Today’s guest is seven year NFL vet, Ryan Neufeld. Ryan played seven years in the NFL and had a chance to play with the Cowboys, Jaguars and Bills, where he finally retired in 2010. Ryan is passionate about supporting families living with autism. He and his wife of 15 years, Dawn Neufeld, now live in Texas with their two kids, one of which was diagnosed with autism at age 3. Since then, Ryan and Dawn have been passionate about leading the charge to help other families just like them get some answers in an area that has very few. Today, Ryan and Dawn actively speak out to let families know they are not alone and Ryan is very involved in the Miracle League in his hometown, which helps children and adults facing serious physical and mental disabilities the opportunity to play sports in a welcomed environment. Today we talk about a lot of things including being a father, briefly about his NFL career and how he and his wife have helped to empower their son to live a wonderful life while living with autism.

There are phases to a vegan diet. In fact, when you first start out, you can get pretty frustrated. The frustration stems from others not knowing what you know when it comes to how great you feel eating more fruits and veggies. No worries. That frustration will go away. Your job will become one that inspires others. Your job is not to convert them to veganism. It is to inspire and help them understand that you are an open book that is ready to talk whenever they are.

Joan's transformation journey began five years ago when she said she was fatigued, suffering from painful arthritis, and struggled to walk up and down stairs.
Joan MacDonald's breaking point, she said, came when she was told by a doctor that her blood pressure was rising and she would need to again increase her medication.
Her daughter, Michelle, was visiting her at the time and challenged her to make changes to her diet and exercise to improve her quality of life.
"When Michelle gave me that ultimatum to do something about my life, I figured it's now or never," Joan MacDonald said. "I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. It was existing, not living."
