Friday, May 7th – Join me for a pre-Mother’s Day show as I celebrate the wonderful moms in my life!  I’ll be talking to my gorgeous mother, who turned 70 this year, and is still vibrant, healthy and has the most gorgeous skin you’ve ever seen!  How does she do it?  We’ll hear her nutritional and self-care tips that have kept her youthful.  My two sister-in-laws will also be sharing their challenges and victories around nutritional habits with their kids, as well as their personal journeys with health.  One sister is from Mexico, who will have you laughing as she talks about adapting to a new culture and teaching herself how to cook!  The other sister is a former track star, who will speak to her experiences of training as a young girl, and how that played into body image and other habits around eating.

Friday, May 14th – Chef Ann Cooper – also known as the Renegade Lunch Lady -  is Colorado’s Jamie Oliver!  She is a celebrated author, chef, educator, and enduring advocate for better food for all children. In a nation where children are born with shorter estimated life expectancies than their parents because of diet-related illness, Ann is a relentless voice of reform by focusing on the links between food, family, farming and children’s health and wellness.

A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park, NY, Ann has been a chef for more than 30 years, and  has appeared on NPR’s ‘Living on Earth,’ ABC’s Nightline, CNN, PBS’ To The Contrary and the CBS Morning Show and many other media outlets. She is also the author of four books:  Lunch Lessons: Changing the Way We Feed Our Children (2006), In Mother’s Kitchen: Celebrated Women Chefs Share Beloved Family Recipes(2005), Bitter Harvest: A Chef’s Perspective on the Hidden Dangers in the Foods We Eat and What You Can do About It (2000) and A Woman’s Place is in the Kitchen: The Evolution of Women Chefs (1998).

You will learn about Ann’s mission to create a sustainable model for schools nationwide to transition any processed food based K-12 school meal program to a whole foods environment where food is procured regionally and prepared from scratch.  She is happily doing the work in Boulder, Colorado as a Chef, Nutrition Services Director, Consultant, Author, Public Speaker, and Advocate because she sees a need for change and has the gifts to help.  She envisions a time soon when being a chef working to feed children fresh, delicious, and nourishing food will no longer be considered “renegade.”

Friday, May 21st – I have many friends and family members who live with cancer. This topic is very dear to my heart, so I’m devoting this show to nutritional tips for cancer, along with other modalities that aid the healing process.  My guest will be Pam Benison, a gifted and talented healer who has helped hundreds with her loving practice of Jin Shin Jyutsu®, a form of acupressure that brings balance to the body’s energies, to promote optimal health, well-being, and our own profound healing capacity.  Pam will show us easy Jin Shin methods that you can do on your own, to induce relaxation and reduce the effects of stress.  She will also share personal stories of working with cancer patients, as well as her role in teaching health care practitioners to integrate Jin Shin into their practice for improved outcomes.

Friday, May 28th – Today’s show will focus on nutrition and care for children with special needs.  My sister-in-law, Joey Rheem, will be returning to the show to share her stories of raising her lovely little Lauren, who was diagnosed with Trisomy 9 at age 2.  Trisomy 9 is a rare chromosomal disorder that slows the overall development of the child. Many of the children have low muscle tone which consequently results in the child taking much longer to reach the physical milestones (crawling/walking etc). The children have many little traits which make very little difference in development, more so just a hassle for mommy and child. For example most of the children suffer ear infections, constipation, and difficulty eating in the early days, so diet becomes very important. Joey is a true inspiration, who despite the challenges, finds time to exercise, eat right and chase after her active 8-year-old son T.J.  Joey will offer real-world support for moms with special needs children – tips on how to practice self-care, maintain a healthy diet, and ask for help, while staying involved in other life-activities that nurture body, mind and spirit.
