How to Battle Snoring with The Snorinator

 
 
Susan and Lloyd Ecker of The Snorinator, a patented, non-invasive, high density, memory foam pillow that will help you sleep upright and put your snoring to rest for good joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Sleep Health Channel.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guests Susan and Lloyd Ecker discuss the following:
I read your interesting Ecker family business bio. Can you give us some of the highlights and then tell us how you two came up with the Snorinator?
It sounds like you came up with The Snorinator so you would both get better sleep?
2019 was three years ago. What happened next?
I saw in your Press Kit, last month you were awarded a U.S. Patent. What got you that?
If someone is interested in getting more information or purchasing The Snorinator, where should they go?
Besides having three children and three grandchildren, Susan Ecker’s greatest accomplishment is being the sole inspiration for every single one of Lloyd Ecker’s successes.
When they both got to Ithaca College, it would be the first time Susan inspired Lloyd. He knew she was there, but he needed to figure out how to meet her. In 1973, after he got Bette Midler to agree to perform at I.C., the future Eckers went on their first date, had dinner with Midler after the show, and ten years later, in 1983, the couple had been married for eight years and were expecting their third baby. That’s when Susan inspired Lloyd a second time by making him a baseball hat saying “Father-to-be”. Lloyd changed the “Father-to-be” to “Father-to-BEE” with a BumbleBEE logo, expanded with gifts for the entire family-to-BEE, and in 2004 when Babytobee.com was collecting 15,000 mother-to-be names a month, the company sold for 8-figures. All because Susan made Lloyd a silly hat!
After that, Susan gave Lloyd his third inspiration. “I wanna have dinner with Bette Midler again,” his muse stated. So, in 2006 Lloyd got to work on reintroducing a trailblazing Vaudeville star named Sophie Tucker. To date, Team Ecker has been nominated for a Grammy, their documentary got rave reviews in the NY Times, they won a book award, and currently they are producing their musical SOPH which is headed to Broadway. When they make their HBO Tucker series, Lloyd plans to hire Midler to play Sophie and get her a couple of Emmy awards. Then, Susan will have dinner with Bette again!
Which brings us to Susan’s latest Lloyd inspiration, The Snorinator! After forty-five years of marriage and Lloyd’s house rattling snoring, in 2019 Susan finally put her foot down and kicked Lloyd out of the bedroom.” Forget about “Necessity” being the mother of invention. As you now know, for Lloyd, it has always just been “Susan”!
After months of research, and an approved U.S Patent, something else, besides snoring, is once again keeping the Eckers up in the bedroom!

We invite you to learn more about Happy Jack and to join us on our mission to better the lives of young adults who struggle with mental illness like Jack did.
About Jack:
Jack Nathan is an artist, creator and founder of The Happy Jack Group, LLC. Jack launched Happy Jack’s World, on June 7, 2020, as a lifestyle brand surrounding his battle with mental health. Jack’s goal was to help kids struggling like he did.
Jack personally channeled his anxiety via painting and design. It was the one place where Jack found peace and where his mind found solace. Painting was Jack's outlet. Art was his therapy. In creating the brand Happy Jack, Jack found a way to use his art to help others.
In Jack’s mission to help kids struggling with mental health, he donated a portion of the proceeds from all Happy Jack product sales to the Child Mind Institute. Jack wanted to ensure that others felt less alone by being transparent about his own battle with anxiety and bouts of depression. Jack encouraged everyone to embrace their eccentricities wholeheartedly and to persevere in the face of personal adversity.
Jack Nathan left us suddenly and accidentally at the age of 19. We are forever grateful for the impact he left on all who knew him. Our goal is to continue Happy Jack in his honor and to ensure that his mission of "making this world a better place for kids like him" is realized.

Dr. Mavis’ goal is to do everything possible to support and encourage the child and family to maintain full participation across all aspects of life while managing their disease.
Her specific areas of interest are NAFLD, portal hypertension, liver transplant, and Fontan associated liver disease. Much of her research focuses on transplant outcomes and pediatric NAFLD, specifically relationships between early life changes and risk factors, nutritional aspects of fatty liver disease, and the impact of metabolic phenotype.

Mental Health for Teens with Ken Baum

 
 
Ken Baum, a best-selling author of numerous life-changing books and a successful performance expert and author of his new book “The Mental Edge for Teens: How to thrive in school, sports, and life in a world of chaos, bullies, and ever-changing values” joins eHealth Radio and the Mental Health Channel.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Ken Baum discuss the following:
What do teens need to learn about their mental health?
Is this why you wrote the book Mental Edge for Teens?
What is the impact that this book is making, and why do you want to give away 100,000 books?
Tell us about your Mental Health for Teens program and coaching certification programs.
TIP: It's ok for teens to be themselves. Being authentic and proud of who you are, makes for great mental health. Society makes sexuality a focal point, yet in reality, this is not an issue for most teens. A bigger issue is not fitting in because of your values, money, dress, looks, religion, intelligence, or perceived lack of athleticism or other talents. This feeling of not being like others or accepted is destructive to mental health. Embrace your values, be proud of your religion, your looks are what makes you unique and looks change over time. What is fashionable today will not be tomorrow and hey/ Who are these people that are telling you how you should dress and groom anyway? They don't care about you! They care about manipulating you to buy their stuff and the teens that mock or tease about Lack lack of style or coming from the wrong social strata and income range are the ones that are not cool. Stand tall, breathe calm and love who you are!
One of the premier success coaches in the world, Ken Baum has trained Olympic athletes, and business and thought leaders, and is the creator of the Mental Edge System, a world-class-level system that teaches people of every age and station how to create a success mindset in their own lives. His clients range from mega-companies Vans, Oakley, and Merrill Lynch; to individual champions like MMA World Champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane, X-Games gold medal winner Elliott Sloane, and the Tampa Bay Devil Ray’s Comeback Player of the Year Carlos Peña.
Aside from his client list reading like a Who’s Who of success in business and sports, Baum is known as one of the most dynamic and entertaining speakers in the world, connecting him with everything from small teen audiences to 14,000-seat arena crowds, where he has shared the stage with the biggest names in sports, politics, and industry, like Phil Jackson, John Wooden, Oprah, Larry King, Bob Dole, and Naomi Judd. He delivers thousands of seminars, workshops, and speeches annually, with praise from all walks of life. CBS News senior correspondent Ben Tracy says “he commands the stage like few have ever done,” Hall of Fame speaker Zig Ziegler describes him as a “skilled and powerful speaker,” and Tommy Lasorda gives the ultimate praise: “He is Mr. Mental Edge.”
In addition to his coaching and speaking, Baum is also an author of life-changing books like The Mental Edge: Maximize Your Sports Potential with the Mind-Body Connection (Perigee, 1999), Metabolize: The Personalized Program for Weight Loss (Putnam/Perigee, 2000), The Performance Zone (audiobook; Nightingale/Conant 2000) and Mind Over Business (Prentice Hall, 2012), and he has appeared in or written articles for major magazines and media outlets like BBC News, Success, ESPN, Men's Journal, Volleyball Monthly, Sports Illustrated for Women, and hosts of others.
Above all, Baum is a teacher. From arena crowds to intimate groups of disadvantaged teens to his own two children (both of whom made it through their own teen years relatively unscathed), Baum is dedicated to a world where people’s successes are determined not by circumstance, but by the success-oriented mindsets they create.
