The Debbie Nigro Show

I DO love 'Cracking Up' But Not Literally! So I've invited Corinne Furnari RPA CCN of Furnari Health says she has come across something revolutionary regarding 'new research' about osteoporosis. She joins the show today at 10:20am EST to explain...What it is. How it develops and what we can do to prevent or reverse osteoporosis without drugs! Corinne Furnari has been practicing integrative medicine for more than 20 years. She is a certified Clinical Nutritionist, part of the first group of clinicians to be certified in clinical nutrition in New York State, licensed Physician’s Assistant, graduate of USC Physicians Assistant Program and certified by the International Society of Cosmetology in aesthetic procedures. Corinne has developed in-depth expertise in women’s health issues. She also specializes in treating chronic conditions and creates wellness protocols for optimal health and anti-aging.

Contrary to what may people think, she says, osteoporosis is not a bone disease; it’s a total-body metabolic disease that will affect one out of two women in the US during their lives. Women with osteoporosis can experience fractures in hips or forearms, or small fractures in their spines, causing pain, shrinkage in height and an inability to care for themselves as they age. Osteoporosis is a preventable and reversible disease. Yet, we’re given no guidance on how to prevent or reverse this disease process. Taking calcium, exercise and drugs are recommended as our only options. Corinne says she's come across something revolutionary? If this topic interest you maybe you would like to attend her event in NYC on November 14th. The information is on the flyer below.

Ever Wonder Why We Call A Political Party a "PARTY"?

The Oxford Dictionary of Word Histories has this: party [Middle English] The early use of party was to refer to a body of people united in opposition to others, as well as specifically to a political group. It comes from Old French partie, based on Latin partiri 'divide into parts'. Got it?

If You Know Me You Know I'm Funny But I Don't Do Mean. EVER. If anything I lean toward kind. I don't have a mean bone in my body. There's plenty funny about the world that doesn't have to come at someone else's expense. I would NEVER book anyone known for insults and crude jokes on my show. EVER. However when I read in townvibe that Lisa Lampanelli, the comedian formerly known as (as of like a minute ago) “The Queen of Mean” went SOFT? ... I decided to let her on. (Sonofagunshe's stolen my tiara and is now going by 'The Queen of Kind'! We need to have a talk. LOL) Lisa says SHE doesn't have a mean bone in her body. OK so why the big change all of a sudden? Seems twice divorced Lisa has had quite a few life changing events in the past few years. Losing her Dad was tough . But her most widely publicized change was her decision to have gastric sleeve surgery. She lost over 100 pounds and has kept it off six years. Because Lisa knows she is not alone in her struggles with body image and weight she's officially quit comedy ( as of yesterday on the Howard Stern Show) and is embarking on her new venture "Lisa Lampanelli’s Losin’ It" which will have it's worldwide debut at the Fairfield Theatre Company on November 3. During the 90-minute show, Lampanelli and her cast of professional actors, storytellers, and other surprise guests describe what they’ve been through and how they maintain sanity while they’re “losing it” over weight and body-image issues.

“It’s not that I don’t want to make people laugh anymore, says Lampanelli , it’s that I want to see if I can help them feel better."

A large portion of the show’s proceeds will benefit the The Center for Family Justice, Inc. which provides critical support to people who have been victims of violence and domestic abuse.

Alrighty then Lisa! Now you're my kinda girl! You're ON! Listen LIVE from anywhere The Debbie Nigro Show 1490 WGCH at 10:20am EST

Seeing the Glass Half Full Doesn't Come Naturally To Some. And you Have To Admit - Staying Upbeat In The World These Days Is A Challenge for the most optimistic of us. So TIME.com Wants To Help. Shout out to them today and their piece called : to 6 Ways to Instantly Be a More Positive!

6 Ways to Instantly Be a More Positive Person, TIME

Trending Tuesday: FEMTECH = Female Entrepreneurs Using Technology To Find Solutions To Female Problems. A long time avid supporter of female entrepreneurs, I've noticed the 'femtech' category start to really pick up speed in the last couple of years particularly in healthcare. Women are getting the guts to create products they know women need and want that don't exist. Fi Bendall Chief Executive of The Female Social Network (TFSN) explained it well earlier this year in her piece for SmartCompany.com.au. She said, "It may seem blindingly obvious to state, but there is a tremendous opportunity for female entrepreneurs in femtech, but also more broadly in other industries where women’s needs and experiences have been diminished or ignored. That’s because not only is the world of investment overwhelmingly male-dominated, the design and engineering professions are also skewed that way too."

Bendall highlights the story of Danish female entrepreneur @IdaTin who created the period and ovulation tracker app 'Clue' in 2013 is widely credited with coining the term #femtech. In an interview with the The New Yorker Tin related her experience of pitching 'Clue' to early investors, who were almost always men. She received a muted response. Many of these potential investors said they would not invest in a product they wouldn’t themselves use. Tin persisted and eventually was able to launch the app, which would go on to be downloaded and used by millions of women across the world. (UH DUH Hello)

The uneasiness of male investors was evident to Tin, who thought the sheer size of the opportunity on offer would have been enough for them to overcome their schoolboy attitudes. “This was clearly not a niche product,” Tin said.

Consulting firm Frost & Sullivan’s report on femtech echoes Tin’s comment that women’s healthcare is not a niche concern. The report estimates femtech products have a market potential of $50 billion globally by 2025.

Uh Oh Now I’m Running Out Of Glue Too? Geezus it’s always something ! ‘Collagen’ is literally the glue that holds us together says my nutritionist buddy @jacquijustice . She explained, “We start losing our collagen in our 30s and by the time we are 70 we only have about 25%. “ I asked her on behalf of us all today on @debbienigroshow ...How the heck do we glue ourselves back ? She sent me this product she sells on her site JacquiJustice.com. This ‘glue’ apparently gives you better skin, hair, nails, and sleep, helps joint pain, keeps bones strong, improves digestion, and helps you lose weight . (I want to marry it ! ) 

To Have Children Or Not? Some Women Choose NOT. Ashley Brown is one. She wrote a book of letters to her imaginary daughter to find peace in her difficult decision to choose never to be a parent. After weighing the reasons to and not to for over ten years, Ashley realized that she needed to viscerally experience the bittersweetness of the reality that she’d never be a mother. “In writing to her, I was able to mourn all the things I’ll never get to say or do as her mom and celebrate all the things I won’t have to say or do,” says Brown. “And in sharing this experience and these stories, I hope others are able to join in acknowledging the wonder we all have about whatever path it is we haven’t chosen and the beauty in the abundance of ways we have to care for the life that exists all around us, parents or not.” Tune in to meet Ashley LIVE 1490 WGCH 10:06 am eastern.

Ever Seen A UFO? I have. Actually more than once and I've been fascinated by the topic for years. SO...you KNOW I got a UFO guy! LOL Gordon Lore, a UFO Researcher and expert on the subject has just published 'Flying Saucers From Beyond the Earth'. It's his own fifteen-year UFO odyssey through the 1960s and 1970s, the most formative research and investigation years of this constantly ongoing phenomenon. It is highlighted by his work with Major Donald E. Keyhoe, known as “Mr. UFO” because he wrote the first book and article on the subject in 1950, Richard H. Hall, and James E. McDonald, one of the premiere UFO scientists during the 1960s whose tragic death in 1971 left an enduring gap in the early history of UFO research and investigation. Lore was an uncredited scientific advisor to the late director Stanley Kubrick on his seminal science fiction film, 2001: A Space Odyssey, in 1967.

This new book gives the reader both personal and scientific insights into many perplexing flying saucer sightings and the author’s investigation and research highlighting their importance.

Tune in 10:20am eastern.
