A native of suburban Chicago, Charles Thomas Jones was born on October 12, 1984 at Oak Park Hospital in Oak Park, IL. He grew up in Arlington Heights, IL and attended Prospect High School in Mount Prospect, IL and graduated in 2003. Upon graduating, Charles enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. On July 20th, 2003 he shipped off to Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) San Diego for basic training followed by Camp Pendleton, CA for combat training and then finally Ft. Leonard Wood in Missouri for Motor Vehicle Operators Course. After the training cycle, Charles was sent back to Camp Pendleton on orders to join the fleet at Headquarters Company, 1st Marine Regiment. Upon arrival Jones was immediately shipped out to Fallujah, Iraq in February, 2004 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom II (OIF II). There, like many others, Jones wore many hats that included training in Nuclear, Biological, Chemical (NBC) decontamination, first aid medical evacuation as an ambulance driver, and basic infantry training. After 14 months of deployment, Charles returned to Camp Pendleton, was promoted to the rank of corporal. After some time, Jones was sent to 29 Palms as an instructor/controller at Mojave Viper, teaching deploying units anti-terrorism measures such as setting up vehicle check points, searches, and detainment procedures as well as aiding in the testing of these units for their final exercise. After being promoted to the rank of Sergeant Charles was accepted at DePaul University in Chicago, IL and separated from active duty to pursue his education in business administration. About a year later he activated himself into the SMCR and join 2nd Battalion, 24th Marines in Chicago, IL as the Operations Chief for motor transport for the next almost 6 years. There he was promoted to the rank of Staff Sergeant, but would eventually leave the reserves and the Marines all together and was honorably discharged in April of 2015. Throughout his post active-duty time, Charles struggled with a alcoholism and depression for several years until finally seeking help. After a 56 day stay in rehab, Charles began his sober life and actively sought a new and more fulfilling life. After recalling a long forgotten personal favor, Charles began what would be the genesis of the Dear Calvin Project (and Survived Inc.) and through the support of his friends and family was able to create the first tribute video and started the company to bring this service to many as many Gold Star Families as possible. He hopes to expand the scope of Survived Inc. to aid Gold Star families in many different ways.

I’m Dr. Jill. I’m not your “traditional” doctor. As a specialist in Age Management Medicine and Hormonal Optimization, I have made it my life’s work to help women (and men!) RECLAIM their sense of Self, JUICINESS, Edge, and Vitality! Recently named one of LA Magazine’s Top Docs 2018-2022. I help people fully realize, embrace, and CELEBRATE their physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and sexual health and vitality! I can honestly say that it wasn't until I found my current speciality of Age Management/Hormone Optimization later in my career that I truly felt like I WOKE UP to my life. I call this my "hormonal awakening", which then led me to my mental, emotional, spiritual, and sexual awakenings. Until this, I felt like I was just going through the motions, and now I truly LOVE what I do, helping others wake up to their lives, and now with the advent of other therapies being available (ketamine specifically) to further expand people's full expression of themselves, free of the constraints of persistent depression, anxiety, and trauma. In my traditional Family Medicine practice I treated a significant amount of depression, anxiety, and mood disorders with the traditional therapies that were available at the time (antidepressants, anxiolytics, mood stabilizers). However, what I found through transitioning into my practice of Age Management Medicine/Hormone Optimization was that the very same symptoms used to diagnose and treat depression/anxiety/mood disorders are the same as hormone imbalance (and with future research, trauma). Many of my patients have been able to come off of their antidepressants/anxiolytics/mood stabilizers through optimizing their hormones, and truly go from surviving to thriving. I find the research around(and my personal experience) with psychedelic medicine) and its effects in helping with depression, anxiety, trauma, and beyond to be profound, so I went on to obtain training in KAP (Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy) to be able to help my patients expand into themselves and their lives even further. These three KEY statements are what I strive for with my clients: 1. It’s never too late, and you’re never too old to create a different ending to your story! 2. Forget “Aging gracefully”, because it’s not about “getting through it”, you deserve to age AMAZINGLY and live a truly “Juicy” life, at any age, or any stage! 3. Ditch the “Plan” and let life amaze you! https://www.drjillstocker.com Speaking Topics: Womb Trauma Awakening to the fullest version of you Hormone Health and Wellness (Women and Men)-Myths and Truths Sexual Health and Vitality-The "O" and Beyond
