Life is a Ride---Overcoming Huge Challenges in Unconventional WaysAuthor: Chris Joseph
One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small. And the ones that mother gives you, dont do anything at all - Jefferson Airplane Americans consume around 25 percent of the worlds prescription pharmaceutical drugs, while comprising only about five percent of the worlds population. And its not like we have good outcomes resulting from this. The health of the American populace sits quite low in the rankings of industrialized nations, as does our health care system (especially for the amount of dollars we pay for it.) Americans have largely forgotten about eating healthy, moving our bodies, and getting outside for some fresh air. Weve become a sedentary society, relying on fast and/or processed foods, and those pesky pharmaceutical drugsmost of which only treat symptoms and not underlying problems. We seem to have also forgotten or perhaps not have even known that the best medicine is actually prevention. And that sometimes the best treatments are NOT pharmaceutical drugs. My podcast, Life is a Ride: Overcoming Huge Challenges in Unconventional Ways takes off from my own health journey of overcoming and thriving for over six and a half years after a devastating diagnosis of third stage pancreatic cancer. I didnt just do it by listening to my doctor, taking drugs and sitting back and waiting for results. In fact, had I continued to listen to my first oncologist and been a passive observer of my health, I wouldnt be here writing this today. I was willing to get active, get healthy, and take charge of my situation. I was and am the CEO of my health. Please join me in my podcast journey as I interview others who have overcome lifes challenges in similar, unconventional ways. Their stories are heartwarming, inspirational, and life-affirming. I will also be interviewing teachers, coaches, health professionals and consultants who offer "unconventional" options for those who are looking to overcome challenging obstacles.

A Conversation with Cancer Thriver Marji Keith
Episode 32
Saturday, 12 April, 2025
Another cancer thriver, Marji Keith, joins the podcast today to talk about her journey, and how she not only overcame cancer but also how that motivated her to help others. Marji Keith wears a few hats - she's a Cancer Terrain Advocate, positive psychology coach (ICF-certified), and health coach who focuses on the metabolic approach to cancer. After beating cancer herself over eight years ago, she helps people flip the script from just managing disease to actually building real wellness - creating a body where cancer and other lifestyle diseases just can't thrive. Her background is pretty cool - she's lived all over the world and used her own healing journey to develop ways to guide others through major lifestyle changes. She brings clarity, compassion, and science-backed strategies to the table. When she's not helping others, you'll find her enjoying her almost-empty nest as a mom, catching waves windsurfing, hitting the pickleball court, exploring new places, or running her Airbnb in the Dutch Caribbean. For Marji, it's all about mixing purpose with a good dose of fun. ********Chris Joseph is a dad, environmental consultant, cancer patient advocate, best selling author, thought leader, public speaker, and founder of two music record companies and a complementary 501(c)(3) non-profit helping New Orleans artists and musicians.
