Today he shares the insight, wit and wisdom from his quest.

Preventive Health Researcher Dr. Duke Johnson

When health study results are announced, the news feeds us sketchy, piecemeal results with little attention to the quality or limitations of the study. Radio and TV thrives on the diet of the week and sensationalism. No wonder Americans are confused about what to do to be healthier. Research is becoming increasingly clear, however, that there is a common denominator to heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and other chronic diseases. Dr. Duke Johnson, author of The Optimal Health Revolution, shares with us what that commonality is and how it can guide us in preventing chronic diseases.

Preventive Cardiologist Dr. Michael Ozner

Three major research studies show that bypass surgery doesn’t prevent heart attacks or death any more than conservative medical treatment. Further, research shows that angioplasties (with or without stents) don’t prevent heart attacks or deaths any more than conservative medical treatment. There is little research to contradict these well designed, peer reviewed studies published in prominent medical journals. Nevertheless, 1.5 million Americans a year have angioplasties or bypass surgery.

Elsa Hoffmann and Sharon Textor-Black

Only a third of Americans want to live to 100. Why? They imagine that living to 100 means being in a nursing home, crippled with arthritis, your mind destroyed by Alzheimer’s, and the highlight of your day-nursing home food. That is a possibility, but certainly not a necessity. Today we are going to talk with 101 year old Elsa Hoffman and her granddaughter/biographer Sharon Textor-Black on how living to 100 can be fabulous.

Dr. Ryan Niemiec

Historically psychology has focused on what’s wrong. In clinical psychology, the emphasis on pathology was reinforced by insurance companies only paying for treatment of diagnosable conditions. Ten years ago Martin Seligman launched the field of positive psychology and made it the theme of his presidency of the American Psychological Association. Dr. Ryan Niemiec helps us look at movies from the perspective of positive psychology and see how that lens can help us live longer, healthier, happier lives.

Hospitals are dangerous places. 5% of patients leave with infections they acquired at the hospital and 5% experience medication errors. There are drug interactions, miscommunications, falls, unhealthy food, and neglect. Most people put a lot of planning into going on a vacation, and do no planning for a hospital stay. To help you come out alive and healthy, you need to know how the system works and how to work the system. Martine Ehrenclou, author of Critical Conditions: The Essential Hospital Guide to Get Your Loved One Out Alive has researched and distilled what you need to know and do to defend yourself in a hospitaland achieve the best possible outcome

Cardiologist Dr. Joel Okner and Cardiac Psychologist Jeremy Clorfene

If you or someone you love has a heart attack, the cardiologist probably gives you a brief technical assessment. Anxiety levels are so high you only hear a small fraction of what the doctor says, and remember even less. Typically, there is no discussion about the psychological factors and dealing with the stress, changes, and how different your life has become. Cardiologist Dr. Joel Okner and Cardiac Psychologist Dr. Jeremy Clorfene stepped in to fill the gap with their just released book, The No Bull Book On Heart Disease: Real Answers To Winning Back Your Heart and Health.
