Ladies, are you frustrated with today`s men who won`t make decisions and are oblivious to problems that need their attention?  Men, do you feel women have lost respect for you? Today's guest will show what men can do to change and regain that love and respect and what  women can do to change the situation. Elliott Katz, author of Being the Strong Man A Woman Wants: Timeless Wisdom on Being a Man, explains how men after decades of developing their feminine side needs to listen to his masculine spirit and develop confidence in his manly side to gain love and respect from women. Elliott Katz understands why women today complain about the lack of quality men. "Today’s men have received so many confusing messages on what a man should be, they’re bewildered.” "To avoid accusations of being controlling, many men have gone to the other extreme and avoid showing leadership and making decisions. The irony is that while men think they’re being sensitive and non-controlling, the biggest complaint I hear from women is that men today don’t show leadership, they don’t make decisions and they won’t take responsibility in the relationship," says Katz. Get ready for an awesome show!

For years science has thought that there was no way to halt the death of brain cells that control our aging process, but recent neuroscience has actually discovered that we can grow new brain cells (neurogenesis) at ANY point in our lives.

With high rates, we flourish--demonstrating rapid learning, mental acuity, emotional resiliency, robust health and more.
