His career took him to concert and symphony stages around the world, to festivals, radio, and television shows, and to two appearances at the White House. He won numerous awards and has partnered with prominent companies such as Sony, National Geographic, PBS, Random House, and Time Warner. Then came a sudden diagnosis of Melanoma, and it changed his life. He had a choice to accept a death sentence or to live. He chose life. By adapting and combining techniques from his music and performance practice with others that he researched, he found a simple and powerful method to change how he lived. Kevin Roth discovered how to not just survive but to become truly happy and thrive. He now guides individuals and groups in the discovery of what really matters to them, how to accomplish their goals, and how handling stress is an essential factor in a healthy life. Today we will be talking about his latest book: “Between the Notes – Practical ways to find your inner groove and dance to a beat that makes your heart sing”. www.kevinroth.org In this episode, Kevin and I talk about his change of beliefs and actions after knowing about his melanoma and how he has gotten into coaching people in living life flowing with the beats of life.

E295– Inner Voice – a Heartfelt Chat with Dr. Foojan. In this episode, Dr. Foojan Chats with Dianne Kosto, Founder and CEO of SYMMETRY Neuro-Pathway Training is a Mom on a Mission to make Neurofeedback technology available to families and individuals. She wants to help other families avoid the trauma that her family experienced due to her son’s brain dysregulation. For years Dianne sought an environment that would help her son thrive as he was kicked out of schools and programs repeatedly. Dianne was advised by physicians, psychologists, therapists, counselors, education professionals, and school administrators, but no one told her about Neurofeedback. When people have dysregulated brains, they struggle with physical and emotional pain, life is hard, and relationships are damaged. Neurofeedback helps the brain learn to regulate better. When the brain is functioning better, people thrive. Dianne knows that Neurofeedback saved her son’s life and restored hope for her family. SYMMETRY Neuro-Pathway Training provides Neurofeedback services and systems to individuals, families, therapeutic programs, and professionals across the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Before founding SYMMETRY Neuro-PT, Dianne was the Executive Director of Training (and only trainer) for another Neurofeedback company for over 5 years. She provided clinical and technical support and was an approved instructor for Bridgeport College’s CEC and Certificate Course for Chiropractors in Advanced qEEG courses. Dianne mentors and consults with Neurofeedback providers across the continent in various professions and as part of SYMMETRY’s SAGE Advisors division. Connect with her at www.SymmetryNeuroPT.com.
