Jared Taylor: 'Amputee For Life'

Dr. Marla Inducil: The Diabetes Revolution, Part 2

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2385172/fan_mail/new] Steve and Chris talk with Dr. Marla Inducil, the Director of Medical Research at BC Diabetes in Vancouver. Marla's work focuses on diabetes research, but the three of us talk about various topics including: Type 1 vs. Type 2, eating, shopping and portion control. Exercise, fasting and making good choices at the grocery store. (We previous talked about this topic with Tristan Elliott in Episode 23). The bottom line is: we are all responsible for our own health and making sensible choices to ward off Diabetes, and some of the current medication available to assist the patient. This may be a very serious topic, but we have a bit of a casual light hearted talk while still giving solid information.

In God We Trust

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2385172/fan_mail/new] In this episode, Steve talks with Monica Gartner and Walt Lawrence about Faith, Spirituality and God. This discussion is far from preachy - but rather offering some personal perspectives on how people can find their own ways to cope with disabilities; whether it is within their own hearts, in a church, or in their own community. You may recognize Monica from a previous episode - as the Dynamo in a Wheelchair. Monica offers a thoughtful perspective from her own personal experiences. Walt also speaks to his open mindedness as he works as a counsellor at GF Strong to newly disabled individuals. We hope that you will listen to this episode with an open mind and an open heart.

MAID in Canada - Medical Assistance in Dying

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2385172/fan_mail/new] In this special episode, Steven welcomes Dr. Michelle Hewitt and Dr. Ricky Manhas to talk about MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying). Michelle gives her perspective as the spouse of a patient who used MAID last year. Michelle is also the Chair of the Disability without Poverty non-profit organization. Dr. Manhas gives his perspective as a Family Doctor who has guided patients who have made this request, and he's also Steve's GP.  It's a very thought provoking episode with a thoughtful discussion outlining the guidelines for MAID, Track 1 vs. Track 2, the compassionate vs. medical aspects of this decision and how it affects patients and their families. We would be interested in hearing your thoughts if this controversial topic has touched you or your family in some way.
