Episode 29: Gut Health in Midlife: How to Improve it with Dr. Kate Ricciardi.  Let's face it, no one likes to talk about constipation, diarrhea, heartburn or IBS.  It is a reality of life for so many people including our co-host Colleen so we need to open the conversation so people can learn and feel better.  We invited Dr. Kate Ricciardi of rdnutritionconsulting.com to speak about improving our digestive system and health, reduce belly fat and how to improve our overall inflammatory health.

Her system is called the Root Method and she explains the testing and procedures involved for her patients.  It can all be done virtually and usually takes about 4-6 months.  Please subscribe, listen and follow!

It is every parent's nightmare: a mass shooting where your child attends school. For Jeffrey Kasky, the nightmare became a reality on Valentine's Day in 2018 when two of his sons were attending school at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL.  We speak to Jeffrey about that horrible day, his family's experience, how he navigated the instant notoriety of his son, Cameron Kasky and how they are doing today.  Every parent should listen to his honest retelling of that day from a father's perspective.
