EPISODE 023: In the bleakest moments of winter, people turn to the beloved classic movie, "It's a Wonderful Life" not just for its heartwarming Christmas cheer, but as a lifeline against depression. The film's portrayal of George Bailey's despair resonates deeply with those struggling with similar feelings, offering a relatable protagonist and glimmer of hope.

In the story, George Bailey's young daughter, Zuzu, with her innocent perspective and boundless love, plays a crucial role in reawakening George's joy of being alive. Her simple acts like gifting him the petals from her flower and reminding him about the angel getting its wings when a bell rings, serve as a powerful symbol of hope, and the importance of life's simple joys.

In this episode, I'm joined by Karolyn Grimes, the talented actress known for portraying Zuzu Bailey. She's here to discuss her experiences and journey as a child actress while shedding light on the cherished character she brought to life.

Also joining me, is psychotherapist Dr. Chris Brunelle, who'll be offering his perspective on this film's impact on mental health.

I'm Dr. Jen Palladino, a Chiropractor who specializes in the treatment of musician and performing artist injury. Music and the creative arts can change the world and I'm interested in exploring the passion that music and art evokes in people, whether it's playing or listening, or creating or observing. It's that powerful driving force within the human soul that sparks emotion, unites the masses, bridges language barriers, and heals the body, mind, and spirit.

I invite you to join me and discover the impactful message of self-worth and the significance of community within "It's a Wonderful Life", especially relevant during this holiday season--a period often defined by heightened pressure and loneliness. This timeless classic serves as a reminder that we are not alone, that our lives hold significance, and even if in the darkest moments, there is always hope for a brighter tomorrow.

EPISODE 019: Hey there! It’s Dr. Jen, host of Rock ‘N Healthy Lifestyles. I thought I’d do something a little different for this episode. A little while back, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Jason Scheurs, the host of the podcast, Scream Therapy. Scream Therapy explores how Punk Rock music can affect mental health in a positive way.

So, why was I a guest on Scream Therapy, you ask? Well, little does my Rock ‘N Healthy Lifestyles audience know but back in the day, that’s the mid to late 70’s to be precise, I was lucky enough to experience Punk Rock in its early inception. In other words, I was a bit of a “Sheena”, as in Punk Rocker, for those Ramones fans out there.

So, I thought by sharing this Scream Therapy episode, I would give my listening audience a better understanding of my background. And why I believe whole heartedly that music, all kinds of music, is the ultimate of healers.

And if you’re a returning listener or new to tuning in to Rock ‘N Healthy Lifestyles:

I’m Dr. Jen Palladino, a Chiropractor who specializes in the treatment of musician and performing artist injury. Music and the creative arts can change the world. And I’m interested in exploring the passion that music and art evokes in people. Whether it’s playing or listening, or creating or observing. It’s that powerful driving force within the human soul that sparks emotion, unites the masses, bridges language and cultural barriers, and heals the body, mind, and spirit.

So, keep listening especially if you’re into Old School Punk Rock. You know, like The Clash, The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, Blondie, Generation X, The Dead Boys, Television, Patti Smith. Old School. On both the New York and the London scenes. That’s right. Because I’m here to tell you all about it…

Scream Therapy is a podcast about using punk rock as a catalyst for mental health. Host Jason Schreurs welcomes members of the punk music scene who, like him, have lived experience with mental health challenges.

EPISODE 018: Would you quit your job right now if you could and instead, make a living from doing something that you’re really passionate about? You know, a job that you love so much, that when you open your eyes first thing in the morning, you can’t wait to start working? And even better yet, that “job you love” would involve your passion for say, music?

So, what kind of job can that be?

I’m Dr. Jen Palladino, a Chiropractor who specializes in the treatment of musician and performing artist injury. Music and the creative arts can change the world and I’m interested in exploring the passion that music and art evokes in people, whether it’s playing or listening, or creating or observing. It’s that powerful driving force within the human soul that sparks emotion, unites the masses, bridges language and cultural barriers, and heals the body, mind, and spirit.

So, the answer is YES! You can get a Master’s Degree in The Beatles! Dr. Mike Jones, is a professor at the University of Liverpool, and co-creator of the Master’s Degree program, The Beatles: Music Industry and Heritage. From being a main song writer for the popular British band, Latin Quarter, to co-creating and instructing a Beatles Master’s Degree program, Dr. Jones certainly knows how to incorporate his passion into his work. So, join me and hear how Dr. Jones took his love and knowledge for The Beatles and created something that is truly a testament to his deep appreciation and unwavering loyalty for the music!

EPISODE 017: Most everyone, myself included has a favorite band, musician, composer, or performer, whose music we just love. And whatever it is that intrigues us about this music will be life-changing for us in some way, shape or form. And because we identify and therefore, become emotionally attached to the music, we couldn't help but to extend our love and appreciation to that person or persons who's written played and performed these masterful compositions.

So then what constitutes a SUPERFAN? Firstly, let's define the word fan, which of course is short for the word fanatic which would be an enthusiastic devotee of say, a sport or a performing art, though, usually as a spectator. Another way to define the term fan is an ardent admirer or enthusiast of say a celebrity or a musician.

I'm sure most of us have seen fans in action at concerts during a performance, whether they're holding up signs or wearing t-shirts with the band's logo blazoned across their chest. Or even hanging around the backstage door area. Or maybe, we ourselves have done that in praise of our own favorites. Nevertheless, the devotion is real and taken extremely seriously.

My focus is to celebrate true fandom about those who whole heartedly and genuinely loved the music and its creator in a normal, stable and sound minded way.

So, I'll be introducing three super fans who were nice enough to talk to me about their super fandom.

Our first SUPERFAN is Keith whose love for the American multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, sound engineer, and record producer Todd Rundgren ranks Keith as a number one Todd Rundgren SUPERFAN.

Our next SUPERFAN is Jeff, who is a Bruce Springsteen-- the BOSS SUPERFAN.

And finally, Mia who loves her Harry Styles. Mia calls herself the ex-One Direction members devoted SUPERFAN.

Join Dr. Jen as she talks with these three SUPERFANS about their love for the music, the performer, and what it’s like being a devoted fan.
