Dr. Benjamin Morrell is 1 of 14 children. He was raised in the humble countryside of Oklahoma. Since he was a young boy Dr. Morrell always had a sensitivity and ‘old soul’ quality to him allowing him to feel deeply and connect with strong emotions that would later on allow him to understand the inner workings of the human mind on an intuitive level.

Through traumatic events and adversity early in his life he developed a deep purpose and passion to help others do the same. At 18 he dedicated his life’s work to becoming a doctor in order to have access to help people at the highest level.

From community college to graduating Summa Cum Laude and eventually receiving his Doctorate of Medicine from University Of Oklahoma, Dr. Morrell understands what it takes to start from the bottom. Dr. Morrell believes in not only healing but to see his clients and patients truly thrive and succeed. Dr. Morrell sees the mind as just one part of the healing process and understands true healing requires that we look at the entirety of our lives. He uses the principles of Integrative Medicine to assess your life and help bring balance to all areas. Go learn more about him at LITCLINIC.com

For this week we're taking a bit of a left turn and discussing an amazing organization, CASA of Oklahoma County. I believe if you're going to focus on longevity and wellness and wholeness then giving back is part of it. If everything is just for US, then we're missing an important part of having a whole life.

Listen in on our conversation with Executive Director Kim Vanbebber and long time volunteer William Calvo from CASA where we discuss in detail CASA's mission (Court Appointed Special Advocates). CASA provides trained volunteers to be champions for the individualized best interests of children in foster care and how it's changed not only the lives of children in foster care, but of the adults who work with them, as well.
