Thyroid 101 | Dr. Izabella Wentz Apr 12, 2017

Show notes

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the lower front of the neck. It makes thyroid hormone which, in turn, goes into the bloodstream. This process creates energy and enhances the activity of just about every function in your body. It determines your mood, your skin and hair health, body temperature, blood sugar levels, hormonal function, and whether you're more likely to gain weight or lose weight. Today's guest is Dr. Izabella Wentz. She is an internationally-acclaimed thyroid specialist and licensed pharmacist. She's dedicated her career to addressing the root causes of why the thyroid can go haywire and just doesn't function properly.

Dr. Wentz is a New York Times Bestselling author. In her new book, Hashimoto's Protocols, she discusses the most common auto immune condition in the United States.

Dr Oz l Most Under-appreciated Problem in America Apr 05, 2017

Show notes

Today, I'm so excited to have on the show a man who needs no introduction...the one and only Dr. Oz. He has won seven Daytime Emmy Awards for "The Dr. Oz Show" and is Professor of Surgery at Columbia University.

On this extraordinary episode, you'll learn:

What is the single biggest cause of aging?
What is the single most under-appreciated problem in America
What you can do on a daily basis can extend your healthspan (that period of life when you're free from disease and you're thriving.)
What's the next biggest trend in medicine?
Plus... Short on cash? Find out if buying organic produce really worth the extra money?

Recently, Dr. Oz was here in Park City, doing a little skiing, and helping launch the Blair Education Center and the new Park City LiVe Well Center…a beautiful new addition to the Park City Hospital. It really embodies the community's commitment to preventing disease and promoting well-being.

He's a true pioneer and champion in personal wellness, and his plan, The Regimen, is a daily checklist that shows you what to eat, what to take, and what to do to improve your health now!

The man has more vitality than the Energizer bunny, and when we spoke recently, he talked about his latest passion, and single most under-appreciated problem in America.

Reset Your Hormones and Reverse Aging | Dr. Sara Gottfried Mar 29, 2017

Show notes

We've all heard over and over again that exercise is good for you. We've heard that eating vegetables is good for you. We've also heard that sleeping more is good for you. Despite all of us knowing these things, there are so many people who haven't shifted their patterns. You see, hearing a message doesn't necessarily inspire somebody to take action. What I've found through the years is that if you want to make a new habit, you have to bring a powerful reason for changing. Saying, "I want to lose 10 pounds to look better in my swimsuit" is just not a strong enough incentive or motivation to create long-term change.

Today, we're speaking with Dr. Sara Gottfried and she's going to share with us how you can reset your genes, reverse aging, and turn back the clock 10 years. Dr. Gottfried is a Harvard-educated physician. She's a speaker and the author of two New York Times bestselling books, The Hormone Cure and The Hormone Reset Diet.

Clean Skin From Within | Dr. Trevor Cates Mar 15, 2017

Show notes

It's a fact, your skin changes as you age. If you're like most of us, you've noticed more wrinkles, age spots, dryness, and sometimes even outbreaks of rashes or spots. According to experts, women are increasingly suffering from a phenomenon called 'sick skin," which is caused by stressful modern lifestyles, diet, and overuse of cosmetics and skincare products that are packed with chemicals.

Today's guest, Dr. Trevor Cates, says that your skin is a reflection of what's happening inside your body. Or as she likes to describe it, "your skin is your magic mirror," offering clues about your internal health. So if you had a weekend of splurging, perhaps a few too many glasses of wine or a sugar binge, believe me… it's going to show up on your skin!

In her new book, Clean Skin From Within: A Two Week Program To Glowing, Naturally Youthful Skin, Dr. Cates provides a four-step process to reset your body and achieve radiant skin. She shares some of knowledge with Kathy in today's episode.

Cure Chronic Pain | Dr. Joe Tatta Feb 08, 2017

Show notes

One of the highlights of doing the work I do is being able to meet people who are changing how we approach healing our bodies. And today's guest is definitely one of those people: Dr. Joe Tatta. He deals with a topic that impacts all of us at some time in our life: PAIN. Not the obvious discomfort that happens when you drop a 10-lb weight on your foot, but that mystifying pain that lingers.

I met Joe few years ago and I'm just so impressed by his passion for life and how he's helping people regain control of their lives by breaking the cycle of persistent pain.

Joe Tatta is a doctor of physical therapy, who specializes in treating persistent pain and autoimmune health issues. His new book is called, Heal Your Pain Now; A Revolutionary Program to Reset Your Brain and Body for a Pain-Free Life.
