Dr Sue Varma joins Dr Friedman to discuss something we could all use a little more of—optimism. We live in a world filled with stress, uncertainty, and a never-ending stream of bad news. It’s easy to get caught in a cycle of negativity, feeling like things are out of our control. Dr Varma shares how optimism isn’t just for the naturally cheerful; it’s something we can train our minds to embrace—a skill, a science, and a practice.  

 Her groundbreaking book, Practical Optimism isn’t about wishful “glass half full” thinking—it’s rooted in real science and practical strategies that can help us not only survive tough times but thrive because of them. If you’ve ever wondered how some people are able to bounce back stronger after setbacks—or if you’re ready to shift your perspective in a way that boosts your health, happiness, and success—this episode is for you.

Over the years, Dr. Friedman has featured every diet... keto, vegan, plant-based, paleo, pescetarian, and the popular intermittent fasting diet.

But, there is one diet that consistently rises above them all -- in science-backed research, lifespan, and cardiac health. It's called the Mediterranean diet.

Research suggests type-2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, and stroke could be avoided by adopting this way of eating. And, the highly-respected ranking authority U.S. News & World Report has ranked it as the number-one best diet.

In this episode, Dr. Steven Masley, author of The Mediterranean Method, joins Dr. Friedman to discuss how to lose weight, prevent disease, and extend your life.

Sergey Young, a leader in the field and author of "The Science and Technology of Growing Young," explores the potential for humans to live up to 150 or even 200 years through advancements in gene therapy, organ regeneration, and lifestyle changes.

Judy Morgan is here to discuss her new book, Yin & Yang 2.0 Nutrition for Dogs: Maximizing Health with Whole Foods, not Drugs. The book has recipes for different health conditions in dogs - arthritis, obesity, heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, allergies, skin disease, lung disease.

Food can be used as medicine in place of pharmaceutical prescriptions and veterinary prescription diets that are made with horrible ingredients.

In her new book, Judy Morgan uses food as medicine based on Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine Food Therapy - using the "energetics" and properties of food to solve different problems in the body. For instance, heat is produced with infection and inflammation - food can be used to "cool" the problem. Phlegm (mucous, snot, thick discharges) can be dissolved with food. Damp (fluid accumulation in the chest, abdomen, gastrointestinal tract, or limbs) can be drained using specific foods. All this is explained in the book.

Every being has a "Constitution" or "Personality" - there are five Chinese element personalities: Fire, Earth, Water, Metal, and Wood. There is a personality quiz in the book to determine your dog's personality. This helps predicts which organ systems may get out of balance under certain conditions. Food can be used to keep the element balanced and that is explained in detail.
