Late Night Health Radio

Marveina Peters, a partner in Teresa Peters Executive Realtors, Inc., based in Inglewood, CA, is a committed foodie. She is equally dedicated to raising funds for the cure. She joins foodie Mark Alyn on Late Night Health to discuss the Susan G. Komen Los Angeles County Culinary Showdown.

She's been known to travel great distances just to have a new food experience, like the time she went to Siem Reap, Cambodia, to enjoy Cuisine Wat Damnak, Khmer French infused pan fried Sandy fish filet and barbecued duck.

That's why she was one of the first people to sign up to fundraiser for the event. It's a unique event, complete with celebrity chefs, and October 22 is the first time ever it will be held in the United States. And Marveina is extending a challenge to all other business people to do the same.

She's dedicated to raising funds for the cure due to the experience her then 26-year-old cousin, Alice Marshall, who was raised as a sister with Marveina, had with breast cancer. Alice became concerned about abnormalities in her breast in 2010 but her doctor refused to do a mammogram or biopsy because "she was only 26." In 2013, after her breast began to leak blood, a biopsy was finally done. Alice was misdiagnosed with Stage Two breast cancer. It was actually Stage Three. Thankfully, after treatment, she's alive and cancer free today.

This experience caused Marveina to be aware of the need for early detection and treatment where breast cancer is concerned. About the same time, she met Mark Pilon, Executive Director of Susan G. Komen Los Angeles County. Soon thereafter she joined the board and was just elected president of Susan G. Komen Los Angeles County. Her term began July 1.

So while Marveina has multiple strong personal reasons to be on stage competitively at the Culinary Showdown on October 22, she welcomes friendly competition from other business executives in Los Angeles. After all, it's all for an important cause. More information at www.komenlacounty.org

Jumping off a bridge is certainly taking a risk and it appears that risk taking is actually good for you. Science has shown that risk taking is actually healthy. Author Kayt Sukel takes a look at how risk taking can improve your health in her new book The Art of Risk Taking. Kayt joins Mark Alyn on Late Night Health to discuss her adventurous life and how risk taking has always been a major part of living for her.

While not advocating Bungee jumping for everyone, Kayt does say risk is a major part of life. Just walking across the street there is the possibility of being hit by a bus. Staying in doors and never leaving your home involves the risk of your roof falling down on you. Kayt relays a story about being with a friend when a car crashed into the front of the house. As we've said, risk is simply part of life.

The idea is to take risks that work to your advantage and actually your enhance life. Mark and Kayt discuss risk taking that can be the difference between missing out and making it big. To understand how to take risk, you need to set a personal definition. Everybody has a different view of what risk is all about.

Teenagers are more apt to risk, because it's part of learning and growing up. Older folk may not risk financially like they did when they were younger. Women, when not financial in nature, may be bigger risk takers than men.

Combining science with stories of risk takers, Kayt helps people reshape their lives by examining their lives and assessing how risk can work to make their lives better.

Kayt admits her risk taking has slowed down. As a mom (her biggest risk) she doesn't do the adventurous travel and extreme sports she once enjoyed.

In grocery stores, drugs stores and even Costco type big box stores there is an isle featuring incontinence products. A variety of diapers and pads are available to prevent leakage from showing or damaging clothing. And the problem is growing as the population ages. Late Night Health takes a look at the male incontinence with leading urologist Gary Leach, MD. Dr. Leach has written numerous articles in many publications about the problem. Currently Dr. Leach is the Director, Tower Urology Institute for Continence.

Incontinence, in both men and women, has vast psychological implications as well as physical issues. It's obvious that incontinence for both men and women is embarrassing. Not being able to control your bladder is not something people look forward to.

Dr. Leach examines the causes of incontinence in men with host Mark Alyn. One of the most common causes of the lack of control is a number of prostate troubles. These include cancer, enlarged prostate and even the surgical removal of the prostate. During surgery the can be damage to the sphincter muscles, which are supposed to contract to prevent urine from flowing out of the bladder. This damage results in some degree of incontinence and is very common after prostate surgery.

The good news is incontinence is easily treatable. There are drugs that can help along with surgical technology that fix the problems. Many patients report that the outcome from surgery fixes the leakage.

Regaining urinary control is a big deal. The common fear of patients suffering from incontinence is "I can't go out of my house because I don't know what will happen when I'm out." With the advancement of surgical techniques patients no longer need to worry.

“A lot of the weight loss advice that has been touted is based on flawed science,” says David Foreman, known as “The Herbal Pharmacist,” who started his career as a registered pharmacist and now uses his expertise in physiology, pharmacology and integrative medicine to educate consumers on cutting edge approaches to natural health and healing. “We can now prove that saturated fat does not cause heart disease, and full fat dairy products may actually help protect the heart.”

A new report from the National Obesity Forum (NOF) and the Public Health
Collaboration is demanding a major 
over haul in dietary guidelines stating that 
the low-fat and low-cholesterol message
 touted for the past 40 years, has resulted in
 an increased consumption of junk food and 
carbohydrates, which has resulted in 
astronomical obesity levels that show no
 sign of abating despite the best efforts of 
officials and scientists. One of the key conclusions of the 
NOF report: Evidence from multiple trials 
reveals that a higher-fat, lower carbohydrate
 diet is superior to a low-fat diet for weight
loss and cardiovascular risk reduction. The 
report says that processed foods labeled as “low-fat,” “lite,” and “low cholesterol,” should be avoided at all costs.

And a new consumer survey shows the confusion on carbs runs even deeper: 30 percent of the time Americans are unable to identify which foods contain the most starch, providing another insight into the obesity crisis.

David Foreman talks to Mark Alyn about how weaning yourself off of carbs can be the most difficult task on any diet, but, he says, science is now showing us simple ways to turn your favorite carbs into healthier ones so you can enjoy more, while absorbing less. Dave talks about some of the most popular carb-rich foods and how to change their composition to reduce the impact to your waistline.

Having a poor attitude affects life including your health. Being positive is not always easy. Life throws things in our way, but we need to adjust and figure out the best way to overcome obstacles in an upbeat manner. Traveling through life with a constant scowl on your face is not healthy for you and certainly not for the people around you. Having a poor attitude keeps people away as if negative energy blasts people, opportunity and health away. Work hard at staying confident in what you do and you'll find your way to a happy life.

The biosphere, the part of the earth where people live, is being attacked. The war against planet earth is either a natural occurrence or a deliberate act. It is yet to be officially determined. Dr. Hans Kluger, a biochemist, says we are in trouble as the earth is being poisoned. Kluger believes this to be a deliberate act for world manipulation via inducing (wanted or destructive) weather patterns anywhere in the world. The reason is the bottom line: more profits for the oil companies.

Some scientists knew about chem trails as early as 1996. Many have offered their thoughts and opinions to government agencies, but governments around the world have ignored such comments. Chemtrails are designed to reduce global warming, but some research has indicated they do not work.

The definition of chemtrails are chemicals, mostly aluminum, sprayed in the atmosphere at 30,000 feet.

Hans is concerned with a variety of environmental issues that he believes is damaging the earth. One his major areas of study are GMOs (generically modified organisms) that are harming farming and crops. Some studies suggest that GMO products are not save, even causing tumors on mice in lab experiments (note: Late Night Health does not like any research done on animals).

Mark Alyn talks with Dr. Kluger as he shares information about a wide range of issues concerning the impact of poor science on the lives of people throughout the world. His ideas to clean up the environment include the reduction of carbon dioxide production by reducing the use of carbon fuels (oil and coal). Next, increasing the use of clean sources of energy, from solar electricity, to wind power, geothermal and hydropower. And last begin a program of re-planting trees. Trees help to balance the carbon dioxide ratios decreasing global warming in a natural way.
