Dr. Larry McCleary

Nutritional advice is a tower of Babble. There are many theories that have little research to support them. The US government’s Food Pyramid and recommendations reflect more of a political process than a scientific process. The marketplace is full of hype for products and services. The answers on what really fosters wellness and longevity will ultimately come from scientific research. The strength of Dr. McCleary’s advice is that it is based in research and clinical experience.

The story of Peter Pan concluded, “All of this has happened before and will all happen again.” Barrie could have applied the same intro to the more than 100 years of diet insanity in America. Previous diet ideas keep resurfacing like moles in an arcade Whack-a-Mole.

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.

Bypass Surgery and Stents Usually Do More Harm Than Good

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.

Dr. Barry Sears

I usually cringe when I hear someone say it’s not your fault. But Dr. Barry Sears’ research convinced me that if you are overweight it’s not your fault. The bad news is that most Americans are carrying around a lot of toxic fat-which like cancer can spread and cause havoc to many organs. The good news is that research has found solutions in a very reasonable diet and taking fish oil supplements. Dr. Sears, creator of the Zone Diet, has been researching cancer and diets for decades and just come out with his newest New York Times Best Seller, Toxic Fat. Today you will learn how former Department of Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz helped make millions of people fat and what you can do to undo the damage, lose weight and be healthier. Get ready to have your eyes opened by the researcher that makes more sense and has more data than any diet research or program you have ever heard of.

Dr. Nicole Flora, Anti-Aging Physician

>Medicine has focused on treating diseases. What we call healthcare has mostly been disease care. Anti-aging medicine emerged in the last ten years or so to ask what can doctors do to be proactive in preventing aging and diseases. As a new discipline, it has attracted both very dedicated physicians and frankly a few hucksters. Today’s expert is clearly one of the best anti-aging physicians, Dr. Nicole Flora. Dr. Flora was Board Certified in family medicine, obtained a Master’s degree in Public Health, and later specialized in age management and anti-aging medicine. She has been active in research and is on several policy boards. In the first part of the program, we will focus on what anti-aging medicine is and what it has to offer. In the second part of the program, we look at the pros and cons of different anti-aging treatments.
