Cristina Gutierrez, co-founder of Lotus Disability, a membership platform and vetted marketplace built around one core idea: navigating life with a serious health condition shouldn't be a full-time job on top of everything else joins eHealth Radio and the Health News Channel.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Cristina Gutierrez discuss the following:
- Why is disability management so complicated today?
- Many organizations believe they have a strong disability-inclusion strategy, yet most disabilities remain undisclosed. Why do you think that gap exists, and what can employers do to build enough trust that employees feel comfortable asking for support?
- You've worked in HR and now lead a company helping employers navigate disability support. What is the biggest misconception employers have about disability management/benefits? How can they shift from a compliance mindset to one focused on employee success?
- Disability affects far more employees and caregivers than many organizations realize. How can employers better recognize the hidden impact disability has on productivity, retention, and engagement before it turns into burnout or turnover?
- As benefits packages continue to evolve, where do you think traditional health plans and employee-assistance programs fall short in supporting employees with disabilities and caregivers, and how can employers close those gaps?
- If you could give every CEO or CHRO one piece of advice about building a workplace where employees with disabilities can truly thrive, what would it be, and why is that investment good for both people and business performance?
Cristina Gutierrez is Co-Founder of Lotus Disability, a membership platform and vetted marketplace built around one core idea: navigating life with a serious health condition shouldn't be a full-time job on top of everything else. Cristina and her co-founder, Emily Stanislaus, started Lotus after seeing firsthand how much time, money, and energy gets absorbed by what they call the "disability tax," the constant work of finding the right equipment, the right benefit, or the right person who can actually help. Lotus connects members directly to vetted vendors and resources across the areas that matter most, from adaptive equipment to personal care to legal and financial navigation, so members can spend less time searching and more time living their lives.
Cristina brings over a decade of Fortune 500 HR leadership to that mission, having worked at American Express, Kabbage, Marriott International, and McKinsey & Company. She holds a B.A. in Psychology from Agnes Scott College and a Master's in Industrial Organizational Psychology from the University of West Florida, a combination that shapes how she approaches Lotus: less about building another platform and more about understanding people well enough to build something that meets them where they are.
Outside of work, Cristina is happiest outside and on the move enjoying life with her wife and cofounder, and their two boys.

- Janet, with over 35 years of experience bringing landmark treatments like LEUKINE® and FLU-BLOK® from clinical development to commercialization, you have a deep public health and scientific perspective on drug development. From an R&D leadership standpoint, what drew you to this chapter at Atossa, and how does your background shape your vision for the company’s expansion into rare diseases?
- Over the past several months, Atossa has made an aggressive, synchronized push into the orphan disease space securing back-to-back FDA Rare Pediatric Disease designations for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and McCune-Albright Syndrome (MAS), while simultaneously appointing a dedicated Medical Director for Rare Diseases. Why is now the optimal moment for Atossa to rapidly scale this multi-pronged, rare disease strategy alongside your established breast oncology programs?
- The company’s lead product candidate is (Z)-endoxifen. For those unfamiliar with the compound, how does Atossa’s proprietary oral formulation differ from traditional treatments like tamoxifen, particularly regarding its safety profile, and mechanisms like PKC inhibition?
- The FDA has granted (Z)-endoxifen both Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease (RPD) designations for DMD. How do these specific designations alter Atossa’s clinical and regulatory strategy?
- The regulatory landscape for orphan drugs is transforming rapidly, especially with the FDA's new Rare Disease Innovation Hub and accelerated approval frameworks. How are these new federal guidelines changing the way biotech companies design clinical trials and talk to regulators?
- Given your prior leadership role at AVI BioPharma (now Sarepta Therapeutics), a pioneer in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and your background teaching biomedical regulatory affairs, how does that specific rare-disease experience inform your scientific and clinical strategy as Atossa advances (Z)-endoxifen for DMD and McCune-Albright Syndrome?

SUMMARY: As both a nurse and a mom, I’ve learned that protecting our babies isn’t about living in fear—it’s about making informed, practical choices. Simple habits like washing hands, avoiding close contact with people who are sick, staying current with your pediatrician’s recommendations, breastfeeding when possible, and using thoughtful protective tools during higher-risk situations can all help reduce unnecessary exposure while allowing families to confidently enjoy life together. My hope is that parents feel empowered with knowledge, trust their instincts, and remember that small, intentional steps can make a meaningful difference.

Combining her professional healthcare experience with her firsthand perspective as a mom, she invented Snuggle Shield to help families reduce exposure to everyday airborne particles, allergens, and environmental irritants while maintaining comfort, breathability, and visibility. Today, Snuggle Shield has earned multiple national awards, including Parent Tested Parent Approved (PTPA), NAPPA Awards, and Baby Innovation Awards, and has been featured by major media outlets including FOX 5 San Diego, KTLA, LA Living, LA Parent Magazine and Baby Maternity Magazine.

He specializes in breast and body procedures including breast augmentation, breast revision, tummy tuck, and liposuction, with a commitment to delivering results that are as natural as they are beautiful. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Glenn Lyle discuss the following: 1. One of the most common reasons patients seek revision is capsular contracture — can you explain what that is, why it happens, and how you address it surgically? 2. A question many patients have is simply: how long do implants actually last? Is there a point where revision becomes not just an option but a necessity? 3. You've been working with Motiva implants — can you talk about what makes them different from traditional implants and how they've changed the conversation around breast augmentation and revision? 4. For a patient coming in with older implants who wants to upgrade to something like Motiva, what does that revision process look like from consultation through recovery? 5. What advice would you give to someone who had augmentation years ago, isn't sure if something is wrong, but has never gone back for a follow-up?

Jennifer Kaufman, a special education administrator, author of Grandparenting on the Spectrum, and founder of First Response Autism Solutions, bringing over 20 years of expertise to families, grandparents, and first responders navigating the world of autism joins eHealth Radio and the Autism & Health News Channels. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Jennifer Kaufman discuss the following: 1. You've been in special education for over 20 years and then your grandson was diagnosed with autism. Did that change anything for you, or did you feel like you already had it covered? 2. A lot of grandparents come into this with a picture in their head of what being a grandparent in their grandchild's life is going to look like. When that picture changes, it can be really hard. How do grandparents shift those expectations in a way that actually lets them show up better for their adult child? 3. What does chronic stress actually do to the body of a caregiver who has been at this for years and doesn't think of themselves as someone who needs help? 4. You also train police and first responders on how to best support autistic community members. What is the one thing that stops officers cold when they go through your training, and why does it matter to every family listening right now? 5. You wrote a book, you train first responders, you run a school. What do you want the average person who knows nothing about autism to walk away knowing after this conversation?
HELPFUL TIPS: If your grandchild or child has autism, get them in the water early. Swim lessons are not optional for this population. Over 90% of accidental deaths of people with autism involve drowning. That statistic does not have to be your family's story. Find a program, find an instructor, find a way. It is that important. The next time a child is struggling in public and your instinct is to wonder why they can't just behave, try replacing that thought with this one. They are not giving anyone a hard time. They are having one. That shift in thinking costs you nothing and it changes everything about how you respond. Jennifer Kaufman has spent many years working with children with autism as a school principal in northern New Jersey. She knows the IEPs, the behavioral supports, the family meetings, and the moments when everything clicks for a child who has been struggling. But a few years ago, her understanding of autism became personal in a way she never anticipated, when her grandchild was diagnosed. That experience changed her. Not her expertise, but her perspective. Suddenly she was the grandmother feeling the same mix of love, fear, and uncertainty that she had watched so many families navigate over the years. She was also the grandmother working to support her own daughter. It gave her something that two graduate degrees and decades of administrative experience could not: the view from the other side of the desk. That is the story behind her 2025 book, Grandparenting on the Spectrum: A Journey from Both Sides of the Desk, which speaks directly to grandparents who want to support their families but often don't know how. The book has connected with readers across the country who finally feel that someone understands their specific experience in the autism journey. Jennifer's advocacy work takes several forms. Through her speaking and workshop program, she addresses grandparent groups, family organizations, police departments and universities, focusing on practical tools and emotional honesty. Through her training company, First Response Autism Solutions, LLC, she works with law enforcement agencies, police academies, and campus security teams to prepare first responders for interactions with individuals with autism. Her trainings are grounded in real experience, not theory, and first responders consistently say they leave feeling genuinely prepared in a way that traditional training never provided. Jennifer has appeared on television and across numerous podcast platforms and is a recognized voice in the autism advocacy community. She holds graduate degrees in Educational Technology and Educational Leadership and is certified as both a Principal and Superintendent in New Jersey. She doesn't approach autism advocacy as an outsider looking in. She has built her career around it, raised a grandchild touched by it, and made it her mission to ensure that the people who love and serve individuals with autism have every tool they need to do it well.

Eric Kinkel, musician and Founder of Howl Moon Productions, Executive Producer of the documentary “In Search of His Lost Cords,” which chronicles Eric’s journey after brain trauma as he explores emerging AI and advanced technologies to help restore his voice joins eHealth Radio and the Brain Health & Health News Channels. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Eric Kinkel discuss the following: 1. Your documentary, “In Search of His Lost Cords,” follows your journey after brain trauma left you unable to sing and with limited speech. What exactly happened neurologically, and how did it disrupt the brain’s connection to your voice? 2. Your case raises an interesting question about how the brain translates intention into speech and singing. What have you learned about that brain-to-voice pathway through your journey? 3. After years of working with physicians and rehabilitation specialists with no improvement, you began exploring emerging science and even AI as possible tools to help restore your voice. What kinds of technologies or research are giving you hope? 4. For listeners who may have experienced brain trauma, stroke, or neurological injury affecting speech, what lessons have you learned about persistence, advocacy, and navigating the medical system? 5. Many people assume that if the vocal cords are healthy, the voice should work. Your experience shows that the brain plays the central role. What do you wish more people understood about the neurological side of voice and speech? 6. Your story is deeply personal, but it also raises larger questions about how medicine and technology might work together in the future. What do you hope researchers, neurologists, and the scientific community take away from your journey?
Eric Kinkel is an Illinois native, lifelong musician, songwriter, producer, and concert curator whose career spans decades of performance, composition, and community-driven music making. Musically inclined from the age of 12, Kinkel is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist proficient in piano, guitar, and bass, recognized for a deeply personal approach to songwriting rooted in melody, emotion, and storytelling. Five years ago, Kinkel’s life and career were fundamentally altered when deep brain trauma caused the loss of both his speaking and singing voice. After years of consultations with doctors, hospitals, and specialists that failed to provide effective answers or meaningful progress, he was forced to confront the loss of the very instrument that defined his artistic and personal identity. Rather than withdrawing from his life’s work, Kinkel committed himself to understanding his condition and pursuing a path forward grounded in perseverance, clarity, and purpose. That quest is documented in “In Search of His Lost Cords,” a deeply personal documentary executive produced by Kinkel that chronicles his pursuit to reclaim his voice through emerging interventional quantum-based science and advanced AI-driven technologies. Featuring rare archival footage and an intimate interview with Kinkel in his current condition, the film traces his evolution from accomplished performer to resilient seeker of answers, offering a powerful testament to perseverance, innovation, and the enduring human drive to reclaim one’s voice. Throughout the years leading up to his brain trauma, Kinkel built a diverse and respected musical career. He performed as bassist for the band Scepter, recorded radio commercial jingles and a syndicated movie review theme, and developed a distinctive compositional voice that extended beyond traditional rock formats. He later joined the local rock band Lost Nation as lead singer and co-songwriter, solidifying his role as a frontman and lyricist. In 1987, he released his first solo recording, “A Long Time Coming,” a ten-song album featuring eight original compositions, followed by years of live performances at nightclubs, coffee houses, private events, and speaking engagements throughout the Chicago area. His recorded work continued with a digitally remastered CD single released in 1999, featuring “Antique Spirits” and a rendition of the late Michael Peter Smith’s “The Dutchman,” and a deepening commitment to collaboration across folk, rock, acoustic, and Americana genres. Kinkel’s later performance work reflected an increasingly thematic and curated approach to live music, blending artistry with philanthropy. Between 1997 and 2004, he produced and headlined three major benefit concerts in honor of his late sister, Linda Kinkel, who during that time was bedridden due to chronic progressive Multiple Sclerosis. The concerts raised nearly $46,000 for Multiple Sclerosis awareness and support, uniting musicians across genres in a shared cause. In August 2010, he and his band Acoustic Thunder presented the “Inspirations Concert” at the Schaumburg Prairie Center for the Arts, featuring Grammy Award–winning artist Bill Miller and Chicago rock icon Dirty Dan Buck. The concert incorporated audiovisual tributes to Kinkel’s late mother and sister, with a portion of proceeds donated to the National Multiple Sclerosis Foundation. In September 2011, Kinkel produced a solo, three-set theatrical concert titled “Love Songs, Blues Tunes, and Memorable Melodies,” blending acoustic performance with guest appearances by notable Chicago musicians, including Dean Milano, Traci Abel, Patti Prendergast, Salina Norman, John Abel, and Bob Abrams of The Buckinghams. Beginning in 2019, Kinkel entered the studio to complete a final body of recorded work rooted in personal expression rather than genre, resulting in the release of songs including “Watching Clouds,” “We Are Even,” “Goldmoor’s View,” “Tracez,” “Nothing’s Wrong Song,” “Paradise On Earth,” and “Autumnal Way,” now available across major digital platforms. In addition to his philanthropic work, Kinkel is widely recognized for producing and overseeing the creation of a permanent memorial honoring Marion Dorothy Nugent, the late mother of rock musician Ted Nugent. Following a benefit concert held to raise funds for the project, Kinkel successfully produced and erected a four-ton monument that now stands outside the Durty Nellie’s music venue in Palatine, Illinois. Dedicated in 2007, the monument garnered national and international media attention and remains an enduring civic and cultural landmark—one of the projects for which Kinkel is best known within media and music circles. Today, Kinkel’s creative legacy and ongoing search for answers continue through “In Search of His Lost Cords,” which stands not only as a record of his past accomplishments, but as a living document of resilience, scientific exploration, and hope in the face of profound change.

I have become an ambassador for mental health. It's not a heavy read. I aim to inspire and entertain. Its funny. More Ruby Wax OBE, author, actress, comedian and broadcaster who has depression and Sir Stephen Fry, author, actor, director comedian, broadcaster and quiz show host who has bipolar disorder. My role models. It is preventative. I warn you of possible triggers to avoid. Things that can press your buttons. We are vulnerable when we have had an episode. We are weak and need to build up our resilience. I show you tricks of the mind to put you in a more positive place and combat stigma. Meditation has worked wonders for me. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it! My sister and I went on a Buddhist retreat in Derbyshire, UK a couple of years ago at the Tara International Kadampa Centre. The tide is turning in a time of global crisis in mental health. I am calling for a more holistic treatment of body, mind and spirit. Family and friends can be supportive. They can also be tactless.

The importance of diet. I lost 63 lbs with Slimming World. I look and feel great. The prescription drugs turned me into a fat zombie with the classic shuffling gait. I got kidney damage from being put on an inaccurately monitored dose of lithium. The book traces the historic abuse of the mentally ill.

What structural weaknesses did you see firsthand, and how is BoomRx redesigning sourcing and fulfillment to reduce vulnerability for medical clinics? 2. For years, pharmacy sourcing decisions were often driven by cost alone. What does true supply-chain resilience look like today, and how should physician practices rethink the way they evaluate pharmacy partners? 3. You’ve positioned BoomRx as a technology platform, not just a sourcing solution. How does centralized visibility and automation strengthen consistency, transparency, and predictability in pharmaceutical fulfillment? 4. Breakdowns in communication often create more disruption than product shortages themselves. How are you building systems that improve responsiveness and accountability between pharmacies and physician practices? 5. As health, wellness and longevity therapies and specialized compounded medications expand, what operational shifts must medical clinics make now to ensure they’re working with supply partners that can scale responsibly and compliantly? 6. If you could give physician practices one actionable tip to immediately strengthen their pharmacy sourcing and fulfillment strategy, what would it be?

Having grown up on a dairy-farm-turned-beef-farm in rural southwestern Virginia, embracing a whole-foods, plant-predominant eating pattern might not have been in his genes. But creating a garden with his two green thumbs from Granny definitely was.
Attending college at Mary Washington, medical school at the University of Virginia, and specialty training in psychiatry and preventive medicine at Emory University took this proverbial boy off the farm, but as all who know the old saying might suspect, the farm had not been taken out of him. In a mid-life burst of productivity, he built a compact, organic-certified vegetable farm and got smart about growing and savoring vegetables.

With over 20 years of experience and an artist’s eye, Dr. Spiro brings fresh insight into how modern implant technology, patient lifestyle, and aesthetic goals are reshaping breast augmentation today.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Scott Spiro discuss the following:
- Dr. Spiro, given the title of this podcast, you know the first question that begs to be asked, why the paradigm shift?
- If I may interrupt at the point please describe capsular contracture.
- So, we are in the early 2000s with sub-pectoral or sub-muscular implant placement and a decade dominated by textured implants. Continue please.
- Implant laterization? Please explain further.
- So it seems this was the test case for this modern day shift for cosmetic implant surgery?
- Can you elaborate back on this "cohesivity of implants” what is cohesivity?
- Ok, gravity is undefeated. More women are valuing the benefits of weight training fitness, generation 6 implants, are more highly cohesive, but what about the human tissue grafts you mentioned earlier?
- Slowly absorbable meshes? Can you elaborate on that one?
- And the results so far? Are you pleased?
- May I ask again about the lateralization problem, how does pre-pectoral decrease that concern?

Dr. Stephanie Teotia, a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon known for her welcoming environment with her all-female team located in the Dallas area again joins eHealth Radio and the Plastic Surgery Information Channel. She specializes in a number of plastic surgery procedures, including facelifts, neck lifts, breast enhancements, and tummy tucks.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Stephanie Teotia discuss the following:
- For patients who may be unfamiliar, can you briefly explain the difference between general and local anesthesia?
- In your practice, what kinds of procedures are most commonly done under each type of anesthesia?
- Are there any advantages to doing a procedure under local anesthesia when it’s an option?
- What do patients typically want to know—or worry about—when they hear they'll be under general anesthesia and are there certain patients or conditions where general anesthesia is not recommended?
- Do you have any advice for patients who are nervous about being awake during a procedure under local anesthesia?
Joining us today is Dr. Stephanie Teotia an acclaimed board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon based in Flower Mound, TX, serving the Dallas-Fort Worth area. In this episode, Dr. Teotia will break down the difference between general and local anesthesia and explain her pioneering in-office facelift, neck lift, and eyelid lift techniques that allow patients to self-administer sedation.
Many people feel intimidated by the idea of being under general anesthesia because they worry about the potential of adverse effects. Additionally, general anesthesia may be especially risky for people with chronic conditions like heart, lung, and kidney disease. Local anesthesia is typically safer because it only numbs a specific area of the body, allowing patients to remain awake and alert during their procedures. Dr. Teotia’s in-office surgeries are more affordable than traditional procedures with fewer chances of complications. This conversation is your chance to learn how to remain in full control within a relaxed, comfortable setting.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Azja Pryor discuss the following:
- May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and so many moms are quietly struggling. Why do you think it’s important that we talk more openly about maternal mental health—and what inspired you to focus your work in this space?
- You’ve educated moms and dads, and even NICU healthcare teams on the power of baby wearing. Can you walk us through how something as simple as wearing your baby can actually help reduce stress and promote emotional connection?
- A lot of new moms love the idea of baby wearing but worry they’ll ‘do it wrong’ or that their baby won’t like it. What would you say to someone feeling that way?
- Can you share a story—maybe a moment that really stuck with you—about how baby wearing made a difference in a mom’s mental health journey?
- There are so many baby carriers out there—it can be kind of overwhelming for new moms. For someone just starting out, especially if they're dealing with postpartum stress or anxiety, are there certain types of carriers or brands you find really supportive or easy to use?
Azja Pryor, a CBWS-trained babywearing educator with seven years of experience, is passionate about supporting parents in this journey by introducing them to the transformative benefits of babywearing.
Through her work with diverse communities, including collaborations with the National Birth Equity Collaborative (NBEC) and an in-person workshop for Alexandria House, that provides refuge for women and children experiencing trauma, Azja has seen firsthand how babywearing can be a powerful tool for mental wellness. The simple act of carrying a baby closely fosters emotional regulation, reduces stress, and promotes bonding, which can ease feelings of anxiety and postpartum depression.
Beyond convenience, baby-wearing empowers caregivers by providing a sense of confidence, connection, and calm during one of life’s most demanding transitions. It allows parents to be present, both physically and emotionally, while also maintaining a sense of self.
Azja’s expertise offers invaluable insight into the intersection of mental health and parenthood, making her an ideal voice for self-care and mental wellness to discuss how babywearing can provide emotional relief and resilience for parents and caregivers.

Joan K. Peters who got her Ph.D in comparative literature from The University of Chicago joins eHealth Radio and the Health News Channel. She's published a novel and two books about women and work and is a professor emeritus of literature and writing at California State University at Channel Islands. Her new book is Untangling: A Memoir of Psychoanalysis.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Joan K. Peters discuss the following:
- What made you want to write a memoir of psychoanalysis, which is so personal and private? Why expose yourself in that way?
- Everyone seems to go to therapy but you rarely hear anyone talk about psychoanalysis, what does it add to therapy? What made you choose it over therapy?
- What will other people learn about themselves from reading about your personal journey through psychoanalysis?
- How is your life different after psychoanalysis, and what were the great change agents in the process?
- Do you feel psychoanalysis, as you experienced it, has something important to say about our culture at this time?
UNTANGLING: With the drama of a novel, Untangling tells the story of a transformative psychoanalysis, the first in-depth account by a patient. In Peters’ tempestuous twenties, a classical analysis quieted her recurring nightmares through a discovery of her family’s secret past. Decades later, her second analyst, Kristi, guided her through the frightening depths of that past as it played out in the intense strife and love in their relationship. In another first, Kristi writes an afterword about the challenge of analyzing Peters. Unique in its reach, Untangling reveals the inner workings of psychoanalysis and of the psyche.

- You work with both adults and children helping them form positive habits and develop lifelong skills to excel in all categories of their lives, while also reducing stress and finding balance. Can you share with us a tip that can help listeners better manage the stress in their daily lives.
- You talk about routines and how a routine can help reduce stress. Tell us about how sticking to a routine can help with stress management.

- For parents listening who have children or teens that might struggle with stress or executive functioning challenges, are there any added stress management tips that you have for younger people?
Tip: Defining pleasurable anchors to ground you in your day will decrease stress. Daily consistent anchors should associate with the beginning, middle and end of each day. By having these set moments that you can count on, your body can then feel the relief of the reliability of the known. These can be tiny moments like having a cup of coffee, looking out the window or taking a walk to get the mail in the mornings. A particular snack break where you enjoy your plants or an evening reading of a book or listening to music at a relatively set time (ideally moments should not involve screens and should be transferable to any location). You can breathe into these moments and build life around them to keep you centered, grounded and anchored.

Thomas J. LaGrave, Jr., a bestselling author, former Navy SEAL, and licensed clinical social worker dedicated to mentoring and transforming the lives of adolescent men through education, healing, and advocacy joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Mental Health Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Thomas J. LaGrave, Jr. discuss the following:
- What issues are most destructive to our young people in today's world?
- What is it that our youth need most to thrive in the modern era?
- What can parents do to help support the mental health of their children?
- Why did you write the book: "Special Welfare . Social Warfare - Adolescence to Adulthood, a Guidebook?
- What can the older generations (The Greatest, The Silent, and Boomer's) do to help their grandchildren to thrive in our modern society?
Summary: The best approach for raising teens is authoritative parenting—balancing warmth with clear expectations. Unlike authoritarian control or permissive leniency, this style helps teens develop independence while staying grounded. Teens are highly influenced by social media and peer pressure, making parental guidance crucial. Studies show that youth with personal aspirations for adulthood—like career or family goals—are far less likely to engage in risky behaviors. Encourage open conversations, set clear expectations, and support their dreams. It’s the best way to guide them toward a successful, responsible adulthood.
Thomas J. LaGrave Jr. is a bestselling author, licensed clinical social worker, and the founder of HonorBound Academy, a year-long immersive program based in Sonoma, California, dedicated to the education, healing, and mentorship of adolescent men.

His latest book, Special Welfare, Social Warfare, launched in November and follows his earlier work, The Bell Tolls For Thee: A Soliloquy. LaGrave’s career spans hospital work, adolescent mental health, addiction recovery, and youth incarceration programs. He also served as a Military Family & Life Consultant for U.S. Armed Forces Special Operations Command.
His commitment to shaping the future of at-risk youth through innovative programs and personal mentorship has positioned him as a leading voice in adolescent mental health and social development.

- Today we’re here to learn more about the importance of regular vision care in children. Is there significant unmet need in children and why are missed vision screenings a problem?
- What is EyeCare4Kids and why did you start this non-profit organization?
- How does EyeCare4Kids provide services to under-resourced children and their families?
- Can you share a story of the impact your organization has on your patients? What are some of the immediate and longer-term benefits?
- How can people learn more about EyeCare4Kids?
Summary: Studies show that good vision is vital to a child’s success at school, among peers, and to participate in extracurricular activities. However, 1 in 4 children in the United States have imperfect vision in the United States, which is a problem given that 80 percent of a child's learning happening through the eyes. Further, vision problems are more than double than the national average in high-poverty neighborhoods. My advice to parents is to make sure that vision care is part of your child’s annual list of check-ups, either by visiting EyeCare4Kids directly, or finding a similar resource in your community.
A board-certified optician since 1975, Joseph Carbone is the founder and president of the non-profit organization, EyeCare4Kids™. Focused on rural and underserved areas, including indigenous, immigrant, and refugee communities mostly in Utah, Arizona, Idaho, New Mexico, and Nevada, with plans to expand into California and New Jersey, EyeCare4Kids provides professional eye care to low-income, visually impaired children and underserved families through five community-based clinics, annual school-based clinics, and a mobile vision van that travels to community locations across the southwest. Since its founding in 2001, the organization has helped more than 400,000 children whose families cannot afford or face barriers to seeking out regular eye exams and corrective glasses, when needed.

Hurst has been at the forefront of the intersection between traditional media and emerging technologies, particularly in areas like virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and cross-platform storytelling.

James Marsh, CEO of The SleepVibe, a compact sleep aid that enhances deep sleep without needing headphones or audible sound joins eHealth Radio and the Health News, Sleep Health and Technology Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest James Marsh discuss the following:
- I understand you are an engineer who was caring for a family member facing sleep disruptions. What are the harms and dangers of sleep issues?
- You came up with two technologies to create SleepVibe. Can you describe how does the technology work? What can people expect once they turn it on?
- Who would benefit from this technology aside from those with disruption or lack of sleep?
- How does a patient using SleepVibe know if the aid works? What have users told you how they have benefited from your invention so far?
- Where can folks facing this issue get more information?
In 2020, a devoted husband invented SleepVibe to help his wife who was suffering from a debilitating neurological disorder, and only getting 1–3 hours of sleep per night. The lack of sleep, on top of the challenging disorder, made her days even harder. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, it was extremely difficult and essentially impossible to get needed caregivers, he was up 1-3 hours a night for months on end. In desperation, by combining variations of existing tech, Founder Jim Marsh created the SleepVibe.
By using Binaural Beats Technology and a low-voltage, low-frequency field, similar to Earth’s natural frequencies, he was able to help her sleep more deeply. In addition, it helped him get better sleep in the time he had available. Through his own experience, James experienced the negative impact a lack of adequate sleep can have on patients, caregivers, and in general. Through discussions with many people suffering from lack of sleep, SleepVibe Inc. was created with the mission of helping people get better, deeper, more restorative sleep so they can enjoy and live a fulfilling life.

Pickle Juice is just the kind of no-spin, real deal, game-changing product Keuppens loves to bring to market. Indeed, the beverage has highly research, study-backed benefits.

His approach with Pickle Juice is not just touting product properties, but also offering consumers a visualization exercise in performance achievements and rewards. Keuppens understands the athlete brain as the Coach and Director of Rugby with the Dallas Rugby Football Club, and the 7s Competition Commissioner with the Red River Rugby Conference. He currently resides in Dallas, Texas.

Christi serves as the Executive Director at Axiom Care, showing up every day with a passion to care for the patients. Christi knows first-hand just how hard (and just how rewarding) it is to be in recovery. Christi struggled with a methamphetamine addiction that took almost everything from her, and spent a lot of time in and out of jail. Christi’s history of substance use is not unlike most in Arizona, as methamphetamine is the state’s number one drug threat (especially as street prices drop). She proudly shares her Department of Corrections (DOC) number because it makes her relatable to many others in recovery looking for their second chance as well. Christi experienced the apathetic care that most recovery centers give and was even told, “You’ll be back here” while in jail. Eventually, being abstinent from drugs, she began working as a graveyard Behavioral Health Technician for a recovery center. However, it seemed that not enough people cared about the patients or their jobs – just the paycheck that came with it. Until she found Axiom Care. Christi seamlessly aligned with Axiom Care’s passion for holistic, long-term care and seeing patients find their second chances. Her personal experiences supported her in forming her leadership style and finding new ways to make a difference daily. Christi is passionate about transforming lives and reshaping the landscape of substance use treatment.

He’s also appeared as guests on Live with Kelly, NBC’s Today Show, CBS This Morning, The Wendy Williams Show, The Dr. Oz Show, The Tamron Hall Show and many others. With such a diverse background, when it came time for college—New York City seemed the obvious choice. So Duran left his beloved Caracas behind to attend New York University, where he majored in Mass Media and Communications Studies. Post college, Duran continued to follow his Radio Muse, working as an on-air personality for an award-winning comedy show on WPLJ and WABC in New York. In 2000, Duran began to produce on the popular MTV show, House of Style, and promptly began to host on the Latin music television station HTV. By 2002 George would follow his culinary passion to Paris, France, where he attended culinary school at L’École Supérieure de Cuisine Française. While attending school, Duran created and hosted in French the culinary show Pop Cuisine on France’s Cuisine TV network. His unpretentious, quirky culinary style was a hit—garnering Pop Cuisine a nomination for a French Emmy for Best Cable Show as well as an International Gastronomic Award. In 2005, Duran returned to New York, taking his career as a TV Chef to the next level— creating and hosting Food Network’s popular Ham on the Street. A couple years later Duran expanded his presence on the network, hosting The Secret Life of…, a light hearted exploration of the history of the foods we love. < p>By October, 2008, George’s popular cookbook, Take This Dish and Twist It hit bookstore shelves. As colorful and funny as the chef himself, Duran’s book is packed with highly useful tips, extremely amusing anecdotes—and of course, obscenely mouthwatering recipes, revealing his delectably unexpected take on comfort foods and snacks. In 2010 George was asked to join TLC’s prime time line-up by hosting The Ultimate Cake Off! where the nation’s top cake artists compete against each other to build the ultimate cake. He currently lives with his wife and his two picky-eating sons in Harlem, NY. For further information check out http://www.georgeduran.com.

Kelly Kimple the CEO of Adventures in Good Company, a community of women with adventurous spirits who support each other and relish time together in the outdoors joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Mental Health Channels. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Kelly Kimple discuss the following: 1. Share a personal experience or anecdote from your own outdoor adventures that highlights the profound impact of nature and group travel on mental well-being? 2. What unique mental health benefits do guided adventures (like Adventures in Good Company) offer, especially for women, that may not be as readily accessible during solo trips or other forms of travel? 3. Adventures in Good Company emphasizes creating supportive environments for participants. How do these group dynamics contribute to building a sense of community and connection among women, fostering positive mental health outcomes? 4. Can you elaborate on how acquiring new outdoor skills, alongside expert guidance, contributes to boosting confidence and overall mental well-being? 5. Outdoor adventures, while transformative, can pose challenges. How does Adventures in Good Company address the potential stressors associated with travel, and what strategies or support systems are in place to ensure participants feel secure and comfortable throughout their journeys?
Raised in rural New England, access to nature was abundant and outdoor adventuring came naturally to Adventures in Good Company’s CEO, Kelly Kimple. Even though her parents were not particularly outdoorsy, she took advantage of every opportunity to ski, hike, paddle, and explore the mountains, trails, rivers and lakes around her home. She followed this passion out west to the University of Montana, graduating from the Davidson Honors College with a double major in Wildlife Biology and Botany. Over the next decade, in addition to checking a lot of the national parks off her list, she pursued a career in conservation biology. She went on to receive a master’s degree in Natural Resource Management at the University of Arizona, and then moved to Fort Collins, Colorado to work for a non-profit doing research on bird population trends. While still a conservationist at heart, she was looking for a change from research, and after trying her hand at program administration, business development, and marketing for several years, she was fortunate to find her true calling in the adventure travel industry. She joined Adventures in Good Company in 2018 and the next year was presented with an opportunity to purchase it from the founder, Marian Marbury. While the timing was challenging - closing on the sale at the start of 2020 - the pandemic allowed her to uniquely establish and build trust and to successfully move the company from founder-led to founder-inspired. AGC had its best year ever in 2022 and Kelly is excited about the direction AGC is headed. She remains committed to the company’s founding values, including valuing emotional and physical safety, personal choice and individual goals, healthy relationships with other people and the environment, and valuing women and their way of knowing. She embodies the idea that women’s strengths are an asset to the outdoor and travel industry. At the same time, having experienced the strain and expense of balancing motherhood with career goals, Kelly is also committed to creating a supportive workplace for AGC’s all-female team, and it’s what drives her to continue to grow the business and to provide even better opportunities for women to achieve both their personal and professional goals. Kelly thrives on the connections she makes with the team and the travelers, and in seeing the joy and empowerment that AGC trips provide for women. It is a privilege to do this work and to offer life-altering, confidence-building adventures that enable women to experience nature, travel the world, step out of their comfort zones, and accomplish things they never thought possible for themselves.

What should people in their life do? 4. You note there are some common habits that most people are guilty of, that people should stop doing, right away, if they take NOTHING else away from this today. 5.

Floriana Abramovich the Founder of Cede Botanic, which is a brand that focuses on carefully selecting ingredients that promote healing, calming, regenerating and anti-inflammatory benefits joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Skin Care Channels. Cede Botanic will help you on your journey to heal and repair your skin barrier, leaving you with healthy and nourished skin.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Floriana Abramovich discuss the following:
- Why is skincare so important to health?
- What is a “fast acting” product in skincare?
- What ingredients can help with inflammation of the skin?
- How can internal stressors affect your skin?
- What tip would you give to someone who is trying to improve their skin health?
My name is Floriana Abramovich and I'm the founder of Cede Botanic. I have 3 beautiful daughters, an incredibly supportive husband and 3 dogs. The idea for Cede Botanic was born when I began a journey to heal my inflamed and irritated skin. In my 20’s, I began experiencing cystic acne, redness, inflammation and relied on acne-targeted ingredients to help. After years of experimenting with different solutions, my skin was on a downward spiral causing pigmentation, painful breakouts and a damaged skin barrier. It got so bad, I almost went on a strong drug to see if it would help…but I found out just a few days later that I was pregnant…so I had to turn to something else.
After having my daughters, I realized that my acne was a result of internal stressors, hormone disruptors and a result of harsh stripping ingredients that promoted irritation. Over the years, I switched over to topicals that required a bit of patience and dedication. Reducing the amount of actives and fast acting products…that claimed to help but in fact made things worse. I began my journey to heal my skin. Through changes in diet, trying to reduce stress levels and using nourishing ingredients, my body began to slowly shift. With gentle topical products, I began to point out how much I wished one product had something specific over another. A particular texture was present in another. I found herself on a quest in learning about raw ingredients that were providing my skin relief.
Ingredients like Cupuacu butter, Aloe, adaptogens, Hemp, Turmeric. Seeing, playing, smelling these incredible ingredients in their raw and natural state excited me. It ignited a passion I didn’t know existed. I began to create little jars of magic that I gave to my family. Until one day, my husband turned to me and said, “we have to share your passion with others, you can’t keep this to yourself” and so, uncompromising on quality, partnering with the right chemists that shares similar mindsets, values in sourcing and innovation…my journey is complete.
I created a brand that focuses on carefully selecting ingredients that promote healing, calming, regenerating and anti-inflammatory benefits. Actives used in their most effective way without causing further irritation. Cede Botanic will help you on your journey to heal and repair your skin barrier. Leaving you with healthy and nourished skin.

- How did you come up with the idea for Petzbe?
- Pets are so good for our health and well being. What are some ways in which our pets can help us with our health and wellness?
- Through Petzbe we see the world through the voice of our beloved pets. Do you think that this site is sort of therapeutic for people in a world where most social media is political and often negatively emotional for many?
- What is the “Vetbe" section of the App?
- How does "Lend A Paw" work and what are some of the charities that have benefitted from “Lend A Paw”?
- How do you download Petzbe?
Summary: Petzbe is one of the fasted growing social media platforms where the user opens an account on behalf of their beloved pets. All the photos, videos, opinions and messaging on Petzbe come from the perspective of your pets and takes on their persona. Studies have shown that pets can be very beneficial for our own physical and mental health well-being. The brain child of millennial, Andrea Nerep the site is available on your smart phone App Store and it is sure to be the “cutest community platform” available today.
What would your pets say if they could speak? What’s their voice like – sassy, cute, witty, grumpy, playful? PETZBE is the leading social media app connecting pet parents in a community where they share their pets’ lives from the perspective of the pet. PETZBE’S purpose is to provide a positive pet-centric social media experience for pet parents to form meaningful connections with each other and trusted companies in the pet industries.
Realizing that society is obsessed with social media and pets, PETZBE creator, Swedish-born and now New York based Andrea Nerep and her dog, Angus (a Brussels Griffon) partnered with Los Angeles based Chelsea Rose Riggs to create what they believe is “The cutest community on the planet.”
PETZBE is simple to use and easily downloadable on most smart phones when you find it in your smart phone app icon. (Note: Some versions of Android may have trouble downloading the app.) Designed using current state-of-the-art technology, this social media platform, although contributed to by humans, only allows pets to participate. With a soft-launch and ample time to test the PETZBE technology in 2018, PETZBE now has over to 800,000 furry, feathered, scaled, slithery and other diverse and loveable community members.
Just like human social media sites, each PETZBE member page showcases and highlights the life of your individual pet. You can connect with others while featuring your pet’s photos, videos, feelings, and thoughts (that you create for them). If you like another member’s content, give it a “Lick” (Like) or click on their “Sniff” (Follow) and voila, you are now “Sniffing” (Following) them.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Chef Tommaso Iorio discuss the following:

- Why do you think authentic Italian meats like Rovagnati meats are so appealing to Americans for health, flavor or all of that?
- Where can people find and learn more about Rovagnati and your company Tuscany at Home?
Born in Chianti, Tommaso Iorio’s childhood was spent roaming the enchanting landscape of Tuscany. Famed for its lush green hills dotted with vineyards and olive trees, Chianti is also home to some of the finest cuisine in the world. Its rich agricultural and farming heritage, coupled with its production of premium olive oil, has made Chianti the favored source of prime ingredients that are fundamental to Tuscan dishes.
Following a serious accident at the age of five, Tommaso found refuge in his grandmothers’ kitchens in the small town of Panzano, situated atop a hill in the Chianti Classico wine zone. Enveloped by the intoxicating aromas and flavors of Italian cuisine, Tommaso soon found himself immersed in culinary traditions that would kindle the flames of his life-long passion for food.
Tommaso has embraced his passion as an adult, transforming his love for traditional cucina Toscana into a flourishing career. He graduated from the Isituto Technico Agrario di Firenze alle Cascine in Florence, the heart of Tuscany’s vibrant culinary scene, before pursuing various opportunities in the hospitality and wine industry. In 2013, he began working under fellow Panzano Tuscan and world-renowned artisanal butcher Dario Cecchini. A much beloved mentor, Dario taught Tommaso the intricacies of navigating a successful butcher shop, particularly when it comes to providing customers with exceptional service and authentic dining experiences. The two spirited Tuscans can be seen on an episode of Netflix’s Chef’s Table, dedicated to Dario’s illustrious career and the family legacy behind his popular butcher shop in Panzano.
Tommaso met his wife, Deana, while working at Dario’s shop. The couple soon married and moved to Los Angeles. Together, they launched Tuscany at Home, where they offer clients a truly immersive Tuscan dining experience from the comfort of their own homes. Guests watch Tommaso as he prepares food in a traditional Tuscan grill setting, exchanging anecdotes by the fire and sipping sun-kissed wine from the hills of Chianti.
Upholding his grandmothers’ traditions of taking fresh, organic produce and transforming simple ingredients into gourmet dishes, the couple has taken the SoCal private chef scene by storm. Since kickstarting their business over the last two years, they have served more than 250 events across Santa Barbara, Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, Pacific Palisades, Sonoma, and Encino. Their diverse clientele base includes A-list celebrities from both the United States and Italy, and they have auctioned off their services for local charity events.
Tommaso also offers cooking classes, where participants prepare classic Tuscan dishes such as Bistecca Alla Fiorentina, Pappa al Pomodoro Pici Toscani and many more. With Tommaso’s guidance, they acquire a finer appreciation of the scrumptious flavors and time-honored techniques that make Tuscan cuisine one of the most revered in the world.
Tuscany at Home embodies the spirit of its namesake, bringing to life the expression “Mangia bene, Ridi Spesso e Ama Molto.” Eat well, laugh often, love much.

Susan and Lloyd Ecker of The Snorinator, a patented, non-invasive, high density, memory foam pillow that will help you sleep upright and put your snoring to rest for good joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Sleep Health Channel.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guests Susan and Lloyd Ecker discuss the following:
- I read your interesting Ecker family business bio. Can you give us some of the highlights and then tell us how you two came up with the Snorinator?
- It sounds like you came up with The Snorinator so you would both get better sleep?
- 2019 was three years ago. What happened next?
- I saw in your Press Kit, last month you were awarded a U.S. Patent. What got you that?
- If someone is interested in getting more information or purchasing The Snorinator, where should they go?
Besides having three children and three grandchildren, Susan Ecker’s greatest accomplishment is being the sole inspiration for every single one of Lloyd Ecker’s successes.
When they both got to Ithaca College, it would be the first time Susan inspired Lloyd. He knew she was there, but he needed to figure out how to meet her. In 1973, after he got Bette Midler to agree to perform at I.C., the future Eckers went on their first date, had dinner with Midler after the show, and ten years later, in 1983, the couple had been married for eight years and were expecting their third baby. That’s when Susan inspired Lloyd a second time by making him a baseball hat saying “Father-to-be”. Lloyd changed the “Father-to-be” to “Father-to-BEE” with a BumbleBEE logo, expanded with gifts for the entire family-to-BEE, and in 2004 when Babytobee.com was collecting 15,000 mother-to-be names a month, the company sold for 8-figures. All because Susan made Lloyd a silly hat!
After that, Susan gave Lloyd his third inspiration. “I wanna have dinner with Bette Midler again,” his muse stated. So, in 2006 Lloyd got to work on reintroducing a trailblazing Vaudeville star named Sophie Tucker. To date, Team Ecker has been nominated for a Grammy, their documentary got rave reviews in the NY Times, they won a book award, and currently they are producing their musical SOPH which is headed to Broadway. When they make their HBO Tucker series, Lloyd plans to hire Midler to play Sophie and get her a couple of Emmy awards. Then, Susan will have dinner with Bette again!
Which brings us to Susan’s latest Lloyd inspiration, The Snorinator! After forty-five years of marriage and Lloyd’s house rattling snoring, in 2019 Susan finally put her foot down and kicked Lloyd out of the bedroom.” Forget about “Necessity” being the mother of invention. As you now know, for Lloyd, it has always just been “Susan”!
After months of research, and an approved U.S Patent, something else, besides snoring, is once again keeping the Eckers up in the bedroom!

- Tell us about your Mental Health for Teens program and coaching certification programs.
TIP: It's ok for teens to be themselves. Being authentic and proud of who you are, makes for great mental health. Society makes sexuality a focal point, yet in reality, this is not an issue for most teens. A bigger issue is not fitting in because of your values, money, dress, looks, religion, intelligence, or perceived lack of athleticism or other talents. This feeling of not being like others or accepted is destructive to mental health. Embrace your values, be proud of your religion, your looks are what makes you unique and looks change over time. What is fashionable today will not be tomorrow and hey/ Who are these people that are telling you how you should dress and groom anyway? They don't care about you! They care about manipulating you to buy their stuff and the teens that mock or tease about Lack lack of style or coming from the wrong social strata and income range are the ones that are not cool. Stand tall, breathe calm and love who you are!
One of the premier success coaches in the world, Ken Baum has trained Olympic athletes, and business and thought leaders, and is the creator of the Mental Edge System, a world-class-level system that teaches people of every age and station how to create a success mindset in their own lives. His clients range from mega-companies Vans, Oakley, and Merrill Lynch; to individual champions like MMA World Champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane, X-Games gold medal winner Elliott Sloane, and the Tampa Bay Devil Ray’s Comeback Player of the Year Carlos Peña.
Aside from his client list reading like a Who’s Who of success in business and sports, Baum is known as one of the most dynamic and entertaining speakers in the world, connecting him with everything from small teen audiences to 14,000-seat arena crowds, where he has shared the stage with the biggest names in sports, politics, and industry, like Phil Jackson, John Wooden, Oprah, Larry King, Bob Dole, and Naomi Judd. He delivers thousands of seminars, workshops, and speeches annually, with praise from all walks of life. CBS News senior correspondent Ben Tracy says “he commands the stage like few have ever done,” Hall of Fame speaker Zig Ziegler describes him as a “skilled and powerful speaker,” and Tommy Lasorda gives the ultimate praise: “He is Mr. Mental Edge.”
In addition to his coaching and speaking, Baum is also an author of life-changing books like The Mental Edge: Maximize Your Sports Potential with the Mind-Body Connection (Perigee, 1999), Metabolize: The Personalized Program for Weight Loss (Putnam/Perigee, 2000), The Performance Zone (audiobook; Nightingale/Conant 2000) and Mind Over Business (Prentice Hall, 2012), and he has appeared in or written articles for major magazines and media outlets like BBC News, Success, ESPN, Men's Journal, Volleyball Monthly, Sports Illustrated for Women, and hosts of others.
Above all, Baum is a teacher. From arena crowds to intimate groups of disadvantaged teens to his own two children (both of whom made it through their own teen years relatively unscathed), Baum is dedicated to a world where people’s successes are determined not by circumstance, but by the success-oriented mindsets they create.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Kimberly Plante discuss the following:
- Kimberly, I am shocked at the level of abuse you suffered from as a toddler and then a child. Can you tell our listeners how you came to live with your mother, who abused you?
- Can you share a story from the book for our audience?
- It’s unfathomable to me that no-one noticed your child abuse and stepped in to rescue you. Did you ever tell anyone about what was happening to you, in school or to a friend’s parents?
- Tell us how you kept a glimmer of hope alive, and survived such a terrifying ordeal that took up your entire childhood?
- You wrote this book as an adult. How long did it take to write and then get the book published, and which was harder: writing the book or getting it published? Also where is the book available?
- What tips can you share for survivors of abuse who would like to tell their story in a memoir?
Plot synopsis
Kimberly is just three years old and living peacefully with her grandmother in Connecticut, when her mother unexpectedly appears and turns her world upside down. Kimberly quickly realizes that life with her mother is going to be very different from anything she’d ever known.
Ridiculed, beaten, locked up, and neglected daily, Kimberly is denied food, bathroom privileges, and other basic necessities. She’s often left alone to look after her infant brother and faces regular beatings for nonexistent infractions. She grows up hearing and believing her mother’s lies and that she should have been aborted. Throughout her life, she faces not just abuse, but also loss, rejection, exclusion, and failure. But just when things finally seem to settle down, she uncovers a truth she had never counted on, and it changes her life forever.
Kimberly Plante is currently the Director of Respiratory Therapy at a children’s hospital in Boston. She has completed many levels of education, including a master’s degree in healthcare administration. Because she loves bedside patient care, she also works part time as a respiratory therapist in Fall River, Massachusetts. In her free time, she enjoys cooking, taking her three dogs for long walks, and spending time with her family.

Dr. Amir Marashi, a board-certified cosmetic Gynecologist and Founder of Cere, the first sexual wellness brand with pleasure care essentials developed by physicians joins eHealth Radio and the Sexual Health Channel.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Amir Marashi discuss the following:
- Dr. Marashi, you are well-known around the world for your work and have earned the distinguished title of "The Vagina Whisperer", first and foremost, how did you get the honor of this unique title?
- The work that you have done focusing on female anatomy is remarkable. You are on a mission to help folks understand that a big part of self-care is sexual health! How is sexual health and mental health related?
- You are on a mission to normalize the conversation around having a healthy sex life and more importantly making sure women know how to achieve a "real" orgasm. Can you educate us on the percentage of women that don't actually experience a real orgasm and why?
- As part of your mission, you have developed an intervention to help bring science back into the bedroom, through Get Cere! Tell us about it and how it's empowering women and couples alike?
- Lastly, you want to make sure folks are educated on this topic.... where can we get more information?
The “Vagina Whisperer'' Dr. Amir Marashi is a board-certified cosmetic gynecologist/pelvic pain specialist licensed to practice in New York, California, Texas, and Florida. He is the founder of Cerē, the first sexual wellness brand with pleasure care essentials developed by physicians. Dr. Marashi is a pioneer in the field of women’s sexual wellness. In an effort to destigmatize female sexual enhancement and pleasure, he authored A Woman’s Right to Pleasure, a 2020 BlackBook release with forwards by feminist icons Erica Jong and Roxanne Gay. He and Cerē’s research and development partner Dr. Kimberly Lovie are widely considered the “Masters and Johnson of the 21st century,” expanding the known realms of female sexual pleasure with doctor-developed products that bring pleasure, physiology and anatomy into harmony. Their lineup includes the first-ever physician-formulated arousal gel featuring a proprietary blend of l-arginine, l-citrulline and chamomile rigorously tested through an original clitoral ultrasound protocol created by the Cerē doctors.
Born in Iran during the Iranian Revolution, Dr. Marashi encountered the field of medicine as early as 4 years old. He spent nearly every day observing and assisting his father - the region’s only orthopedic surgeon - with triage care for war-torn civilians and soldiers. He went on to attend medical school in his home country, during which time he began receiving multiple inquiries from female patients about hymenoplasty (the restoration of the hymen, which was required to be intact for marriage). Dr. Marashi was troubled by the vastly different sexual standards for women as compared to men - not just in Iran, but across the world. His studies of biomechanics and sports medicine led to a natural shift into an entirely new field: the biomechanics of intercourse.
Dr. Marashi has since become an internationally-acclaimed OB/GYN, whose decades of experience diagnosing and surgically amending complex vaginal issues earned him the title of “Vagina Whisperer.” His original VagilangeloⓇTM procedure has helped hundreds of patients regain the confidence that comes from a healthy sex life. Through his self-funded International Obstetrician and Gynecologist organization, he helped provide vital OB/GYN care to underdeveloped countries, including during the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. His commitment to advancing and destigmatizing the “taboo” field of women’s sexual wellness has led to international recognition for campaigns such as the (now infamous) Designer Vagina Fashion Show during New York Fashion Week 2017.

Christine Cooper, the CEO of aequum LLC and the Co-Managing Member of Koehler Fitzgerald LLC, a law firm with a national practice along with Jack Towarnicky an ERISA/Employee Benefits compliance and planning attorney, having over forty years of experience in human resources and plan sponsor leadership roles again joins eHealth Radio and the Healthcare and Legal Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guests Christine Cooper & Jack Towarnicky discuss the following:
Painful mistakes you and/or your employer should avoid at annual enrollment.
Eric: Number 10 – Christine, what’s number 10?
Christine: Number 10 is an employer mistake. It is the employer who fails to offer workers a choice of coverage. Regardless of the size of the employer, the employer should anticipate a diversity of medical coverage needs, today, AND tomorrow! At a minimum, the employer should offer at least two choices, typical would be a PPO and Health Savings Account capable options.
Eric: Who has number 9? Jack?
Jack: Number 9 is also an employer mistake. It is the decision to use a passive process. Passive means that the worker’s existing coverage will continue unless they take action to review the options and make choices. The annual enrollment process should prompt individuals to make affirmative elections – even if it is the same choices, year after year.
Eric: Interesting, so what is Number 8?
Jack: Number 8 is another employer mistake. It is the failure to adjust the coverage comparison so the differences, especially the differences in provider networks and costs are apparent, obvious. For example, where a HSA-capable coverage option is offered, the employer often fails to adjust the deductible for the other choice, typically the PPO, so that the deductible for the PPO applies in the same way. Bottom line, once you have a good idea about your expected utilization, if you must spend more than 5 minutes looking at a side-by-side comparison, that means that the differences aren’t obvious, or that the comparison has too much detail.
Eric: OK, three strikes and the employer are out. So, our audience now knows that the employer should offer a choice of coverage, and at least one of the options should allow the worker to save in a Health Savings Account. The employer should have an active enrollment process, not a passive process, where workers must make affirmative elections of coverage. And the side-by-side comparison should be clean and clear enough so that a worker who knows what they expect to spend on medical can make a decision in less than 5 minutes. OK. So now we have some ideas about what you might ask your employer.
Eric: What’s next? What’s Lucky Number 7?
Christine: More like unlucky #7. Number seven is bias. We let bias affect our decisions. We tend to make decisions by relying on heuristics, or rules of thumb. One example is where people might think Expensive is Better … that the coverage with the smallest deductible or the highest contribution must be the better choice – even though I don’t anticipate any significant medical expenses.
Eric: With six you get egg roll! You could look it up. What is number six?
Jack: Over insurance, you paid too much! Or, as one insurance company motto says, only pay for what you need. Over insurance can result by focusing too much on monthly or per payday costs (what is affordable) versus an estimate of all costs for an entire year. Bias also causes workers to overestimate the likelihood of easy to imagine outcomes, or recent events, what some call the availability heuristic – for example, a coworker who suffered an illness or injury. People sometimes fixate on “what if?” As in what if I need surgery?
Eric: What is five?
Christine: Uncertainty. Uncertainty tends to result in opportunity losses. There is a lot of uncertainty in predicting medical utilization. But, for almost everyone, medical spend increases with age. So, the time to save is now, because our out-of-pocket expenses are likely to increase in the future. And, when it comes to saving for future medical expense, the best option is the Health Savings Account. Why the HSA? Well, it saves on taxes. Often, there is an employer contribution. And consider this. Most of us are likely to make it to retirement age, when, if we are lucky enough to have avoided medical costs, we can spend HSA dollars the same way we spend money from a 401k or an Individual Retirement Account. Actually, saving in a HSA is often better than saving in a 401k.
Eric: Saving in a HSA is better than saving in a 401k? Where can you find more info?
Christine: Contact us at aequumhealth.com, or specifically, contact Jack with your questions about Health Savings Accounts. Or, if your employer doesn’t offer a Health Savings Account capable plan, have your employer reach out to Jack. Jack is one of America’s foremost experts when it comes to the Health Savings Account, its features and value. He’s been participating in a HSA over 17 years, since 2005. You can find his email address by visiting us at www.aequumhealth.com.
Eric: OK, we’re down to the last four. Number 4?
Jack: It’s another employer mistake – choice blindness, or choice overload. Studies show that three choices are often one too many – especially for something as complex as medical coverage.
Eric: Number 3?
Christine: It is another employer mistake, this time in marketing or communications. Too many times, employers focus communications on the deductible. Some even name the options that way – for example, the $500 plan. That results in something economists call an “anchoring bias”. It draws an inordinate amount of attention to the size of the deductible. During annual enrollment, in your decision-making, you should compare the difference in deductibles between options, the difference in contributions between options and the difference in total costs based on your expected utilization.
Eric: We are down to the Number 2 mistake.
Jack: Myopia. One big mistake we all make is limiting our focus to today, next week, next month, next year. But we all expect to live beyond 2023. So, our coverage decisions should include today and tomorrow, specifically saving, improving our household’s financial resilience. Accumulating savings in 2023 ensures you are better prepared for future annual enrollment decision-making.
Eric: And the Number 1 mistake people make when it comes to annual enrollment?
Christine: Inertia. People are inert. Most don’t spend more than 30 minutes on benefits decision-making each year. Some skip annual enrollments altogether. I mean, nothing has changed in your life, or your household, or in the coverage marketplace, or in your employment over the past 3 years, right? Remember to ask other adults in your household for their input. If you are enrolled in the same health coverage today that you were before the pandemic, you should at least reconsider any available alternatives … just in case they changed. Also, if you are enrolled in a Health Savings Account, it is a good time to update your rate of contributions … but remember, unlike other accounts, you can prospectively change your HSA contribution rate, any month during the year. Keeping the same choice, year after year after year is a form of status quo bias. How would you know if it is still the right choice…unless you give it a new, fresh look. Don’t know where to start, ask for help.
We’ll put a summary of this discussion on our website www.aequumhealth.com – so you can refer to it for this year’s annual enrollment (and future years as well). Start today. Ask your employer for the dates of the annual enrolment, and what coverage option will be offered in 2023. Have them contact Jack and encourage them to offer a Health Savings Account capable option. Start putting together your estimate what you and your household members will spend on medical in 2023.
And, when annual enrollment comes, don’t forget to take time to review your choices and make an affirmative decision, election for 2023.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Ava Otto discuss the following:
Growing up with a famous father, how did that play on your mental state as a child and being around kids or even parents who may have been jealous of your lifestyle?
You were bullied by other parents. How did you overcome this? What is your advice to other kids today?
You also give back through your own foundation, Passion Project X, tell us more.
Why do you love to inspire and bring joy to others via social media? Why does that keep you in a healthy mindset overall?

That was the moment she fell in love with performing. That same year, 2015, Ava booked her first job singing with Grammy award winner Darlene Koldenhoven. The following year she began her acting career and joined her first competition team at the local dance studio. Ava has earned numerous national titles, top placements, and top scholarships.
Ava excels in many forms of dance, including contemporary, ballet/pointe, jazz, hip hop, and lyrical, as well as in musical theater. She also studies ballroom and aerial arts.

Kareem Cooke, the CMO of Naturade who has revolutionized the natural supplement with the expansion of their Naturade brand joins eHealth Radio and the Supplement Channel.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Kareem Cooke discuss the following:
- How did you begin your foray into the health industry and subsequently, Naturade?
- What makes Naturade different from its competitors?
- How has the obesity and diabetes epidemic impacted your company mission?
- Naturade is one of the only black owned products in Costco, what was the process to making that relationship happen?
- What can other minority entrepreneurs learn from the Naturade story?
Creating a company with the intention of positively impacting the health of Black America may seem like a lofty goal, but it is one that owners Kareem Cook (CMO) and Claude Tellis (CEO) embarked on with their company, Naturade. Naturade is one of the largest Black-owned natural supplement companies in the United States with a line of products that includes plant-based protein shakes and nutritional shakes in a variety of flavors. Currently the only black owned company in Costco and demanding shelf space in major retailers like Target, Naturade is proof that a Black owned company can thrive in the nutrition and health and wellness space.
After witnessing many of their family members succumb to diet-related illnesses, Kareem and Claude decided to acquire Naturade (which was founded in 1926) in 2012 after successfully launching Healthy Body Products, a healthy vending machine company in 2002 that was pivotal in changing vending laws in California. Today Naturade is a multi-million dollar company backed by power players Magic Johnson and Grant Hill, that is still committed to redefining the core target audience for the natural supplement market, to include African Americans and people of color - those in dire need of healthy alternatives. With the eradication of pre-diabetes as a mission for the brand, Naturade is working steadfastly to provide natural plant-based foods and products to urban communities across the nation.

Dr. John E. Sylvester, Radiation Oncologist at GenesisCare, a premier provider in cancer and urology care joins eHealth Radio and the Cancer Information and Health News Channels. With over 300 expert physicians across the U.S., GenesisCare offers advanced technologies and treatments as well as personalized integrated approach to care.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. John E. Sylvester discuss the following:
- Considering the staggering statistic that 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, is there anything the average person can do proactively to identify prostate cancer and when should they come in for a consultation? Are there any key indicators or high-risk factors people need to know?
- What are the biggest challenges people face once diagnosed with prostate cancer, and how can they overcome them?
- What do you all do differently at GenesisCare, and what are the benefits for patients? What can other cancer care facilities learn from you?
- What are the latest innovations in prostate cancer treatment, and what do you see coming on the horizon that could help people achieve more positive outcomes?
- What is most rewarding about the work that you do?
Summary: In 2020, more than 10 million cancer screenings were missed due to the pandemic. The American Association for Cancer Research revealed between March and December 2020, the nation saw an 11 percent increase in patients diagnosed with inoperable or metastatic cancer compared to the same period in 2019.
Dr. John Sylvester has performed over 6,000 prostate brachytherapy procedures. He has developed multiple technical improvements in the procedure, by improving visualization of the urethra during the procedure, optimally utilizing R.A.P.I.D. strand, and co-developed THINStrand. He has published numerous articles and medical textbook chapters on prostate brachytherapy and co-authored and edited The Prostate Cancer Treatment Book. He wrote the white paper on 4-D Calypso image guided IMRT and was the first physician in the US to use SpaceOAR in prostate cancer IG-IMRT. Dr. Sylvester earned the “Innovation Research Award 2014” from the Manatee County Chamber of Commerce and was awarded Sarasota Magazine’s Top Doctors distinction from 2012-2016.

Amelia O'Relly, Founder of How To Breast Cancer, a site and community that guides those that have received a breast cancer diagnosis and their families and friends with guidance, support, and information joins eHealth Radio and the Cancer Information and Health News Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Amelia O'Relly discuss the following:
You've had a distinguished career as a Human Resources Executive with companies including Coca Cola and Home Depot. Now you have transitioned to a champion for improving the patient experience. Tell us a bit about why you founded How To Breast Cancer.
It is scary to receive a cancer diagnosis. What do you wish you knew, and what tools does How To Breast Cancer offer? Is it free? What has been the feedback?
In your opinion, why have issues related to the patient experience been lagging compared to information on treatment, prevention, and other areas? How are you helping to change this? What has been the response from the medical community -- do you have a positive story to share?
You have a gala event coming up on October 8th. Tell us about it and the goals it will achieve.
What's the biggest take away you want people to have when they discover How To Breast Cancer?
Summary: When navigating a breast cancer, or any cancer, diagnosis it can be hard to know what to do next. Where do you go from here? Who do you listen to? What do you do with all the worries, fears and questions swirling around in your head? How to Breast Cancer is your how and your guide. It's information from Amelia O'Relly, and others, that share their experience to create change.
Amelia O'Relly is the Founder of How to Breast Cancer, an organization fully dedicated to helping breast cancer patients, their loved ones, caregivers, and community by serving as a central source and a single place for helpful, easy to use tools and practices for successfully navigating the breast cancer journey. Amelia’s inspiration to create and lead how to Breast cancer began after receiving her own breast cancer diagnosis in 2019 and beginning her cancer journey…a journey that is still ongoing. Over the past two years, she’s learned that while much information exists about breast cancer, much more needs to be done to have that information available in a centralized place that is user friendly and speaks from those who know and live it day to day. A resource created through personal knowledge, experience, and empathy.
Prior to founding How to Breast Cancer, Amelia spent the last 20 years serving in executive roles with a focus on Human Resources for several fortune 500 companies, spanning multiple industries and countries. She was born in Havana, Cuba, and immigrated to the U.S. with her parents and sister in 1980. Amelia grew up in the Tampa, FL, area and earned her bachelor’s degree with honors from the University of South Florida.
Amelia now spends her time focused on creating the very best tools and resources to help others successfully navigate their breast cancer journey and is the author of the upcoming book, The Breast Cancer Guide.

Jack Towarnicky, an ERISA/Employee Benefits compliance and planning attorney, having over forty years of experience in human resources and plan sponsor leadership roles joins ehealth Radio and the Healthcare and Legal Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Jack Towarnicky discuss the following:
- Americans are anxious over “what’s next” in terms of increases in the cost of medical coverage and their out-of-pocket expenses, and how they will add to the existing financial stress from recent inflation and the decline in economic activity in the first half of 2022. What is your outlook?
- There isn’t widespread agreement about whether we are in a recession. Regardless, how will the recent decline in economic activity be different this time?
- Most American workers would be surprised to find out that they pay more for other people’s subsidized health coverage than for their own. Who pays, and how much? And, how much more are taxpayers going to pay into this?
- What is the expected impact of current inflation and economic trends on employer-sponsored coverage?
- How should employers and employees be thinking about health plan renewals for 2023? What actions should they be taking now, today?

Jack Towarnicky, an ERISA/Employee Benefits compliance and planning attorney, having over forty years of experience in human resources and plan sponsor leadership roles joins ehealth Radio and the Healthcare and Legal Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Jack Towarnicky discuss the following:
Americans are anxious over “what’s next” in terms of increases in the cost of medical coverage and their out-of-pocket expenses, and how they will add to the existing financial stress from recent inflation and the decline in economic activity in the first half of 2022. What is your outlook?
There isn’t widespread agreement about whether we are in a recession. Regardless, how will the recent decline in economic activity be different this time?
Most American workers would be surprised to find out that they pay more for other people’s subsidized health coverage than for their own. Who pays, and how much? And, how much more are taxpayers going to pay into this?
What is the expected impact of current inflation and economic trends on employer-sponsored coverage?
How should employers and employees be thinking about health plan renewals for 2023? What actions should they be taking now, today?
What can employers and employees do about the looming increase in medical costs for 2023?

Award-Winning Dentist & Author, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi from Dr. Kourosh Maddahi Cosmetic & Anti-Aging Dentistry in Beverly Hills joins eHealth Radio and the Cosmetic Dentistry and Health News Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Kourosh Maddahi discuss the following:
- Our dental care has traditionally focused on killing bacteria, but does our mouth have any good bacteria?
- Why is our diet so important to overall care of our mouth? Not just obvious sugar, coffee, wine but other foods.
- What is the Microbiome diet (outlined in your book THE TOXIC OVERLOAD) and who should follow it?
- You say gum disease is an indication of possible health disease, bad breath can indicate lung cancer and exclusive bleeding of the gums points to a bad diet. What do you recommend to your patients as the genesis of these problems begin in your mouth?
- During the mask mandates, many of us have discovered we have bad breath. What can we safely do about it?
- As we are lifting off our masks what are some of the things that we should be mindful of when it comes to our dental health?
Dr. Kourosh Maddahi has been a dentist in Beverly Hills for the past 35 years. In addition to treating more than 6,000 patients, Dr. Maddahi has worked with leading university laboratories to conduct non-biased, groundbreaking studies on the nature of the body’s defense systems and what happens when we introduce supposedly beneficial chemicals to our bodies.
Featured as an expert on multiple outlets including CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox News The Doctors and Oprah, Dr. Maddahi has published two best-selling books on oral health; Anti-Aging Dentistry and The Hidden Epidemic. He also has given lectures all over the United States and been a part of a group that has published dozens of peer-reviewed papers on the subject of oral health.
His new book, The Toxic Overload, pulls back the curtain about the body’s natural defenses and how to experience whole body health. It begins with breakthrough scientific research that debunks the Hygiene Hypothesis and the concept of killing our complex network of good bacteria with the daily use of antibacterial and antimicrobial products, linking them to widespread rises in autoimmune disease and allergies.
Touching on safe oral care and other household products to use, recommended diet, stress management and more, Dr. Maddahi then outlines a 30-day guide to a healthier life and a completely new path for lifetime hygiene and whole-body wellness. It is available on Amazon.

Joanna Parker, Co-Founder of Yumble, the only kids meal delivery service and a mom of three joins eHealth Radio and the Family, Children’s Health & Health News Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Joanna Parker discuss the following:
- When did you found Yumble and how did you get your start?
- Tell us a bit about your story and why you founded Yumble and how your goal is to help kids eat healthy and help busy parents.
- Does this help establish a healthy relationship with kids at an early age?
- How have you revamped the New Yumble to meet the needs of busy parents and kids recently?
- This is the only kids meal delivery service for kids 4 to 12—tell us how it works? And how do you reward kids?
Summary: The new and improved Yumble, is the first and only meal delivery service that empowers kids to plan and pick their meals and get rewarded for eating healthy. The new Yumble offers a solution to a daily challenge faced by parents everywhere, especially working parents: the obligation to provide nutritionally balanced meals every day that kids will actually eat and enjoy.
Kids can go to yumblekids.com , or the new YumbleKids App, to plan their own meals, choosing from Yumble’s carefully curated menus designed specifically for kid appeal. Meals are ordered via a parent-approved ‘shopping cart’ and delivered straight to your door, ready to heat up and eat up. Kids can accumulate points for making smart choices, such as cleaning their plates and trying new things. Points are tracked on a virtual dashboard, and an exciting rewards catalog helps children set their goals.
Yumble was born after my billionth conversation with friends, complaining about how difficult and frustrating it was to get healthy meals on the tables for our kids every single day. I decided to see if anyone else felt this pain point, so I posted anonymously on a Facebook mommy group. When I offered to cook a week’s worth of meals for strangers (no name, no pictures, no menu!) I was bombarded with so many “Yes! Please! Where do I sign up??” that I had to turn some people away. After delivering the first week of meals - based on a menu I had created on my iphone while I was in Vermont since I didn’t anticipate getting so many immediate orders from that single post - I was again overwhelmed with how many customers wanted meals again the next week, and the week after, and the week after.
When David saw the immediate interest and traction, he jumped on board. We built a simple website that could process orders, brought on Dan Trieman who had previously built Hello Fresh USA from 0 boxes to 100,000 boxes, and very quickly built Yumble into what it is today.
While the idea was born out of my own pain point and sheer need, the inspiration for Yumble really came out of my passion for helping children develop positive, healthy eating habits from a young age. Meal time for kids can be stressful, filled with drama, and unenjoyable. Helping parents avoid this daily negative experience and turning it into a fun, exciting, wholesome one is my passion. I am committed to helping children all across America develop better habits that will last them a lifetime.

Orit Krug, founder of Orit Krug, Inc. and an award-winning, board-certified Dance/Movement Therapist who helps individuals and couples who have experienced trauma repair their damaged relationships joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Relationship Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Orit Krug discuss the following:
- You deal specifically with people and couples who have trauma. What percentage of people have gone through some type of trauma? And while we know that obvious things like sexual abuse and domestic violence constitute trauma, what are some more subtle types of trauma?
- Why does trauma often lead to people sabotaging their relationships? Take me through the process of how trauma translates to the potential destruction of what might have previously been a loving relationship?
- Why can Dance/Movement Therapy succeed where traditional talk therapy may not? Can it be effective to do both?
- You base your Dance/Movement Therapy practice on neuroscience. What does that mean, and what advantage does that bring to your clients?
- I’m assuming that if people don’t want to actually dance, they can engage in movement. What types of movement can typically be used in a session? How simple or complex can these movements be?
- How long should a person or couple expect to be in Dance/Movement Therapy before they see results?
TIP: Dance/Movement Therapy can be a very effective adjunct to traditional talk therapy. Instead of just sitting and talking (which can still be very helpful for many), Dance/Movement Therapy uses your body and movement as the primary medium of connecting with yourself, understanding your emotions and patterns, and working together in the therapeutic relationship. When therapy is approached this way, it allows us to bypass the mind’s defenses while promoting mind-body integration that creates change much more quickly and deeply than traditional therapies. However, it’s much more effective to get involved with a Dance/Movement Therapist who understands the neuroscience behind the movements and why they work. A therapist with this depth of knowledge understands the type of treatment and movements that will affect the parts of the brain and nervous system that can truly catalyze the changes that each client is looking for.
Orit Krug is an award-winning Board-Certified Dance/Movement Therapist and Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (NY) who holds a Master of Science in Dance/Movement Therapy. Ms. Krug specializes in helping high-achieving individuals and couples excel in their love lives without self-sabotage.
For over 12 years, Orit has transformed the lives of more than 5,000 clients from 11 different countries. Her online programs have helped thousands break free from their unhealthy, trauma-driven relationship cycles and experience positive transformations in their love lives.
Before starting her online business, Orit led thousands of therapy sessions with psychiatric patients who went from feeling suicidal to joyfully dancing and reigniting their desire to live again within less than an hour. Orit has been featured in Elephant Journal, ThriveGlobal, Authority Magazine, as well as being quoted in SELF & INSIDER.
She currently lives in the suburbs of NYC with her husband and their 2-year-old son.

Tom Paladino a scalar energy researcher with 30 plus years experience helping people with chronic pathogenic illnesses joins eHealth Radio and the Health News Channel.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Tom Paladino discuss the following:
- Where does Scalar Energy originate and can you describe its nature?
- What is the difference between Scalar Energy and electromagnetic energy?
- How does Scalar Energy disassemble pathogens?
- How does Scalar Energy assemble nutrients inside the human body?
- How does Scalar Energy allow you to treat people by way of their photograph?
- Please explain how you know this works.
Scalar energy is the fundamental life force found everywhere in the world, space and universe. It originates from the sun and stars. Chi, prana, OM, mana, life force, torsion energy or zero-point energy are synonymous terms for scalar energy.
Tom Paladino began research with scalar energy during his undergraduate years. Inspired by various scientists, especially Nikola Tesla (the genius who invented alternating current), he was curious to learn more about the existence of an energy that was not of the electromagnetic spectrum. He pursued a course of independent study in order to better understand and subsequently harness scalar energy, as this emerging science is not taught at the university level.
One of his scientific predecessors was T. Galen Hieronymus, a resident of Georgia and one of the few scalar energy researchers in the United States in the last century. After Galen’s death, Tom was given access to the researcher’s notes and his instruments.
Some of Galen’s inventions, according to a 1977 magazine article, were “quasielectronic instruments that could (a) analyze the component elements of an ore sample without spectroscopic, chemical or other orthodox methods, and, most surprising of all, (b) influence (even kill) living organisms, even from vast distances, with no scientifically understandable mechanism at the other end.”
Tom theorized that all energy in the universe initiates as scalar energy; and that the sun of our solar system and the stars of the universe are the points of origin, “the storehouses,” for scalar energy. He further theorized that scalar energy is instructive energy, as the entire universe is instructed by this Divine Essence. Subsequently, all spiritual, cognitive, emotional and physical action in the universe is initiated and maintained by scalar energy instructions. Scalar energy provides order in the universe.
Based on these theories and the work of scientists who came before him, Tom was able to develop scalar energy instruments capable of harnessing and transmitting instructive energy to heal human subjects remotely. You can think of this as similar to a radio broadcast with his instruments as the broadcaster, and your body as the receiver. The difference is that the energy transmitted is not electromagnetic, and is therefore immeasurable by traditional science.
Tom’s instruments provide a remote, fast, harmless and painless treatment process that has successfully healed patients with HIV/AIDS, Ebola, herpes, hepatitis, Lyme disease, and over 400,000 pathogens that cause disease. They administer the scalar energy reverse-phase angle harmonic of a pathogen, thereby causing that agent of infection to disassemble or fall apart. Bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoan, can all be disassembled, representing a cure for thousands of diseases. Once the causative agent of a pathogen disease has been eliminated, the symptoms associated with that infection decrease or disappear altogether.

Dr. Ray Nettles who creates customized solutions to stop hair loss and regrow thin hair, based on each patient’s unique presentation and needs, thereby stopping hair loss and regrowing thin hair joins eHealth Radio and the Hair Health Channel.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Ray Nettles discuss the following:
- What are the typical 5 ZONES affected by hair loss?
- How can someone DETECT the EARLY signs of hair loss?
- HOW can someone, GET STARTED with their hair growth journey and please explain once they are in your program getting their BLOOD work interpreted?
- How long will it take for a patient to see new hair growth and does the growth sustain over time?
- Do you see patients only in your office or can patients see you virtually?
Dr. Nettles creates customized solutions to stop hair loss and regrow thin hair, based on each patient’s unique presentation and needs, thereby stopping hair loss and regrowing thin hair.
Dr. Nettles has been researching, developing and perfecting his treatment over the last 25 years. He now has 9 years of successful clinical treatment of hundreds of patients under his belt to prove it.
Furthermore, he now created the world’s first “Prescription-guided Supplement” based on each individual’s Body chemistry. Available at over 4,000 locations in the United States and around the world, the BRC Lab Panel test can now be ordered by your physician or our virtual physician.
What is the underlying chemical IMbalance causing hair to miniaturize over time, while also causing foggy thoughts and a lack of energy? That's tricky...

Chia-Lin Simmons, the CEO of LogicMark, a company providing smart care technology and emergency systems joins eHealth Radio and the Senior Care and Technology Channels. LogicMark offers two-way communication devices for emergencies, helping to give caregivers peace of mind and their loved ones the independence they deserve.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Chia-Lin Simmons discuss the following:
- Statistics tell us that our aging population here in the United States is growing rapidly as well as in other parts of the world. As a CEO focused on the “care economy,” can you explain what the “care economy” is and why should we be thinking about it as our population ages?
- You’ve worked for many of the top tech companies through the years. Why did you feel that the care economy was falling behind?
- When you talk about bringing care technologies up to speed, what do you take into consideration when thinking about how to develop technologies to best serve today’s seniors?
- Turning to caregivers, today we talk about the “sandwich generation” of people who are taking care of their parents and their children, many of whom are also working full time. Talk about your own experience as a caregiver and what the kinds of technology you’ve described would mean for you?
- As we know, technology can be expensive. With many elderly Americans living in poverty, how do we ensure that they and their caregivers have access to the technologies they need?
- As we conclude, for those of our listeners who find themselves in caregiving roles, or who are also members of the sandwich generation, what advice can you give about how to manage a myriad of responsibilities you face.
With more than 26 years in tech leadership, Chia-Lin Simmons has worked for some of the most impressive names in the tech industry, including Audible (where she was part of the team that facilitated its sale to Amazon), Harman International (now a division of Samsung) and Google, where she was an executive on the Google Play team.
Simmons joined NASDAQ-listed public company LogicMark (formerly NXT-ID) in June 2021 to develop PERS, software, software services and other connected products for the care economy. The company has been one of the leading providers of medical alerts and personal emergency response systems to the largest hospital network in the United States, the Veterans Administration, to provide more non-monitored PERS devices at no charge to veterans. It secured under Simmons’ short tenure at the company a GSA contract, which allows the company to offer their negotiated pricing and expertise to other federal, state and local municipalities to provide these critical products to those who need assistance.
Leveraging her background in artificial intelligence (including her own retail-tech startup, LookyLoo,) Simmons plans steer LogicMark and the care economy at large to develop better, smarter, more accessible products for aging adults and their caregivers–matching the pace of today’s youth-driven technological innovation.

Mark Shinbane, President and CEO of Harvest of the Sea, a pioneer and world leader in high quality, innovative seafood products joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Nutrition Channels.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Mark Shinbane discuss the following:
- We hear that frozen seafood is hitting record sales in the U.S. as more households are continuing to buy frozen seafood that is conveniently ready-to-cook. Tell us about some of these record-breaking seafood consumption statistics.
- Many consumers think that wild-caught seafood is better for consumption. Can you talk to us about a couple of myth busters: wild versus farm-raised? fresh vs. frozen seafood?
- Where did the idea for Seafood Medley come from?
- Preparing seafood might seem more difficult than cooking a chicken breast. What is the level of difficulty for cooking chicken vs. your Seafood Medley of scallops, calamari, shrimp and mussels?
- Where can consumers purchase Seafood Medley?
For over 60 years, Harvest of the Sea has been a pioneer and world leader in high quality, innovative seafood products, reflecting the core values of founder Bill Shinbane and his family that continue to drive industry standards today.
At the helm of Harvest of the Sea is President and CEO Mark Shinbane who assumed leadership of the company in 2004. Mark’s journey to the top position began as many do in family-owned businesses – at the bottom, working his way up at every level of the company’s operations. As a boy, Mark started with sweeping floors and continued year-after-year to learn every aspect of the business: unloading trucks in the warehouse, manning the production line, working in the Quality Assurance lab and studying the complexities of importing and manufacturing.
By the time Mark graduated from University of California, Los Angeles with a B.S. in Economics and Accounting, he also had the equivalent of a “degree” in seafood manufacturing. After a brief stint at an accounting firm, he agreed to join Harvest of the Sea and work full-time with his father. Mark’s accounting and technological acumen benefitted the company at a critical time in its expansion, bringing new systems and processes to the firm that kept the company on a steady growth track. Today, Harvest of the Sea is a multi-million-dollar seafood supplier to some of the country’s best-known retailers and restaurant operators.
Throughout his career, Mark and his team of culinary specialists have focused on delivering unique, high-value and innovative products to consumers – seafood dishes that are not only delicious but easy for anyone to prepare. It’s a winning formula that has enabled Mark to grow the firm despite intermittent industry challenges and the country’s ever-changing economic cycles.
When he is not solving problems and developing new products with his creative team and overseas partners, Mark relaxes with his passion for audio and music and spends time with his family attending concerts, sporting events, hiking and traveling. Additionally, he enjoys sports cars and driving the many scenic roads throughout Los Angeles and up the Pacific Coast. Mark is also a widely respected and active member of local business groups. For the past 6 years, he has been the Chairman of the L.A. Downtown Industrial Business Improvement District and an active member of his local business association for over 30 years.

Dr. Michael K. Turner is an Integrative Medicine Physician and Men’s Health Specialist based in Tri-Cities, Washington. Called “genuine,” “caring,” and “the best doctor in the world” by patients, he brings a high degree of empathy, trademark optimism, and in-depth expertise to his practice. Providing world-class health/wellness advice on topics that include holistic COVID care and chronic illness, he harnesses modern developments in medicine to bring patients the best care possible via in-office or telehealth appointment options.
Earning his undergraduate degree at Stanford University, Dr. Turner went on to earn his Doctor of Medicine from Harvard Medical School with a residency at the Mayo Clinic. With over a decade of clinical experience, along with a background in both hospital-based and private practice, he couples a research-based approach with a unique passion for excellence as he helps to develop the growing field of integrative/holistic medicine. His current areas of expertise include advanced treatments in sports medicine and anti-aging, along with chronic illness, nerve disorders, and general health.
Dr. Turner is one of the nation’s few male doctors with an in-depth knowledge of chronic illnesses, such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), Hashimoto’s Disease, Cushing’s Disease, and COVID-19 Long Haul effects. His journey into the complex world of these “invisible” conditions - often overlooked or misdiagnosed - began when his wife received a diagnosis of cancer and chronic illness. Symptoms like exhaustion, brain fog, or fatigue are often misconstrued as signs of hormone imbalance or depression, particularly in female patients. Living in the wake of these diseases and their symptoms, Dr. Turner sought to understand them at a DNA level, searching for the most effective answers.
Today, as COVID Long Haul affects an increasing number of Americans, Dr. Turner works alongside patients, digging for the real root causes and best courses of treatment. He offers research-based expertise on controversial topics such as Ivermectin, the pro’s/con’s of vaccines, and holistic/natural care approaches, as well as the challenges of medical censorship/cancel culture. He also advises patients on outpatient prevention/treatment options, so they can increase the odds of staying well at home and avoiding a trip to the E.R. Dr. Turner proudly serves the Richland, Kennewick, Pasco, and surrounding communities.

Rick Pauls, President and CEO of DiaMedica Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biopharma committed to improving the lives of people suffering serious diseases, with initial focus on acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) joins eHealth Radio and the Health News Channel.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Rick Pauls discuss the following:
- DiaMedica is currently enrolling for a phase 3 clinical trial for an ischemic stroke treatment that is able to be administered to patients within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms. Compared to the current treatment of over 25 years with only a 4-hour window, can you enlighten listeners on how this science is disrupting the trajectory of stroke therapy?
- DiaMedica's lead candidate, DM199, is a synthetic form of the KLK1 protein, an established therapeutic modality for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke and chronic kidney disease. A form of human KLK1, isolated from human urine, is approved in China for subacute treatment of AIS. As of now, in the U.S., only an IV injection of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) is the standard treatment for ischemic stroke. Can you expand on how DiaMedica's recombinant protein replacement therapy works?
- What is unique about the company's drug and trial design is that you plan to assess two separate clinically meaningful endpoints, stroke recoveries and prevention of ischemic stroke recurrence, across the same study population. What are the clinical benefits of this structure?
- DiaMedica is currently enrolling at ten clinical trial sites across the country. Why is it advantageous for listeners to know which local hospital is participating in the first new ischemic stroke treatment in 25 years?
- The FDA granted Fast Track Designation to DM199 for the treatment of AIS in September 2021. Fast Track is a process intended to facilitate the development and expedite the review of investigational drugs for the treatment of serious or life-threatening conditions where there is a significant unmet medical need. What are the next steps here, and what timeline are we looking at for phase 3 data?
Rick Pauls was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of DiaMedica Therapeutics in July 2009. Mr. Pauls has served as a member of DiaMedica’s board of directors since April 2005 and as the Chairman of the Board from April 2008 to July 2014.

- Obviously viruses are on everyone’s mind right now. The truth is that while viruses can be deadly such as in the case of COVID-19, gene therapy actually uses viruses as treatment vehicles for genetic diseases. Can you explain what it is about viruses that makes them ideal for treating genetic diseases?
- As I understand it, Chameleon’s work focuses on treatments for people who can’t be treated with conventional gene therapies--why is it that some people, especially children, are untreatable?
- Going into detail--back to COVID-19--the vaccines so many of us are getting are designed to prime our immune systems to help us detect and fight COVID-19. Chameleon’s work sounds like the opposite goal--to help viruses get past a person’s immune system multiple times. Talk about the science in that--where did the idea come from?
- At Chameleon, you’ve developed an innovation called EVADER™. Can you explain (in simplified terms) what EVADER does to get around the issues you just described?
- Obviously getting to market for something like EVADER is something that takes a lot of time and testing and funding. Can you tell us where Chameleon is in the process?
- You’ve worked for many different groups as a scientist and now you run your own company. To all the managers and leaders out there, what is it that you would say scientists need in the workplace to be able to do their best work?
Genine Winslow is the CEO and co-founder of Chameleon Biosciences, a biotechnology company she founded in 2017 focused on safer, more effective gene therapies. At Chameleon, Genine combines her backgrounds in both immunology and gene therapy to engineer a next generation AAV based vector for systemic repeat dosing for children and adults who today cannot be treated with conventional gene therapies. Prior to Chameleon, Winslow has led gene therapy scientific initiatives at multiple companies including Audentes Therapeutics, BioMarin, BlueBird Bio, and Cell Genesys.

Dan Markel is the Founder/CEO of Rise Medical, a first-of-its-kind community of medical professionals and sexual wellness experts dedicated to the personalized treatment of vitality issues through integrative care. Alongside his wife of 30 years, he aims to provide a customized, empowering approach to rejuvenating sexual health and discovering true intimacy. Growing up in a large family separated by bitter divorce led Markel to recognize the relational cost of ongoing dysfunction and disconnection. Now, armed with trademark positivity, a sense of humor, and a unique interdisciplinary perspective, he finds immense satisfaction in helping clients work toward greater connection in their relationships.
Entrepreneurial at an early age, Markel’s first business credit was a lemonade stand in which his mom and sister were key investors. He soon picked up a paper route and earned real-world sales experience hawking candy out of his socks at school. A knack for acting led him to the world of high school theater, where he met his wife. The two moved to Los Angeles to attend Loyola Marymount University, then New York, where Dan earned an MFA from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Proving you really can do it all, he juggled running a successful Los Angeles-based real estate firm with appearances on New York soap operas, all while raising a family of six.
Working toward his MBA at the University of Southern California, Markel dove into the world of investment banking on Wall Street with Morgan Stanley. There, he specialized in private equity for startups and growth companies, raising more than $100M in over 35 offerings. Meanwhile, he developed a keen interest in the specific challenges lying at the intersection of thriving work, healthy living, and quality relationships.
This led him to create practical, people-centered solutions as the founder of multiple start-ups, actively resolving real-world problems, such as establishing one of the first “live-work” loft projects in Los Angeles and founding a national recovery company to revolutionize treatment for addiction/alcoholism. He went on to co-found Intrivo Diagnostics, responsible for the first OTC Covid testing kits coupled with user friendly APP tracking/recording results for individuals and larger populations with schools, companies, and governments. His latest venture - Pure Blue Group - is making great technological advancements in areas of digital health, humanitarian aid, fitness, and healthy cuisine.
With a proven track record of entrepreneurial success a mile long, Markel’s proudest achievement remains helping to raise his four amazing children (now adults): Vivian, Jackson, Max, and Stella. Believing that “the true test of a person’s character is what he does when no one is watching,” he strives to live every day with integrity and a lens of gratitude. He currently splits time between California and his home state of Nebraska with wife and Rise Medical Co-Founder Kathleen and their two dogs, Theo and Truck.

- Why are households now so deeply in debt?

- Some less fortunate folks have gotten far behind on their mortgage payments—and some lenders are just tacking on the missed payments, effectively making their mortgage balances larger. Is there a better way to help those struggling with their mortgage?

Ken Rosenblood, the Founder and CEO of obVus Solutions, a wellness tech company that develops award-winning products to change behavior and condition healthy habits joins eHealth Radio and Health News and Technology Channels. Ken founded obVus Solutions after a successful career as an attorney and as a C-level executive in the healthcare and technology fields. Ken has a proven successful track record of pioneering multi-billion dollar platforms and developing products and devices in practice-based healthcare.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Ken Rosenblood discuss the following:
- Please tell me about yourself and how you came to be here today.
- What inspired you to start obVus Solutions and what does your company offer?
- What exactly is the “pandemic within the pandemic”?
- How can technology address these issues within the Healthcare community?
- Why is a wearable device such as “minder a benefit to Healthcare workers?
- In closing, what is the one wellness tip you would offer to our listeners?
Ken Rosenblood is founder and CEO of obVus Solutions, [pronounced “obvious”], a Los Angeles-based wellness tech company that develops user-friendly products to change behavior and condition healthy habits. Well-tech is the convergence of devices, tech and people. The obVus Solutions award-winning product line includes five-time patented minder,® a smart wearable that prompts proper breathing, posture and mindful breaks utilizing real-time biofeedback and certified health coaches; the minder Laptop Tower Stand, an ergonomically designed, height-adjustable that turns a laptop into sit/stand/desk; and the portable, folding Bluetooth minder® keyboard that serves as the portable companion to the minder Laptop Tower Stand.
As told to Authority Magazine in the 2020 article titled, “Getting an Upgrade: How Anyone Can Build Habits for Optimal Wellness, Performance and Focus,” Ken comes from a line of entrepreneurs, and was inspired to found obVus Solutions after a long successful career as an attorney and as a C-level executive in the healthcare and technology fields.
“I’ve been fortunate enough to build on those skill sets and apply them to the founding of my own company, obVus Solutions. The inspiration for this company came after being plagued with health issues, thanks to too many long hours behind a computer and sitting at a desk, where I didn’t give much priority to my posture, stress levels or breathing habits. Those behaviors took a severe toll on my health, eventually leading me to surgery followed by a long, painful recovery period. I knew there were many others, like me, who were experiencing the same. That inspired me to develop a range of ergonomically-designed wellness products that can help people work and live better” says Ken.
A 30-year technology and healthcare veteran, Ken has a proven successful track record of pioneering multi-billion dollar platforms and developing products and devices in practice-based healthcare. Ken has had multiple successful exits from previous ventures in recurring revenue, PaaS, SaaS businesses.
“As more consumers are tasked with finding ways to work and study remotely, obVus Solutions will lead the wellness journey by helping consumers build better habits, from practicing good posture and nutrition to the management of stress and other healthy behaviors,” says Ken.

Sophie Chiche, CEO of becurrent joins eHealth Radio and the Health and Personal Development Channels. Her company has developed a system that not only allows people to be more productive, but helps them decide the most important areas to which they should devote their time. She calls it “productivity with a purpose.”
Listen to host Eric Dye & guests Sophie Chiche discuss the following:
- Being overwhelmed with tasks, whether work-related or personal, can take a toll on your health. What are some of the issues that can arise from an overloaded schedule?
- Your becurrent system helps people achieve “productivity with a purpose.” How can that improve a person’s physical and mental well-being?
- It isn’t just health per se that’s affected. Workplace stress also has been shown to lead to an increased risk of engaging in unhealthy behaviors, such as cigarette smoking, alcohol and drug abuse, and poor dietary patterns, is that correct?
- One of the concepts of your becurrent system is learning how to say “no.” Although it’s a little word – and may take a little courage to use - tell us how it can improve people’s mental health and overall outlook in the long run.
- While we used to admire people who could multitask, it’s a concept that is losing momentum. Focusing on too many things means you’re really focusing on nothing. How does feed into the cycle of damaging people’s mental and physical health?
- An August 2017 study carried out by the University of California Riverside found that companies offering employee wellness programs saw a significant gain in productivity among workers. In fact, it was found that all employees who participated improved productivity an average of one full workday per month. You work with corporations quite a bit – if you look at your program as a form of “productivity wellness,” do you feel that becurrent can have similar results in terms of overall productivity and wellness?
TIP: It’s no mystery that people, in both the professional or personal settings, who aren’t as productive as they can be – or are overwhelmed by the volume of tasks on their plate – can suffer a range of maladies, both physical and mental. It can also lead to a number of destructive behaviors, as well as lowering a company’s overall productivity – and the bottom line. In the becurrent system, people are taught to prioritize tasks, to separate what needs to be done from what can wait, and to ditch projects or tasks that simply don’t need to be done at all. In doing so, people can focus more time on the things that matter, which – in both a professional and personal setting – creates happier and more productive people and employees.
Sophie Chiche is a life strategist, creative visionary, entrepreneur, author, TEDx speaker, and psychologist. She founded several highly successful companies, including becurrent, a system that helps people achieve “productivity with purpose”; Lifebyme.com, an inspiring online community dedicated to what and who holds meaning in our lives; and Shape House, an urban sweat lodge and second home to celebrities and health enthusiasts, that has achieved over $9 million in revenue. Sophie has also written and produced a TV show about issues around weight and her universal and personal struggles with food and eating, entitled War and Piece of Cake, with guests who speak of their issues and challenges; and has written several books, the most recent of which, Closer to My Bones, is due out soon.

Before we commence I conduct an assessment of an individual’s current position across the domains of personality, social connectedness, physical health, and mental health.

Luis Manta, the Founder and Creator of Seoul Juice, a Korean Pear Juice that is as healthy as it is tasty and has been a top selling product across the United States joins eHealth Radio and the Beverage and Health News Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Luis Manta discuss the following:
- Why did you decide to create your health beverage?
- Why should people be more conscious now more than ever before about what they are putting into their bodies?
- What makes your drink different? Healthier?
- What does the future hold for your company?
- For those who haven't tried your drink... what does it taste like?
As a college athlete, I was always searching for ways to better replenish my body's nutrients. The inspiration to create a functional beverage came to me while doing research in one of my college classes. As a result of both of my parents growing up overseas, I was accustomed to eating fruits and vegetables not commonly found in the United States, and I came to realize that many of the fruits I grew up eating had many unique functional qualities.
The sports drinks I was consuming as an athlete contained many artificial ingredients, so I made it my mission to create a better-for-you hydration beverage solely from fruit. After a long experimental process of multiple recipes and countless hours in my college apartment, Seoul Juice became a reality. I am excited to share Seoul Juice with others who share my passion for clean hydration.

Tell me a little bit about Buddy and who it’s for.
If I already have health insurance, does it still make sense for me to get Buddy?
How does a person actually go about getting insured through Buddy? What are the steps?
What happens if a policyholder is injured? What would they do and what can they expect?
What does Buddy’s accident insurance cover and what does it NOT cover?
SUMMARY: Buddy can cover your kids without an adult having to be on the policy, perfect for when they go to soccer camp or on a trip, even out of the country!
Buddy provides on-demand accident insurance for active people, from casual hikers and cyclists to amateur athletes and globe-trotting adventurers. It was founded by Charles Merritt, Jay Paul and David Vogeleer of Virginia after they saw mountain-biking friends get injured and have to start GoFundMe’s to cover costs before high deductibles kicked in. Customers pay only for the coverage they need, no more, lasting anywhere from a single day to a full year. It was this novel approach that led Outside Magazine to call Buddy one of the top outdoor innovators in 2019, and for Investopedia to name it among the five best personal accident insurance companies for 2021.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Joe Liu discuss the following:
What was the impetus behind the creation of the Lively Health app?
What separates Lively Health from all the other “wellness” apps on the market?
You say your app promotes the concept of “active aging.” Can you explain exactly what that is and why it’s important?
It’s been proven that people in lower socioeconomic groups have less access to quality health care and are more susceptible to chronic medical conditions? Is that why you made the app free for download?
Your app takes a very holistic approach, asking the user to not only answer questions about their physical health but also their social, financial and psychological status. Do you feel that the medical establishment doesn’t place enough emphasis on these so-called “peripheral” areas when evaluating a person’s overall health?

Marcia Cole and Nana Eyeson-Akiwowo, Founders of Fourth Phase and the Fourth Phase Afterbirth Box that was developed to help new mothers as they transition into motherhood joins eHealth Radio and the Female Health and Health News Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Marcia Cole and Nana Eyeson-Akiwowo discuss the following:
What is the fourth trimester?
How long does the fourth trimester last?

What can new mothers do to help with the healing process after childbirth?
How can family members and friends assist new mothers during the fourth trimester?

How does the Afterbirth box help new mothers to heal, feel and be heard?
What products are included in the box and what are their significance?
Why are there two different types of boxes available for new mothers?
The idea of the company, Fourth Phase was born during Co-founder Nana Eyeson-Akiwowo's annual charity mission to Ghana. There, she witnessed the lack of postnatal attention being paid to new mothers in her homeland and vowed to do something about it.
During this same time, because of her work with women in New York City homeless shelters, co-founder Marcia Cole understood the lack of awareness about self- and afterbirth care of women in need all too well. They both took these experiences and their passion in startups, helping women and giving back to the community to launch Fourth Phase to be of greater service to women in ways often not recognized.
Through this, the Fourth Phase AfterBirth care gift boxes were conceived to support and unify mothers across the world during the time in their lives when their bodies and spirits are most delicate - after childbirth during the "fourth trimester" which is one of the most critical phases of motherhood.
Created by moms for moms, the Fourth Phase AfterBirth Box helps mothers heal, feel, and be heard. Each Fourth Phase AfterBirth care gift box is curated with a new mother’s physical and emotional recovery in mind. The 12 products featured in each hold the promise to each new mom to be hand-created, tested by new moms, organic, phthalates-free, non-toxic and sustainably sourced.

Medications don’t work for everyone. Nearly one-third of U.S. adults take five or more prescription drugs and, even when taken correctly, they can be dangerous for many. Payers, providers, and patients bear the financial and physical burdens of inappropriate, ineffective drugs. Each year medication errors lead to 128,000 deaths and the costs of medication-associated errors exceed $40 billion in the U.S. alone. The cost of getting medications wrong reverberates through the healthcare service model and echoes back as wasted resources, time, and poor health.
For hundreds of medications, successful treatment is directly related to an individual’s DNA. Natural variation in our genetic code can cause the same drug to produce different effects on different people. The science of pharmacogenomics (PGx) can now assist in assessing how each person will respond to medications, however, DNA testing alone is not sufficient. That’s why Coriell Life Sciences (CLS) leverages advanced, proprietary technology to bridge the gap between genetic knowledge and clinical application. Building on six decades of research, CLS developed a cutting-edge bioinformatics solution that interprets pharmacogenomic laboratory results and couples them with traditional medication management risk factors to deliver a dynamic regimen modeling tool.
Driving innovation in precision medicine, CLS unlocks the power of genetic science to provide actionable insights for employers, payers, healthcare providers, physicians, pharmacists, laboratories, and patients, that enable more effective and efficient care.
Backed by rigorous scientific methodology, Corigen™, CLS’ population-scale medication safety program, is the most comprehensive medication safety solution on the market. This novel solution is powered by CLS’s real-time medication decision support modeling tool, GeneDose LIVE. This unique system provides physicians with updated medication risk information for their patients’ current medication regimen and offers alternatives for safer therapy, all in real-time. GeneDose LIVE also provides risk analysis of non-genetic factors such as lifestyle, drug interactions, age-related risks, and other concerns, along with a personalized medication action plan (MAP) that reveals which medications are best suited for an individual.
By matching people with the right medications, CLS enables patients to benefit from fewer hospitalizations, less unneeded testing, and reduced doctor’s visits, ultimately decreasing healthcare costs. Most importantly, CLS reduces costly trial-and-error experimentation and speeds patients’ return to good health.
Recognized as a leader in precision medicine and health innovation—including IBM’s Entrepreneur of the Year—CLS leverages its influence to advocate for the advancement of precision medicine. The organization is highly active with the American Society of Pharmacovigilance, the Personalized Medicine Coalition, a signing member of the Get the Medications Right Institute, and passionate about educating stakeholder groups through the Population Health Colloquium, Health Action Council, Employer Health Innovation Roundtable, and various other platforms.
As CLS collaborates with major healthcare providers to empower the most precise medical care, the organization is continually pushing the boundaries of what’s possible—serving as the gold standard in knowledge and understanding of pharmacogenomics.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Karly Rowe discuss the following:
Can you tell us about Experian Health and your role within the company?
Any discussion of healthcare today is framed by the COVID-19 pandemic. From your business, your line of sight, what has the pandemic put in the spotlight?
In the early days of the pandemic, some of our healthcare organizations estimated 1,800 duplicate records were being created every 24 hours, so it is a fair bet that the numbers are even greater now as people flock to schedule vaccines. How does the growing volume of patient traffic challenge our healthcare systems?
How would a shift to standardized medical records, possibly even a universal patient ID number, help healthcare systems and health outcomes?
What direction is the industry headed and what pain points are you solving for as you look to the future?
Summary: While approximately 25% of patients used patient portals prior to COVID-19, more than 235 million adults will likely interact with a patient portal or telehealth service for the first time. This new interaction sparks opportunity – an opportunity for patients to think differently about the role they are taking/playing in managing their health and an opportunity for healthcare organizations to think about how to build on and advance this newly formed relationship.
Karly Rowe is responsible for the Patient Access, Identity, and Care Management product portfolios at Experian Health. Leveraging her diverse background across credit, retail, and healthcare, Karly is responsible for finding new ways to leverage Experian’s data and analytical capabilities to develop new, innovative solutions for the healthcare industry.

Joyce Shulman, the Founder and CEO of 99 Walks, a community that encourages health, fitness, and connection through walking joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Fitness Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Joyce Shulman discuss the following:
What are some of the earliest memories you associate with walking?
How has walking changed your life?
How can walking improve happiness?
Why is walking good for connection and relationships?
99 Walks is more than a step tracker. Can you tell us more about it?
Tip: Exercise in general, and walking in particular, has incredible benefits for our mind, our mood and our bodies. Research shows that a regular walking practice can reduce our risk of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and several types of cancer. In fact, walking is so good for you that one study showed that a regular walking practice can add up to seven years to your life. (study by European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress as reported in the Independent)
Joyce Shulman is Co-Founder and CEO of 99 Walks: a wellness and walking lifestyle brand, community and app on a mission to create community and get a million women walking. A self-confessed idea junkie, Joyce traded her law career as a commercial litigator for an entrepreneurial journey focused on what mattered to her most: family, community, and empowering women to get healthy, happy, and chase their dreams.
Throughout her personal and professional life, Joyce’s regular walking practice has been her key for managing stress, fueling creativity, and maintaining her health. After discovering that the research bears out all that she learned instinctively, Joyce and her husband and partner Eric Cohen founded 99 Walks to help women experience what recent studies have shown: that walking can improve decision-making and executive function, combat depression, increase creativity and literally add years to one’s life.
In addition to being the “Pack Leader” at 99 Walks, Joyce is an author, speaker, TEDx veteran, podcaster, and consultant for companies and women’s group, where she shares her expertise about the life-changing impact of a consistent, intentional walking practice.
Joyce received her Bachelors in Business Management from the University of Maryland and her JD, Cum Laude, from St. John’s University School of Law. After law school, she spent more than a dozen years as a New York City lawyer where her practice focused on complex commercial litigation. She calls Sag Harbor, New York home where she lives with one husband, two teenagers, and a slightly unruly dog named Moose.

Dr. David Kushner, the Medical Director at BRIGHTSIDE Clinic where he has treated hundreds of patients with Opioid Use Disorder joins eHealth Radio and the Addiction Prevention and Health News Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. David Kushner discuss the following:
What led you specifically to addiction medicine?
Substance abuse is surrounded by stigma, still, today. What is the number one thing you want people to know about those you help?
Fighting addiction is difficult in a "normal" world, but what about now? How has your mission changed? How have you shifted gears since the pandemic began?
For those who are maybe struggling right now and want to seek treatment, what is the first step they should take? What is your advice to them and/or their loved ones?
If you could give our listeners three pieces of advice and/or recommendations, what would they be?
What have you learned about yourself and/or your colleagues during this time?
TIP: A physician’s skills and knowledge will always be needed, but medicine is rapidly changing like many other industries. Providers cannot rest on their experience and credentials and allow their ego to demand patients be the only ones to change. Cutting edge is no longer just knowledge and new protocols or techniques; it is flexibility in how patients can access you, and understanding how patients and the world have changed leading to reinvention and innovation of the modern medical practice.

Podiatrist Dr. Pedram Hendizadeh, Board Certified in foot surgery by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery joins eHealth Radio and the Foot Health & Health News Channels. He also has comprehensive training in lower extremity diabetic treatment. He heads Advanced Podiatry, a practice with several locations in the greater New York area.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Pedram Hendizadeh discuss the following:
Why is it so important to take care of our feet even if we feel no pain?
What are some signs we should be aware of that indicate you have a foot issue?
Are you seeing any changes in foot health during the pandemic?
Are there any symptoms of the foot that can be an indication of a “larger” illness?
What can we do to maintain good healthy feet?
Concluding Tip: Do not ignore your health during the pandemic believing it would be more dangerous to venture out to see a doctor. Medical offices are fully prepared to treat patients in a safe way so if you notice anything out of the ordinary like swelling of the feet -- particularly if you have been rather sedentary -- this can be a sign of gout, edema or some other condition that requires attention.
Dr. Pedram Hendizadeh is the Founder and CEO of Advanced Podiatry (LIFootCare.com), one of the premier foot care groups in the US with four locations and 13 doctors, growing 35% annually. He is Board Certified by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery and is a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgery as well as the American Aesthetic Institute. He was rated a top podiatrist in the world by RateMDS.com for four years in a row.

Ernie L. Vecchio, a mentor, spiritual teacher and trauma psychologist and a Licensed Clinical & Rehabilitation Psychologist who has written four books including his latest release, Feelings & Reason: Activating Your Heart as Compass Despite the Ego’s Interference, an international best-seller in four self-help categories joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Mental Health Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Ernie L. Vecchio discuss the following:
How is human suffering self-correcting?
What is the difference between suffering for ourselves versus suffering with ourselves?
How is your work the missing piece in the mental health model?
How do you know there is a difference between life as it is and life as intended?
What determines the possibility that everyone has the capacity to be mean-spirited?
Ernie L. Vecchio is a psycho-spiritual mentor and thought leader offering contemporary wisdom on human suffering. As a trauma psychologist whose career spans 30+ years, he has treated over 10,000+ patients who suffered severe trauma that ranged from amputation, head injury, sexual assault, and paralysis. He discovered a common theme in their suffering and developed a healthy way for people to cope with adversity.
Vecchio reveals a developmental understanding of how adversity becomes an opportunity for self-correction, growth, and healing. By acknowledging the human ego is only one-third of a larger system, people learn not only what is observing their life, but why and where it is intending for them to go.
Vecchio is the author of four books that includes his latest release, Feelings & Reason: Activating Your Heart as Compass Despite the Ego’s Interference, an international best-seller. In the book, professional helpers and seekers are introduced to a developmental and new psychological theory about human suffering that merges with secular spirituality. It is the missing piece in the mental health model and advances the mind, body and spirit movement. In essence, when one utilizes the heart as a compass, the road less traveled (inward journey) presents us with a reliable map toward self-recovery and our fullest expression.

Renown Miami Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Adam Rubinstein is an award winning, board certified plastic surgeon well regarded for his outstanding work and cutting edge non-invasive and surgical plastic surgery procedures for women and men joins eHealth Radio and the Plastic Surgery Information Channel.
He is a well-known and outspoken patient advocate and is not afraid to speak out about botched plastic surgery, unsafe conditions and questionable clinics related to patient deaths. Dr. Rubinstein is passionate about his mission to educate the public about plastic surgery
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Adam J. Rubinstein discuss the following:
First just remind the audience about your practice and what you specialize in?
You have launched a social media program #itsnotallthesame – why and what are you hoping to communicate to people considering a plastic surgery procedure?
What are the most important things you think people need to know when choosing a plastic surgeon?
During the pandemic is it safe to undergo procedures and are you seeing people getting procedures more or less than pre-pandemic?
Where can people go to see the social posts about #itsnotallthesame and to learn more about you?
Summary: When Choosing a plastic surgeon it is critical to be sure that you really look at the credentials of your doctor. For plastic surgery you should make sure the doctor is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Many other people such as Dentists, Dermatologists, General Practitioners and others who are not Board Certified to do Plastic Surgery Procedures get a quick training course and name themselves Cosmetic Surgeons. My point is that it is not all the same and you would not go to a boat captain to fly you on a plane, or go through a drive through to get procedures. Be mindful as it is your life and your body.

Sayuri Tsuchitani, owner of Head Spa EN who uniquely delivers quality sleep to everyone joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Sleep Health Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Sayuri Tsuchitani discuss the following:
What is Japanese Head Spa?
Can you tell us a story about what brought you to this specific career path?
Are you able to identify a “tipping point” in your career when you started to see success? Did you start doing anything different? Are there takeaway or lessons that others can learn from that?
In your experience what were the most effective ways for your business to generate leads and sales? Can you share a story about that?
You are a person of great influence. If you could inspire a movement that would bring the most amount of good to the most amount of people, what would that be?
Sayuri Tsuchitani emigrated from Japan to New York City in 1998 to attend beauty school. She went to work as a hairstylist in Shanghai, on a cruise ship and London before returning to NYC in 2010. Her next stop was Hawaii, where she worked before landing in Beverly Hills, which she calls home since 2016.
Sayuri iregularly travels to NYC and Hawaii to accommodate her existing clients. When she is not working or traveling for work, you can find her at a local Japanese retirement and assisted-living community providing haircuts for the elderly. She is grateful for the chance to be surrounded by so many beautiful seniors, reminding her of her own grandmother in Japan. She wants to help create a joyful space for the elderly where they can gossip and laugh freely.
Sayuri also travels back to Japan to hold training and seminars in which she shares with the next generation of young hairstylists her experiences working around the world and her knowledge of Western techniques. She makes a point of collaborating with renowned U.S. stylists who can enlighten, educate, and promote female empowerment and equality for a new generation of Japanese women stylists in the traditionally male-dominated industry.
Headspa En is the fruition of her long held belief in the Japanese adage Go-En, as “serendipitous encounters resulting in everlasting relationships.” The term en itself is derived from the Japanese Buddhist term Innen, meaning a narrative of happenings based on the inter-connectedness of one's past, present, and future experiences. From that comes headspa En's byword:"Creating an Everlasting Bond”.

Tell us a bit about Senior Placement Services and what the process is like when you are working to help someone.
Does Senior Placement Services charge for the assessment and guidance given?
What motivated you to go into this line of work?
I understand you are also the CEO of Moses Behavioral Care, a group of community-based mental health facilities offering 24-hour, long-term care for the SMI (serious mental illness) population…what drove you to build your own facilities?

These efforts are motivated by her promise to uphold mental health as a critical part of overall wellness, including preventive services to the community while offering integrated care and treatment for those who require assistance with daily living.
Prior to establishing MBC, she founded Senior Placement Services with her parents and siblings. It was here she began her work in public service.

She strengthened the company's business and corporate citizenship with key partnerships (local shelters, mental health clinics, Veteran’s Administration homeless centers) and various civic and community-based organizations.
Her career ultimately began two decades ago in the private sector in learning and development. She served in various senior leadership roles with Bank of America and Director of Learning and Development with Gannett.

Donovan Quill, President and CEO of Optime Care, a nationally recognized pharmacy, distribution and patient management organization maximizing therapeutic opportunities for the treatment of orphan and rare disorders joins eHealth Radio and the Health News & Health Care Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Donovan Quill discuss the following:
Please tell our audiences about Optime Care, its goals and who it serves.
What is considered a rare or orphan disease?
What is the definition of a specialty pharmaceutical? How many drugs are currently on the market and how many in development?
How does Optime Care ensure that patients get their drugs?
What are your relationships with healthcare payers?
Optime Care, Inc. is a nationally recognized pharmacy, distribution and patient management organization offering a suite of comprehensive services tailored to maximize the therapeutic opportunities for the treatment of orphan and rare disorders. Our management team has previously partnered in the launch of more than 25 orphan products and consistently implemented the best brand program for the community. Our experience with small patient populations makes us uniquely qualified to help every stakeholder group impacted by these disorders. Optime Care has dual-accreditation from the Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (URAC) for compliance with specialty pharmacy and the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) for specialty pharmacy services that demonstrate a commitment to providing quality care and services to consumers.
Donovan Quill entered the world of healthcare after a successful coaching career and teaching at the collegiate level. His personal mission was to help patients who suffer from an orphan disorder that has affected his entire family (Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency). Donovan became a Patient Advocate for Centric Health Resources and traveled the country raising awareness, improving detection, and providing education to patients and healthcare providers.
Donovan quickly gained recognition among the patient community for his efforts. He was heavily recruited and hand-picked by Alpha-1 Foundation founder John Walsh to become the Foundation’s Director of Detection and Community Outreach. Donovan gained an in-depth knowledge of the inner workings of not-for-profit patient-driven programs while working with the Alpha-1 Foundation. His responsibilities included public policy agendas within government affairs, national targeted detection programs, research projects with “Key Opinion Leaders”, patient educational and marketing programs, fundraising efforts, and serving as a liaison to the drug manufacturers.
After leaving the not-for-profit sector, Donovan developed a new and innovative sales strategy with Talecris Biotherapeutics (now Grifols), which he piloted in a sales territory that had underperformed historically. By emphasizing education, early detection, and awareness, Donovan was able to take a poor performing territory and grow it into one of the top markets in the country in a short period of time. The strategy was so successful that Donovan was asked to work with the Brand Team to launch it throughout the rest of the country.
Donovan’s success in the sales world led to a return to Centric Health Resources (now DLSS), where he worked on their largest piece of business and developed innovative strategies to improve a growing and successful program. Over the next few years, Donovan went from directing a small team of Patient Advocates to Vice President of Patient Services to Senior Vice President of Patient Direct Programs.
Donovan’s experiences with the Alpha-1 Foundation, Centric Health Resources and DLSS have provided him the opportunity to manage all aspects of operations, develop operational plans for product launches/relaunches, improve program effectiveness, manage a large number of employees from pharmacists to nurses to patient support specialists, design infrastructure, create business development opportunities, and play a key role in companywide strategic planning.
Regardless of his position, Donovan has always kept one thing top of mind: “If you take care of the people that matter, the program will always be successful.” Donovan has spent years doing just that for patients, caregivers, healthcare providers, and product manufacturers.

What are the main ingredients to healthy and independent living beyond 50?
What are the differences between marijuana or cannabis and CBD?
How does CBD work or make a difference in physical or emotional health?
How can adults better cope with the stressors and isolation related to COVID-19?

Dr Collin’s passion for healthy aging and gerontology started when he was in high school and his father handed him the keys to the car to take his mom back and forth to work at the Assumption Nursing Home. Before and after school, he would stop in and visit with residents and staff and would continue this for decades. He became fascinated by the physical, emotional and neurological challenges faced by older Americans, especially those in senior living. It was here that Dr. Collin’s formed a life-long belief that preventative care and maintaining an active lifestyle were key in senior’s physical and emotional well-being.
Dr. Collins graduated college with the first degree ever in Applied Gerontological Studies, an approved major that he created, and then earned a master’s in sociology and psychology of aging.

After researching hundreds of medical articles, Dr. Collins became an early strong proponent of the benefits of CBD for aging-related health. Given his vast background in physical, emotional and neuro-degenerative age-related disorders, he has emerged as an expert voice in the CBD space and is currently writing a book about aging and CBD. This passion led Dr. Collins to create Sapphire Essentials, with the mission to provide the highest-quality, all-natural, organically grown medical hemp-based CBD products to older adults and seniors. Sapphire Essentials is proud to be the first and only science-based CBD brand that is specifically formulated for the needs of active seniors.

What are you finding to be the most popular cosmetic procedure?
Why do some people age better than others?
Dr. Chernoff received a Bachelor of Science degree in Anatomy from the University of Saskatchewan in Canada. After Medical School, he began the practice of medicine in Canada. He completed his surgical residency in Otolaryngology, which included extensive training in Head and Neck Surgery, Microvascular Surgery, Reconstructive Surgery, and Cosmetic Surgery. During his surgical residency, Dr. Chernoff saw the devastating effects of Cancer. He decided to complete additional training to further his surgical expertise to help cancer patients requiring complex facial reconstruction. He completed three fellowships to master the art of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. He completed his first fellowship in Flow Cytometry and Laser Surgery in Canada.
To further his expertise, he completed his second fellowship in Indianapolis, Indiana in Head and Neck Surgery, Microvascular Surgery, Breast, and Body Contouring. This extensive training allowed Dr. Chernoff to operate on the most complex facial reconstructive cases involving cancer of the head, face, and neck. Most surgical cases required him to operate between 12-18 hours for each patient, some requiring multiple surgeries to complete the reconstruction of facial bones, jaws, noses, and necks. After demonstrating expertise in complex reconstructive plastic surgery, Dr. Gregory Chernoff was selected to complete a fourth fellowship, training under one of the top plastic surgeons in the world. He completed this fellowship at the University of California in San Francisco in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

He was one of the pioneers of both surgical and non-surgical laser therapy. He wrote one of the very first papers on CO2 Laser Resurfacing. The Indianapolis Plastic Surgeon’s laser research is extensive and has been instrumental in developing and refining accepted laser techniques utilized by physicians worldwide. Research is important to him since it allows him to stay on the cutting edge of new therapies and techniques. He continues to conduct alpha and beta testing for medical and biotech companies. This is the testing that is used in the clinical trial phase for a therapy or technology prior to FDA approval.
Companies use Dr. Chernoff’s research data to submit these therapies or technologies for FDA approval. He is involved in research studies for cosmetic laser, radio frequency, ultrasound, injectable fibroblast, and stem cell therapy companies.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Nathan Jones discuss the following:
We heard that your company, Xlear, has been conducting research with The Institute for Antiviral Research at Utah State University about COVID-19. Can you tell us more about the research?
You have started with this research at the beginning of the pandemic. What progress have you made since then?
Although you are an entrepreneur, you come from a medical family and your father is a medical doctor. We learned that he has recently published a book about COVID-19. It’s main premise is that we should wash our noses. Can you elaborate on that?
What trends have you seen in how people approach their health during pandemic?
What do you hope to see happen as we move into Fall?
Nathan was born in Kansas City and he spent his formative years in Idaho, in a small town where his father was the town doctor. Later, in a pursuit to provide needed support for the entire family of 14 kids, Nathan’s parents have made the decision to move to Michigan, Mexico City, where he spent most of his childhood. When he was 16 years old, the family made another move, this time to Utah which is also where Nathan graduated from high school. He attended college for a year, spent a year in active duty, and also went on a two year mission with his church. He moved back home in 1994 and started attending Utah Valley University. Later, he made a transition to Seattle where he attended school to become a commercial diver - he used skills form this education when he worked as a diver in oilfields in Louisiana between 1995 and 2000. Another transition occurred when he moved back to Utah and founded Xlear in 2000 where he has been ever since.
About the BOOK: In Asthma and Allergy Solution that Works for COVID-19: The Powerful Natural Prescription for Respiratory Health During the Coronavirus Pandemic, Dr. Lon Jones, D.O., a Texas-based family medicine physician who pioneered the nasal uses of the healthy sugar xylitol, explains that simple methods of self-protection that go beyond face masks, including washing your nose as regularly as you do your hands, could result in significantly reduced risk of infection. Based on the latest studies and his own clinical experience, Dr. Jones teaches us how supporting our nasal defenses can eliminate coronavirus when its viral load is lightest and the virus is still located in the upper respiratory tissues before it has spread to the lungs.

Dr. Nathan S. Bryan, Founder and CEO of Pneuma Nitric Oxide, an international expert on nitric oxide and is an inventor on over two dozen issued US and international patents joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Skin Care Channels. Pneuma Nitric Oxide is the latest company started by Dr. Bryan to deliver nitric oxide topically for skin care and anti-aging.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Nathan S. Bryan, discuss the following:
What is nitric oxide and why should our listeners want to know about it?
What are some common causes of loss of nitric oxide production?
What happens when we can't produce enough nitric oxide?
How can we improve our body's ability to produce nitric oxide and prevent its loss?
Are there safe and effective nitric oxide products that have been studied in clinical trials?
As a pioneering figure in the field of nitric oxide research, Dr. Nathan Bryan Ph.D., has teamed up with Pneuma Nitric Oxide, LLC to create a category of revolutionary beauty products known as Nitriceuticals. Dr. Bryan’s research has led to the development of Nitric Oxide based skincare and wellness products that promote beauty and anti-aging on the molecular level. He holds more than a dozen issued U.S. and international patents for his breakthrough techniques in human physiology and disease management.
Dr. Nathan Bryan, Ph.D. earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from the University of Texas at Austin. He went on to receive his doctoral degree from the Louisiana State University School of Medicine. Devoted to research, Dr. Bryan pursued his post-doctoral training as a Kirschstein Fellow at Boston University School of Medicine and held a faculty position at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. He was the first to describe nitrite and nitrate as indispensable nutrients required for optimal cardiovascular health and has since made many seminal discoveries. He is an international leader in molecular medicine and nitric oxide biochemistry.
According to Dr. Bryan, “Nitric oxide is considered one of the most important molecules produced in the human body. I feel I have an obligation and a responsibility to educate the masses on the importance of nitric oxide so they can reap the benefits of nitric oxide product technology. I’m passionate about bringing validated science of nitric oxide to the beauty world because it will truly transform the beauty industry and the people who use it.
As a highly sought-after doctor, researcher, and speaker, Dr. Nathan Bryan Ph.D. has written numerous research papers and books. He travels the globe to educate and create awareness regarding the essential nature of nitric oxide production in the body and what happens when one becomes deficient as we age. One of those books, Functional Nitric Oxide Nutrition, was designed to help the everyday person understand this “miracle molecule” and how it affects everything from cardiovascular health and the immune system to the aging process of the skin.
“We know that advanced aging is due to poor circulation to the skin and decreased oxygen and nutrient delivery. This causes loss of hydration, oxidative stress which leads to fine lines and wrinkles, poor complexion and inflammation. By using nitric oxide-based skin care products, we open up the circulation and allow oxygen and nutrients to be delivered to the cells of our skin. This improves cellular function, enhances cellular regeneration and improves the look and function of our skin. If you give the body what it needs, it heals itself. Nitric oxide is what’s been missing in the beauty world. I’m excited to bring this product technology to the masses,” says Dr. Bryan.
Dr. Nathan Bryan's research led him to this question: how can we harness the miraculous benefits of Nitric Oxide for use in skin care? Thus, the relationship between Dr. Nathan Bryan Ph.D. and Pneuma Nitric Ode, LLC was born. Utilizing Dr. Bryan's pioneering research, Pneuma Nitric Oxide, LLC has focused on connecting both beauty and wellness with nitric oxide-based technology that promotes beauty and anti-aging on the molecular level. With vigor and drive, Dr. Nathan Bryan Ph.D. continues to pioneer the way for the science and the beauty world to merge, delivering practical insight and power-packed beauty products that are sure to change lives for decades to come.

Can you tell us more about Ria Health and how it helps people who want to drink less alcohol, or even stop for good?

But if someone does want to go abstinent, these methods can help as well?
How did you get involved with Ria?
In your experience, how would someone know if they are drinking too much and need to seek support to cut back or stop?

Since Ria began in 2016, they have served over 1500 people and counting who want to improve their relationship with alcohol.
Ria Health is also covered by many major health insurers across the US, and on average, Ria Members see a 75% reduction in their Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) levels after 12 months in the program.
Katie Lain joined Ria Health after she overcame alcohol addiction through this evidence-based treatment method. She now works both professionally and personally to raise awareness about these options for treating alcohol dependence.

Powerful-U Creator (the world’s first personal evolution company), Award-Winning Filmmaker + Co-Author of "PERCEPTION: Seeing Is Not Believing," James Purpura joins eHealth Radio and the Depression and Mental Health Channels to talk about "How to Love Yourself." He has created a documentary along with a book both with the same title, PERCEPTION: Seeing Is Not Believing.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest James Purpura discuss the following:
What is the premise behind Powerful-U and what is the first step in loving yourself?
Why do we sometimes not see ourselves as others see us?
How can we know how others truly perceive us?
Why do some of us seem to be inherently negative, and others eternally optimistic
How do we change? And does change always have to be painful?
PERCEPTION: Seeing Is Not Believing” Synopsis — James and Steph Purpura’s journey of transformation is nothing short of extraordinary. Before they met 15 years ago, their lives had hit rock bottom. Each was financially, emotionally, and spiritually bankrupt. At the lowest point in their lives, they met and shared a vision of creating a life beyond their wildest dreams. They helped each other to personally evolve, clearing away barriers to self-fulfillment, using the power of perception to change self-limiting beliefs, enabling them to better sense and take advantage of opportunities. Shortly after meeting, Steph wrote James' first resume and taught him how to send an email. This initiated an unlikely but highly successful career in the technology industry.
Fast forward more than a decade, and their personal philosophy around perception had further evolved, along with the rapid growth in their tech company, until its sale gave them the freedom to begin helping others full time. With their seminar company, Powerful U, they are now sharing their accumulated knowledge so that personal development can be made affordable and accessible for all seekers.
We highly recommend viewing the film prior to the interview, which will definitely help the conversation. While many of us are on lock down during this pandemic, James is gifting a free film download for all who hope to benefit from its messaging.

Dr. Nathan Bryan, PhD with Pneuma Nitric Oxide, a pioneer behind scientifically proven nitric oxide-based technologies for use in skin care and cosmetics who has been involved in nitric oxide research for decades joins eHealth Radio and the Skin Care and Health News Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Nathan Bryan discuss the following:
You are a part of a company called Pneuma Nitric Oxide, LLC, tell us about the company and what your contribution is?
Can you share some of your research findings and accomplishments?
What are the benefits and why is Nitric Oxide so important?
Is nitric oxide the new ingredient that will effectively combat aging?
You are the first to introduce Nitric Oxide into the beauty arena, what makes Pneuma Nitric Oxide Serum so unique and how is it used?
Tip: Pneuma Nitric Oxide does not replace any product in a skin care regime, it adds a new tool to our armamentarium of caring for our patients.
As a pioneering figure in the field of nitric oxide research, Dr. Nathan Bryan Ph.D., has teamed up with Pneuma Corp. LLC to create a category of revolutionary beauty products known as Nitriceuticals. Dr. Bryan’s research has led to the development of Nitric Oxide based skincare and wellness products that promote beauty and anti-aging on the molecular level. He holds more than a dozen issued U.S. and international patents for his breakthrough techniques in human physiology and disease management.
Dr. Nathan Bryan, Ph.D. earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from the University of Texas at Austin. He went on to receive his doctoral degree from the Louisiana State University School of Medicine. Devoted to research, Dr. Bryan pursued his post-doctoral training as a Kirschstein Fellow at Boston University School of Medicine and held a faculty position at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. He was the first to describe nitrite and nitrate as indispensable nutrients required for optimal cardiovascular health and has since made many seminal discoveries. He is an international leader in molecular medicine and nitric oxide biochemistry.
According to Dr. Bryan, “Nitric oxide is considered one of the most important molecules produced in the human body. I feel I have an obligation and a responsibility to educate the masses on the importance of nitric oxide so they can reap the benefits of nitric oxide product technology. I’m passionate about bringing validated science of nitric oxide to the beauty world because it will truly transform the beauty industry and the people who use it.
As a highly sought-after doctor, researcher, and speaker, Dr. Nathan Bryan Ph.D. has written numerous research papers and books. He travels the globe to educate and create awareness regarding the essential nature of nitric oxide production in the body and what happens when one becomes deficient as we age. One of those books, Functional Nitric Oxide Nutrition, was designed to help the everyday person understand this “miracle molecule” and how it affects everything from cardiovascular health and the immune system to the aging process of the skin.
We know that advanced aging is due to poor circulation to the skin and decreased oxygen and nutrient delivery. This causes loss of hydration, oxidative stress which leads to fine lines and wrinkles, poor complexion and inflammation. By using nitric oxide-based skin care products, we open up the circulation and allow oxygen and nutrients to be delivered to the cells of our skin. This improves cellular function, enhances cellular regeneration and improves the look and function of our skin. If you give the body what it needs, it heals itself. Nitric oxide is what’s been missing in the beauty world. I’m excited to bring this product technology to the masses,” says Dr. Bryan.
Dr. Nathan Bryan's research led him to this question: how can we harness the miraculous benefits of Nitric Oxide for use in skin care? Thus, the relationship between Dr. Nathan Bryan Ph.D. and Pneuma Corp. LLC was born.
Utilizing Dr. Bryan's pioneering research, Pneuma Corp LLC has focused on connecting both beauty and wellness with nitric oxide-based technology that promotes beauty and anti-aging on the molecular level. With vigor and drive, Dr. Nathan Bryan Ph.D. continues to pioneer the way for the science and the beauty world to merge, delivering practical insight and power-packed beauty products that are sure to change lives for decades to come.

BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. (Nasdaq: BDSI) (“BDSI”) launch This Is Pain, a long-term initiative that aims to improve the lives of over 10 million[1] American adults living with chronic pain.
Chronic pain is one of the most common reasons[2] that Americans visit a healthcare professional and yet this disease is widely misunderstood and can be incredibly isolating, debilitating and frustrating for those living with it. This is in large part, due to the fact that each person’s pain is highly individualized and not visible to that person’s peers, colleagues and wider society.
This Is Pain seeks to first confront the stigma around the disease state, creating widespread awareness and empathy, in order to ultimately combat the systemic challenges those living with chronic pain face. These challenges include experiencing unfair treatment in the workplace and difficulty in accessing affordable treatment options. The long-term goals of the campaign include achieving the following:
Wider societal recognition of chronic pain as a disease state, not a symptom
Policy change to increase access to safe and effective treatment options for chronic pain individuals living with chronic pain
Increased research funding to improve existing treatments and develop innovative therapies for individuals living with chronic pain
Fairer treatment and representation in the workplace.
“People living with chronic pain face unimaginable hurdles and struggles in their daily lives and I believe that we can alleviate some of the challenges they face by first drawing attention to what it is really like to live with pain.” stated Herm Cukier, CEO of BDSI. “We know that change is borne out of a communal desire to act and that is exactly what we need to achieve to impact the lives of those living with chronic pain.”
Event: This Is Pain: An Exhibition by Trina Merry Art Exhibit Date: Thursday, December 12th - Sunday, December 15th Time: 8:00AM - 8:00PM Location: The Oculus Outdoor Plaza - New York CitySocial: #ThisIsPain @ThisIsPain Website: www.thisispain.com

The one-of-a kind artwork will be displayed in an exhibition at Oculus Plaza in New York City starting December 12th through December 15th.
Penney Cowan of the ACPA says of the exhibition, “If we can encourage people to take a moment out of their day to learn about the disease and really see how this disease impacts those living with chronic pain , we believe we can start to generate the support we need to effect real change.”
BDSI will continue to pursue its endeavor until significant improvements are made at a systemic level.

Heather Hughes, Founder of BioFit 360, who has been working in the healthcare industry for over 20 years joins eHealth Radio and the Health News Channel.
After hundreds of hours of research, product testing and consultation, Heather and her team brought BioFit 360 to market, sourcing the products from the most trusted manufacturers with the highest ratings.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Heather Hughes discuss the following:
Why did you create BioFit 360?
What are issues that you see with dosage transparency in your industry?
I understand you have an Ambassadog? What does Frankie do for BioFit 360?
Tell me more about the environmental benefits of industrial hemp farming?
Where can our listeners learn more about BioFit 360?
Heather Hughes has been working in healthcare for 20 years, and her husband’s family has been involved in farming and agriculture for generations. This uniquely qualifies her to lead a company that produces the highest quality and most effective CBD products, understanding and overseeing every step of creation, from plant to person.
Heather grew up in Jamestown, North Dakota. She obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Marketing from Minnesota State University Moorhead, and an MBA from North Dakota State University in Fargo. She then moved to Southern California where she began working in healthcare management, and where she and her husband purchased a grapefruit orchard.
While in North Dakota, Heather worked for a research organization which did pharmaceutical testing of generic drugs and for which she wrote the final FDA reports. In Southern California, Heather has worked for over a decade as the Director of Care Coordination for a major health care management company. Working with wonderful nurses and teams of dedicated healthcare professionals, she became aware of the harsh realities of opioid and other prescription drug abuse.
A few years ago she realized the benefits of using industrial hemp-derived CBD in treating an extraordinary number of ailments. Meanwhile, the Asian Citrus Psyllid was slowly spreading in California and carrying a deadly tree virus that had infected about 90 percent of the citrus crop in Florida. So she applied to the California Department of Food and Agriculture and became registered to cultivate industrial hemp. Simultaneously, Heather was sought-out by a group of health care professionals who asked her to join them in creating a CBD company. Their common goal was to help patients manage chronic conditions like pain and anxiety in a more natural, plant-based way.
After hundreds of hours of research, product testing and consultation, Heather and her team brought BioFit 360 to market, sourcing the products from the most trusted manufacturers with the highest ratings. Soon an esteemed crop of experts will be collaborating on manufacturing BioFit 360 products using industrial hemp organically grown in the Hughes Citrus orchard.
In addition to working with BioFit 360, Heather is the busy mother of three, is active in animal rescue, and in her rare moments of leisure, she enjoys early mornings with a good book and a cup of Irish Breakfast tea.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Corinna Stoeffl discuss the following:
If we are dealing with a change in our life like losing a job, changing jobs, moving house, getting married, becoming a parent, getting divorced, someone dying, what would be your advice to offer someone feeling overwhelmed in this time of transition in their lives?
How can we use questions to look at things from different angles when facing big changes?
Why is it important to get the support for ourselves from a Right Voice coach like yourself, in making choices and actualizing possibilities so you can create the life you love during a time of change?
What happens when you have someone around you who offers no judgement of what your life should be like to support you through a time of change?
What would be one easy to use and effective tool that you can use in any situation to have more clarity and ease when working with change in our lives?
Corinna Stoeffl has a Masters in Counseling and has worked several thousand hours as a life coach with people to create the change they desired. Corinna Stoeffl is fascinated with words and language. It is important to her that the meaning of the word is reflected in the way it is used. She enjoys the conversations where both are able to let go of their respective points of view and explore a subject by looking at it from a variety of different angles. She loves to ‘philosophize’. In her view, the way we use words reflects on the relationships we have with others, as well as the relationship we have with ourselves. The words we use can give us so much information in that regard.
As a facilitator of Right Voice for You, a specialty program of Access Consciousness®, Corinna loves to support others, especially artists and small business owners to find their voices, to express what is important to them.

Keith Bernard, CEO of CLEAR2O®, one of the leading manufacturers of high-quality water filtration products joins eHealth Radio and the Health News Channel.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Keith Bernard discuss the following:
We know that the quality of tap water varies from state to state, even town to town. But how contaminated can tap water really be?
We're familiar with the horrible water situation that recently took place in Flint, MI, and now there is severe levels of lead in the water in Newark, NJ. How common a problem is this?
How much can water filtration help with the average household water? How much can it help with extreme examples like Newark and Flint?
Are all water filters the same? What makes them different?
On your website, you say that you use solid-block carbon rather than granulated carbon. Why is solid-block carbon better?
It'd one thing to have clean water at home, but what about when you're away from home? How can you assure you're getting clean water while you're on the road?
TIP: Few would argue that clean drinking water is an essential element in everyone's lives. But even if you think the water in your city or town is fine, there are likely a number of contaminants that, while not immediately harmful, can potentially have long-term effects on your health. It's a good idea to periodically check the water quality reports for your town, which are generally available online. But even without checking the reports, there is no reason not to use a high-quality water filter to ensure that even the smallest amounts of undesirable chemicals and minerals are removed. You'll have healthier water, which will likely make it smell and taste better. But do your homework: not all filters remove all contaminants - plus some actually remove minerals that are good for you. If you want the cleanest water you can get, it will take a little effort on your part, but the results will be worth it.
As president and CEO of CLEAR2O®, Keith is responsible for the strategic, tactical and operational direction of the company. He is a seasoned, competent, professional leader of marketing, product & brand development, and sales initiatives at Procter & Gamble, Black & Decker, and Applica Consumer Products. Balanced combination of business knowledge, technical understanding and leadership skills with an ability to work effectively internally, externally and at all levels. Specialties: strategic planning, brand development, product development, product sourcing, brand licensing, new business initiatives, strategic alliance management, business process improvements.

Dr. Evan Allen, a board-certified physician in obesity and owner at Total Care Family Practice in Las Vegas, Nevada joins eHealth Radio and the Nutrition & Weight Management Channels to talk about the dangers of saturated fats.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Evan Allen discuss the following:
How does the food industry purposefully mislead us?

If someone switches to a vegan diet, how quickly can they expect a recovery in their health?
Why write this book now?
What is one thing you want to tell other physicians with this book?
Tip: By minimizing the quantity of saturated fat in the diet, we can end heart disease and other ailments by practicing a lifestyle-first methodology, and reverting to medication and surgery as a last resort.
Dr. Evan Allen has been practicing medicine for a quarter century, and in that time, he’s opened two practices in Henderson, Nevada, and received board-certification from the American Board of Obesity Medicine. When Dr. Allen began to pay more attention to nutrition, the health of his patients improved. This discovery sent him on a search for a book like this one—a search that came up empty. With this book, Dr. Allen wants to give healthcare providers what he never had: a guide for talking to their patients about a healthy diet that’s low in saturated fat. Dr. Allen lives in Henderson with his son.

Richard “Richie” Harrington is the founder and CEO of Vaital Organics, a Los Angeles-based health and wellness company that is pioneering CBD-infused superfood supplements with an emphasis on healthier living.
Born and raised in Santa Monica and residing on the Westside for his entire life, Richie only moved away from Los Angeles to attend school and play football in Oregon. After a string of injuries ended his athletic career and left him with a great deal of post-surgery pain and inflammation, Richie turned to CBD and hemp products as an alternative to opioid medications. After college, Harrington continued to deal with the same issues and sought a way to take control of his health for good. That’s when he met Vaital co-founder, Reno Rollé Jr. Reno also used cannabis and hemp products as alternative medicines to fight the opioid epidemic and introduced Richie to superfoods as a holistic alternative to supplements and as a way to boost energy levels, improve overall wellness, and springboard himself into a better diet and exercise routine. Richie began to see cannabis products and superfoods as the perfect marriage: CBD for inflammation and pain management, as well as to level out brain activity, and superfoods to boost energy, metabolism and overall health and wellness. From this realization and partnership, Vaital Organics was born.
From the company’s conception in July of 2018, Richie has had to wear a lot of hats at Vaital. As founder and CEO, Richie is on the ground overseeing day-to-day operations, communicating with stakeholders, managing finances and sales all the way through the backend. Vaital is his passion, born out of a vision to create an alternative wellness solution that offered benefits that no other superfood or CBD product on the market could match.

His memory of each day includes the day of the week, the weather in his locale, news events and personal experiences. Recalling so much in his life had its advantages and disadvantages.
The advantages include recall of every happy experience he had with friends, family, school, and his wife. The corollary of that is that he remembers all the negative things. Bad days at work and school, slights from people, romantic breakups etc. Before he began his own journey, he would recall bad memories with the same emotional intensity as if he was experiencing it now. He had learned to let go of the feelings.
Frank now counsels and coaches people to heal from the ill effects of their own traumatic and unpleasant memories. This can help people be happier and move on to a successful present and future.
Frank lives with his wife in Dennisville, New Jersey. He is in private practice at Associates for Life Enhancement in Northfield, New Jersey. Frank enjoys going to the beach, reading, writing, playing quizzo with friends (It's a trivia game) and playing ball with his grandsons.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Chris Tutt discuss the following:
What’s the difference between Physical Therapy and other practices like chiropractic care?
This is a very versatile field – you treat people recovering from surgeries, athletes, people get back to work, MS patients and even sometimes to lose enough weight to have a life-saving surgery. How does a patient choose a physical therapist?
“PT over Pills” is a new initiative the your practice is advocating – what does that mean?
PT as prevention – do you’re saying people don’t need to be in pain to see at PT?
Your clinics are trialing a new virtual reality program to combat chronic pain – tell me more about that.
TIP: Chris will recommend the best practice stretch for back pain Lower back pain effects millions of Americans each year. I enjoy this exercise because the highest number of people can be helped by it. Think about the last time when you hurt your back. You probably moved around all stiff, kept your back straight, and it felt better. Using these same techniques in preventive manner you can protect your back when engaging in strenuous activities as well as when your back is hurting. Imagine that someone is going to slug you in the stomach. Now, I don't get into fights but this really works! If someone is going to slug you in the stomach what are you going to do? You're going to tighten up your stomach. By tightening you stomach, with tightens your oblique muscles on the sides of your trunk, which in turn tightens an area of thick tissue in your back called your thoracolumbar fascia. This helps to create a natural back brace enabling you to use your muscles to provide support for your back giving you more core strength for dynamic activities as well as to stabilize your back after an injury.
Chris Tutt, PT, MBA, is a physical therapist and co-CEO of ProActive Physical Therapy Specialists.
Chris completed his undergraduate degree at Oregon State University and his Master of Physical Therapy degree from at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles/Chapman University and his Master’s Degree in Business Administration from Troy University in Troy, Alabama.
His areas of specialization include TMJ/TMD dysfunction, work conditioning, physical/functional capacity evaluations, and industrial rehabilitation. He is often referred to as "The Body Mechanic" for his love of helping people recover from their injures. Outside of the clinic he enjoys cycling, weight lifting, flying, hiking, camping, taking his 6 ft telescope into the countryside to explore galaxies and planets, and spending time with his wife and teenage daughters.

Dr. Muradâs mission is to teach people how to manage cultural stress through a comprehensive treatment plan he describes in his published books and on his website.
Â
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Howard Murad discuss the following:
What is Cultural Stress and when did you first identify it?
Do you think things like our digital devices and cellphones are contributors?
Why do you think that people are so stressed out? Is it worse than ever?
You say that there are three ways to determine if a person is a victim of Cultural Stress? What are they?
Dr. Howard Murad is recognized as The Father of Modern Wellness® based on his years of expertise as a board-certified dermatologist and pharmacist whose holistic health approach recognizes the mind/body/skin connection in living a healthier, happier life â at any age. Dr. Muradâs ability to âconnect the dotsâ linking cellular hydration, nutrition, joyful exercise, creative expression, reducing cultural stress, and efficacious skincare, are unique contributions to Modern Wellness.
A practitioner not just of medicine but of the philosophy of health, Dr. Murad has been studying the effects of the environment, nutrition, and lifestyle on skin and overall wellness since 1972. In 1989 â at the age of 50 â he founded Murad, Inc. and launched the first science-backed, doctor-branded skincare line. Understanding that healthy skin comes from the inside out, Dr. Murad was the first to also introduce âinternal skincareâ first through supplements and later expanding it to include mental and emotional wellbeing which became the beginning of the Inclusive Health® movement.
Having treated over 50,000 patients and counting, Dr. Murad hopes to inspire people to achieve not just beautiful skin â but greater health and happiness inside and out. Dr. Muradâs inclusive health protocol has been fundamental in reversing the effects of âCultural Stress,â a condition he named and identified as the constant and pervasive form of stress due to modern day living which has been scientifically shown to have a negative impact on cellular health.
Dr. Muradâs impact on healthy living reaches far beyond his legendary skincare line. Today, much of Dr. Muradâs work involves teaching people how to manage cultural stress through a comprehensive treatment plan he describes in his published books and online at www.drhowardmurad.com.

Alice Holland, Doctor of Physical Therapy and Director of Stride Strong Physical Therapy in Portland, Oregon. Her clinics, one in Hillsboro and another in Beaverton, provides outpatient physical therapy to adults who have muscle, joint and skeletal injuries as well as helping patients with post-operative rehab joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Physical Therapy Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Alice Holland discuss the following:
"Physical Therapy can heal the world." That's a strong statement. Why do you believe this?
What do you think threatens the physical therapy profession today?
What sets your company, Stride Strong Physical Therapy, apart from all other physical therapy clinics?
Tell me about the your top accomplishments as a physical therapist?
When should patients seek the help of a physical therapist like you and your team?
Dr. Alice Holland, PT, DPT is a graduate of University of Southern California and has been treating adults of all ages and all backgrounds with muscle and joint injuries since 2007. Since then, she has been a huge advocate for the physical therapy profession, regularly hosting community outreach events and educating the public on the power of physical therapy to regain their health.
Her experience in treating patients of all walks of life has been extensive. Having guided countless patients in their recovery from back, neck, hip and knee surgeries to treating injured workers and helping them on their continuum of returning to full duty; to treating injured athletes and runners back to their sport, Alice acquired a deep understanding of the body and how it moves.
In 2012, Alice created Stride Stride Physical Therapy of Portland, Oregon. In 2017 after the success of her first clinic, she expanded her practice into a further satellite clinic, Stride Strong Physical Therapy of Hillsboro. Her company's mission statement is simple: Give patients the healthcare that they deserve. Therefore, patient appointments are held at 45 minutes to 1 hour long, one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy.
Alice and her team at Stride Strong PT believe in a multi-modality approach in taking care of their patients. Firstly, physical therapists identify patients' disorders from watching their postures and movement, then treat affected joints with manual therapy and massage therapy, and finally guide and cue them with exercise therapy and movement corrections so patients can learn to use their bodies effectively with stability and less pain. From patients who have trouble picking up their laundry, to patients who are struggling with kicking soccer balls, Alice and Stride Strong physical therapists strive to get to the bottom of each patient's movement disorder - and therefore, relieve pain at its source.

The findings from that research developed into BodyBio as we know it today.
BodyBio products stand out from the majority of vitamins and supplements on the market because they were created for those with complex disorders. BodyBio products are developed to offer the purest, non-oxidized, high-quality supplements founded on the market. BodyBio focuses on âcell membrane medicineâ â an investigation into real-world science, not fictional promises.

Jennifer Ernst, CEO & Co-founder at Tivic Health, a bioelectronic medical device company devoted to harnessing the power of neuromodulation to help empower those suffering from chronic conditions joins eHealth Radio and the Health News Channel.
Â
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Jennifer Ernst discuss the following:
Millions of people experience pain every day and many of them turn to medication for relief. Tell me about the field of microcurrent and bioelectronics and its role in pain management.
What inspired you to pursue creating a bioelectronic device using microcurrent to relief sinus pain?
How does ClearUP⢠Sinus Pain Relief work?
You recently completed a clinical trial exploring the efficacy of ClearUP⢠Sinus Pain Relief, tell us about the results.
When do you expect to receive FDA clearance on ClearUP⢠Sinus Pain Relief and where will people be able to purchase the device?
Jennifer Ernst is CEO at Tivic HealthTM Systems Inc. in Menlo Park, CA. Her career in technology has been characterized by driving transformational technology to market. She began her career at Xerox PARC in Palo Alto, one of the worldâs leading research laboratories, focused on getting technology out of the lab and into the market. She held varying roles in strategic business development, marketing and sales. Ernst holds an MBA from Santa Clara University, graduating with Honors.
For the past 15 years, Jennifer has dedicated herself to identifying and building global businesses out of cutting-edge technologies. Prior to founding Tivic Health, she served as Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Chief Strategy Officer, and CEO of the US subsidiary of Thin Film Electronics. Of note, she launched early electronic labels which led to the company winning the Wall Street Innovation Award and the World Technology Award. In addition, as part of the companyâs executive management, Ernst transformed the company from an 8-person R&D company to a recognized leader in printed electronics with a peak market cap of $480MM in less than 5 years.
Ernstâs ability to recognize unmet market needs led her to co-found Tivic Health in 2016 with biomedical engineer and inventor, John Claude. She recognized the potential of yet another new technology, bioelectronic medicine, and a rapidly growing segment of the projected $6.2 billion market size of the neuromodulation industry by 2020. (1) She saw the potential to help the 34MM Americans with chronic sinusitis (2) and 22 million adults who suffer from allergic rhinitis each year. (3) Whereas neuromodulation and bioelectronic medicine have historically been used in implantable devices, the team saw the potential for packaging a powerful pain relief technique into a simple-to-use handheld device. The companyâs product, ClearUPTM Sinus Pain Relief, delivers sinus pain relief without pharmaceuticals or nasal flushing, addressing a significant unmet clinical need.
