This week on the radio, doctor Galati talked about Wellness strategies for the upcoming year in 2024. The key take away is that everybody has a good understanding of various health metrics including your weight and body mass index, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, liver chemistries, and blood glucose.

A Listener Calls In

This past week on Your Health First, Paul, a listener from New Jersey, called into the broadcast, and shared his recent experience with the results of his coronary calcium score. The tests results showed a very high calcium score, putting Paul at risk for a cardiac event-such as a heart attack. Joining us on the program was Dr. James Wilson, a cardiologist in the Texas Medical Center, in Houston.

Dr. Wilson explained the various risk factors for cardiovascular disease, as well as possible symptoms to be aware of. Next steps for Paul we discussed.

This week we dedicate our program to the "Cost of Wellness". Jackie DeAngelis from Fox Business Network and John Grover from Grover Planning and Investing at Raymond James join the discussion.

Without your health, you are jeopardizing your financial prosperity. Higher medical costs, reduced income and job advancement, earlier retirement, disability, and an overall decline in your financial outlook develop with chronic illness.

#Fentanyl accounts for 67% of overdose deaths in the past year, with over 100,000 people in the United states dying of drug overdose or drug poisoning.
The fentanyl crisis is truly the number one public health crisis that America faces. Many of these deaths are related to fentanyl being mixed in with other illegal drugs like heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, and marijuana. It's being found that many users are completely unaware that they are actually being exposed to fentanyl. Small amounts of fentanyl can be toxic causing death.
George Joseph, founder and CEO of Positive Recovery Centers based in Houston TX, joins us today on the radio. George shares his lifetime of experience in addiction and recovery, and gives his advice on this very serious and complex problem.
