Ep #129 Over the course of her 20 year career, Keri Cooper observed how children and teens continued to suffer day in and day out despite following conventional mental health protocols. As a result, she began to question if it was possible that mental health is more than just in the brain and became passionate about the need for a more integrative approach based on the belief that one needs to prioritize their physical and emotional wellbeing to build a foundation for mental health.
Last year, Keri published her book, “Mental Health Uncensored: 10 Foundations Every Parent Needs to Know, where she shares the proven, real-life strategies that she has used in her own practice. She addresses the importance of teaching young people the positive impact that healthy lifestyle changes can have on their mental health. And she highlights to parents the critical importance of learning to let children become independent, letting go of guilt, overdoing and over worrying. Keri emphasizes modeling basic mental health habits such as being able to say “no” and setting up good boundaries in relationships.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
