Today I discussed back pain. Ow! Why it happens, and how, and the different conditions that cause it. I talked about core exercises that I do to prevent it. Also ergonomics in the office. And great supplements! Magnesium, esterified fatty acids, fish oil, collagen, curcumin, ginger, bromelain. Also, making sure to stay hydrated! That can […]

After the shooting in Parkland, Florida, I felt that I had to say something on the air. Civilians possessing semi-automatic rifles is a public health issue. In countries around the world where there were mass shootings, access to guns was restricted and the number of mass shootings dropped precipitously. There are other reasons why a […]

I talked a little about the origins of Valentine’s Day, which aren’t so great. Like, did you know that the Romans celebrated the feast of Lupercalia from February 13-15, during which time the main took goats and sheep and hit women with them? The women would line up for it, because they thought it would […]

Today, Diane Dorfer was one of our guests. She lives down the road from Ron and me with her lovely husband Bryan Connolly and their two awesome kids, William and Cordelia! Diane and Bryan have this great farm, Cobblestone Farm, on Bassetts Bridge Road in Mansfield. They run a CSA out of it, and also […]

While it’s not good to eat sweet stuff ALL the time, we know yer gunna. So, I talk about a few different sweeteners and whether they’re good for you or not. It seems like aspartame is problematic. It can cause brain tumors, and at least brain damage! It breaks down into phenylalanine (not so bad), […]

Apparently, lists are all the rage. (You won’t BELIEVE #6!) So, I looked up the most Googled health questions of 2018, and answered them! Stuff like: what’s the keto diet? What’s opioid addiction? What is lupus? Why is coconut oil bad for you? (It’s NOT, unless it is!) What’s apple cider vinegar good for? Also, […]

Today I went into detail about the different weight loss programs people try and how if they’re too restrictive, they tend not to be sustainable, and I supported the idea of mindful eating. That most people need to move more and eat MOSTLY, if not ALL plants. Whether you’re a vegetarian or not, you SHOULD […]

We started off talking about the myriad of weight loss programs being advertised in every form of media: social, TV, radio of all kinds, even that old school deal, print! And how weight is a pressing issue in the US because >70% people have a BMI that puts them into that category. Before we had […]

I took a little jaunt to the local drugstore and see what they had for herbal medicine. I found some nuggets: you DON’T have to get Vic’s Vapo Rub which has PETROLEUM JELLY in it; there’s a couple of brands which have shea butter, beeswax, and coconut oil in them, and no petroleum products! Also, […]

Today’s Radio Naturopath did a Hurray for Justice since we have No Moore and Yes Jones in Alabama. I also remembered my father a bit, since this is the first anniversary of his death on December 13, 2016, and a little about grief. Then I went on to rant about the 10% success rate of […]
