TSM17-14 Understanding Fibromyalgia with Dr Ric Arseneau

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Dr Ric Arseneau, on air from April 4th


What is Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia (FM) was recognized as a true syndrome by the American College of Rheumatology in 1990. FM is thought to exist in 2% to 3% of the population. It occurs in both men and women and women are affected 6 to 9 times more often than men. In women, FMoccurs most commonly between the ages of 30 to 60.  FM can also affect teenagers, children, and the elderly. FM has no known cause. Current research into how the nervous system deals with pain has shown that various abnormalities are present in people who have FM.

Other studies have indicated that genetic (inherited) factors may predispose some individuals to develop FM. These genetic factors can affect how the body responds to pain, physical or emotional trauma, and illnesses (such as viral infections).

This work is at the research stage and not yet available for doctors to help diagnose patients with FM in their offices. But this knowledge can be helpful in the management of FM.

C17-13a The Raunchy Humour of Anthony Torino,

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Anthony Torino, on air from March 28th


14712690_669088699934271_7752642407640138908_o


Have you ever roller-coaster from serious to laughing in 0.2 milliseconds?  If you haven’t, then you haven’t seen stand-up comedian Anthony Torino in action.  He is an expert at making audiences laugh at every day thought-provoking topics like raising kids, preventing work injuries, incarceration, ageing, society, behaviour problems, and working towards the American Dream – just to name a few.

Growing up in the military (his dad was USAF) Torino was raised primarily on military bases.  As a child – cancer got in his way.  As a teen – histoplasmosis got in his way.  As a 15-year-old, he was told not to lift weights because it would kill him.  He lifted weights anyway, and the experience saved his life.  He became an athlete, which transformed his attitude and view of the world.

At the tender age of 44, Torino made a decision to begin working as a comedian.  He was told it would take 15 years to become a headliner at the comedy club level.  He achieved that in five years.

Torino’s background in healthcare, owning businesses, chasing his dreams, physical fitness, relationships, and his own Air Force experience is comical subjects he warms up with – what comes next is anybody’s guess!

Torino has appeared on Showtime’s Comedy Warriors: Healing Through Humor, and performed at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club (sold-out show), Improv Comedy Club, LOL Comedy Club, and the Laugh Factory.

Some of Torino’s Xtra special gifts include: speaking Redneck; creating comedy sketches, sitcoms, and screenplays; teaching comedy, writing short stories and books, and radio personality.

As a motivational speaker, Torino’s personal experiences and background as both an Occupational Therapist and Professional Counselor enables him to candidly talk about being a survivor, preventing work injuries, study habits, attaining goals, dealing with death and grieving, overcoming physical deficits, incarceration/loss of freedom, relationships, purpose-based living, and more.

Torino is a guy you will like.  If you don’t – well, maybe you’re just not good with his kind of people.

He prescribes a series of one-minute visualization and breathing practices and techniques that can be used throughout the day whether in the workplace while commuting, or at home to unplug in the moment, or before stress takes hold (or after if necessary).

Also, during the past 30 years, Gloria worked as a Court Appointed Special Advocate Coordinator At YCAP in McMinnville, Oregon (where she set up this program from scratch), a solutionist, mentor/coach as well as giving presentations and seminars. When she worked in a corporate environment, she streamlined work to make more money for the company and less work for the workers, she also streamlined departments so redundancy and theft were eliminated. Gloria has helped small businesses grow.

Gloria Hass spent many years living in a confused world of abuse, trauma, and terror which caused her brain to fracture into 38 alternate personalities. Gloria spent years in counseling, therapy, reading self-help books and taking courses. While she grew and healed to a point, Gloria wasn’t mentally capable of going any further in her life until she found the proper help. After five months of intense psychotherapy, she was able to integrate 13 of the 38 alternate personalities. After another six months, Gloria combined/integrated the other 25 alternate personalities. Gloria is now living with a unified brain and realized she has the personal experience, knowledge, and understanding of how to help people who have mental health issues to live a more successful life. She knows the importance of extreme healing and transformation of the mind in order for someone with a mental illness or disorder to gain empowerment and control of their life.

Adam Martin,

Blackbird Anthem is a Southern Rock band from the heartland of Florida. Their music is a blend of southern rock, outlaw country, and blues. Fronted by lead singer/songwriter Adam Martin, Blackbird Anthem’s songs are tales of love, loss, regrets, and redemption. A U.S. Army combat veteran, Adam taught himself to play guitar after returning home from Iraq. A few years later, he began writing songs and performing locally. He formed Blackbird Anthem with David Bruce and later added Cody Owens on drums. Their debut EP, Stories I’ve Never Told, was released in early 2016 and is available worldwide across multiple digital media platforms including iTunes, Amazon, and Spotify. Their debut single, Come Kiss Me was featured on the syndicated radio program “The Iceman Show” and their music is in normal rotation on HV Rebel Country Radio as well as many other internet radio stations. As both a solo artist and with his band, Adam has performed throughout Florida and southeast Texas. Notable stages include Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge in Nashville, TN and House of Blues in Orlando, FL. Blackbird Anthem has opened for several national touring artists and played at multiple music festivals in Florida and Texas including CountryFlo, Texas Frog Fest, Vetfest, Texas Aggie Vetfest, Delandapalooza, and more. Blackbird Anthem is also a finalist in the Runaway Country Music Fest Artist Search 2017. They have recorded with all-star musicians Darin Favorite (lead guitarist for Tracy Lawrence), James Cook (bass player for Luke Bryan), Kent Slucher (drummer for Luke Bryan), and Jake Clayton.

In February 2017, Blackbird Anthem released their song 22 as a tribute to the 22 Veterans a day who die by suicide. All proceeds from 22 will be donated to the Lone Survivor Foundation. Blackbird Anthem is on the album “Battle Cry: Songs of America’s Heroes” released by Pacific Records in March 2017. Their song “Tonight We Ride” is featured. Blackbird Anthem has returned to the studio and begun work on their full-length album, Southern Ground.
