Dr. Cynthia Ackrill, a stress expert, brain geek, and health and leadership coach on a mission to help us use science and wisdom to find ways to lead productive, happy, healthy lives joins eHealth Radio and the Stress Management Channel.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Dr. Cynthia Ackrill discuss the following:
It seems like everyone is talking about stress these days and we are more stressed than ever! With so much information available now, what’s really important to know, what’s new?
How do you even get started doing something about your stress when you are feeling so overwhelmed?
What mistakes do people make in tackling their stress?
What surprises your clients that does work?
Dr. Cindi Ackrill, MD brings a unique background to her leadership coaching. A graduate of Duke University and University of Maryland School of Medicine, she practiced primary care in both private and public health settings. Then motivated by her family’s ADHD, she spent a decade practicing applied neuropsychology, essentially looking “under the hood” of human behavior with brain-mapping and biofeedback. Still fascinated by how to really motivate and support healthy behavior choice, she turned to coach training and is certified in wellness coaching and leadership coaching. She became a firm believer that:1. Self-care IS leadership! 2. We need to embrace working with (instead of fighting) what makes us most human and strong. 3. We can do this better together. Cindi has worked extensively with physicians, attorneys, and professionals and executives in a variety of industries including the hardest: parenting—all high achievers trying to figure out how to be more effective, how to integrate the many demands of life and career, while finding meaning and deep satisfaction, as well as some fun. She also serves on the board of the American Institute of Stress and as faculty for the Healthcare Coaching Institute, College for Executive Coaching, and a Federal Leadership Institute, and speaks internationally about stress and energy management management, preventing burnout, and making happy brain choices. Cindi welcomes any questions and comments and can be reached through her website: www.cynthiaackrill.com.

Lydia delRossi of Soakees "Slip-On and Tie" Foot-Bath which allows virtually anyone to be able to enjoy all the benefits of a foot soaking - without ever having to use a tub of water on the floor ever again joins eHealth Radio and the Beauty and Health News Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Lydia delRossi discuss the following:What exactly are Soakees "Slip-On and Tie" Foot Bath Booties - and how do they work?What made you design these for the public - what was the inspiration?How can a 20 minute foot soak help people - why should they do it?Can anybody use these? Do they have to be in a certain place or area to use Soakees?How has the response been to Soakees so far?
Duration: 13:38
Since 2002 Lydia delRossi of Aiken, SC has developed Soakees "Slip-On and Tie" Foot Bath Booties as she manages Aiken Health Insurance - a full service Brokerage source for Nationwide "Alternative Health Insurance Strategies". Her Health Insurance business has lead her to see first hand how many people suffer from the very things a simple foot bath can help resolve - if only the foot bath process was easier. That was the mission of Soakees - and she succeeded.
She has used her sales and marketing experience over the past 14 years to developed a source for consumers to understand alternative coverage options available to them as well as offering guidance and coverage options for them - with Soakees being one of those "personal empowerment" development options which came from her exposure to the tremendous amount of people in her Health Insurance business who suffer from insomnia and anxiety and fatigue - all which cam be helped with this new "tool" holistically - vs taking more pharmaceuticals.
She has successfully driven the growth and development of several start- up companies which have launched innovative new products into the marketplace such as Soakees "Slip-On and Tie" FootBath Booties and "StepnSoak-911" Hoof Boots for the equine market.
A staunch supporter and active member of the nationally acclaimed Toastmasters she is a frequent invited speaker at the Business School Division of the University of South Carolina on marketing and business strategies and has had used her leadership abilities to define tools and resources for consumers to use which will significantly drop their out of pocket expense and help them find the best possible medical care - and optional venues for them to help themselves - regardless of if they have any Health Insurance coverage at all.
The goal Lydia delRossi and Soakees "Slip-On and Tie" Foot bath Booties are attaining is to give consumers the resources, tools and knowledge to help empower themselves and think "out of the box" when it comes to simple - easy and cost effective solutions they may have missed. We invented convenience for them.
