Late Night Health Radio

Dr. Bruce Roseman, author of The AddictoCarb Diet (BenBella Books, Inc.) contends that we all have some type of food addiction and shares his insights with Mark Alyn that most people just don’t admit it they are addicted to certain foods! He discusses healthy diets and New Year’s resolutions especially dropping unhealthy weight with the Late Night Health audience.

Roseman, who is affiliated with Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, has identified 9 dangerous, highly addictive carbohydrates that stimulate the same pleasure centers in the brain that are targeted by notorious drugs like heroin and nicotine. Ingesting these carbs makes it almost impossible to eat in moderation and control weight gain, in the same way that hard drugs are extremely difficult to quit.
He is the first doctor to treat the overreliance on carbs as an addiction and his book provides suggestions for healthier food choices. It offers menus, recipes, and even mini-programs to “get back on the wagon” if a listener battling AddictoCarbs overindulges on occasion.

AddictoCarbs include bread, potatoes, pasta, and other staples of the American diet. Roseman highlights why these foods cause diabetes, one of America's leading scourges, and even lead to all types of cancers, including of the prostate and colon. His diet is not restrictive and allows reasonable portions of meat and fish and sizeable amounts of fruits.

Jennice Vilhauer, PhD author of “Think Forward to Thrive” visits the Late Night Health crew. Dr. Vilhauer and Mark talk about New Year’s resolutions - are they good or bad and why? Dr. Vilhauer also shares her thoughts on how to make good resolutions and how to keep them.
Is it truly your past that informs your life? Most people are stuck in reverse. Their memories of the past influence what they expect in the future and they act accordingly, which creates a self-fulfilling prophecy. They relive the past over again in their minds—thinking about and dreading what they DON’T want to experience.
In the landmark book Think Forward to Thrive: How to Use the Mind’s Power of Anticipation to Transcend Your Past and Transform Your Life Dr. Jennice Vilhauer, Emory University psychologist, says you can train yourself to set your sights on the future, which can be the actual determination of your life to come. By thinking about and visualizing the future, the mind begins to create the problem-solving steps and thoughts that can actualize what you DO desire, not what you fear will occur from your past. In other words, it’s time to step on the gas, and get out of reverse!

Soap opera director Sonia Blangiardo joins Mark for a discussion about how cancer effects a family. The Carlo Blangiardo Foundation (www.carlosgoal.org) for pancreatic cancer research was founded in 2010, shortly after her brother Carlo died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 35. He battled the disease for three years.

The foundation was started for a multitude of reasons. First of all, Carlo was an amazing person. He was kind and generous with his time, was caring and compassionate, and he had a love for all who crossed his path. I wanted his name to live on so that everyone who was lucky enough to have had him in their lives, and his two surviving daughters, one of whom was born after he passed, can always feel like a part of him was still here. This isn't too difficult, because when Carlo was in a room, everyone knew it. He was sweet and charming and was always capable of captivating a crowd big or small, with his sense of humor and overall light heart.

Pancreatic cancer is a cancer with no cure. Part of the reason is that it is nearly impossible to detect until it is in an advanced stage. It is one of the leading causes of death. Its symptoms vary and are very ambiguous – nausea, weight loss, jaundice… just to name a few. Its cause is also very vague. Factors like family history, diabetes, being middle-aged and smoking (none of which by the way fit my brother’s profile) are some of the few links to the disease.
When I started the foundation, I wanted to raise money and awareness in early detection. We need to find better tests so that by the time it is discovered, we can easily cease further development.

My goal is to make my brother’s name equivalent to Susan G. Komen in the pancreatic cancer world. I want his life…and death...to have had had the significance and meaning it deserved. The pain he went through as he fought this battle tooth and nail for three years before ultimately losing, is a pain I want to take away from others in the future. I know with complete certainty, he would have wanted the same.
