All three have teamed up for a special recording of the classic “Silver Threads and Golden Needles”.
Originally recorded in 1956 by rockabilly pioneer Wanda Jackson and later championed by legends like Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette, and Loretta Lynn, the song has long stood as an anthem of strength and independence—now reimagined by three women honoring that enduring tradition.
Award-winning singer-songwriter Lee Newton’s latest project, the acoustic album ‘Beautifully Undone,’ is available now. Featuring a collection of songs from across her career, the project presents each track in a more intimate acoustic setting, bringing the lyrics and emotion to the forefront while offering a fresh perspective on the songs fans already love.

Georgette has performed at the Opry, the Ryman and has toured across the US, Canada and overseas. In addition to singing and songwriting, she is also an author. She co-wrote her biography, "The Three of Us", which was about her life growing up with her famous parents.
Georgette also acted in the TV series, "Sordid Lives" along side Leslie Jordan and Olivia Newton John as well as singing on the soundtrack.
Heidi Parton is the daughter of singer-songwriter and musician Randy Parton and the niece of Dolly Parton.

She began dancing in a Dollywood show at 13, became a featured vocalist at 15, and secured a spot as the headliner of her own show at Dollywood in 2024.

THE CHAPLAIN AND THE DOCTOR is filled with warmth and humor, this buddy film follows two unlikely allies working to bring curiosity, connection, and compassion to a broken healthcare system - one patient at a time. Betty Clark is an 80-year-old, African American chaplain on staff at The Wilma Chan Highland Hospital Campus, the level-one trauma center in Oakland, California.
Jessica Zitter is a white Jewish physician who has been Betty’s colleague on the Palliative Care service for over a decade. The two women are an unlikely team: chaplains and doctors do not usually pair up within the hierarchical and siloed halls of the hospital.
Dr. Zitter, trained to believe in medical interventions and science, was not seeking a relationship with a chaplain. And Chaplain Clark never expected the doctor to take interest in her work. But with time, the two women’s shared values and history overcome the forces that keep them apart, and they go on to do their best work together.
THE CHAPLAIN & THE DOCTOR models a new kind of care, one that honors both spirit and body, the diverse backgrounds of patients, and the most human needs we all share.
This is a must see film documentary not just about the story of two women who take their purpose and professions to help others, but we see that it help each other to become even better versions of themselves. #healtcare #doctor #chaplain #documentary #film #filmmaker #filmmaking #filmdirector #bondoncinema #medicine #faith #spiritual #healing

country superstar Sammy Sadler. Who continues to honor the legacy of ’80s and ’90s country with the release of his latest single, “If I Had A Cheating Heart.” Originally a Top 10 hit for Mel Street in 1978, the song was later re-recorded by Ricky Lynn Gregg in 1993, reaching the Top 40. Written by Wayland Holyfield and Al Turney, “If I Had a Cheating Heart” has become a favorite among country traditionalists.
Sammy Sadler’s take on the classic track proves that his timeless style continues to resonate with fans of authentic country music. With a career shaped by determination and raw talent, Sammy Sadler has carved out a story all his own in Nashville.
He first gained national attention in 1989 with his charting rendition of Aaron Neville’s “Tell It Like It Is,” followed by “You Made It Easy.” But his momentum was cut short when he was seriously wounded in the same shooting that took the life of Cash Box chart director Kevin Hughes—an incident that became known as the “Murder on Music Row.”
But Sammy Sadler is excited to be doing select shows with singer-songwriter Dave Gibson on their ‘Hits & History Tour. #countrymusic #countrymusiclover #countryradio #musicrow
My guest today is author Jack Watts. Having written thirty-four books and screenplays, including nine biographies, six of them commissioned, he received his AB from Georgia State University, his MA in Church-State Studies from Baylor University, and all but his dissertation for a PhD from Emory University.
He has co-authored his newest book along with Tom David, Jr, AN AMERICAN HERO: ONE MAN’S LEGACY OF FATHERHOOD AND FAITH.
The book pays homage to Tom Davis’ father, “Jimmy” Davis, who overcame impossible odds as a child after being dumped at an orphanage by his degenerate father, who he never saw again.
Pulling himself up by the bootstraps, Jimmy got an education and then sneaked into the army underage—rising through the ranks to become a WWII decorated officer—fighting in The Battle of the Bulge. But there is so much more to the story.

My guest today Professor Alan Dershowitz, an American lawyer and law professor known for his work in U.S. constitutional and criminal law. From 1964 to 2013, he taught at Harvard Law School
Mr. Dershowitz has taken on high-profile and often unpopular causes and clients. As he has represented such celebrity clients as Mike Tyson, Patty Hearst, Leona Helmsley, Julian Assange, and Jim Bakker.
He is a regular media contributor, political commentator, and legal analyst.
He is here today to discuss his new book, The Preventive State: The Challenge of Preventing Serious Harms while Preserving Essential Liberties.
Ladies and gentlemen, if reliable but uncertain intelligence predicted a mass casualty terrorist attack and indicated likely suspects, what preventive actions would be constitutionally authorized? Detention? Interrogation? Torture?
What if the attack involved a weaponized virus? Should the government compel widespread inoculation that might kill hundreds of people while saving millions? What if an article describing how to circumvent the inoculation mandate was about to be published? Should censorship of the article be authorized?
These are the sorts of questions Professor Alan Dershowitz has been asking for more than 60 years, in his teaching, writing, and litigation.
In it, he suggests an overarching jurisprudential framework that would set limits to the ballooning power of what he calls “the preventive state.”
This important book offers unprecedented insights into one of the most under-examined developments of our age: the growing magnitude and frequency of cataclysmic threats, coupled with the increasingly effective—but increasingly intrusive—tools intended to predict and prevent them.
This masterful analysis should be read by everyone who cares about security, liberty, and democracy.

Dillon, who served in the United States Army Infantry and was deployed to Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom in 2011, wrote Why We Stand for his three sons—Liam, Maddox, and Asher.

Joe was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and since childhood he has loved the Philadelphia Phillies. According to him, “I live and die with the Phillies, no matter where they are in the standings. They have been playing great of late and that makes me happy!”
Now a Nashvillian for almost five decades, Joe is also a Tennessee Titans football fan. He has had season tickets since they arrived in Nashville in 1998.
Joe is an avid writer and songwriter and became a published children’s book author in 1997 with The Molly Books, a four-book series published by Ideal’s Children’s Books.
In 2003, New Leaf Press published G. I. Joe and Lillie: Remembering a Life of Love and Loyalty, an inspirational biography Joe penned about his parents. His song by the same name was included on the Oaks’ Colors album, released the same year. A music video of the song reemerged in the summer of 2009 and became a YouTube phenomenon with almost six million views.
Joe also wrote the title song for the Oaks’ The Journey album, as well as the text for The Oak Ridge Boys’ coffee table book, An American Journey, published in 2004. In 2014, New Leaf published Joe’s Christmas short story, An Inconvenient Christmas, which was inspired by an Oak Ridge Boys’ song from an album by the same name.
In September 2010, Journey Press, a division of Sheaf House, released From My Perspective, a collection of Joe’s commentaries, stories, and other writings. His book Christmas Miracles, a collection of Christmas short stories and commentaries, originally published in 2008, was updated in 2012.
His most recent book, On the Road with The Oak Ridge Boys, was published by Harvest House Publishers in May 2015. For relaxation, Joe retreats to his farm on the Tennessee-Kentucky state line, where he can often be found on his John Deere tractor mowing part of his 350-acres—or sitting on his front porch and playing banjo, an instrument he has played for more than a decade.
He plays a step-out lead on the Oaks’ Rock of Ages CD. Joe has been singing since he was about four years old and in his mid-teens fell in love with Southern Gospel music harmony. A born-again Christian, he is always quick to give God the credit for everything he has accomplished.
He joined the Oaks in 1973, just prior to the group’s emergence on the Country music scene. As with the other group members, much of Joe’s time has been spent on the road performing, but he found his own way to get the maximum possible enjoyment out of touring. “My life has been simple,” says the Oak who was the principal spokesman on stage for five decades. “I go out there and try to sing the best I can and give them physically and mentally everything I’ve got. When it’s done, I go back to my room or the bus, eat some pizza or sushi, call my Mary, get on my Apple laptop, do a little writing, and say to myself, ‘Hey, I’ve done what I’m supposed to be doing and I feel great about it.’” Joe and his wife, Mary, have two daughters, Jennifer, and Sabrina; two grandchildren, Breanne and Luke, who recently served in the U.S. Navy; and one great grandson, Noah Chance.
They also have four cats, Mitty, Crockett, Barney, and Maggie Mae. In early 2024, Joe announced his retirement from touring due to the onset of a neuromuscular disorder. He passed on to Glory on July 9, 2024, due to complications from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

When it comes to colloidal silver, the term “parts per million” (PPM) refers to its strength. A higher PPM is your advantage with atomic silver, whereas lower PPM limitations are ionic silver.
This blog will accurately clarify the ENTIRE colloidal silver PPM breakdown which include; 1) what PPM means, 2) how it relates to colloidal silver, 3) the two types of colloidal silver, 4) higher PPM and lower PPM difference, 5) small particle size, 6) why PPM matters in colloidal silver, 7) usage guideline and 8) why PPM matters.
Understanding PPM: The Role of Parts Per Million in Colloidal Silver
When searching PPM, many articles neglect one foremost major factor- the important distinction that there are two types of colloidal silver on the market: atomic and ionic. Understanding PPM related to each of these two specific silver types is paramount because PPM is essential for anyone pursuing colloidal silver for immune support or topical skin applications.*
What is PPM?
Parts per million is a unit of measurement that expresses the concentration of one substance in a million parts of another. In simpler terms, it’s a way to quantify how much of a particular substance is present in a solution. For example, a solution with a concentration of 1 PPM means that there is one part of the solute (in this case, silver) for every million parts of the solvent (purified water).
Colloidal Silver: What You Need to Know
Colloidal silver, in atomic form, is a natural elemental mineral consisting of tiny silver particles suspended in liquid. It’s been used globally for many generations as an effective immune support. Colloidal silver is safe to use as long as it’s from a reputable manufacturer that is independent lab certified and made in an FDA registered facility. Colloidal silver can be taken direct orally via dropper or spray bottles because it has virtually no taste. Others prefer mixing it in a favorite beverage. Whichever is your preference, colloidal silver liquid is generally recommended for ages 4 years and older.
Silver also has a long history of amazing topical skin usage. There is numerous worldwide literature about a variety of silver supporting skin health. Silver is also used for purification purposes.
Two Types of Colloidal Silver- Atomic & Ionic
Ionic colloidal silver is electrically processed and has a clear liquid appearance because it has only between 10 PPM to 30 PPM silver which is much weaker and thus requires many more doses leading to “dosing fatigue” and becomes more costly. Ionic formulas typically can NOT increase their PPM strength beyond 10 PPM to 20 PPM because particles would then clump together more quickly due to missing an electron and rendering it unstable and unsafe.
Atomic colloidal silver (recommended) is unadulterated and NOT electrically processed. It consists of full silver atoms and has an amber liquid color as nature intended. Due to its stability at higher concentrations, it’s safe to dose at higher parts per million (PPM) which gives you strong immune support. If you prefer lower PPM doses, atomic colloidal silver gives you the flexibility to simply take fewer doses which makes it much more economical on your wallet since the bottle will last you longer.
Ladies and gentlemen, are you tired of feeling overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life? Do you long for a sense of calm amidst the chaos?

Ladies and gentlemen, I have friends who lost sons and daughters to Fentanyl. The powerful and compelling film documentary, Fentanyl: Death Incorporated provides an
in-depth exploration of the Fentanyl crisis, the most dangerous drug ever created, which has become the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18-45.
Through interviews with international intelligence operatives, law enforcement officials, medical professionals, policymakers, and affected families, the film uncovers the unprecedented potency of Fentanyl, which is 100 times more powerful than morphine. It examines the swift escalation in overdose deaths—the fastest in U.S. history—and highlights the global and domestic supply chains contributing to the epidemic.
The documentary also addresses the failures of current harm reduction strategies, the need for robust treatment solutions, and the profound impact on families and communities. Fentanyl: Death Incorporated is a crucial viewing experience that seeks to raise awareness and drive action against one of the most pressing public health crises of our time.
When you see this film, you will see that America has the largest number of drug users, a lax court system and no system to encourage recovery or to protect our kids.
Every parent should be able to see their kids grow up, but many are left with a granite headstone, a name and two dates, because we are losing a war that goes beyond, “Just Say No to Drugs”.

Ladies and gentlemen, with honesty, tenderness and, yes, sometimes humor, the film Facing the Wind invites viewers into the lives of people with Lewy body dementia and their caregivers…real people in real time. FACING THE WIND, a sixty-minute documentary film, reveals how a mutual support community can be an antidote to despair, letting people know they are not alone. You will follow their journey, laughing and crying with them, while taking an unflinching look at dementia care with its overwhelming and isolating aspects. The struggle is real, but so is the love.
Ladies and gentlemen, Lewy body dementia is not a rare disease. It affects more than 1.4 million people in America. It is the second most common form of dementia, but it still being misdiagnosed.
Alzheimer’s disease is the gradual decline of memory as Lewy body dementia is the roller coaster ride with ups and downs. One moment the patient can be fully present and lucid and the next be completely lost or deal with hallucinations from mild to severe.
There is no cure, but this very powerful film documentary is not for those suffering with Lewy body dementia, but for the people who care for them. Many spouses and family members are thrust into being a caregiver and navigating the vast ocean of the unknown.
FACING THE WIND is a starting place for caregivers and to know that it’s ok to not be ok. Head over to LewyBodyResourceCenter.org for more information. If your loved one was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia, you are not alone and there are resources right now that can help you.

My guest today is the founder and executive director of the Lewy body Resource Center.
Norma’s knowledge and experience with Lewy body dementia began with the personal care of her mother, Lillian, who had LBD for many years.
Norma has been facilitating the only New York Metro area LBD caregivers support groups since 2008. She also leads a national group for people living with LBD which has been lauded.
She served on the board of directors of the Lewy Body Dementia Association for three years before launching the LBD Resource Center in 2016 to provide much needed support and resources on more personal and connective levels.
Norma worked as executive assistant to the CFO at The New York Times Company for over 20 years. While there, she served as chairperson of the work/life committee of The New York Times’ women’s affinity group and initiated and ran their eldercare support group.
Her expertise working with the top executives at The Times, as well as her managerial experience as executive director and a co-founder of What BETTER Looks Like, a nonprofit organization which partners with communities to help individuals imagine, articulate, and create visions for a better world, has prepared her to lead the LBD Resource Center which is very dear to her heart.
Ladies and gentlemen, Lewy body dementia (LBD) is the second most common form of progressive dementia, affecting more than 1.4 million Americans. Because LBD comes with a host of physical, cognitive and behavioral symptoms, it often mimics Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease or a psychiatric disorder.
As a result, it is widely misdiagnosed. Even as diagnoses increase, resources for people with LBD and their families still remain extremely limited. Citing this lack of resources and assistance, the Lewy Body Dementia Resource Center was founded to provide much needed services and support for people with LBD and their loved ones.
Go to LewybodyResourceCenter.org or LDBNY.org for more information.

My guests today are southern rock icons Van Zant who have reunited and returned to the studio for what will be their first new album in nearly two decades. The new album ALWAYS LOOK UP will also mark the duo’s first foray into Christian music, while holding firm to their southern rock roots.
The Van Zant musical dynasty built its foundation firmly on family. Donnie Van Zant co-founded .38 Special and brother Johnny Van Zant is the current lead vocalist for Lynyrd Skynyrd after the passing of their brother Ronnie Van Zant, who fronted and co-founded the iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Fame rock band.
But throughout their four decades of climbing the southern rock and country charts together and separately, faith has stayed just as important of a factor in the equation, so much so that the guys decided to finally share their inspirational side with the upcoming new album.
So from southern rock to standing on the rock, let’s welcome southern rock royalty Donnie and Johnny Van Zant of VAN ZANT and their new album ALWAYS LOOK UP to the show!

His newest album, MEMOIR is a stunning collection of 11 tracks, a mixture of moods, beautifully and elegantly played with his frequent trio partners, stellar musicians Alan Mednard, and Ben Allison.
His newest album release is especially noteworthy because it is miraculous he is alive after a brutal battle with a misdiagnosed form of cancer that had him at death's door. But he’s back making incredible music!

After releasing a pair of early albums, he got married, and became a father, and while he eventually returned to the business he’d founded, he remained as dedicated as ever to his craft. In 2014, he recorded his third album, Two Truths and a Lie, which introduced him to Avatar Studios (a New York landmark previously known as The Power Station, where icons like Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, David Bowie and Bob Dylan had recorded).
Upon learning the studio was under threat of being sold, Pete Muller decided to use his resources in partnership with the City of New York and the Berklee College of Music to save, renovate, and re-launch the space as a world-class recording and educational facility. He would go on to record his next two albums—2019’s Dissolve and 2022’s Spaces—there, launching a whole new chapter of his career that would find him sharing bills with artists like Joan Osborne, Jimmy Webb, Livingston Tayler, and Paul Thorn in addition to landing festival slots everywhere from Telluride to Montreux.

My guest today is Jeff Allen who has been a working comedian for five decades, and his work has been featured on America’s Got Talent, Dry Bar Comedy, HBO, Comedy Central, and even on TBN and CBN.
He can be heard regularly on SiriusXM’s comedy channels, as well as Pandora and Spotify. His videos have surpassed 400 million views on Facebook, YouTube and other digital media. Many of you may have seen him perform at some of the Gaither’s Praise Gatherings too.
With his new book and his tour ARE WE THERE YET?, Jeff Allen drives home the humor of everyday family life, the ups and downs of marriage, the challenge of raising children, the bliss of the empty nest, and the joys of being a grandparent.
Ladies and gentlemen, for years, one of the funniest men in America was crying on the inside, Jeff Allen was a comedian with the lead role in a tragedy.
Jeff fell into substance abuse at an early age, and his problems didn’t magically go away when he got married. In fact, with the arrival of two children, they intensified. The sense that his life was meaningless made his family life as dark and biting as his comedy.
But in his darkest moment, an unlikely encounter with the gloomiest book of the Bible set him on the path to salvation. The line of Ecclesiastes, “Meaningless, meaningless, all in life is meaningless” - resonated with him.
So he kept reading, and soon found that Jesus wasn’t a religion, but He was Savior who loved him right where he was at. And many times that’s at the bottom so the only direction you can look is up.
If you have struggled to find meaning in your life, this book is for you.
With his trademark humor and unflinching honesty, Jeff will point you to the only One who can answer the question, “Are we there yet?”
So I end with one of the most famous prayers ever written.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

This intoxicating mix of rock, blues and romantic balladry brims with messages of unconditional love and anti-war – and the effortlessly rich voice of this singular talent.
"Whiskey Blues" is a modern blues-rock classic featuring a thrilling blend of Hammond organ, gospel-blues chorus, blues guitar licks, and Eduard's distinctive bass voice. His style is reminiscent of blues legends such as Muddy Waters and Stevie Ray Vaughan, and the song has already garnered positive reviews from music critics.

Melissa Huray has dedicated the last two decades to helping people with addictions find freedom.
Radically delivered by the Lord Jesus 20 years ago, she is a masters level addiction counselor with degrees in communications and exercise physiology. Her many writings have appeared in local magazines, Steve Bannon’s War Room forum, and in Charisma Media publications. She is also the executive director for the Lindell Recovery Network.
Prior to entering the field of addiction recovery, Melissa was an on-air radio personality and Emmy award winning news reporter and anchor.
But at the time, she was a television news reporter by day, blackout drunk by night – no one suspected that capable and competent Melissa Huray needed alcohol to survive. In spite of her public persona, the squeaky clean girl from small-town Minnesota spent years carousing seedy bars – shockingly drunk with no hope of remembering anything the next day.
With surprising candor and raw emotion, her new book, Blackout to Blessing – How the Perfect Love of Jesus Saved Me From the Highway to Hell invites the reader into Melissa’s journey through childhood dysfunction, the fleeting relief of alcohol and empty relationships, and the dreadful daily grind familiar to the functional addict.

Author Joel Selvin, a San Francisco Chronicle pop music critic for thirty-six years, is author of more than twenty books about pop music, including the definitive account of the Rolling Stones free concert at Altamont and the biography of songwriter Bert Berns that paved his way into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as well as the No. 1 New York Times best-seller, Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock with Sammy Hagar.
Ladies and gentlemen, the subject of Joel Selvin’s latest book was raised in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles and got his start as a professional drummer touring with the Everly Brothers in the mid-1960s.
Jim Gordon’s penchant for creative and astonishingly accurate musicianship earned him regular session work, joining the community retroactively referred to as The Wrecking Crew.
His supernatural intuition and perfect sense of time can be heard on more than 30 Top 10 singles including several #1 hits, such as the Beach Boys’ “Good Vibrations,” Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain” and “I Got You Babe” by Sonny & Cher (he also supplied the literal beat for “The Beat Goes On” by the latter).
He has been immortalized on albums by George Harrison, John Lennon and the Byrds, among dozens of other household name music acts.
Gordon was notably the drummer for Derek and the Dominos and provided the piano coda for their evergreen anthem “Layla.”
Joel Selvin details how Gordon didn’t merely keep time, but he was also instrumental in shaping compositions; whether it was his Latin-influenced rhythms on “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number” by Steely Dan or his monumental drum break on the Incredible Bongo Band’s “Apache” (a staple of hip-hop from the genre’s inception, having been sampled on over 750 other records), he wasn’t just a player on hits, he made them hits.
If you love music history, then Drums & Demons: The Tragic Journey of Jim Gordon is a must read. Joel Selvin’s power of the pen makes live every page of Jim Gordon’s life and you learn in the midst of brilliant musicianship, the darkness of mental health issues like paranoid schizophrenia.

Grammy winner John McEuen will release his new album, The Newsman, on April 12 on Compass Records. An unprecedented move for McEuen, the album is 10 spoken word tracks (and one instrumental), all mini-movies, with John’s unique style of music behind each. From the opening title track, a true story about a man who sold newspapers and was a tremendous influence on the young musician in Los Angeles, to the final cut, “Julie’s Theme,” inspired by Julies Verne telling a friend, in a French cemetery, about his recently deceased young wife, McEuen presents an album filled with stories that will inspire and perhaps bring a tear to your eye.
The different tracks on the album range from “Killed at the Ford,” a Civil War-era poem that tells of the death of a young soldier as he and friends go to meet a picket-guard by a ford, not expecting trouble. A shot is fired from the woods, and the young man is dead. Poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow doesn’t end the poem there, but relates how it affects the young man’s family at home. “The Cremation of Sam McGee,” one of the most famous poems written by Robert Service, was published in 1907, told from the perspective of the man who cremates the prospector who died in the Yukon, while searching for gold. The Stephen Vincent Benét poem “The Mountain Whippoorwill” (published in 1925). “FlyTrouble” is a Hank Williams Sr. classic from 1949, and one of “talking blues”numbers that McEuen has recited many times over the past years.“OldRivers” was released by Walter Brennann1963, Thomas Monroe wrote “Nui Ba Den” while he was in Vietnam in 1968.More recent writings are “Pineapple John” by John Carter Cash, Hans Olson’s“I’ll Be Glad When I Run Out Of Gas” and Thaddeus Bryant’s “Red Clay.”
This album is a soundtrack for films not yet made.” McEuen says that watching the Tom Hanks film News of the World made him finish this album. “I feel like that character, having to read the news to people who have not yet heard it. And, my first ‘song’, the title cut, was about that type of fellow, in a way, and his story had to be told.I find in this final year of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, this album comes in a good space.That was a great 50-year run for me, and now that it has run its course, it’s time for The Newsman. I look forward to going out and telling people about those 50 years that impacted so many, especially me, playing some new music, and throwing a few of these stories in along the way.” McEuen believes these spoken word offerings can fit on radio. “It is my suggestion to add one of these cuts in between other music you are playing, finding styles that fit each – as they are each different. Listening to from top to bottom is a lot to ask of anyone! I look forward to seeing what people program with various cuts.”

For patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, no memories are safe — from the recollections of daily responsibilities to our most cherished moments. And despite having invested billions of dollars over the last 30 years into Alzheimer’s research, the pharmaceutical industry has approved few drugs, all of which are very expensive, and only slow the rate of decline.
However, some Alzheimer’s patients, refusing to accept this prognosis, are turning to a new method, spearheaded by American neurologist Dr Dale Bredesen. This precision medicine approach uses the expanded health data of each patient to find the root cause of their illness, and generate personalized protocols.
Yet Dr. Bredesen, best-selling author of The End of Alzheimer’s, faces constant skepticism from the mainstream medical community for his method, and his research was repeatedly denied approval for clinical trials until 2019. Even so, many patients following the protocol show signs of reversing their cognitive decline.
Narrated by Michael Bublé, Memories for Life – Reversing Alzheimer’s shows the eye-opening results of this life-changing treatment and questions why something with the potential to reverse such a devastating disease is not being embraced by medical researchers. What if this is the best chance we have to hold on to the most precious of things – our memories?
Go to MemoriesForLifeFilm.com and watch the best film on fighting dementia. We all need to start making lifestyle changes. To save your memories, you must start saving your memory.

Victoria Jackson grew up in a Bible-believing, piano-playing, TV-free home in Miami.
When Johnny Crawford (The Rifleman) met her at a Birmingham summer stock production, he bought her a one-way ticket to Hollywood to be in his night club act. For two years, she held odd jobs in the show-biz capital — as a cigarette girl, waitress, and typist — until Johnny Carson noticed her stand-up routine and put her on The Tonight Show… twenty times.
After that, she starred in many movies and TV shows, most notably six seasons on Saturday Night Live.
Victoria still appears in films, does stand-up comedy, sings her original ukulele songs.
She recently released her first music-comedy album, When I Get to Nashville, playing her signature ukulele paired with her instantly-recognizable high-pitched voice, Victoria works her way through “When I Get to Nashville,” with 18 hilarious songs (plus some stand up) about landing in Music City - where she’s determined to find her way to the Grand Ole Opry stage.
The album also features a cameo from fellow-SNL star Rob Schneider.

She will forever be the hottest video vixen ever to appear on MTV thanks to the band Warrant’s Cherry Pie music video. Every girl wanted to be her, but every guy wanted her. Bobbie Brown once took ownership of the Sunset Strip as her own personal playground. When instant stardom hit, she continued to get lost in a world of rocker boys, drugs and the never-ending partying lifestyle that Hollywood was known for. She spent decades trapped in a perpetual cycle of self-destruction, a chronic self-saboteur who stumbled and struggled her way through an endless parade of bad habits, bad relationships, and bad decisions—to find herself, at last, on the righteous path far from the Sunset Strip. If you think you know who Bobbie Brown is by reading the pages of her books Dirty Rocker Boys and Cherry on Top, you aren’t even close. A new book is being written and the ink isn’t even dry yet, because there is more life to be lived. This time with a guiding hand. She’s come full circle and face-to-face with an amazing grace that can only be described as miraculous. Today, she is here to tell the rest of her story. .

Jeff Carson’s last album, 448 is a 9-track, never-to-be-completed swan song by a man who lived a praiseworthy life. Lauded by both the Academy of Country Music and the Police Academy, in 2009, after charting 14 singles, including mid-‘90s Billboard-topping “Not On Your Love” and Top-5 father-son anthem “The Car,” Jeff Carson walked away from the music industry completely, and for all the right reasons–to pursue a career in law enforcement, focus on family, and be a strong role model and dad to his son Dayton. He would serve the Franklin, Tenn. Police Department for 14 years with accommodation. After a 22-year absence from the music scene, but with the recent resurgence of ‘90s country music in the mainstream, Jeff Carson was encouraged to return to the studio to re-record an album of his greatest hits. Tragically, before the album was completed, on March 26, 2022, after returning from a day shift at the police department, Carson suffered a sudden heart attack and passed away. With us today is Jeff’s wife, Kim Carson to share with us the memories of Jeff Carson, his music and his last album 448. .

Growing up, Lauren always thought of herself as unathletic, but in her late 20s, she would be at her local gym every day by 5am, creating a consistent habit.

Sandra Lee, CEO of NJ Labs, and host of the “Going Beyond Testing” podcast, there are other types of testing kits we should get familiar with this spring and summer. One important test kit to have on hand is a tick collection testing, especially during tick season (April-October). Lyme disease is a year-long problem, but most people are infected during the height of tick season.
Lee will share with us how to properly extract a tick (so you do not accidentally spread the disease in your own bloodstream); how to safely collect and send the tick to a lab for identification and DNA-based method testing in order to identify the species and determine if it is carrying a tick-borne pathogen that could cause disease.
If Lyme disease is identified early enough, it can be successfully treated under a doctor’s supervision. Lee says the step that most people skip after being bit is immediately collecting and sending the tick to a lab for testing. If this step is skipped, a doctor or veterinarian may have a more difficult time with the diagnosis. Although Lyme disease is the most well-known tick-borne pathogen, there are actually seven known species of ticks that bite and spread disease in the United States.

Fill your wellness bank in the first 90 minutes of the day.
There’s a lot of talk about what you should do for your health. How about a wellness routine that actually works?
Sophie Ulliano recommends four parts of a wellness foundation.
- Mindfulness. Start each day with meditation or prayer. Offer up an intention for the day.
- Nutrition. Eat a diet that is primarily plant-based. Morning smoothies are a great way to consume many plants at once.
- Fitness. Get 40 to 60 minutes of moderate to intense exercise every day.
- Self-care. It’s easy to put yourself last. Take leisure time to care for yourself.
Don’t set yourself up to fail by overwhelming yourself. Reframe the changes so you think about wellness like a bank account with these four parts. Put small yet equal amounts of attention into your wellness account every day. You may not want to do these things every day but your body will thank you.
Listen as Sophie joins Dr. Bond in this encore episode from 05/09/2018 to share how you can fill your wellness bank in the first 90 minutes of your day.

Choosing the right kind of garlic supplement makes all the difference in potential odor concerns and other undesirable side effects.Garlic has been used for medical purposes for thousands of years, but it's only been in the last few decades that it has been studied for its healing properties.
Choosing the right kind of garlic supplement makes all the difference in potential odor concerns and other undesirable side effects. Even though some products may claim to be "deodorized," the garlic odor is just masked by chemical or sugar coatings. When the capsules or tablets dissolve, garlic body odor results.

If just one person in your household comes down with the flu, it can just take a few hours for it to spread to everyone.Can you believe it’s already time to prepare for another flu season?
It feels like we just wrapped up the last one, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says it’s time to prepare for the 2018-2019 flu season now, especially coming off of a horrible season that killed more children than any other non-pandemic year on record.
Dr. Bond's guest, Dr. Ken Redcross, board-certified internal medicine physician and author of Bond: The 4 Cornerstones of a Lasting and Caring Relationship with Your Doctor, says if just one person in your household comes down with the flu, it can just take a few hours for it to spread to everyone. In fact, it only takes one sick person’s cough to spread 2,000 virus-laden droplets into the air.
Having a strong immune system is key to protection and keeping it clean from the inside out, including your environmental surroundings, can make the difference in whether or not you will catch flu.

Taking shortcuts in the OTC aisle can be a health hazard.Over-the-counter drugs are an easy way to self-medicate when you need fast relief from some of life’s most common health obstacles.
Research shows that 81 percent of adults use OTC medicines as a first response to minor ailments and seven in ten parents have given their children OTC medicines late at night to help aid sudden medical symptoms according to Consumer Healthcare Products Association.
However taking shortcuts in the OTC aisle can be a health hazard.
The perceived safety net vibe OTC medications emit by being readily accessible to anyone on a store shelf without a prescription is the reason why many people tend to overuse them for a wide range of ailments including cold and flu, pain, fever, heartburn, allergies and insomnia.
With more than 300,000 OTC products on the market, the mistakes that can be made are high and so are the stakes for your health if misuse happens frequently.
Dr. Amy Shah, a double-board certified physician in internal medicine and allergy immunology, says the main problem with OTC medications is that most people do not take the time to thoroughly read the ingredient labels or strictly follow directions. Over-medicating with OTC’s, especially over long periods of time, can be particularly dangerous.
Listen as Dr. Shah joins Dr. Bond to discuss the medication mistakes you don't want to make.
Many of us are caught up in a vicious cycle of stimulation with caffeine and sugar and sedation with drugs and alcohol. How can it be broken?More than 80% of the patients Dr. Elson Haas treats are using caffeine and sugar as energy stimulants in the day and/or alcohol and other substances at night to calm and rest.
When we don’t do that in balance, we disrupt our natural energy flow and get into a vicious cycle of needing to stimulate our body every day, to whip it into action, and then slow it down in the evening.
Dr. Haas has named this the Stimulation-Sedation Cycle.
Listen as he joins Dr. Bond to discuss the long-term health hazards that can happen if we keep stimulating and sedating ourselves in this manner, as well as simple steps to overcome this vicious cycle.

Learn how to use anger and frustration for good, instead of letting it take hold of you in a negative way.People are angry a lot these days. Whether it's based in political views or unfair treatment in the workplace, anger is a common occurrence.
According to Joël Malm, counselor, communicator, and pastor, anger is a secondary emotion. It is actually a response to the threat of one of three basic needs: safety and security, connection with others, and empowerment. Anger is the response we emit to try to regain control and to overcome resulting feelings of abandonment, rejection, and humiliation.
More than a mental state, anger can also have severe physical impacts -- particularly if you've held on to it for a lengthy period of time. Sleep issues, high blood pressure, depression, and inflammation are physical effects that can manifest due to chronic, unreleased anger.
In his book, Fully You: Unlocking the Power of All You Really Are, Malm provides tips on how to use anger, frustration and resentment for good, instead of letting it take hold of you in a negative way.
Listen as Malm joins Dr. Bond to discuss anger's detrimental effects and how you can turn it around.
Oftentimes advertised to promote brain health, omega-3s are also very important for aiding heart health.Nutrition plays an integral role in overall health and wellness. While that seems like a no-brainer, many individuals don't know what kind of nutrition is required for optimal health.
Omega-3s are one of those key nutrients. Oftentimes advertised to promote brain health, omega-3s are also very important for aiding heart health.
In fact, in 2002, the American Heart Association recognized the importance of eating fish twice a week for those without heart disease and recommends at least one gram of EPA+DHA for those with established coronary artery disease. Since then, additional research has shown that omega-3s may help you maintain healthy blood pressure, support healthy triglyceride levels, and manage your risk of heart disease.
According to Jolie Root, Senior Nutritionist and Educator for Carlson Laboratories, omega-3s are also key in helping manage heart arrhythmia.
Root joins Dr. Bond to explain why omega-3s are so essential for overall health, how they contribute to heart health, and what dosage is needed to realize those benefits.

In fact, Dr. Anthony Youn, a board-certified plastic surgeon, wants people to view surgical intervention as a last option.
Dr. Youn believes a more holistic strategy can be just as effective. He has spent the past 16 years researching the secrets of plastic surgeons, dermatologists, makeup artists, and dietitians in order to discover what works, what doesn’t, and what’s overpriced.

Learn how to use anger and frustration for good, instead of letting it take hold of you in a negative way.People are angry a lot these days. Whether it's based in political views or unfair treatment in the workplace, anger is a common occurrence.
According to Joël Malm, counselor, communicator, and pastor, anger is a secondary emotion. It is actually a response to the threat of one of three basic needs: safety and security, connection with others, and empowerment. Anger is the response we emit to try to regain control and to overcome resulting feelings of abandonment, rejection, and humiliation.
More than a mental state, anger can also have severe physical impacts -- particularly if you've held on to it for a lengthy period of time. Sleep issues, high blood pressure, depression, and inflammation are physical effects that can manifest due to chronic, unreleased anger.
In his book, Fully You: Unlocking the Power of All You Really Are, Malm provides tips on how to use anger, frustration and resentment for good, instead of letting it take hold of you in a negative way.
Listen as Malm joins Dr. Bond to discuss anger's detrimental effects and how you can turn it around.

Self injury deaths (overdose and suicide) are higher in Americans than those caused by diabetes. Suicide rates are climbing.
Suicide is complex and rarely has just one contributing factor. Financial trouble, illness, relationship difficulty and substance abuse play a role. Social media may be a factor among younger people, leading them to feel isolated and depressed.
Red Flags
- Expressing feelings of hopelessness or isolation
- Extreme mood swings
- Worrying about being a burden to others
- Changes in sleep habits
- Substance abuse
The red flags may be subtle and may not all be present. Keep communication open with the person who is enduring some trouble.
Listen as George joins Dr. Bond to discuss the latest findings on suicide and how to help when a friend may be in need.

Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum discusses how fibromyalgia can be addressed effectively by optimizing the hormones in the body.According to the National Fibromyalgia Association, fibromyalgia is one of the most common chronic pain conditions.
The disorder affects an estimated 10 million people in the U.S. and an estimated 3-6 percent of the world population. While it is most prevalent in women (75-90 percent of the people who have fibromyalgia are women), it also occurs in men and children of all ethnic groups.
According to long-standing research and his personal work with treating chronic pain, Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum says fibromyalgia can be addressed effectively by optimizing the hormones in the body; particularly the "sex" hormones of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. By doing this, you restore the body's energy production capabilities.
Dr. Teitelbaum warns that physicians should treat individuals uniquely, based on symptoms -- not necessarily on what blood work shows hormone levels to be.
Listen in as Dr. Teitelbaum joins Dr. Bond to share more about this approach to treating fibromyalgia, as well as his S.H.I.N.E. protocol.

Contradicting health headlines and commentary-filled social media feeds bombard expectant mothers with fears and concerns they may have never considered.
Dr. Kecia Gaither says as more information and studies are published, old theories are being discredited and giving way to new practices.
For example, the notion that "a little wine is fine" should be discredited. Alcohol use is the leading preventable cause of birth defects. Mothers should abstain from imbibing while breastfeeding as well.
In regards to "breast is best," Dr. Gaither agrees. Breast milk contains properties that provide boosted immunity in the baby. If a mother is unable to breastfeed, for whatever reason, formula will still provide the appropriate nutrients for the baby to thrive.

Learn how you can heal yourself by reducing your toxic exposure.Beth Greer thought she was living a fully healthy lifestyle, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising, eating (mostly) right, meditation... all of the things we're told to do to preserve health and promote longevity.
So, when she was diagnosed as having a large tumor in her chest, she was taken aback.
Multiple surgeons advised an invasive surgical procedure to remove the tumor. The tumor was benign, but was causing her debilitating pain.
Instead of going the surgery route, Beth took a hard look at the food she was eating, the personal products she was using, and other toxins she was exposed to. After a complete "detox," scans showed that the tumor had disappeared. Beth kept up with this clean lifestyle, and encouraged her family to do the same.
In her book, Super Natural Home: Improve Your Health, Home, and Planet--One Room at a Time, Beth reveals the alarming extent of the dangerous chemicals we unwittingly expose ourselves to every day.

Listen as Beth joins Dr. Bond to discuss the steps you can take right away to change the amount of toxins you put into your body -- and realize better health in the process.

Dr. Anthony Youn, a board-certified plastic surgeon, wants people to view youth-preserving surgical intervention as a last option.As you age, you might consider options for preserving your youthful appearance. Fortunately, there are many approaches you can take other than going "under the knife."
In fact, Dr. Anthony Youn, a board-certified plastic surgeon, wants people to view surgical intervention as a last option.
Dr. Youn believes a more holistic strategy can be just as effective. He has spent the past 16 years researching the secrets of plastic surgeons, dermatologists, makeup artists, and dietitians in order to discover what works, what doesn’t, and what’s overpriced.

Oftentimes advertised to promote brain health, omega-3s are also very important for aiding heart health.Nutrition plays an integral role in overall health and wellness. While that seems like a no-brainer, many individuals don't know what kind of nutrition is required for optimal health.
Omega-3s are one of those key nutrients. Oftentimes advertised to promote brain health, omega-3s are also very important for aiding heart health.
In fact, in 2002, the American Heart Association recognized the importance of eating fish twice a week for those without heart disease and recommends at least one gram of EPA+DHA for those with established coronary artery disease. Since then, additional research has shown that omega-3s may help you maintain healthy blood pressure, support healthy triglyceride levels, and manage your risk of heart disease.
According to Jolie Root, Senior Nutritionist and Educator for Carlson Laboratories, omega-3s are also key in helping manage heart arrhythmia.
Root joins Dr. Bond to explain why omega-3s are so essential for overall health, how they contribute to heart health, and what dosage is needed to realize those benefits.

How can it be broken?More than 80% of the patients Dr. Elson Haas treats are using caffeine and sugar as energy stimulants in the day and/or alcohol and other substances at night to calm and rest.

Taking shortcuts in the OTC aisle can be a health hazard.Over-the-counter drugs are an easy way to self-medicate when you need fast relief from some of life’s most common health obstacles.
Research shows that 81 percent of adults use OTC medicines as a first response to minor ailments and seven in ten parents have given their children OTC medicines late at night to help aid sudden medical symptoms according to Consumer Healthcare Products Association.
However taking shortcuts in the OTC aisle can be a health hazard.
The perceived safety net vibe OTC medications emit by being readily accessible to anyone on a store shelf without a prescription is the reason why many people tend to overuse them for a wide range of ailments including cold and flu, pain, fever, heartburn, allergies and insomnia.
With more than 300,000 OTC products on the market, the mistakes that can be made are high and so are the stakes for your health if misuse happens frequently.
Dr. Amy Shah, a double-board certified physician in internal medicine and allergy immunology, says the main problem with OTC medications is that most people do not take the time to thoroughly read the ingredient labels or strictly follow directions. Over-medicating with OTC’s, especially over long periods of time, can be particularly dangerous.
Listen as Dr. Shah joins Dr. Bond to discuss the medication mistakes you don't want to make.
After a drug overdose, many demoralizing nights, and mornings where he couldn’t get out of bed without a prescription in hand, Darren Prince hit bottom. Learn how far he's come from.When Darren Prince was just 14 years old, he started what would become a multi-million dollar baseball card company.
By the time he was 25, he was doing deals with Magic Johnson, Pamela Anderson, Smokin’ Joe Frazier, Chevy Chase, and Muhammad Ali. A few years later, he launched his own marketing company, representing the biggest names in the world... while at the same time nearly dying from drug addiction.

Now, he's helping others overcome their addictions and has become an incredible influence. On October 24, 2018 Darren was one of 225 invited guests to the White House for the historic signing by President Trump of the six billion dollar bill to help fight the opiate epidemic.
Listen as Darren joins Dr. Bond to discuss his personal journey through addiction and how his efforts are making vast improvements in others' lives.
It's harder to be a kid than ever before. In fact, one in eight kids suffer from some sort of anxiety.Kids are like little sponges. They soak up the environments around them, even if they don't realize what they're taking in.
In some cases, this is good. Modeling proper behavior for your children will help them to be happy, healthy, well-adjusted adults.
However, that's not always possible. We all have stress in our lives and sometimes it's just too much to take. As parents, you may unintentionally express relationship, money or career troubles -- which your kids pick up on. Mark Menolascino, MD, says they may absorb tension even if it's not outwardly revealed.
It's important to pay attention to any clues your little ones are giving you, especially if they're too young to inform you what they're feeling. Symptoms such as headaches, stomachaches, dizziness, a racing heart, trouble sleeping, changes in school grades or disrupted friendships are all indications that something is off.
Dr. Menolascino advises avoiding prescription medication when possible and trying other remedies first. For example, take a hard look at your lifestyle. Do you need to pump the brakes? Parents and kids alike are over-scheduled. What is one thing you can take off your collective plates to reduce stress? Also, eat meals together as much as you can and focus on positive conversation.
Another tip is to watch your exposure (and your kids' exposure) to the news and social media. It's okay for them to be informed, but turning on the news first thing in the morning can be detrimental. Instead, wake up and reflect on something you're thankful for -- and encourage your kids to do the same. Even the smallest moments provide those essential "warm fuzzies."
Getting more movement into your day also eases anxiety and stress. We all know the simple things like parking farther away from the store doors or taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Find other ways, like taking a dance break. Dr. Menolascino explains that exercise has beat out medication in many clinical trials when it comes to anxiety and depression.
Listen as Dr. Menolascino joins Dr. Bond to discuss how stress and anxiety is impacting your little ones and how you can address the problem before it gets out of control.

Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum discusses how fibromyalgia can be addressed effectively by optimizing the hormones in the body.According to the National Fibromyalgia Association, fibromyalgia is one of the most common chronic pain conditions.
The disorder affects an estimated 10 million people in the U.S. and an estimated 3-6 percent of the world population. While it is most prevalent in women (75-90 percent of the people who have fibromyalgia are women), it also occurs in men and children of all ethnic groups.
According to long-standing research and his personal work with treating chronic pain, Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum says fibromyalgia can be addressed effectively by optimizing the hormones in the body; particularly the "sex" hormones of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.

If just one person in your household comes down with the flu, it can just take a few hours for it to spread to everyone.Can you believe it’s already time to prepare for another flu season?
It feels like we just wrapped up the last one, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says it’s time to prepare for the 2018-2019 flu season now, especially coming off of a horrible season that killed more children than any other non-pandemic year on record.
Dr. Bond's guest, Dr. Ken Redcross, board-certified internal medicine physician and author of Bond: The 4 Cornerstones of a Lasting and Caring Relationship with Your Doctor, says if just one person in your household comes down with the flu, it can just take a few hours for it to spread to everyone. In fact, it only takes one sick person’s cough to spread 2,000 virus-laden droplets into the air.
Having a strong immune system is key to protection and keeping it clean from the inside out, including your environmental surroundings, can make the difference in whether or not you will catch flu.
Dr. Redcross joins Dr. Bond to explain how tackling influenza room-by-room in your home can keep those unwanted house guests (aka: germs) from invading your space and thus lower your chances of getting sick this season.
He also provides tips on what you can do to prevent the flu in the kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedroom (e.g. flu-fighting foods, natural disinfectant and antibacterial wipes, one-use paper towels and bedding).
Would Sparky benefit from some cannabis?Dr. Carol Osborne sees cannabis products being used for pets just as they are used for humans. It can stimulate or numb receptors for different situations.
Dr. Osborne notes that cannabis isn’t approved for animal use by a veterinary authority, but that doesn’t stop holistic practitioners and pet parents from using CBD products on their pets.
Since the products aren’t regulated, there’s no telling what exactly is in the vial, capsule or biscuit. Trying multiple brands may be necessary to get the desired result in your pet. The concentration may vary.
While there are no published studies of cannabis killing a pet, Dr. Osborne suggests starting with a very low dose and increasing the dosage in small increments.
Listen as Dr. Osborn joins Dr. Bond to discuss the ins and outs of cannabis for canines and kitties.

The most important thing is to stay hydrated, especially when you’re flying. Reduce cramping, fatigue and jet lag by drinking plenty of water. Get bottled water because the water in your hotel room may leave you bloated.
Take vegetable packets so you’re not caught without something you can consume. Rich meals may not contain the veggies your body needs.
Get in some fitness. Pack your sneakers and walk everywhere you can.
Bring snacks that are good for you. Save money and ease up on calorie-rich breakfasts by eating your own snacks. Skip liquid-based nourishment so you can bring it on the plane.
Combat jet lag with a few simple steps. Set your watch to your destination before your flight leaves. Wind down and try to sleep on the plane. A sleep mask and earplugs may assist your rest. Stay up as late as you can after arrival to acclimate to the new time zone.
Listen as Carolyn joins Dr. Bond to prepare you for your next adventure.

Self injury deaths (overdose and suicide) are higher in Americans than those caused by diabetes. Suicide rates are climbing.

Red Flags
- Expressing feelings of hopelessness or isolation
- Extreme mood swings
- Worrying about being a burden to others
- Changes in sleep habits
- Substance abuse
The red flags may be subtle and may not all be present. Keep communication open with the person who is enduring some trouble.

Eliminate blue light in your bedroom and improve your sleep.Sleep expert Dr. Michael Breus knows that better sleep occurs when your bedroom isn’t a “blue light” special.
In this case, blue light is in the 450 to 480 nanometer range of frequency. Lightbulbs have some degree of blue light frequency. Devices emit blue light without software that adjusts the frequency.
Blue light can turn off the melatonin faucet in the brain. Melatonin is your body’s natural sleep aid. This is especially challenging with teens, whose circadian rhythm already wants to stay up late.
Dr. Breus recommends F.lux free software for your laptop to change your color temperature at night. The nightshift setting on your phone just reduces the brightness, not the blue light. Lutein and zeaxanthin supplements support macular health to lessen the effects of blue light.
Listen as Dr. Breus joins Dr. Bond to share tips on reducing blue light and getting a better night’s sleep.

Freddy Fender rose from poverty to musical success, battled addiction, and found peace through religion.Fame can be amazing. However, many famous people get caught in the trappings of addiction.
Tammy Lorraine Huerta Fender tells the gospel truth about her father, Freddy Fender. Known as the King of Tex-Mex, Freddy wanted the whole truth of his life to be honestly shared.
Freddy was a Mexican-American singer who rose from the depths of poverty, breaking free from a life spent picking cotton and rising to a life spent picking guitar. In his youth, in 1956, he was the first to record and sing Spanish rock and roll; he was known as the “Mexican Elvis” and called “El Bebop Kid.” In the mid-1970s, Fender would become famous literally overnight as a rock ‘n’ country megastar with his first two monster hits “Before the Next Teardrop Falls” and “Wasted Days and Wasted Nights.”
Instantaneously, his records crossed over the Billboard country charts into the rock and pop charts, each rising to No. 1. He was given a Country Music Association award for “Single of the Year” and an Academy of Country Music award as “Most Promising Male Artist” in 1975. His voice and charismatic personality also made him a nationwide television celebrity in the ‘70s and ‘80s.
During his last 21 years of sobriety, Freddy sought spiritual redemption, practiced forgiveness and made amends in his daily life; he came to lead by example with the aid of his higher power Jesus Christ. Freddy Fender was known to millions of people across the world as “an ordinary man who had extraordinary God-given talents.”

One thing you can control during cancer treatment is your nutrition.There are so many uncontrollable elements when one undergoes cancer treatment.
Jessica Iannotta advises that the one thing that a patient can control is nutrition. Consuming nutrient-rich foods that the body can tolerate can improve cancer treatment success.
Nutritional tips for cancer patients:
- Eat small, frequent meals. This allows for continual energy and reduces the distress on the digestive system during chemotherapy.
- Seek out a nutrition partner via your local cancer center. A registered dietitian on-site might help you develop a personalized nutrition plan. The letters CSO indicate a certified specialty in oncology nutrition. Every medical center has someone who can aid with a nutrition plan.
- Keep a food diary. This makes it easier to track what works for you. Share your findings with your dietitian.
Listen as Jessica joins Dr. Bond to share nutrition tips for cancer patients.
Nutrition matters in cancer treatment.Nutrition matters before, during and after cancer treatment.

Poor nutrition impacts a cancer patient’s response to treatment. Malnourished patients have higher rates of toxicity and complication. These impact how well the treatment works. Cancer and its treatment cause nutrition-related side effects.
A simple way to start addressing nutrition is with the Mediterranean diet. Susan modifies this diet based on individual patient needs.
Managing nutrition is something proactive that cancer patients can do to support their healing.
Listen as Susan joins Dr. Bond to share how nutrition impacts cancer recovery.

Sukey and Elizabeth Novogratz say that if you’re breathing, you’re halfway to meditation. The other half is paying attention to your breath.

Strategize your consumption of fats and carbs.Naomi Whittel heard of autophagy a few years ago. Since then, it’s become the focus of her book.
Autophagy means “self eating” in Greek. Your cells have a process that eat away cellular debris, recycle what’s unnecessary, and replace old cells with healthy cells. The foods you eat dictate your autophagy.
One of the key principles of Glow 15 is having healthy fats first and carbs last. Choose carbohydrates with high fiber content. Consume fats in the earlier part of your day. Use those carbs wisely to give you a boost of energy later in the day.
Naomi has personal experience with an autoimmune disorder that affected her skin. She learned that good fats improved her eczema. Healthy fats also help with weight loss.
Deprivation is not the answer to autophagy and overall health.
Listen as Naomi joins Dr. Bond to share how her life has been affected by the tenets of Glow 15.

What do you really know about your probiotics?The probiotics you’re taking are already dead.
Microbiologist Kiran Krishnan explains that we have over 100 trillion bacteria that live in and on our body system. These bacteria control ninety percent of what we do. Bacteria are major players in our health and wellness.

Sean Swarner isn't just a cancer survivor; he is truly a medical marvel.The 29,035-foot giant known as Mount Everest tortures its challengers with life-threatening conditions such as 100 mph winds, the dramatic loss of oxygen, snowstorms, and deadly avalanches. Climbers of Everest are faced with incredible dangers, but for Sean Swarner the obstacles he overcame prior to his summiting make his story even more compelling.
Sean isn't just a cancer survivor; he is truly a medical marvel. He is the only person in the world ever to have been diagnosed with both Hodgkin's disease and Askin's sarcoma. He was diagnosed in the fourth and final stage of Hodgkin's disease at the age of thirteen, when doctors expected him to live for no more than three months. He overcame his illness only to be stricken a second time when a deadly golf ball-sized tumor attacked his right lung. After removal of the Askin's tumor, Sean was expected to live for less than two weeks.
A decade later and with only partial use of his lungs, Sean became famous for being the first cancer survivor to climb Mount Everest.
Sean's successful summiting of Mount Everest was driven not only by his desire to reach the highest peak in the world but also by his determination to use his accomplishment as a way to bring hope to others facing seemingly insurmountable odds. By showing those affected by cancer how he has conquered some of the most difficult obstacles life could offer, Sean inspires others with the will to live.
Sean's story is not just about illness, heartache, and pain; it's about something greater. It's about hope. It's about helping others and never quitting. It's about personal battles with the elements and coming out on top of the world... literally.
Listen as Sean shares his incredible story with Dr. Bond.
Hormones play a big role in a woman's overall health, including her happiness level.As much as women hate to admit it, men are, on average, physiologically happier than them.
Stress -- whether due to career, family issues, financial strain, or parenting -- can have a huge toll on women's mental and emotional health.
Hormones play a big role in a woman's overall health, including her happiness level. This becomes particularly problematic in the perimenopausal and menopausal years.
A vegan lifestyle is one way to improve symptoms, as it helps to flush out excess estrogen. Exercise is also important for easing hormonal angst.
Maintaining sexual activity stimulates "good" hormones as well.
Listen as Chia Chia Sun, Menopause Expert, joins Dr. Bond to explain why men tend to be happier than men and how to boost your happy hormones.
The number-one thing we can do to age well (physically, mentally and emotionally) is to proactively seek out and engage in deep and meaningful connections with others.What allows individuals to age well?
The first answers that might come to mind include eating healthy, exercising, not smoking, or getting proper sleep.
But, according to researchers such as Kerry Burnight, PhD, the number-one thing we can do to age well (physically, mentally and emotionally) is to proactively seek out and engage in deep and meaningful connections with others.
This can be difficult for older adults, particularly if they are home-bound or have lost a life-long partner.
Chronic loneliness can contribute greatly to a senior's demise. There is a 64% increase in developing dementia if you identify as feeling lonely, a 29% in coronary artery disease, and a 26% increase in death.
Technology has the ability to connect humans if used appropriately. However, Dr. Burnight believes that standard technology thus far has been harming older adults. iPads and other tablets can be confusing and present functionality challenges.
Dr. Burnight joins Dr. Bond to explain how the essential apps and services on the revolutionary grandPad eliminate the clutter, distractions, and complications of other devices. This simple tablet for seniors enables users to view family photos and videos, call loved ones, send voice emails, play classic games, and listen to their favorite tunes with the touch of a button to instantly start making and sharing memories.
Learn how to connect in a deep and meaningful way with yourself and your money.Most of us believe that pounding our way through the days is the only path to prosperity and success.
We sacrifice time with our loved ones, our weekends, our vacations, and perhaps even our sanity, in exchange for a paycheck. We put ourselves and our health at the bottom of our priority list and give everything to the great pursuit.
We want to have it all, but don't find satisfaction in any of our achievements. Instead, we find ourselves sitting in our offices and big houses feeling unhappy, broke, burnt out, and unfulfilled.

Naomi Judd's life as a country music superstar has been nonstop success. Offstage, she has battled incredible adversity.Naomi Judd's life as a country music superstar has been nonstop success.
Offstage, she has battled incredible adversity.
Struggling through a childhood of harsh family secrets, the death of a young sibling, and absent emotional support, Naomi found herself reluctantly married and an expectant mother at age 17. Four years later, she was a single mom of two, who survived being beaten and raped, and was abandoned without any financial support and nowhere to turn in Hollywood, CA.
Through this, Naomi has always been a survivor. She put herself through nursing school to support her young daughters, then took a courageous chance by moving to Nashville to pursue their fantastic dream of careers in country music. Her leap of faith paid off, and Naomi and her daughter Wynonna became The Judds, soon ranking with country music's biggest stars, selling more than 20 million records and winning six Grammys.
At the height of the singing duo's popularity, Naomi was given three years to live after being diagnosed with the previously incurable Hepatitis C. Miraculously, she overcame that too and was pronounced completely cured five years later.
But, Naomi was still to face her most desperate fight yet. After finishing a tour with Wynonna in 2011, she began a three-year battle with Severe Treatment Resistant Depression and anxiety. She suffered through frustrating and dangerous roller-coaster effects with antidepressants and other drugs, often terrifying therapies and, at her absolute lowest points, thoughts of suicide.
Against all odds, Naomi persevered once again.
All of these life events culminate and are captured in Naomi's new book, River of Time: My Descent into Depression and How I Emerged with Hope. She joins Dr. Bond to discuss the book and how she has fought for survival time and time again.
Chef Ariane Resnick joins Dr. Bond to share her personal health struggles, how she overcame them, and how she appreciates the journey because it brought her to where she is -- and who she is -- today.Ariane Resnick contracted Lyme disease without even knowing it, an increasingly common instance among the population.
Whereas acute Lyme is generally easy to treat (and cure), late-stage Lyme is typically difficult to diagnose, and symptoms are often attributed to other conditions or as psychosomatic.
Through a series of holistic practices, Ariane was able to heal herself.
She also suffered from chemical poisoning (at a different time in her life), but also used natural healing methods to overcome the poisoning.
After battling these health obstacles, Ariane utilized the lessons she learned to become a special diet chef and certified nutritionist. She develops accessible, organic farm-to-table recipes and creates indulgent, seemingly “normal” food out of impeccably clean, whole food ingredients.
Listen as Ariane joins Dr. Bond to share her personal health struggles, how she overcame them, and how she appreciates the journey because it brought her to where she is -- and who she is -- today.
One of the valuable lessons Cary learned through her cancer journey is that patients are their own best advocates.While breastfeeding her youngest daughter, Cary Goldberg discovered a lump in her breast. Thinking she could wait until her next wellness visit, Cary put off medical care.
Unfortunately, the cancer spread aggressively to nine of her lymph nodes.
Over the next five years, Cary would experience a double mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation, biologic therapy, clinical trials, the removal of her ovaries and uterus, and daily hormone therapy that finally rendered her cancer free.
One of the valuable lessons Cary learned over this journey is that patients are their own best advocates. You don't have to necessarily accept the answer given you, and you shouldn't feel bad about being the "squeaky wheel."
Another positive outcome was that Cary learned about the bra company Handful from a neighbor and finally found the answer for her search for a bra that would work for her breastless body. Realizing that there were other modern, active, flat and fabulous survivors who might benefit from the Handful Bra, Cary enthusiastically went to work managing survivor relations.
Listen as Cary joins host Dr. Bond to share her story, as well as what sets Handful apart from other bra companies.
Eating a Paleo lifestyle refers to a commitment to eating real, whole unprocessed foods that are more healthful than harmful to your body.The phrase Paleo or what has been come to known as “The Paleo Diet” refers to a commitment to eating real, whole unprocessed foods that are more healthful than harmful to your body.
According to Robb Wolf, research biochemist, the Paleo diet is the "healthiest way you can eat because it is the ONLY nutritional approach that works with your genetics to help you stay lean, strong and energetic. Research in biology, biochemistry, ophthalmology, dermatology and many other disciplines indicate it is our modern diet, full of refined foods, trans fats and sugar, that is at the root of degenerative diseases such as obesity, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, depression, and infertility."
To creators of PaleoPro Bill Fitzsimmons and Doug Smith, “Paleo” is more than just a word on a package... it’s a lifestyle for those devoted to and passionate about their everyday health and performance.
Listen as Bill and Doug join Dr. Bond to share the benefits of eating a Paleo lifestyle, as well as why it's important to choose Paleo products that are void of soy, artificial ingredients, and harmful chemical preservatives.

Voted by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the greatest drummers of all time, Aronoff is arguably the most sought-after recording and touring beat master ever.
None of Kenny's success would have been possible without his fierce work ethic and unique approach to drumming. Through any setbacks -- heartaches, failures, injuries, or plain fatigue from the rigors of the biz -- Aronoff has stayed the arduous and wild rock 'n' roll course. The tale he tells in his book, Sex, Drums, Rock 'n' Roll!: The Hardest Hitting Man in Show Business, describes what is possible with unrelenting dedication to one's bliss is an inspiration to all.
In addition to his work as a world-famous recording and touring drummer, Aronoff finds time to be a dedicated teacher and has shared his expertise with students all over the world, teaching clinics for Tama and Zildjian.
Kenny joins Dr. Bond to discuss his path to success in both the recording industry and life as a whole, as well as the message he spreads as a motivational speaker on “The 7 Keys to a Successful Life and Career.”

Alana also shares how she has maintained her healthy lifestyle -- both inside and out -- and as Dr. Bond puts it, "beats Father Time."
A few tips from Alana:
- Reduce stress
- Eat organic when possible
- Avoid food additives and preservatives
- Limit meat (or choose organic, grass-fed, etc.)
- Avoid EMFs (e.g. microwaves) and BPA from plastics
About the Farrah Fawcett Foundation After being diagnosed with cancer in 2006, Farrah Fawcett started the Farrah Fawcett Foundation in 2007. She was committed to finding a cure for her cancer and to personally over see her foundation.
Unfortunately, events took a different turn and after seeking various treatments including alternative choices, she passed away on June 25, 2009.
Farrah wanted to help further cutting edge research and was particularly interested in alternative practices. She often wondered why there was not more research done with this type of cancer and hoped to be able to contribute to this less known area of the disease.
Farrah cared deeply about those less fortunate than she; those struggling with financial hardships as a result of their diagnosis.

One question lies behind every struggle we face: how do I deal with myself?One question lies behind every struggle we face: how do I deal with myself?
Behind all our stumbles, behind each of our missteps, behind every one of our failings lies an inability to handle what Van Moody calls the “I-Factor.”
More than self-worth or self-respect, beyond even character and perception of purpose, the I-Factor is about managing yourself—your whole life—well. In his inspiring new book by the same name, Moody reveals how to get hold of your I-Factor.
Moody identifies three dynamics essential to winning the battle of the I-Factor: identity, significance, and perspective. When you understand your identity you know who you are, setting your foundation for everything. When you understand your significance, you see the purpose and the greatness you were created for. And, when you understand perspective, you can view the problems you face as stepping-stones to greatness rather than stumbling blocks.
Properly understand these three dynamics, and you will be able to master your I-Factor.
Weaving together personal stories, practical principles, and profound biblical truth, The I-Factor provides the key to achieving the life of greatness that you are destined for.

Men need to be aware, acknowledge, and adapt to the hormonal shifts women experience both monthly and as they age.Remember that thing your significant other used to do when you were 28 that you thought was so cute and charming? Now that you're 45, it might be the thing that makes you want to punch him in the face.
This doesn't arise from a mental imbalance, but rather a hormonal one.
Women experience the most hormonal stability between 25 and 35 years old. Then, sex hormones tend to flux up and down until they reach an equilibrium after menopause ends.
These fluctuations can cause both emotional "symptoms" such as irritation, anger or aggression and physical symptoms such as vaginal dryness.

Are you consistently overweight, no matter what you do?Are you consistently overweight, no matter what you do? Have you tried everything? Are you plagued by stubborn fat hanging around your hips, thighs, and belly? Well, there's a reason for that. All those frustratingly pointless diets and exercise regimes have failed to address the root cause of weight gain.
According to Dr. Lori Shemek, a successful diet isn't centered on calories or cardio. She says, "Cutting calories doesn't cut it." Our problems with fat are created because we eat foods that cause the body's natural fat cells to become inflamed.
Sadly, the staples of the Standard American Diet -- from pasta and bread to factory-farmed chicken and cattle, from sugar and artificial sweeteners to salad dressing and soft drinks -- irritate our fat cells, causing chronic inflammation and chronically oversized fat cells. This irritation causes the body to store fat permanently, no matter how hard you exercise or how diligently you cut back on calories.
Dr. Shemek calls this serious condition FATflammation, and only when you decrease the inflammation of the fat cells can you achieve the weight loss and optimum health you've been chasing. We need to forget about counting calories, counting points, fad diets, no-fat diets, and spending countless hours at the gym.
Dr. Shemek joins Dr. Bond to discuss the idea behind FATflammation, as well as the following key topics:
- Core Underlying Cause of Weight Gain
- Low-Level Inflammation
- The Calorie Myth
- The Fat Myth
- Gut Health
