequaled by any American sport. This accomplishment is depicted in the 2014 film, When the Game Stands Tall, starring Jim Cazaviel and Laura Dern. Kent firmly believes that even though all this success happened after he stopped playing football for De La Salle it was “just a coincidence” and not a reflection of his athletic skills.
About “Inoculated How Science Lost its Soul in Autism“
“A Compelling Chronicle Which Poses the Question Whether the Autism Epidemic Could Have Been Stopped If Courageous Scientists Had Truly Followed the Evidence”
It reads like a mystery thriller, a lone whistleblower, akin to All the President’s Men’s Deep Throat, spills the government’s secrets. But like the film Contagion, what’s at risk is the health of millions!
But fiction it is not. This remarkable chronicle wades directly into the maelstrom that is the vaccine/autism controversy. Kent Heckenlively’s Inoculated: How Science Lost Its Soul in Autism may initially read like a spy novel but unfolds to a complete accounting of all the actions and documents that comprise a government cover-up, putting a vast number of the nation’s children at great risk to trigger autism once inoculated with the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine.
Heckenlively, a science teacher and attorney, uses both of these exacting skills to demonstrate how the Centers for Disease Control’s deliberate choice to inaccurately report test results that showed a distinct correlation between the vaccine and increased autism statistics –and a lack of courage by those who could have spoken up in the early 2000s when indicators began to surface, but instead stayed silent or deliberately perverted the truth, have resulted in an entire generation of autism disabled children—and a fast-rising tide of more.
Beginning with whistleblower Dr William Thompson, a CDC scientist with the National Center for Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, revealing the manipulated and falsified results to Dr. Brian Hooker, a college biology professor, scientist and autism-activist with an autistic son, Heckenlively traces how the red flags arising in the true results should have spurred international concern, and considerably more vital science to spotlight what was really happening. Instead, the government administrators, so deeply committed to the idea that vaccines are the only path to keeping the world’s people saved from harm—and Big Pharma–went into overdrive to bury the information and stem any further research. Heckenlively, furthermore, shows how bad science only compounded the problem, reinforcing the government’s position that no connection existed. His premise is that the scientists who should have been following the facts to the truth, instead lost their way because of the fear of rocking the boat and opening the Pandora’s box that vaccine-triggered autism would unleash.
Before you’re done reading this exhaustively-researched book, you’ll get to know many of the parties engaged in the public battle for children’s survival (including Andy Wakefield, the controversial filmmaker and researcher behind the film VAXXED which covers some of the same ground), the science behind it, the politics that permeate it and the step-by-step actions that have forestalled real scientific study that could reveal a new path and better protections.
Heckenlively, the father of a child stricken with autism after being vaccinated—who remains unable to speak—is no stranger to controversy. Inoculated is the outgrowth of research he did for his previous book PLAGUE: One Scientist’s Intrepid Search for the Truth About Human Retroviruses, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), Autism, and Other Disease, written with Dr. Judy Mikovits, a 20-year government scientist and former Director of the Lab of Anti-Viral Drug Mechanisms at the National Cancer Institute, one of the most popular virus books of the last 30 years. However, it, too, was steeped in vituperative confrontation.
Every show is packed full of valuable insights that will help you learn how to listen to your what your body, mind and soul is telling you it needs, so that you can be healthier, happier and more productive eevery day

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Kevin Briggs, on air from December 20th
Tis the Season to be Jolly, but also the Season that so many people make attempts to take their own lives. Kevin Briggs, a retired California Highway Patrol Sergeant, has prevented many a soul from jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge where he was a patrol cop for 23 years.
We all have mountains to climb, we all have moments when we feel despair, we all need to be heard to know that someone cares, Kevin shares how we can recognize that someone in trouble and what we can do to help them through it.
Briggs is a retired California Highway Patrol officer who spent many years patrolling the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. While on patrol, he encountered numerous individuals clinging to life by a thread – individuals who had lost hope and could see no way out of their current situation – ready to jump off the bridge to what they assumed was a sudden death and ending of their pain and hopelessness.
Briggs, through his compassion, gentle voice, eye contact, and his innate ability of “listening to understand” encouraged more than 200 individuals over his career to either not go over the bridge’s rail or come back to solid ground from where they had been standing precariously out on the chord of the bridge and start a new chapter in their life. These challenging, but rewarding efforts earned him the nickname “Guardian of the Golden Gate Bridge.” After a 23-year career with the California Highway Patrol, Briggs retired to dedicate his life to promoting mental health awareness across the globe through Pivotal Points, an organization he founded to help Crisis Management, Suicide Prevention, and Leadership Skills.
TUNE IN HERE FOR ON-DEMAND LISTENING AND HELP PREVENT A LOSS OF LIFE
Briggs speaks publicly about not having the right kind of professional training to effectively assist persons in crisis when he first began work as a patrol officer. Throughout his career, he reached out to senior officers who had been in the trenches, asking for their guidance – how to approach an individual in crisis, what to say, what not to say, the tone of voice, among many other things. He sought various professional training avenues including hostage negotiator training to continue to improve his skills and abilities. Over time and using all the things he learned, Briggs found a positive way to approach people in crisis, using listening skills he practised to find the “thread” that would encourage individuals to find hope for tomorrow and allow them to make the decision to live for another day. He is a mental health consumer himself – Briggs suffers from depression related to his highway patrol officer and work leader experiences (including a motorcycle accident in which he was severely injured), as well as losing his grandfather to suicide, and other personal and family experiences.
Today, Briggs is mapping a movement as he speaks publicly about his suicide prevention and crisis encounters with people on the bridge. He shares his “Listening to Understand” skills followed up with key active listening points for anyone to use; his personal triad for healthy living; his RELEASE model to assist anyone in crisis; his crisis plan, and his own mental health struggles while serving in the Army, as a police officer, as a cancer survivor, as a family member and father, and as a leader and co-worker. Briggs spends the majority of his time speaking at training events, conferences, advocacy events and walks for mental / physical / behavioral health, college and university, first responder, law enforcement (including FBI), military, AFSP, NAMI, corporations, and other venues.
In 2015, Briggs had the privilege of working across Australia with law enforcement, mental health organizations, and Mates in Construction, which works to reduce suicide in the Australian construction industry. During his time there, he conducted 22 presentations focused on suicide prevention and crisis management.
In 2016, Briggs had the privilege of Keynote and Workshop Presenter in Aachen, Germany at the International Federation of Telephone Emergency Services (IFOTES) Conference. IFOTES offers emotional support, immediately accessible to any person suffering from loneliness, in a state of psychological crisis, or contemplating suicide by telephone, mail or chat services. At the time, there were 31 Federations from 23 countries as a member of IFOTES, working with about 22,000 voluntary workers and 1,000 professionals in the member countries.
As an international Crisis Management, Suicide Prevention, and Leadership Skills presenter, Sergeant Kevin Briggs’ story and lived experiences have been featured at the Technology, Entertainment, and Design 2014 Conference as a TEDTalk, Ciudad de Las Ideas (Mexico), Yahoo News, The New Yorker Magazine, Men’s Health Magazine, NPR’s Bob Edwards Radio Show, People Magazine, USA Today, as well as other magazines, newspapers, radio, and podcasts across the world. His first book, Guardian of the Golden Gate: Protecting the Line Between Hope and Despair, was released in July 2015.
In honor of his work, Briggs has received several awards:
2016 recipient of the National Council for Behavioral Health Visionary Leadership Award
2015 recipient of the joint American Psychiatric Association and California Psychiatric Association Warren Williams Award
2015 recipient of the Matthew Silverman Memorial Foundation Matt’s Hero Award
2013 recipient of the ASIS International Outstanding Officer Award
2013 Harvey’s Heroes Award (Steve Harvey Show)
American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Public Service Award
California State Senate Resolution for Public Service
Bay Area Jefferson Award for Public Service
Heroes Award, given by the Northern California Association of Public Safety Communications Officials International
2004 International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Outstanding Service Award
Kevin is also a member of Bravo748 helping veterans find their way back into a productive meaningful life.
Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guestDavid Kessler, on air from December 20th
One-third of the population will experience Holiday Grief David Kessler, grief expert, gives 7 solutions for help.
A loss of a loved one, or way of life, the loneliness and deep sorrow are very prevalent at this time of year, please be mind and heartful and reach out and care.
David Kessler is the #1 grief expert who has spent decades working with those whose loved ones left them broken hearted or they’ve died. He has put together the strategies below as well as a video’s to help those dealing with a loss.
Holidays are about togetherness. How do we have togetherness when the one we want to be with isn’t with us anymore?
For many people, holidays are the hardest part of grieving. When you have lost someone special, your world loses its celebratory qualities.
Holidays only magnify the loss.
David has put together 7 strategies to help get you through the holidays.
Be honest about your grief. There’s pressure to have a joyful holiday even when nothing has gone wrong in life. You’re not a Grinch, you’re in grief! Don’t feel the need to fake it or be happier than you actually are. You don’t have to have a holiday joy!!
Include the loss into your holidays. The grief is there anyway. Light a candle in their honour. Dedicate the prayer before dinner to your loved one. Have everyone at the dinner table share a favourite story about your loved one that died.
Take your grief online. Facebook in the new town square. Share photos of past Christmas. Also, there are many closed Facebook groups, just for those grieving. You will quickly see others are also feeling loss during the holidays.
For events, always have an exit strategy. You don’t have to stay. Feel free to say, you just wanted to drop by or you have another event to get to. You can even text yourself if you need to…time to go!
Re-evaluate your rituals.Choose what works and doesn’t. You can even cancel a holiday. You don’t have to do those 200 Christmas cards. You don’t have to cook the dinner. Free yourself.
“No” is a complete sentence.You should not have to do anything you don’t want to do. And you don’t have to explain it. “No, thank you” also works well.
Pay attention to the children.They are often the forgotten grievers. We think since kids seem busy in school they are fine. Or it’s easier to focus on the adults. But children feel the grief and have less life experience and tools to deal with the loss.
ECO-SOLUTIONS with Sara Troy and her guest Bill Sosinsky aired from January 3rd/17.
Energime University Launch:
What would happen if we suddenly made specific education and training that supports sustainable economic development and environmental stewardship available to everyone, everywhere? What effect would it have on our ability to re-establish a sustainable balance back to our planet?
Energime University has the single mission of providing the means by which we mentor and empower our global population with the critical skills necessary to carry out this monumental effort. By creating a central education platform that connects the world in a unified and structured approach, we can manage our finite resources and protect our fragile environment. Energime University will prepare our future workforce by establishing a learning annexeworldwidede through a vast inter-connective partnership. This network will be supported by a growing and robust online capability created to foster this global collaborative effort.
Right now the Energime University Platform is in its initial development period which has taken the better part of two years and should be fully operation by the fall of 2017. This process will include populating the site with courses offered and taught by our many Education/training partners, the development of our own core platform, and the full implementation of the interconnected support network that composes the Energime Community.
To be clear, Energime University currently offers courses and content on a non-accredited basis. It is our plan to be a fully accredited education/training platform in the next few years once we expand our curriculum sufficiently and acquire an existing College/University through which we will offer those accredited courses. That being said, many of the courses we will and currently offer are the same courses taught at major Universities on an accredited basis. It is our plan to offer this exceptional content at greatly reduced prices(Or free to those who cannot afford)to students and workers globally such that we can spread this knowledge. That empowerment is our core mission, not providing the means by which a student acquires an MBA.
Bill is also the Founder, Co-Owner, and CEO of The Energime Family of Companies including Energime Sustainable Technologies, Energime Power, Energime Energy Efficiency, and is the Chairman of the Board for The Energime Foundation.
Bill is a published author having written “The World We Leave Our Children” as well as many articles on the subjects of resource management and the environment. He served as the opinion editor for EcoSeed writing articles on Integrated Sustainable Design, Green Investment, Sustainable Economics, Advanced Food Production, Global Agricultural Trends, and Advanced Waste Management. A sitting board member on the Lifeboat Foundation Sustainability Board, African Sustainable Development Council, Member of the United Nations Academic Impact, as well as many other environmental and humanitarian groups and organizations. He is also a regular contributor on the subject of energy conservation and advanced retrofitting of the built environment for several periodicals.
Bill has been a proponent of sustainable growth and renewable energy since the early 1970s. As a young student, he attended Elizabeth Irwin/ Little Red School House in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village. Later he went on to attend Stuyvesant High School for math and science and was in the first graduating class of the New York City, City-As-School experimental program for gifted students. After academic work at the SUNY Binghamton School of Business for undergraduate studies, and NYU Graduate School, he started Environomic Solutions, an early version of Energime. Bill’s credits also include stints at the Henry George School of Economics, working for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York City Bicentennial Corporation, NYPIRG, and composing and producing sound tracks for television and film. In 2005, Bill began creating the structure and building the core relationships that would become Energime Sustainable Technologies and the Energime Companies. Bill has a strong background and extensive practical experience in economics, economic theory, marketing, business development, renewable energy, agriculture, aquaculture, waste management technologies, integrated sustainable design, environmental sciences, building energy efficiency and water conservation, project management, education, and communications.
