During this time, Julie and Ryan realized through nutritional testing that they were both deficient in Omega-3, a critical nutrient for fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum. They dug into the research and learned they were far from alone—up to 95% of women are deficient in Omega-3, and it's missing from the majority of prenatal vitamins. Ryan and Julie started Needed to meet their own nutritional needs and that of every mama-to-be. Julie is based in Santa Monica, CA, and is currently expecting her first baby.

"Music gives the human spirit a place to expand…a place to grow." – Guido Lamell In this very special conversation, Dr. Bob has the pleasure of talking with professional violinist Guido Lamell. They discuss many topics including Guido's incredible musical career and how important music is for children. There is a very special treat at the end of the episode that you absolutely will not want to miss. Enjoy!

Violinist GUIDO LAMELL joined the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 1979 under Carlo Maria Giulini, after having served for two years as associate concertmaster of the Louisville Orchestra and for one year as concertmaster of the Mexico City Philharmonic. Lamell has performed frequently on the Philharmonic's Chamber Music Society and Green Umbrella series, and has appeared widely as a recitalist and orchestral soloist. He particularly loves playing in small ensembles and has enjoyed playing chamber music in his home with some of the Philharmonic's guest soloists, including Gustavo Dudamel, Emanuel Ax, Lynn Harrell, Joshua Bell, Sir Simon Rattle, and others.

In addition, Lamell has been very active as a conductor. Having conducted various local ensembles for many years, he traveled to Kiev in 2000 with celebrated American violin soloist Eugene Fodor to record six concertos with the National Symphony of Ukraine. These recordings received critical acclaim and ultimately proved to be Fodor's last recordings.

In recent years, Lamell has been coaching orchestras and conductors throughout Los Angeles through the Philharmonic's Youth Orchestra Partnership Program. This continued on the Philharmonic's tour to Caracas, when he coached two of the El Sistema youth orchestras and gave a conducting masterclass (in Spanish) to a group of El Sistema conducting students.

In 2011, he produced and conducted Beethoven's Ninth Symphony at Walt Disney Concert Hall as a benefit concert for Japan earthquake relief. This concert was honored with a reward of the American Prize.

In 2012, Lamell was appointed Music Director of the Santa Monica Symphony and is active in his third season with them. He is excited about bringing Philharmonic-level ideals and enthusiasm to this orchestra in its 70th anniversary season. Visit smsymphony.org.
