On this episode of Good Day Health, host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) dive into this week’s top health stories and answer listener questions with expert insights. First up: AI in medicine. Dr. Ken shares how he prefers to think of artificial intelligence as “Assisted Intelligence,” explaining how new technologies are enhancing diagnostics and patient care. One example? Advanced AI models can now analyze heart MRIs and medical records to detect subtle scar patterns that predict sudden cardiac death — a game-changer in preventive cardiology. Speaking of prevention, Dr. Ken emphasizes a growing “fourth pillar” in the fight against heart disease: vaccinations for common infections, joining the ranks of diet, exercise, and medication. Then, Doug shares a wild personal story: after days of ear pain and a misdiagnosis of infection, the true culprit was revealed — a ladybug stuck in his ear. This leads into a broader discussion on ear health and new research showing that wearing hearing aids may actually improve your social life. Also on the brain: New research finds that the human hippocampus — the brain’s memory center — continues generating new neurons even in old age, offering new hope for cognitive longevity. Listener questions include:

• Is Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) offering more than weight loss benefits, such as protecting limbs in patients with Type 2 diabetes?
• What’s up with the new COVID-19 variant XFG (“Stratus”) and its unusual symptom — a raspy voice?

Join Doug and Dr. Ken for a fast-paced, informative hour packed with useful health tips, surprising discoveries, and practical advice for everyday wellness.

Dr. Jack Stockwell (www.forbiddendoctor.com & www.jackstockwell.com | Phone: 866-867-5070), a GAPS Practitioner and NUCCA Chiropractor, discusses the biggest concerns for health and medical news from a natural position over a Western Medicine approach. He starts today’s episode with the best way to find information you can trust when it comes to your health, and that’s doing the research to see if who is benefiting from the information — who is making money off of specific wellness avenues. Think of areas of healthcare filled with medical myths in an effort on Big Pharma and conventional medicine who profit on keeping us sick. Dr. Jack continues with the pushed thought that cholesterol is the primary villain in heart disease, which he says is a narrative built upon flawed studies and industry manipulation. Next up is the blood pressure myth, a concept of essential hypertension without a known cause. High blood pressure is typically treated with cutting out salt, losing weight, increased exercise and taking medication for the rest of the patient’s life or they risk dying from a heart attack. A lot of these medications for hypertension can cause dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, dizziness, fatigue, and even sexual dysfunction. The main cause for most cases of hypertension is often a result of insulin resistance, or chronically high levels of blood sugar. Eating too much of the foods we shouldn’t be eating and not enough of what we should be eating. Most medical advice is diagnosing illness and disease, followed by treatment. Not often enough is the root cause addressed, nor is preventative care a primary focus. Another myth is about osteoporosis and it being a normal part of aging, especially for women — treated with increased calcium intake and medication. The truth is that osteoporosis is the result of lower hormone levels post menopause, high levels of inflammation, and a lack of load bearing activity to stress the bones. Another myth: the menopause hormone replacement cancer myth — the myth is that HRT is dangerous and causes breast cancer. The truth is that this belief came from a flawed study that used synthetic hormones on elderly participants who had preexisting health conditions, and other relative data was left out of the final result published. Moving on, Doug joins Dr. Jack for a discussion on bowel movements and the importance of regularity. It’s common to experience a bowel movement first thing in the morning, but what happens if someone isn’t moving their bowels so regularly? Dr. Jack explains the new cell turnover, as well as good bacteria vs bad bacteria in our gut and what it all does if to your gut health if you’re not regular.

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 discuss the biggest news stories in the medical world, starting with a focus on good news that heart attack deaths have dropped by nearly 90% since the 1900s, in large part to implementing knowledge of the fundamental risk factors of heart disease.

Additionally, a new study suggests a better way to measure weight over BMI (body mass index). The problem with it is that muscle and bone are a lot heavier than fat, which can give a false elevated BMI reading. A BMI over 30 is obesity. There are now high tech devices that can better measure body fat more accurately. Moving on, regular exercise in children isn’t only fighting childhood obesity, but also childhood anxiety and depression.

Next up, new hope of inverse vaccines that target a specific part of the immune system to suppress, and possibly reverse, autoimmune disease.

The next item of interest is what the Health and Human Services is doing with the food and drink products containing synthetic dyes and just how many food products they’re actually added to, and the most common is Red 40.

Then the question -- how beneficial are pets for our health if we’re allergic? Turns out, pet allergens are found in nearly all homes, even homes without pets. Pet allergens are from the pet dander, not their fur, and symptoms of pet allergies often mimic colds or seasonal allergies — sneezing, running nose, nasal congestion, red and/or itchy eyes, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and hives or eczema. Immunotherapy is the only, ultimate relief of pet allergies. If you’re looking to reduce allergy symptoms to pets, that would include keeping the pets out of the bedroom, use HEPA air filters, wash hands after petting animals, bathe your pet regularly, and use a vacuums with a double or micro-filter bag.

Lastly, Doug and Dr. Ken answer listener questions, including low levels of a common drinking water contaminant linked to premature birth, low birth weight babies, and interference of the bloods ability to carry oxygen. Plus, are juice classes as healthy as we’re led to believe? Doug and Dr. Ken discuss that, too. In tandem with that, foods that are filled with microplastics include apples and carrots (most commonly used in juice cleanses). Other foods with higher levels of microplastics include rice, pink Himalayan sea salt, sugar, tea, plant-based nuggets, fish sticks, shrimp, and water.

Dr. Jack Stockwell (www.forbiddendoctor.com & www.jackstockwell.com | Phone: 866-867-5070), a GAPS Practitioner and NUCCA Chiropractor, discusses the biggest concerns for health and medical news from a natural position over a Western Medicine approach. He starts today’s episode with the foods common in America, yet banned in Europe — and why these items are banned.  First on the list is cow’s milk with RGH/RBST . . . a growth hormone designed to increase milk production. Europe has banned these hormones altogether. Next on the list is Tostitos Salsa Con Queso which contains Yellow 5 & 6, which comes from petroleum and is linked to hyperactivity and allergic reactions in children. Drug-treated meat is also permitted in America and banned in Europe. Raktopamean makes animals leaner and is banned due to its potential impact on cardiovascular and overall health in the humans who eat the drug-treated meat. Certain flavors of Pop-Tarts are also on the list of permitted in the U.S. and banned in Europe because of falsified nutritional values on the box. The U.S. allows outright lies, where European food laws are far more strict in honesty of nutritional value. Plus, the Blueberry and Wild Berry flavors of Pop-Tarts contain Blue dyes. That brings us up to farm-raised salmon, which uses artificial coloring and chemicals applied to farm-raised fish to mimic the color of wild-caught salmon and to make them grow faster. These chemicals have long term health effects on humans, including cancer. In Europe, farm-raised salmon has to meet strict organic standards and be free from these chemicals. Another food that exists here and in Europe, but completely different — McDonald’s French fries. McD’s fries served in the United Kingdom contain three ingredients: potato, fat and salt. In America, McD’s fries have 17 ingredients, including “flavor enhancers” and other addictive chemicals. To round out this episode of Good Day Health, Doug and Dr. Jack discuss neck health and why NUCCA Chiropractic care is important in overall health, why garlic supplements from naturally derived garlic is healthy for us (especially from Standard Process, which you can buy on ForbiddenDoctor.com), and why you should add onion root to your daily nutritional intake.

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 discuss the biggest news stories in the medical world, starting with a focus on handling the excessive summertime heat and how to combat heat exhaustion and heat stroke with prevention — like staying hydrated (which sounds easier than done), wearing a hat, minimize sun exposure during the hottest part of the day (usually around 9/10 AM - 3 PM), and being aware of symptoms of heat-related illness.

Summertime heat also brings stronger UV levels, and Dr. Ken shares his thoughts on wearing sunscreen, why it’s important to use in order to avoid sunburn — which is what can lead to skin cancer — and a dermatologist-recommended sunscreen is the best kind of sunscreen. Plus, a hot new item that is sun-protective clothing that blocks out harmful UV rays.

Next up, a caveat to the health benefits of drinking a cup or two of coffee every day may help you live longer but only if there aren’t any creams or sugar added — black coffee is the only way to get the health benefits of coffee.

Moving on, new information suggests some risk factors for lower back pain as we get older can be modifiable with fighting obesity, not smoking, getting rid of mental stress, lifting weights properly, and increasing the length of time and intensity of which you walk.

We know about the concussion danger of football, but did you know soccer is a sport that can lead to brain injuries as well. A new study looks at the risk of using the head instead of the feet (headers), and that MRI scans found evidence that heading the ball alters chemistry and nerve function in the brain and causes slightly elevated levels of protein that have been associated with brain injury.

Plus, Doug and Dr. Ken addresses fighting against muscle loss. Unfortunately, when it comes to weight loss drugs, a good amount of the weight coming off is from muscle, not strictly fat. However, there is an experimental drug to help people taking semaglutide keep their muscle while losing weight.

Lastly, Dr. Ken answers listener questions. First one has to do with poop. Does regularity matter, and if it’s in the morning, what is happening in your body overnight that causes some to have a bowel movement the first thing in the morning. Dr. Ken shares that while people should pay attention to their habits, he also encourages all of us to not overthink it. Constipation is typically a bigger issue than the time of day someone is having a bowel movement. If you’re wondering — once a day is a good daily rate to move your bowels, and make sure you’re getting enough water and staying hydrated.

Next question is about vitamin D deficiency, asking what symptoms for which to look, and the best ways to get vitamin D.

Dr. Jack Stockwell (www.forbiddendoctor.com & www.jackstockwell.com | Phone: 866-867-5070), a GAPS Practitioner and NUCCA Chiropractor, discusses the biggest concerns for health and medical news from a natural position over a Western Medicine approach.

He starts today’s episode with how chiropractors with a focus on upper cervical care can help with neurodegenerative health issues, how MRIs can assist in preventative care to avoid the need for certain surgeries, and the health of the brainstem and how it is imperative to pay attention to neck health. Dr. Jack shares that, when he gets to a Parkinsons patient early enough, he can help prolong progression of the disease, how he’s helped epileptic patients minimize their seizures, and how much better the brain works on a KETO diet.

Moving on, Dr. Jack dives into RFK Jr.’s removal of every member of a scientific committee that advises the CDC and pledged to replace them with his own picks, foods banned in Europe but not the US, why more than half of the American population are overweight, and the importance of safe vaccines.

Last, and certainly not least, Doug and Dr. Jack cover supplements linked to liver damage, but often times it falls down to how it’s processed. Many of these supplements — like ashwagandha, turmeric, green tea, garcinia cambogia, and red yeast rice — have been known for hundreds-thousands of years to be very restorative to the human body and part of the backbone of Ayurvedic medicine and Chinese medicine. Dr. Jack explains why it's important these supplements are food-based products and not food-like products.

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 discuss the biggest news stories in the medical world, starting with a focus on the good news that eating more fruits and vegetables has been found to promote better sleep, the brain-health benefits of cycling, and why high blood pressure is linked to developing Alzheimers and other forms of dementias. Continuing with the Alzheimer’s and dementia, Doug and Dr. Ken share why sitting too long can raise the risk of developing the progressive neurodegenerative diseases, and how too much time in your seat can undo any amount of exercise in which you partake. Next, the conversation shifts to biological aging on a cellular level, Eli Lilly’s acquisition of Verve Therapeutics, and the evolved thinking of cholesterol and that “good cholesterol” isn’t as good as once thought. Then, a push from RFK Jr. and members of congress to stop drug companies from advertising on radio and television, how to extend years on your life and age healthily (following a healthy diet like the MIND or Mediterranean Diets, regular physical activity, and cognitive and social engagement), a potential blood test that could indicate how long a person may live, and how the usage of marijuana dramatically increases the risk of dying from a heart attack or stroke. Oh, and there’s a new COVID-19 variant (AKA razor blade throat) with a very painful sore throat symptom.

Doug Stephan is joined by Elizabeth Miller to discuss the favorite weight loss capsules, Calotren, and why taking the capsules before you go to bed can have a positive impact on sleep. This isn’t a quick-fix weight loss product, but it has a huge 86% success rate in the first 90 days and it’s sustainable weight loss. After month 1, you’ll notice sleeping better and less joint pain. By month 2 you will notice some inch loss and pound loss with steady weight loss after that. There is no bounce back for weight, you don’t have to be on the product forever out of fear of gaining the weight back immediately like with most weight loss medications.

Dr. Jack starts today’s episode with Robert Kennedy Jr’s latest move to remove COVID-19 vaccination recommendation for healthy children and pregnant women, why so many refused to get these shots, and the harm it has caused some who have gotten the vaccine.

Plus, a strong encouragement to look at the full list of ingredients and understand what the vaccines you are getting, and giving to your children, are made from and possible side effects before blindly following suit because you feel you were told to do so.

Dr. Jack shares that the number of children in America with chronic diseases has grown significantly, from <2% to >50%, over the past few decades. To be clear, Dr. Jack is not anti-vaccinations. Dr. Jack is anti-unsafe-medical-procedures and is actively for informed consent.

Tuesday, June 17-  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 discuss the biggest news stories in the medical world, starting with a focus on the MIND diet and what it can do for anyone concerned about getting dementia, why the Mediterranean Diet tends to be a foundation for most heart-healthy diets, and why eating beans is beneficial for your health (and a deep dive into why beans are considered the “musical fruit”). Some of the brain-healthy food groups for the MIND Diet are green leafy vegetables, nuts, berries, beans, cold water fatty fish, and olive oil.

Next up, why exercise is as important as proper diet and nutrition, a new study shows exercise can be more beneficial than drug intervention for recurrent colorectal cancer, and post menopausal women are at an increased risk for heart disease and why eating mango can help lower the risk of dying from heart disease.

Then, diving into why nightshades, including tomatoes, have great antioxidants properties, but not everyone can tolerate nightshade fruits and vegetables.

The conversation shifts to the sleep habits of children and how it correlates to a happy family. Yes, a well-slept family is happier — and a happy family gets better sleep with research supporting a strong bidirectional relationship between family happiness and quality sleep.

Lastly, Dr. Ken and Doug refer to a conversation from last week’s Good Day Health program with Dr. Jack, where Jack said improper supplement brands do nothing but harm your liver and other organs — stating supplements from natural ingredients are far superior than synthetic supplements. Dr. Ken’s answer is more about everything in moderation, and why too much of the synthetic supplements can be harmful, but are not inherently harmful.
