Today on One Life Radio, we had Chris Gronkowski on the air to start off with a little football and dive right into his 2023 highlights along with his goals for 2024. Chris Gronkowski is the owner and inventor of the Ice Shaker, vacuum insulated bottles that hold ice for over 30 hours. In 2017, Chris and his brothers successfully pitched Ice Shaker on Shark Tank, ultimately partnering with Mark Cuban who helped grow the brand nationally. Before founding Ice Shaker, Chris played in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys, Indianapolis Colts, and Denver Broncos.  

Next up, we welcomed Dr. Philip William Gold to dive into his latest book “Breaking Through Depression“ and answers our questions on depressive disorders. Dr. Gold is one of the world’s leading researchers of depressive illness. For over three decades he has worked at the National Institutes of Health, where he has served as Chief of Neuroendocrine Research and Senior Investigator in the National Institute of Mental Health Intramural Research Program, and Chief of the Section on Neuroendocrinology. In his recent book, Breaking Through Depression: A Guide to the Next Generation of Promising Research and Revolutionary New Treatments, he draws upon his long-term research to delve into the interplay between our anatomy and our lived experiences as the key to understanding why there are such individual differences in how we make connections with others, deal with adversity, or recover from trauma. In his role at the NIH, Dr. Gold has studied the neurobiology of depression for decades and led a laboratory of over 30 individuals trained in neuroscience, molecular biology, endocrinology, neurology and psychiatry. He has written over 400 scientific articles that have been cited by over 65,000 publications including 16 in The New England Journal of Medicine. Dr. Gold has served as a member of the Library of Congress Council of Scholars, participated in the MacArthur Foundation Medical Network, received an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Athens School of Medicine, and was chosen as a Distinguished Alumnus of the Duke University School of Medicine. He also received The American Psychiatric Association highest honor, The Foundation Fund Prize for Research, and has delivered honorary lectures at Harvard University and the Japan Foundation.
