If it’s a healthy trend, he says we should just embrace it because if gets someone motivated or excited to improve their overall health it is worth it. Keep in mind that diets in general just don’t work. People need to use the latest scientific findings coupled with common sense to drop unhealthy pounds. Eating healthy, clean and exercising everyday is what makes us all a lean mean fighting machine.

The new trends include avoiding GMOs, looking at the new gluten free foods, and finding out what we should be eating and what we should not be eating? The Herbal Pharmacist, David Foreman explains which health trends you should try and which ones you should avoid including: gluten free products, veggies masquerading as carbs, algae omega-3, tiger nuts and watermelon and probiotic water.

Learning from The Herbal Pharmacist is a great way to get healthy. Join Mark Alyn on Late Night Health Radio to learn more about what’s trending in nutrition for 2017.

The US healthcare system is in sad shape…and no, Obamacare did not cause it. Nor will Trumpcare fix it. Both plans are flawed and unsustainable. The United States spends over $3 trillion per year on healthcare…almost $1 out of every $5 spent in the US is on healthcare. However we don’t have much to show for it. How bad is the US healthcare system? Here is a quick quiz for you to see if you can tell…

Who has better healthcare outcomes the USA or the war-torn country of Serbia?

FACT: According to the World Health Organization the United States has worse health outcomes (status) then war-torn Serbia!

There are many pieces of the healthcare system that are broken including:

The fee for service model of care. There is no relationship between cost of healthcare services and better health outcomes. The hospital “charge master” rates for surgeries and procedures- often times can be 300 to 400% more than what Medicare charges.

Medical schools are not teaching doctors how to practice lifestyle medicine to keep patients healthy… because they are largely funded by the pharmaceutical industry which teaches doctors how to diagnose disease and treat with pharmaceutical drugs. The solution involves a truly integrative medicine approach to patient care.

Integrative medicine is the combination of evidence based complementary and alternative medicine combined with traditional Western medicine… to provide the “best of both worlds” for patient care.

Conventional Western medicine is primarily focused on diagnosing disease in treating the symptoms of the disease with pharmaceutical drugs. Truly holistic medicine focuses on treating the individual and helping to stimulate their immune system to heal the body and mind.

Lets discuss the epidemic of diabetes.

14% of the US population has diabetes and 30% of them don’t even know it. That is over 44 Million people in the US alone.
38% of the US population has pre diabetes, and the large majority of them do not know it.
So that means 1 out of 2 people in United States has diabetes or pre diabetes. Ouch!
Here’s the good news! 95% of diabetes diagnoses are type II diabetes. This condition is reversible! Do you think you’re destined to have to shoot yourself with needles for the rest of your life? Do you feel trapped, and have you lost a sense of freedom that you had before you had diabetes where you couldn’t do what you wanted, it did not have to worry about you’re timing of meals and eating schedule? Do you have a family member that had diabetes and saw how the disease progressed into blindness, foot infections, leg amputations, kidney failure, dialysis three times per week (four hours each time) and early death?

Having a life with the complications from diabetes does not describe the kind of retirement that most people envision when they think of their retirement, and participating in their favorite activities.

Are you tired heading down the same road with diabetes and getting sicker and sicker? Have you tried what your doctor and diabetes educator recommended… and it failed?

Here is the solution to a life of freedom without Type 2 diabetes…IM Health Lear more at www.latenighthealth.com/getting-best-healthcare

Global TRASHformation: How to Save the Planet, One Piece of Litter at a Time

To most there may be little regard for what happens to the stuff we use once we’re finished using it, whether it’s a disposable plate, fork, bottle, straw, wrapper or cigarette butt. To some it seems that if it’s out of sight, it’s out of mind and of no further consequence. The reality is far from that. There are great consequences to one-use items.

Approximately 12.5 million tons of trash enter the oceans from land each year. The trash ends up in one of five gyres and continues to collect, circling around and around within the currents.

SusieQ Wood is committed to changing that statistic. She does this by picking up one piece of litter at a time and inspiring others to do the same. It’s part of her Global TRASHformation movement, consciously started in 2012, with the picking up of rusty materials in the streets and alleyways. The seeds for this movement came from her childhood where her father introduced the idea “leave the place in better shape than we found it.” During summer camping trips, she and her siblings had the responsibility of picking up all litter in the campground area before leaving.

In 2012, a few months into her rusted material collection, her art mentor asked that she paint something as social commentary. “I combined my love of landscapes with my new love of rusty, discarded bottle caps and created a mixed media work called “BottleCapius Litterous”, SusieQ explains. “The background is an oil painting of a sunrise and I used the rusted metal bottle caps and wire retrieved from the local alleyways and parking lots to create an image of a large, sprawling tree.”

SusieQ has made it her mission to pick up litter every day and typically will comb the area of beach by her condo. She realizes that with only her doing “the work” the impact can go only so far. She has partnered with local nonprofits to organize group projects and gives talks on ocean conservancy and the fact that self-care includes taking care of the home upon which we walk. She believes it starts with self-love.

Her collaborative projects involve collecting, cleaning and sorting of small littered objects and organizing them into upcycled art projects with group participation encouraged. One of her recent projects, in collaboration with local businesses and the nonprofit Trash-to-Treasure, was upcycling an abandoned 15-foot Cuban refugee boat beached in Fort Lauderdale. Called “All Hands on Deck”, the project involved about 200 people coming together to cover the boat’s hull with thousands of pieces of colorful plastic beach litter. That project launched her vision to de-litter worldwide, spreading the movement through media and action.

SusieQ is now working on ideas incorporating all art forms (dance, music, fine art, film) as a platform to identify, create and celebrate litter-free environments. She encourages individuals to visit her website, take the Global TRASHformation pledge and share ideas. “It’s all about working from the inside out and the ground up.” Every litter bit matters so make it a habit to pick up One Piece of Litter a day.

Improving Family Relationships at the Holidays, is it possible?

Is there anyone who wouldn't like to improve all of their relationships, whether at home, at work, or both?

And is there a better time to get smart about this than just preceding this festive holiday season?

Just as there are three dimensions of the physical world: height, width and depth, there are three dimensions of the interpersonal world: power, love, and mindfulness. How well we learn to navigate them directly corresponds to how well we live our lives, how happy and fulfilled we feel.

Human reactivity is the source of most of our interpersonal problems and pain. The 3 Dimensions of Emotions introduces the concept of working the triangle, a unique practice that provides a compelling yet practical road map that can help you move from painful reactivity to productive pro-activity in your relationships. And it works just as successfully for a CEO of a Fortune 500 company as it does for a parent struggling to communicate with a teenager. And for all other interpersonal relationships, too.

Mark Alyn discusses Family Relationships with Dr. Sam Alibrando, author of The 3 Dimensions of Emotions: Finding the Balance of Power, Heart, and Mindfulness in All Your Relationships, published by New Page Books, $15.99 softcover, $10.99 Kindle eBook.

Sam's spent 35 years developing his model for doing so and has successfully taught it to thousands of people. He's a psychologist, author, and speaker and has also made a career of transforming organizations by transforming its leaders.

He also explored Sam's 3-D model for doing this and asked him about managing difficult people, the three colors of paint people use in different situations, red, yellow and blue, about managing ourselves first, and about finding the dynamic balance of power, heart and mindfulness. The answers are fascinating. We can all learn from Dr. Alibrando's 35 years of experience.

Homeopathic remedies are centuries old effective tools to keep the body healthy and to fight disease. They are the first line of defense in keeping people healthy without harmful side effects.

The history of modern homeopathic medicine begins with a German physician, Samuel Hahnemann. But the homeopathic concept is thousands of years old, based on the law of similars. Hippocrates described this principle. Many cultures including Native Americans, Chinese, Greeks, Mayans and Asians used this law to provide and maintain health. Hahnemann was the first to organize the law of similars into a methodical medical science.

Governments around the world including the United States recognize modern homeopathy as a medical science. Other countries that recognize homeopathy include India, South Africa, Great Britain, Canada, Italy, Germany and many others. Like the pharmaceutical industry, there is an encyclopedia of homeopathic medicines indicating how to make them and what they treat. Backed by continuing scientific research, the pharmacopoeia of homeopathic medicines is regularly updated.

The popularity of homeopathy in America began in the early 1800s.  In Europe, royalty and common folk both enjoyed the benefits of this discipline. In the twenty first century, the use of homeopathic and natural supplements continues. Today, millions of people worldwide use homeopathic treatments to maintain proper health.

In recent years, the traditional medical establishment continues to battle homeopathic healthcare providers.

Late Night Health covers a variety of homeopathic issues with Theresa Dale, Ph.D., CCN. From health freedom and the right to choose healthcare alternatives, to researching a variety of health issues, Dr. Dale brings a new and fresh approach regarding homeopathy to consumers.

Dr. Dale has been involved in developing a wide range of products to build the immune system and overall health. She is an internationally recognized speaker and researcher. Talking with Mark Alyn, Dr. Dale explains the ins and outs of homeopathic healing for people of all ages.
