014 – Fighting Colds, Flu and Bronchitis – Dean Morris

Cold and flu season is fast approaching. The best thing you can do to prepare is make sure you are well nourished. Quality foods can go a long way towards bolstering your immune system. Poor quality food cannot by definition support good health. Some foods are actually detrimental to good health. Immune function can diminish for hours after the consumption of refined sugar. The average American diet can leave one nutritionally deprived and immune deficient. So the first step is to make better choices with your foods.

The second step is to take supplements to bolster immune function

013 – Astaxanthin, the World’s Strongest Antioxidant – Dr. Robert Corish

Astaxanthin is a powerful carotenoid antioxidant. It is a red colored pigment that gives color to salmon, krill and other animals. Natural astaxanthin is derived from micro algae and as an antioxidant is many times more powerful than vitamins C or E. Some of the established studies on astaxanthin reveal that it provides benefits for skin, joint, and cardiovascular health.

My interview on astaxanthin is with Dr. Robert Corish. Dr. Corish consults and lectures internationally on preventive medicine, natural health and toxicology. He is the medical adviser for Cyanotech, the makers of natural astaxanthin. He is the author of A Guide to Men’s Health, Answers to Questions All Men Should Ask Their Doctor.

010 – Omega-3 is Critical for Women and Children

My interview with Dr. Marshall centers around the importance of omega-3 fatty acids for both women and children. The deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids in the average American diet combined with the excessive amounts of omega-6 fatty acids creates an imbalance that has dramatic effects in human health. The importance of omega-3 fatty acids for the developing fetus and the developing child cannot be over stated. Many issues with brain development are related to fats in the diet. For women, omega-3 fatty acids are essential. In this interview, Dr. Marshall will discuss the importance of omega-3 fatty acids from fish and fish oil supplements.

009 – John Gay Discusses Threats to Nutritional Supplements Coming Out of Washington

In this episode I will discuss the threats coming out of Washington. There are currently at least two threats to nutritional freedoms. The first is the FDA’s proposed New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) draft regulation. This is a new guidance being considered by FDA and could cause many supplements to be removed from the marketplace. Not for safety reasons but rather for costly and burdensome regulation. FDA has full authority to act against dangerous or harmful supplements.

008 – Diane Miller Discusses the Wis. Consumer Choice and Wellness Act

Diane Miller has been instrumental in the formation of a Wisconsin consumer health access bill. In my interview with Diane, we discuss the new Wisconsin Legislative Draft of the Consumer Choice and Wellness Act.

This initiative is the culmination of many years of effort to craft a bill that would protect unlicensed alternative practitioners. Under current law, alternative practitioners of various healing modalities are at risk for being prosecuted for practicing medicine without a license for doing even the simplest therapy. This bill would allow the practice of alternative therapies. This bill would create a framework for the mutual existence of modern medicine and natural alternative modalities. Practitioners such as herbalists, nutritional counselors, body workers, native healers and many other would be able to operate in the open.

007 – Wis. Dietitians Bill Threatens Health Freedom

This interview is mainly for the consumers in Wisconsin who will be severely and adversely affected if the dietitians are successful. The only way to defeat this bill is for Wisconsin citizens to let their legislators know how they feel. Your legislators won’t know what is important to you if you don’t tell. They will listen and enough voices will make a difference.

Wisconsin consumer groups are attempting to pass a Consumer Choice and Wellness Act which will protect alternative service providers from unnecessary harassment from licensing boards. See the next post (008 – Wis. Consumer Choice and Wellness Act.) for my interview with Diane on this new and important consumer access bill.

004 – Creating a Nutritional Supplement Program that Works

FacebookLinkedinTwitterPinterestOne of the biggest challenges consumers face when choosing which nutritional supplements to use is making distinctions in the marketplace. It is very difficult for consumers to discern the differences between similar products and it is difficult for them to assess whether one choice is better than another.
