Ep. 77: Executive Inaction
November 24, 2019 06:14 - 19 minutes - 11 MBThe fact that our air and water are polluted by multiple contaminants from many sources is a given: industry, agriculture and even sewage systems are just a few of the origin points for air and water contamination.

October 21, 2019 03:57 - 16 minutes - 9.38 MBYes, Americans are more overweight than ever, and the costs are measurable in cash. The typical overweight consumer, in fact, spends hundreds more dollars in health care every year than his peers of healthy weight.

Ep. 73: Weight Here
August 05, 2019 05:30 - 32 minutes - 18.4 MBWhy is it that more American consumers are suffering from obesity?

Ep. 72: Tainted Research
July 31, 2019 23:57 - 10 minutes - 8.89 MBGovernment agencies like the USDA and the FDA routinely cite studies about food and nutrition to guide our dietary choices. These studies often involve years of research, and they’re expensive, sometimes costing millions. But what if this government research isn’t financed by the government?

Ep. 68: The Menopausal Male
July 01, 2019 04:31 - 18 minutes - 9.32 MBMenopause isn't just for women. Many of the same symptoms, the irritability, hot flashes and night sweats, are experienced by men of a certain age, just as they are for women. And usually, the causes are the same, too.

Ep. 67: Sweet Life
June 25, 2019 18:55 - 9 minutes - 5.77 MBSugar is so bad for us in so many ways, it's tough to create a comprehensive list. Sugar's addictive properties are for real: if you crave it, it's because your body chemistry has been trained to pine for it. The alternative?

Ep. 66: Pollen's Bad Rap
June 17, 2019 18:20 - 25 minutes - 14.8 MBEvery spring and summer, millions of Americans reach for medications they hope will help relieve the sneezing, hacking and pain of seasonal allergies. Many are also convinced that if they can limit their exposure to pollen, they can control the extent of their allergic reactions. Not true. Pollen's not the problem.

Ep. 65: Soiled
June 10, 2019 04:12 - 10 minutes - 14.7 MBThe very ground upon which we walk may be toxic, and more importantly, the soil in which our food is grown is toxic, too. Soil polluted by synthetic fertilizers and other pollutants produces foods that are deficient in nutrients and essential vitamins and minerals. These deficiencies can't always be corrected by dietary supplements. So how do we account for tainted soil that produces unhealthy food?
Ep. 64: Digest This
June 03, 2019 18:32 - 23 minutes - 13.4 MBPainful episodes of indigestion or acid reflux are common, and so are medications meant to address them. It's a classic case of the cure being worse than the disease. Our systems need acid to function properly. Medications that reduce acid in the stomach actually make the problem worse. And failing to address digestive issues can lead to more serious issues, including ulcers. So what's the answer? How do we fix digestive issues in a way that provides more than a short-term solution?
Ep. 63: The Agony of Arthritis
May 28, 2019 19:31 - 25 minutes - 15 MBAmericans of all ages are susceptible to arthritis, bursitis and tendonitis. Millions of sufferers understandably reach for medications for temporary relief from pain. But even over-the-counter medications like aspirin can cause more problems than they solve. And if that's the case, if arthritis meds are a poor long-term solution, what can you do to lessen or fix the problem?
Ep. 62: The Alkaline Hype
May 16, 2019 20:50 - 24 minutes - 14.2 MBAmerica's billion-dollar bottled-water industry includes many brands of alkaline water that claim to help lower levels of acid in the body. Water ionizers costing hundreds or thousands of dollars supposedly provide similar benefits. But are these really benefits at all? Our bodies need minimum levels of acid to function properly. Is there a better way of determining your body's particular needs, and how to address them?
Salt Fault
May 08, 2019 01:31 - 8 minutes - 3.02 MBSalt gets a bad rap. It's not the health-killer it's made out to be, and in fact, it's essential for total health. Sea salt is the best, of course, but why? What is it about sea salt that makes it superior to processed table salt, and why should it be your first choice as a food seasoning and preservative?
Ep. 60: Green Saviors
May 01, 2019 05:10 - 5 minutes - 1.89 MBOur homes are full of toxins like formaldehyde and other building products that pollute the air, in addition to the cleansers, detergents and other common, health-damaging products we rely on every day. Plants can help. They cleanse the air and make our homes healthier, and specific plants provide specific health benefits.
Ep. 59: Calorie Killer
April 24, 2019 05:14 - 23 minutes - 13.4 MBTens of millions of Americans are considered obese by the Centers for Disease Control, and the number is growing. What's going on? Why are we getting so fat so quick? One myth is that calories are the culprit. Counting calories is NOT an effective way to lose weight. In fact, focusing on calorie control can be entirely self-defeating.
Ep. 58: Test Failure
April 16, 2019 23:46 - 15 minutes - 8.91 MBIf you're tired and in pain, if your head and body ache and you find it difficult to function, the thing to do is get some medical tests, right? You can't fix a problem until you diagnose it. But what happens when the tests are no help? What if they can't find anything wrong? More problematically, what if the tests appear to making things worse? This conversation between Paul Rosen and a patient answers these questions, and more.
Ep. 57: Skin in the Game
April 12, 2019 23:52 - 31 minutes - 20.2 MBThe first thing to know about any skin condition, large or small, eczema, psoriasis, acne, rosacea, or any other, is that the cure isn't to be found in ointments or creams or anything else you may choose to apply to your body. It's your diet that counts. What you eat can help eliminate the skin conditions that may be wrecking your appearance and your self-esteem, and in some cases, subjecting you to chronic pain.
Ep. 56: Giving Up
April 12, 2019 19:10 - 22 minutes - 10 MBAt any point in your life, you may experience fatigue, mental fog, general pain and fading energy. You may even reach a point where any of all of these symptoms sap your motivation to get up and get going every day, or they may incapacitate you entirely. So what do you do? If you've tried everything, and nothing works, is it time to give up?
Ep. 55: Alcoholic Hands
February 27, 2019 05:55 - 6 minutes - 9.54 MBOver the past couple of decades, hand sanitizers have mutated into a billion-dollar industry. You may keep hand sanitizers at the ready in your house right now, and many offices and businesses position them for employees to use at will. But you shouldn't be using them at all. They're often full of ingredients that can do you a lot more harm than good.
