How much do headlines shape the way we think about health and risk?

Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), takes a critical look at the intersection of media, public health, medical research and personal choice before Doug Stephan joins the conversation. 

Dr. Jack examines recent coverage of measles cases and deaths and questions how health statistics are presented to the public. He compares the attention given to infectious diseases with the much broader burden of chronic disease and shares his perspective on vaccine research, transparency and the importance of allowing individuals and parents to make informed medical decisions.

The discussion also explores the ways health crises can become intertwined with politics and why Dr. Jack believes separating scientific evidence from political messaging is essential when evaluating public health information. 

Later, the focus shifts to children and technology. Dr. Jack and Doug discuss concerns surrounding excessive screen time, how constant exposure to phones and other devices may affect childhood development, and ways parents can be more intentional about their children’s relationship with technology and their environment.

It’s a wide-ranging conversation about questioning the information we consume, understanding health risks and navigating personal health decisions in an increasingly connected world.

Could some of the best longevity habits also be the simplest?

This week on *Good Day Health*,  Doug Stephan and Frankie Boyer (frankieboyer.com) explore how everyday choices, from walking and breathing to having more fun, can support physical and mental well-being as we age. 

Doug and Frankie discuss why movement is one of the most important pieces of the longevity puzzle and why exercise doesn’t have to mean an intense workout. Walking, adding small bursts of activity throughout the day and simply spending less time sitting can all help keep the body moving. They also explore breathing techniques, adapting exercise to your body and finding ways to stay active when weather keeps you indoors.

The conversation goes beyond physical activity to examine the connection between mental health and overall wellness. Doug and Frankie talk about the value of music, laughter, fun and giving your mind a break from everyday stress, as well as the relationship between chronic stress and inflammation.

They also discuss reducing exposure to potentially harmful chemicals in everyday products, choosing greener alternatives when possible, supporting local farms and paying closer attention to the quality and sources of the food we eat.

Plus, they look at DHEA and how hormone levels change with age. It’s a practical conversation about making small, sustainable changes that can add more movement, joy and healthy choices to everyday life.

How should we interpret health statistics—and what can the numbers actually tell us? 

This week on *Good Day Health*, Doug Stephan is joined by Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), for a conversation about measles reporting, public health data and the importance of understanding the context behind health-related headlines. 

Dr. Jack examines reports surrounding measles-associated deaths in Pennsylvania and discusses the distinction between having an infection at the time of death and determining the infection to be the underlying cause. He shares his perspective on how cases and deaths are classified, the role of the immune system, vaccination and natural immunity, and why he believes closer examination of individual cases is important when interpreting public health statistics.

The conversation also looks at the historical impact of measles before widespread vaccination, reporting of mild versus severe cases, and how media coverage can shape public perception of disease risk.

Later, Doug and Dr. Jack broaden the discussion to nutrition and longevity, including the potential impact of highly processed foods and why Dr. Jack advocates for a diet centered around natural, nutrient-dense foods.

It’s a wide-ranging conversation about asking questions, understanding health data and making informed decisions about the factors that can influence long-term health.
