On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with the flu, if there is cause for concern, where cases are higher, and why there have been more hospitalizations and deaths. Continuing with the flu discussion, questions arise on what’s in these flu shots (as well as any vaccine).Then, the conversation shifts to safer opioids offer pain relief without the significant side effects and dangers of addiction. Next up, the link between gut health and brain health with focus on what to eat, what to avoid, best exercises, and more. Additionally, Doug and Ken discuss a new study on fasting, and benefits of intermittent fasting.The conversation then shifts to the continued work in the medical world with the future of medicine to make adjustments with genetics and gene therapy. Especially when there seems to be genetic links to so many illnesses and how we’re effected by diseases and what we’re pre-disposed to or of which we’re dealing with increased risk. Rounding out the discussion, Doug and Dr. Ken address listener questions, beginning with a debate of coffee vs green tea and which benefits overpower the others. Another question is about a new bipass operation that is minimally invasive when correcting blockages. Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), covers the the biggest news in the health and wellness space from a holistic, naturopath perspective. In this episode, Dr. Jack starts off with a confession that he uses tanning beds in the winter-time, and explains why he does so. In large part, it has to do with vitamin D, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Dr. Jack dives in. Americans now spend less than 8% of a 24-hour period outside. It’s no wonder why our population is profoundly deficient in UVB.  While the use of a tanning bed isn’t a be all end all, but it’s better than no UVB exposure, as Dr. Jack says. He continues with how to find a safe, hygienic facility.  Then, Doug joins and he and Dr. Jack go into a conversation about minerals, nutrients and supplements and the importance of quality soil for which are foods are grown. There are places across this country that are mineral rich, and some that aren’t. Our food supply has become so deficient in vitamins and minerals, so when you look at this holistically, vitamin supplements may be an important addition to the American diet, but not all supplements are created equal. There are supplements made in a lab, and supplements made by nature. That’s why Dr. Jack stands by Standard Process supplements, which you can learn about on JackStockwell.com.

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin the new year with notable FDA approvals just announced, like a novel blood test that could be used to determine the risk of someone developing prostate cancer. Another approval is a treatment to help those with alpha beta thalassemia, an inherited blood disorder that affects your body’s ability to produce hemoglobin and healthy red blood cells.Moving on, another weight loss medication has been approved by the FDA, in competition with self-injections like Wegovy and Ozempic, but this one is a GLP-1 in oral pill form. Then, the conversation shifts to the horrible flu going around this year with high cases going on in the New York City area and appears to be potentially deadly. Dr. Ken urges the flu shot for anyone who is not allergic to it and says the flu shot won’t keep you from getting sick with the flu, but will help keep your symptoms milder and not deadly. This could be the worst flu season we’ve seen in a long time.While COVID and the flu are not the same, there is also news on the long-COVID front and why symptoms are different for various people and an understanding why some people experience it as a cold and others have worse, long-lasting symptoms. With a new year brings New Year’s Resolutions. Doug and Dr. Ken discuss health-related resolutions and what makes some more sustainable than others. Lose weight seems to be a top resolution, along with working out more, followed by efforts to quit smoking. The main priority in attaining and maintaining resolutions is to not give up. If there is a setback, or failure, keep going, keep trying. With weight loss in mind, Doug is joined by Elizabeth Miller from Calotren to talk about the New Year and the common resolution for weight loss and overall health. The best way to approach the New Year isn’t as simple as having goals, but having a sustainable plan to go with those goals. With a stronger focus on healthy bodies, many have turned to weight loss injectables like Ozempic and Wegovy, but along with the weigh loss comes loss of muscle mass and other issues. With Calotren, you can take only that for your weight loss journey, or you can add Calotren to the injectables routine because it helps to rebuild the lean muscle tissue, tone and repair. While the injectables aren’t sustainable for long term use, Calotren is.

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), covers the the biggest news in the health and wellness space from a holistic, naturopath perspective. In this episode, Dr. Jack covers a common question he gets about estrogens, specifically for women who are under the treatment of cancer (mainly breast cancer). Dr. Jack advices against any external source of estrogen for women going through breast cancer treatment. Unfortunately, it’s not as simple as avoiding certain supplements. A lot of beef, lamb, especially poultry, are increasingly contaminated with artificial estrogens which have been injected into the animals in order to fatten them up and/or increase their rate of growth to get to the market faster. All the more reason to avoid commercial-farming and support local farmers which you can see how their animals are raised and the quality in place. Continuing on, Dr. Jack explains why we are the sickest and the most overweight country on the planet, and why the food choices are a primary culprit. Most other countries have real food in their grocery stores. Here in the US, we have an abundance of food-like products. Much of our processed foods contain chemicals and ingredients that have been banned in other countries, often from the same brand. Why would brands create two types of the same food with one being of better quality for other countries with stricter guidelines vs what is permitted and sold here. Then, the health conversation shifts to healthy weight with Doug’s conversation with Elizabeth Miller from Calotren to talk about the New Year and the common resolution for weight loss and overall health. The best way to approach the New Year isn’t as simple as having goals, but having a sustainable plan to go with those goals.

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with what he sees from patients after the first of the year. Primarily, part of New Year’s Resolutions include a focus on health, with people coming into the doctor’s office more often to check in on their health, especially with the overindulgence from the holiday season. January, in general, is a time of huge interest in one’s health. Then, the conversation shifts to a lab-grown heart, creating hopeful treatments for the future to regrow human organs. Continuous research and trials are intended to lead to successful transplants without needing donor waiting lists. Next up, Doug and Dr. Ken dive into Myasthenia Gravis (MG), a chronic autoimmune disease causing fluctuating weakness in voluntary muscles (eyes, face, swallowing, limbs) that worsens with activity and improves with rest, due to nerve signals being blocked from reaching muscles by the immune system. There is now a FDA approved treatment offering new hope to patients with MG. Shifting focus to mental health, a review finds some patients are able to safely taper off some of the antidepressants, a new hope following criticism that once you got on these drugs you can’t get off of them. Rounding out the conversation, listener questions are addressed, including the dangers of hair loss pills and potential benefits of topicals over consumed OTC or prescribed medications, surprising benefits of vitamin D that go beyond bone health, if women should exercise differently than men or if age matters more than sex, and more.  Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks
