After his own bout with cancer and surgery, Dr. Z. developed Five Proven Steps to Move from Diagnosis to Recovery and Be Healthier Than Before. Navigating his own health journey, coupled with the struggles, frustration, and confusion his patients have experienced in the typical healthcare system, inspired him to create unique personalized protocols focused on results. Rebuild outlines proven ways to both prevent disease and recover from chronic health issues or diseases.

  • N4L 041: "Grandma Gatewood’s Walk" by Ben Montgomery

    Grandma Gatewood’s Walk: The Inspiring Story of the Woman Who Saved the Appalachian Trail is the sensational true account of Emma Gatewood, the first woman to hike the Appalachian Trail (A.T.)

    Ben Montgomery, Gatewood’s blood relative and now Pulitzer-Prize-winning reporter, bases his New York Times bestseller on personal diaries, trail journals, newspaper articles, and countless personal interviews. We learn that Emma Gatewood “through-hiked” the Appalachian Trail not once but twice, and then a third time in sections—all after the age of 65 and each time alone.

    Literally and figuratively a trailblazer, Emma Gatewood provided vocal criticism that drew the necessary attention which very likely saved the A.T. from extinction.

  • N4L 040: "The Magic of Tiny Business" by Sharon Rowe

    In The Magic of Tiny Business, written by Eco Bags Products, Inc. founder Sharon Rowe, we learn "You don't have to go big to make a great living." Speaking from her own experience, Rowe tells would-be entrepreneurs how to build a profitable business without compromising personal values. Women especially like her advice: rather than fantasizing about going into business while fretting about going into debt, start by going tiny.

    As a young mother with a newborn child, Rowe was most concerned about putting family first. She wanted a flexible schedule, ample family time, work-free vacations, and financial security. This "less is more" approach also meant she wanted to give back to her community, to the planet. So, despite limited capital and business experience, even in the pre-Internet days before going green was cool, Rowe pioneered the reusable bag movement. In the end, she built a $2.2 million-dollar business of impact from scratch.

    The Magic of Tiny Business walks readers step by step through the process. Starting tiny, preparing for upturns and downturns, managing money, and being laser-focused on the essentials are some of the keys to Rowe's success. Listen to the podcast to learn more.
