Dr. Roizen talks about the latest health headlines that YOU need to know. 

 

The gravest health threats to the nearly 109 million Americans over 50 are heart disease (the nation’s leading killer), and Alzheimer’s (the most feared affliction that affects millions of families.)

· Incorporating exercise into daily activities

· Transforming the American diet into a healthful way to eat

· Building a healthy sleep regimen

· Managing stress, anger, and anxiety

· Creating opportunities for cognitive stimulation

· Bolstering your social support system

Listen as he tells us about his travels, practicing in remote areas, and how that unique knowledge has helped his practice.

In 2021, the Specialty Food Association (SFA) Trendspotter Panel virtually assembled to research thousands of specialty food and beverage products from around the world.

After recording their extensive findings, they settled on five trends that will drive the growth of the $170.4 billion specialty food industry in 2022, including pasta's comeback, plant-based comfort foods, and hot peppers. 

Jonathan Deutsch Ph.D. is a Professor and the Director of Drexel University Food Core Lab, as well as a Member of the Specialty Food Association’s Trendspotter Panel (SFA). He joins Dr. ROizen to talk about 2022 food trends, as well as his top restaurant picks in his hometown of Philadelphia.

In the early days of this podcast, Dr. Roizen shared the airwaves with his friend Jim Graham.

Jim joins us once again to talk about his new calling, bereavement counseling with his local hospice.

Listen as these old friends talk about how they met (at a baseball game in upstate NY), how he got into this work after his wife passed, the importance of finding help during this difficult time, and the 5 words you should never say to someone grieving a loss.

Instead of aiming for perfection (impossible) or changing everything at once (hard and never leads to lasting change), Gin Stephens' new book Clean(ish): Eat (Mostly) Clean, Live (Mainly) Clean and Unlock Your Body’s Natural Ability to Self-Clean cuts through the confusion and fear, showing how to lower your toxic load through small changes, smart swaps, and simple solutions, while still living an enjoyable lifestyle. The ish makes it doable.

Beyond looking at the harm that chemical additives in foods do to us, Gin explains how many of the personal care items and cleaning products we use are full of toxic chemicals, wreaking havoc on our health, often by decreasing the diversity of our gut microbes. Tips for simplifying cleaning products and homemade cleaners help reduce exposure to these toxins.

Gin is a New York Times bestseller and intermittent faster. In this episode, she joins Dr. Roizen to talk about her new book which comes out today! (1/4/22)
