YOU: The Owner's Manual

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)

In this episode, It's our last News of the Week of 2021! Dr. Roizen talks about the latest health headlines that YOU need to know. 

 

The global workforce has a busyness problem. We’re overworked, overwhelmed, and operating at breakneck speeds. Every space on our calendars is filled to the brim, with no minute to spare and no moment left un-maximized. Urgency is the norm and immediacy is the gold standard. It’s no wonder that, as we emerge from the disruption of the pandemic and head back to the office, weary professionals are experiencing burnout like never before and 40 percent of workers globally are considering quitting their jobs.

For a workforce that was already fried and now completely burnt, continuing our current frantic work pace and pressure could have serious consequences for individuals and organizations alike.

With her new book, A Minute to Think, renowned speaker and executive advisor Juliet Funt presents a fundamental reimagining of how we approach work that meets the unique demands of the current moment.

She reveals the performance-enhancing power of the strategic pause -- periods of open, unscheduled time that allow us to think more wisely and creatively. These strategic pauses give our sparks of talent and contribution the oxygen they need to catch fire. When reinserted into our busy schedules, whether in short sips or long gulps, they can change the very nature of work.

From renowned ABC News anchor/correspondent and former insomniac Diane Macedo, comes a practical, user-friendly guide to getting better sleep. The Sleep Fix flips the switch on common advice, illuminating the reporter’s relentless search for how to get a good night’s sleep and the surprising, scientific, and practical solutions she found along the way.

Roughly 30% of the population is estimated to be living with insomnia, while many more unknowingly suffer from other sleep disorders. In The Sleep Fix, Macedo aims to change that with perspective-shifting research and easy-to-implement solutions based not just on science and experts, but also on her own years-long struggle.

As an early-morning reporter and overnight news anchor, Macedo learned the hard way how valuable sleep is, and how it affects everything from our heart to our brain to our immune system. The longer Macedo struggled, the more her health deteriorated. Desperate, she tried standard sleep tip after standard sleep tip, but nothing worked - instead, it made her worse.

Finally, after developing a tolerance to sleeping pills, Macedo decided to attack the problem as a journalist, interviewing sleep experts from all over the world to get to the bottom of what really keeps us from sleeping—and the various ways to fix it.
