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.

Second only to the common cold, back pain is the most common reason for sick leave at work. Hardly anyone over fifty hasn’t had at least one serious episode of back pain or neck pain. Chances are you have experienced some serious back or neck pain. We go to our doctors and want instant results. Translation—we want pills. We want a quick fix. But pain killers, muscle relaxers, and steroids are likely to aggravate the problem and give unwanted bonuses of depression, slower healing, and drug dependency. Spine specialist Dr. Mark Brown says if you throw away the pills and walk it off 90% of the time you will recover from the problem and the pain—if fact you are more likely to recover and recover more quickly without the pills. Dr. Brown is an eminent orthopedic spine surgeon, is on the editorial board of four medical journals, and is a professor at the University of Miami. He is an MD and Ph.D., teaches, does research, and has a clinical practice. His new book, Conquer Back and Neck Pain: Walk It Off helps diagnose what kind of pain you have and determine what to do—and not do.

Dr. Ruthann Russo takes a very holistic approach to healthcare. Recently on Ageless Lifestyles Radio, she shared with us her health system advocacy strategies for getting what you need from doctors, hospitals, and insurance companies. In addition to her book, 7 steps to your best possible healthcare, she has done a very balanced study of the raw food movement. Her brand new book is The Raw Food Diet Myth. Frankly I didn’t know much about raw foods but I trusted Dr. Russo from our previous show. I also had a good friend tell me how he has gotten into raw foods and loves raw ice cream. When I read Dr. Russo’s book, I was so impressed with how instead of evangelizing for a movement, she gently makes the case with the perspective that most people who would consider raw food would want to wade in gradually and pick and choose what makes sense to them. Ten years ago organic foods were hard to find. Now we have supermarkets like Whole Foods and many mainstream grocery stores have organic food sections. It wouldn’t surprise me if ten years from now the raw food options are equally common.
