Dr. Ron Sinha: Surviving The "Covesity" Pandemic Jun 03, 2020

Show notes

Host Brad Kearns welcomes Dr. Ronesh Sinha, author of The South Asian Health Solution and publisher of the culturalhealthsolutions.com website to discuss Ron's unique insights about the Covid-19 pandemic. Dr. Ron goes beyond our obsession with germs and masks to describe how the health of our immune systems can greatly improve our chances of resisting the virus. He explains that your level of aerobic conditioning and whether or not you have inflammatory visceral fat will determine how your body responds to exposure from the virus. If you need some motivation to get in shape, and also to get outdoors into sunlight to make some Vitamin D, your ability to resist Covid-19 is a pretty strong incentive. You will love Dr. Ron's positive attitude about our ability to beat this pandemic, and how we could emerge with many positive changes in the way we work (no more morning commute traffic?!) and the way medicine is practiced. Be sure to visit Dr. Ron’s highly informative website, culturalhealthsolutions.com, read the article about when he affectionately calls the “Covesity" pandemic, and also download a free eBook titled, The Covid Survival Guide.

Gary E. Foresman MD May 11, 2020

Show notes

Elle Russ chats with Integrative Physician Gary E. Foresman MD about the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic: The virus details, the risks, how can you protect yourself, testing, and the nature of a potential vaccine.

In 1994 when Dr. Foresman opened a private practice, he quickly became dissatisfied with the inability of established Western medical treatments to effectively treat many of his patients. Dr. Foresman began investigating alternative therapies and has since expanded his training in many systems of healing—not just through meditation and stress management, but also using botanical, orthomolecular and functional medicine systems. His scientific mind combined with a holistic integrative perspective, makes him a skilled practitioner who therapeutically synthesizes optimal healing modalities for each individual.

Dr. Foresman ranked among the top in the nation on his Internal Medicine Board Exams and has some of the most comprehensive Internal Medicine training to be found – including serving as a Clinical Professor who trained other physicians at a University Medical Center.

In-depth commentary on thyroid dysfunction by Dr. Gary Foresman can be found in The Paleo Thyroid Solution written by Elle Russ.
