    Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload is Making You Sick - and How to Get Better Jul 11, 2024
    toxic-superfoods-how-oxalate-overload-is-making-you-sick-and-how-to-get-better

    If you’re eating a healthy diet and you’re still dealing with fatigue, inflammation, anxiety, recurrent injuries, or chronic pain, the problem could be your spinach, almonds, sweet potatoes, and other trusted plant foods. And your key to vibrant health may be quitting these so-called superfoods.

    After suffering for decades from chronic health problems, nutrition educator Sally K. Norton, MPH, discovered that the culprits were the chemical toxins called oxalates lurking within her “healthy,” organic plant-heavy diet. This book shines light on how our modern diets are overloaded with oxalates and offers fresh solutions including:

    • A complete, research-backed program to safely reverse your oxalate load
    • Comprehensive charts and resources on foods to avoid and better alternatives
    • Guidance to improve your energy, optimize mood and brain performance, and find true relief from chronic pain

    In this groundbreaking guide, Norton reveals that the popular dictum to “eat more plants” can be misleading. Toxic Superfoods gives health-seekers a chance for improved energy, optimum brain performance, graceful aging, and true relief from chronic pain.

    THE POWER FOODS DIET Apr 25, 2024
    the-power-foods-diet

    Weight loss is one of our top health concerns, so much so that we keep looking for good ways to lose weight, preferably a way that is easy, effective, and permanent. It turns out that, when properly chosen, certain foods cause weight loss, with no need for the deprivation and planning that most weight-loss regimens require.

    In his next book, leading nutrition researcher and author Dr. Neal Barnard reveals three breakthroughs that are supported by research, revealing that certain foods:
    1. can reduce the appetite
    2. trap calories so they are flushed away and cannot be absorbed, and,
    3. increase the body's ability to burn calories for about three hours after each meal. These breakthroughs make weight loss incredibly easy, without calorie counting or deprivation. This diet encourages people to eat, not to stop eating. Dr. Barnard also reveals that some of the foods we think are good for us can actually be harmful, like salmon, goat cheese, and coconut oil, all of which pass easily into body fat...and often overstay their welcome. To make it easy, Dr. Barnard will include a simple to follow meal plan that includes delicious, and even indulgent recipes which include foods we have often been told to avoid, like potatoes and pasta, so you can eat real food, and still lose real weight.
    The New Approach to Health:
    Using Power Foods to Cause Rapid, Permanent Weight Loss
    Scientists have found that certain foods trigger weight loss automatically. Unlike the usual approach to dieting which focuses on going hungry and avoiding the foods you love, the Power Foods approach encourages you to add specific foods that cause weight loss.
    Power Foods work in three ways: First, they trigger satiety, taming your appetite so that you naturally eat less. Second, they trap calories in your digestive tract and carry them out with the wastes. Third, they ramp up your metabolism, so you burn calories faster hour after hour.
    There are dozens of Power Foods, including common, everyday foods, like blueberries, melons, apples, and asparagus, as well as certain spices (cinnamon, ginger, and hot peppers). Blueberries, for example, get their color from anthocyanins, which have been associated with weight loss in research studies. Cinnamon contains a natural ingredient that boosts metabolism. Weight loss can be as easy as including these foods in your daily routine, say, with French toast made with cinnamon and topped with blueberry syrup.
    The Power Foods and how to use them are spelled out in the Power Foods Diet, the new book by Neal Barnard, MD, author of the best-sellers Power Foods for the Brain and The 21-Day Weight-Loss Kickstart.
    In this scientifically proven program, Power Foods do the work for you at home, at restaurants—anywhere you eat. You will never count calories again. And while exercise is always a good idea, the program works whether you exercise or not.
    The Power Foods Diet includes 120 mouthwatering recipes, from French Toast and Wild Blueberry Muffins to Creamy Chipotle Butternut Soup, Southwest Chili, and Pesto Spaghetti with Broccoli and Sundried Tomatoes. And don’t forget dessert! The Power Foods ingredients are built into Blueberry Pops, Triple Berry No Churn Sorbet, a Fruity Banana Split, and Carrot Cake. There are also plenty of tips for people who prefer convenience foods or who generally eat in restaurants.
    The approach is revolutionary:
    • Power Foods bring you a healthier weight, healthier cholesterol level, lower blood pressure, and healthier blood sugar.
    • Power Foods boost your energy, making you look and feel younger.
    • Power Foods let you end “dieting” forever.
    • Power Food allow you to enjoy eating again—at home or restaurants. No more skimpy portions.
    • Among the Power Foods are those under study for their ability to reduce the risk of cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.

    Hidden Chemicals Sabotaging Your Weight Loss Goals Oct 26, 2023
    hidden-chemicals-sabotaging-your-weight-loss-goals

    Are you having a hard time losing weight no matter what diet you try?
    Research shows chemicals in food, the cookware used to prepare it, and even the containers we store our food in may be the cause of the growing obesity epidemic. Exposure to these chemicals has been shown to interfere with the way the body metabolizes fat, which can lead to weight gain, even if you eat a healthful diet and exercise regularly.
    In this episode of To Your Good Health Radio, Dr. Friedman exposes hidden chemicals that may be sabotaging your weight loss goals and he shares what you can do about it.
    We hear about a common chemical used in plastics for food and drink storage that mimics estrogen and has been proven to increase fat cell growth, the biggest issue facing our nation is the childhood obesity epidemic, and how to read food labels for “hidden ingredients” that are linked to weight gain.

    let-it-be-easy-simple-ways-to-stop-stressing-start-livingLife comes with hardships. For some people being single is difficult, while for others staying married is stressful.

    Tips to Beat Stress Sep 14, 2023
    tips-to-beat-stressStress puts our health at risk, damaging our body’s systems and contributing to irritability, anxiety, depression, headaches, insomnia, and a myriad of other diseases and ailments.
    But, people can disarm the harmful effects of stress naturally and holistically. Dr. Bradley Nelson offers these six tips for beating the stress of daily life.
    1. Control what is in you. Eat healthy, live whole foods. The shorter the time from tree to tasting, from ground to gourmet, the more positive energy you will receive.
    2. Control what is around you. Stay away from chronically toxic people and situations. Stay off of negative social media.
    3. Eliminate clutter, physical and spiritual. Clean lines and open spaces in your living area can provide calmness and serenity. Purge yourself of emotional clutter like trapped emotions.
    4. Literally “ground” yourself. This concept is also known as “earthing.” You know that great feeling you have after a day at the beach? That is about more than a day of relaxation. Standing or walking in bare feet in grass, sand, or even on a concrete surface that is immediately above the soil can rid your body of ever-so-damaging negative energy.
    5. Embrace joy. As they say, “laughter is the best medicine.” Share random hugs and smiles. Think about all you have to be grateful for and share that gratitude. Keep negative energy at bay with positive thoughts and acts.
    6. Slow down and love the little things. Humans have adopted the rat race as a way of life, and it need not be that way. There is nothing and no one more important than YOU. Make sure you have sufficient alone time and use it to enjoy what makes you content. A walk in the woods, smelling fresh-cut grass, watching children play, a day of reading... The possibilities are endless.
    Listen as Dr. Nelson joins Dr. Friedman to explain why the best remedies for stress are all about kindness and simplicity. He also shares information from his newly expanded and updated book, The Emotion Code.

    If you're experiencing any of the following symptoms, the problem could be your thyroid:

  • mood swings
  • brain fog
  • depression
  • digestive issues
  • insomnia
  • hair loss
  • inability to lose weight

    • Your thyroid is considered your "master metabolism gland" because it is intimately connected to every bodily function.
    The first step in reversing autoimmune conditions, including thyroid issues, is to heal your gut. Eat lean, organic, pasture-raised, hormone-free meat and other animal products, as well as organic produce. Avoid endocrine-disrupting ingredients and compounds. Make sure you're getting quality sleep because that is when your hormones sync up and your body heals as a whole.
    Listen in as Amy Myers, MD joins Dr. David Friedman to discuss all things thyroid, including solutions and tips from her book, The Thyroid Connection.

    Food Sanity: How to Eat in a World of Fads & Fiction Aug 11, 2022
    food-sanity-how-to-eat-in-a-world-of-fads-fictionHas all the contradiction on diet and nutrition left you feeling frustrated and confused? Should we follow a Paleo diet and eat like a caveman or go with a plant-based diet and eat like a gorilla? Should we starve ourselves on the latest intermittent fasting diet, or go on a ketogenic diet and eat a lot of fats and low carbs? What about grains? Are they good for us, or a leading cause of disease? Do eggs cause high cholesterol or lower it? All this confusion is enough to make your head spin!
    It’s the reason why Dr. David Friedman wrote his #1 National Bestselling book, Food Sanity: How to Eat in a World of Fads and Fiction. For two decades as a syndicated television health expert and radio host, he’s interviewed hundreds of scientists, doctors, and best-selling authors hoping to share information to help his audience reach their optimal health. Unfortunately, each guest would contradict the previous expert, creating more confusion than clarity.
    While most health experts seem to disagree, there is one thing they all agree on, food has the power to heal the body or make it sick. The key is figuring out what should be at the end of our fork.
    In this episode, Dr. Friedman shares a common science meets common sense approach that puts an end to many of today’s food myths including:
  • You don’t need to drink cow’s milk for strong bones. In fact, research shows it causes brittle bones!
  • Beef doesn’t give us the protein humans require.
  • Fish do not contain toxic levels of mercury and can be eaten every day!
  • Eggs don’t cause high cholesterol, in fact, they lower it!
  • Cavemen were mostly vegetarians and forensic evidence proves it!
  • Grains (with gluten) reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, lowers blood sugar and aids in weight loss!
  • Counting calories makes you gain weight.
  • Salt (the right kind) isn’t bad for you. In fact, it reduces heart disease, lowers blood pressure and aids in weight loss.
  • Some vitamin supplements are made from toxic ingredients also used to make gasoline, nail polish remover, laundry detergent and ammonia.
    • This segment comes with a WARNING: Be prepared for some major “Aha” moments!

    patch-adams-md-living-a-healthy-happy-and-vibrant-lifeThe words connection, friendship, and laughter probably don't describe the relationship you have with your doctor. A recent Gallup poll found that most people feel dismissed or ignored by their doctors. They just don't have the time or interest in getting to know their patients.
    Then there are the excessive costs, which leave many unable to get the healthcare they need. But our guest today has spent his entire medical career putting into practice the idea that healing should be a loving human connection, not a business transaction. He has traveled throughout the world delivering a message of peace, friendship, love, and many of you may recognize his name from the Golden Globe award-nominated film Patch Adams, starring Robin Williams.
    Dr. Patch Adams graduated from the Medical College of Virginia in 1971.

    food-pharmacology-addressing-thyroid-disease"Food is one of the most powerful tools in your healing journey.” - Dr. Izabella Wentz
    As a young woman, Dr. Wentz was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease, which affects the thyroid gland and causes the body to attack its own cells.
    She is not alone. More than 35 million Americans currently suffer from Hashimoto’s—making it the country’s fastest-growing autoimmune disease. Many individuals with or without a formal diagnosis suffer daily symptoms, including chronic cough, acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, allergies, persistent pain, hair loss, brain fog, and forgetfulness.
    Unfortunately, many people do go undiagnosed (or misdiagnosed), compounding the symptoms and leading to the destruction of the thyroid gland.
    Dr. Wentz's book, Hashimoto’s Food Pharmacology, combines her revolutionary and proven approach to reversing thyroid symptoms with delicious, easy-to-use recipes that delight the taste buds while they heal the body.
    Listen as Dr. Wentz joins Dr. Friedman in this encore episode from April 2019 to discuss the damage Hashimoto's can do to one's body--and how you can use nutrition to mitigate the illness.

    hidden-chemicals-sabotaging-your-weight-loss-goalsAre you having a hard time losing weight no matter what diet you try?
    Research shows chemicals in food, the cookware used to prepare it, and even the containers we store our food in may be the cause of the growing obesity epidemic. Exposure to these chemicals has been shown to interfere with the way the body metabolizes fat, which can lead to weight gain, even if you eat a healthful diet and exercise regularly.

    Sound the Alarm: Jay Leno Discusses "Bad" Cholesterol and Its Link to Heart Attack and Stroke Dec 30, 2021
    sound-the-alarm-jay-leno-discusses-bad-cholesterol-and-its-link-to-heart-attack-and-strokeEvery 40 seconds someone in the U.S. has a heart attack or stroke.
    Lowering your LDL cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol) is considered the most modifiable risk factor. However, many people do not understand the connection between having high levels of “bad” cholesterol and their risk of cardiovascular disease. With cholesterol, there’s no warning sign. You don’t feel it, but it could lead to a heart attack and hit you out of nowhere.
    Jay Leno has teamed up with Amgen on Cholesterol 911, a national campaign that is aiming to raise awareness of and sound the alarm on high LDL-C, also known as “bad” cholesterol, and its link to heart attack and stroke.
    Jay is speaking publicly about his high LDL and urging patients with high bad cholesterol who are at increased risk for a heart attack or stroke to see the emergency in high bad cholesterol and to visit Cholesterol911.com to learn more about their risks and how to talk to their doctor about new treatment options.

    There's Something Fishy Going On Dec 23, 2021

    The FDA doesn't warn the public of the possible dangers of any other food -- just fish.

    Fish has been labeled as the "black sheep" of all foods. Dr. Friedman is here to tell you... there's something fishy going on with all these negative reports.
    In this encore episode from August 2019, he debunks these fish myths and shares why wild-caught fish is the healthiest food you should be eating.
    The Dirty Truth About Wine Dec 16, 2021
    the-dirty-truth-about-wineThe health benefits of wine seem to be endless.
    Research shows wine helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, lowers cholesterol, reduces the risk of cancer, and may even extend your lifespan. Having a glass or two of wine each day has even been recommended by the American Heart Association.
    But, unfortunately, there’s a dark side of the industry.
    Thanks to a lack of regulation on labeling, most wine sold in the U.S contains massive amounts of hidden colorants, pesticide residue, toxins, and excessive sugar. To say these additives are unhealthy is an understatement.
    A recent analysis found 100% of all wines tested in California contained high levels of glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup, the cancer-causing herbicide produced by Monsanto.
    Todd White, founder of Dry Farm Wines, joins Dr. Friedman to share the dirty truth about wine, from irrigation to fermentation. He’ll also discuss how you can choose healthy, organic wine so you get all the wonderful health benefits without any hidden chemical additives.

    extraordinary-awakenings-when-trauma-leads-to-transformationDid you know when a broken bone heals, it comes back stronger? More calcium is laid down in the matrix than before. In fact, you're more likely to break a bone that has never been through a trauma than one that has been broken and made a comeback.
    Our guest today, Dr. Steve Taylor believes this metaphor also applies to everyday life. When we break we tend to come back stronger than before! His new book, Extraordinary Awakenings shows just how we can harness the ability to transform through turmoil. This book showcases people that have been broken but made a comeback following intense hardships. We'll discuss resiliency, the process of bereavement, and rebuilding hope for the future.
    Dr. Taylor is a senior lecturer in psychology at Leeds Beckett University and the author of 13 best-selling books on psychology and spirituality.
    He's the current chair of the Transpersonal Psychology Section of the British Psychological Society. He's the author of 13 books, which have been published in 20 languages, and also writes blog articles for Scientific America and Psychology Today.

    Encore Episode: If You're Gluten Free, You May Not Have to Be Sep 02, 2021
    encore-episode-if-you-re-gluten-free-you-may-not-have-to-beIn his book, Eat Wheat, Dr. John Douillard, a former NBA nutrition expert and creator of LifeSpa.com, addresses the underlying cause of the gluten-free epidemic.
    Dr. Douillard explains that after 3.4 million years of eating wheat and only 500,000 years of hunting meat, humans are actually genetically better equipped to eat wheat than meat.
    He also discusses how a breakdown in digestion has damaged the intestinal wall and leaked undigested foods and environmental toxins into the body’s lymphatic system, causing “grain brain” symptoms and food allergies.
    Although eliminating wheat and dairy from your diet may help your symptoms, it is a temporary solution. Eat Wheat addresses the root cause: the inability to digest well and break down harmful pollutants and toxins that can lead to more serious health concerns.
    Listen as Dr. Douillard joins Dr. Friedman to share his research and why you might be able to add wheat back into your diet.

    encore-episode-howie-mandel-take-cholesterol-to-heart"If I can inspire people to talk to their doctor about their statin, that’s better than getting a laugh.” --Howie Mandel
    That statement is on the home page of the "Take Cholesterol to Heart" webpage, an organization Howie Mandel has partnered with to raise awareness about high cholesterol and the treatment options available.
    It's a critical conversation to have, with more than 100 million Americans affected.

He was prescribed a statin, which he took initially but then quit taking after experiencing some undesirable muscle pain as a side effect.
    A year later at his doctor's visit, his cholesterol was through the roof. He then began to really listen, now understanding that his time bomb was ticking.
    Howie joins Dr. Friedman in this encore episode from May 2019 to discuss how dangerous high cholesterol can be, why there's not just one statin, and the importance of talking to your doctor about cholesterol and medication options.

    Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine Jul 29, 2021

We have with us, Dr. Robert Lustig here today to help us set the record straight as a leading expert on metabolic health and nutrition.
    He's on a mission to expose all the misinformation regarding food and diet-related disease. He believes if we don't fix our food and change the way we eat, chronic diseases will prevail. We will bankrupt their healthcare and threaten the future of our planet.
    Dr. Robert Lustig is a neuroendocrinologist with expertise in metabolism, obesity, and nutrition. He holds a bachelor's in science, from MIT, a doctorate in medicine from Cornell University, and a master of studies and law from UC Hastings College of Law, and is an emeritus professor of pediatrics in the division of endocrinology.

    Encore Episode: "What's In Your Water?" with Dr. Friedman Jul 22, 2021
    encore-episode-what-s-in-your-water-with-dr-friedmanIf you’re constantly struggling with your weight no matter what diet or exercise regimen you try, the water you're drinking could be to blame.
    Chemicals called “endocrine disrupters” commonly found in tap water and bottled water can wreak havoc on your hormones, increase your appetite and cause fat cells in your body to expand. In addition, there could be toxins in your drinking water that have been linked to gut issues, food intolerance, autoimmune disease, and cancer.
    In the early 1990s, a legal clerk named Erin Brockovich received national media attention when she exposed chromium 6 in the drinking water of Hinkley, California. This contaminated water caused liver damage, reproductive problems, birth defects, and cancer! Julia Roberts won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Erin Brockovich in the critically acclaimed film. Even with the international press coverage of the water contamination and lawsuit settlement ($333 million,) the problem hasn’t gone away. In fact, it’s gotten worse! Chromium 6 has been detected in the homes of 200 million people in all 50 states.
    Americans spend close to 17 billion dollars a year on bottled water believing it’s a healthier option. Actually, the federal government places more purity, testing, and quality control standards on tap water than on bottled water.
    Capital One coined the phrase “What’s in your wallet?” In this revealing episode from January 2019, Dr. David Friedman answers the question, “What’s in your water?” He also shares which water filters are the most effective and the healthiest choice when choosing bottled water.

    Encore Episode: Metabolism Reset Diet: How to Repair Your Liver and Lose Weight Naturally May 27, 2021
    encore-episode-metabolism-reset-diet-how-to-repair-your-liver-and-lose-weight-naturallyThe path to becoming naturally thin isn't as impossible as it may seem.
    The hidden truth is that your liver is actually the key to a healthy metabolism. When it isn't functioning properly, it loses the ability to burn fuel. An overloaded liver can only store fuel as fat, which slows your metabolism and leads to excess weight gain.
    Even if you cut out sugar and carbs, you can still struggle with weight loss and high blood sugar.
    In Dr. Alan Christianson's book, The Metabolism Reset Diet, he provides readers the information they need to reverse damage to the liver in just four weeks. Once your liver regains its ability to manage your metabolism, you'll have fewer food cravings, steady energy levels, better digestion, and a metabolism that works optimally.
    Listen in this episode from April 2019 as Dr. Christianson joins Dr. Friedman to explain why liver health is so tied to metabolism, as well as how you can achieve optimal liver function to lose weight and get healthy fast.
    Encore Episode: Tips To Beat Stress May 20, 2021
    encore-episode-tips-to-beat-stressStress puts our health at risk, damaging our body’s systems and contributing to irritability, anxiety, depression, headaches, insomnia, and a myriad of other diseases and ailments.
    But, people can disarm the harmful effects of stress naturally and holistically. Dr. Bradley Nelson offers these six tips for beating the stress of daily life.
    1. Control what is in you. Eat healthy, live whole foods. The shorter the time from tree to tasting, from ground to gourmet, the more positive energy you will receive.
    2. Control what is around you. Stay away from chronically toxic people and situations. Stay off of negative social media.
    3. Eliminate clutter, physical and spiritual. Clean lines and open spaces in your living area can provide calmness and serenity. Purge yourself of emotional clutter like trapped emotions.
    4. Literally “ground” yourself. This concept is also known as “earthing.” You know that great feeling you have after a day at the beach? That is about more than a day of relaxation. Standing or walking in bare feet in grass, sand, or even on a concrete surface that is immediately above the soil can rid your body of ever-so-damaging negative energy.
    5. Embrace joy. As they say, “laughter is the best medicine.” Share random hugs and smiles. Think about all you have to be grateful for and share that gratitude. Keep negative energy at bay with positive thoughts and acts.
    6. Slow down and love the little things. Humans have adopted the rat race as a way of life, and it need not be that way. There is nothing and no one more important than YOU. Make sure you have sufficient alone time and use it to enjoy what makes you content. A walk in the woods, smelling fresh-cut grass, watching children play, a day of reading... The possibilities are endless.
    Listen as Dr. Nelson joins Dr. Friedman to explain why the best remedies for stress are all about kindness and simplicity. He also shares information from his newly expanded and updated book, The Emotion Code.

    Encore Episode: Germs Are Our Friends May 06, 2021
    encore-episode-germs-are-our-friendsWidespread fear of getting the coronavirus has made self-serve salad bars and all-you-can-eat buffets a thing of the past! In fact, the country’s leading buffet restaurant chain, Golden Corral is changing its format and removing its self-serve buffets. Many Las Vegas casinos have seen their final buffet days and so have cruise-lines. All this comes from a fear of touching utensils that others have touched. Considering people touch their cell phones (contaminated with 17,000 germs, including E. coli) and doorknobs, menus, elevator buttons, and armrests that thousands of people have touched, where do we draw the line?
    Dr. Anthony Fauci, a key member of the government’s coronavirus task force, recently announced that he recommends people should never shake hands again! Even when the pandemic is over, he says we should permanently cease handshaking and giving our friends a high five.
    If we allow ourselves to become germaphobes, this will lower our immune system and increase our risk of getting sick. Germs are our friends. We need them. In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Friedman shares why in this episode from July 2020.

    if-you-re-gluten-free-you-may-not-have-to-beIn his book, Eat Wheat, Dr. John Douillard, a former NBA nutrition expert and creator of LifeSpa.com, addresses the underlying cause of the gluten-free epidemic.
    Dr. Douillard explains that after 3.4 million years of eating wheat and only 500,000 years of hunting meat, humans are actually genetically better equipped to eat wheat than meat.
    He also discusses how a breakdown in digestion has damaged the intestinal wall and leaked undigested foods and environmental toxins into the body’s lymphatic system, causing “grain brain” symptoms and food allergies.
    Although eliminating wheat and dairy from your diet may help your symptoms, it is a temporary solution. Eat Wheat addresses the root cause: the inability to digest well and break down harmful pollutants and toxins that can lead to more serious health concerns.
    Listenas Dr. Douillard joins Dr. Friedman to share his research and why you might be able to add wheat back into your diet.

    -Michelle Bigerson, New Port Richey Fla
    “Back in high school in my health class we had a teacher that passed out all these little pieces of paper and he said we're going to find something out about you. Everybody put the piece of paper in their mouths. I was the only one in class that spit and screamed how awful it tasted. I would love to know what that was testing for.

    Encore Episode: Tips To Beat Stress Jul 23, 2020
    encore-episode-tips-to-beat-stressStress puts our health at risk, damaging our body’s systems and contributing to irritability, anxiety, depression, headaches, insomnia, and a myriad of other diseases and ailments.
    But, people can disarm the harmful effects of stress naturally and holistically. Dr. Bradley Nelson offers these six tips for beating the stress of daily life.
    1. Control what is in you. Eat healthy, live whole foods. The shorter the time from tree to tasting, from ground to gourmet, the more positive energy you will receive.
    2. Control what is around you. Stay away from chronically toxic people and situations. Stay off of negative social media.
    3. Eliminate clutter, physical and spiritual. Clean lines and open spaces in your living area can provide calmness and serenity. Purge yourself of emotional clutter like trapped emotions.
    4. Literally “ground” yourself. This concept is also known as “earthing.” You know that great feeling you have after a day at the beach? That is about more than a day of relaxation. Standing or walking in bare feet in grass, sand, or even on a concrete surface that is immediately above the soil can rid your body of ever-so-damaging negative energy.
    5. Embrace joy. As they say, “laughter is the best medicine.” Share random hugs and smiles. Think about all you have to be grateful for and share that gratitude. Keep negative energy at bay with positive thoughts and acts.
    6. Slow down and love the little things. Humans have adopted the rat race as a way of life, and it need not be that way. There is nothing and no one more important than YOU. Make sure you have sufficient alone time and use it to enjoy what makes you content. A walk in the woods, smelling fresh-cut grass, watching children play, a day of reading... The possibilities are endless.
    Listen as Dr. Nelson joins Dr. Friedman to explain why the best remedies for stress are all about kindness and simplicity. He also shares information from his newly expanded and updated book, The Emotion Code.

    Germs Are Our Friends Jul 09, 2020
    germs-are-our-friends

    Widespread fear of getting the coronavirus has made self-serve salad bars and all-you-can-eat buffets a thing of the past! In fact, the country’s leading buffet restaurant chain, Golden Corral is changing its format and removing its self-serve buffets. Many Las Vegas casinos have seen their final buffet days and so have cruise-lines. All this comes from a fear of touching utensils that others have touched. Considering people touch their cell phones (contaminated with 17,000 germs, including E. coli) and doorknobs, menus, elevator buttons, and armrests that thousands of people have touched, where do we draw the line?
    Dr. Anthony Fauci, a key member of the government’s coronavirus task force, recently announced that he recommends people should never shake hands again! Even when the pandemic is over, he says we should permanently cease handshaking and giving our friends a high five.
    If we allow ourselves to become germaphobes, this will lower our immune system and increase our risk of getting sick. Germs are our friends. We need them. In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Friedman shares why.

    The Healing Power of Music Dec 12, 2019

    Order Carnivora: Nature’s Nutritional Powerhouse -sponsor

    Music can help decrease chronic pain and lower depression. The right song can stimulate serotonin and dopamine levels, the body’s neurotransmitters that regulates emotional well-being. It can help lower heart rate, blood pressure, and reduce the stress hormone called cortisol.
    Joining Dr. Friedman is Bill Protzmann, an accomplished musician who has spent decades studying the healing power of music.
    Bill started piano lessons at three years old. He grew up playing and performing and realized very early on that the discipline of playing the piano was also a behavioral healthcare practice. After seeking non-traditional audiences, he began to understand the true healing power of music. This includes Alzheimer’s patients and people struggling with physical or emotional injuries, stressed-out business people, parents, and caregivers. In 2011, he launched Music Care Inc, a for-purpose corporation that teaches practical ways music can be used for self-care. His work has received an Award of Excellence by the National Council for Behavioral Health, the equivalent of an “Oscar.”
    He is a successful IT entrepreneur who holds magna cum laude degrees in piano performance and creative writing. He’s an Associate member of the American Music Therapy Association and a member of the Healing Music Organization.
    In this episode Dr. Friedman chats with Bill on how to use music functionally in everyday situations including:
    • Improve performance at work
    • Strengthen communication and relationship skills
    • Take better care of ourselves mentally, emotionally and physically
    • Combat depression
    • Aid in helping those with cognitive decline (Alzheimer’s and dementia)
    • Healing the mind, body and soul

    Encore Episode: Dr. Drew Talks Addiction Oct 17, 2019
    encore-episode-dr-drew-talks-addictionPain is a huge problem in today's world.
    It's how you deal with pain that becomes an even greater issue.
    Oral opiate addiction has steadily been on the rise in the last few decades. A whopping 90 percent of oral opiates are consumed in America.
    Why has opiate addiction taken such a devastating turn?
    According to Dr. Drew Pinsky, a movement began with the premise that pain was being under-treated. Pain became the "fifth vital sign." This movement gained a legal and political presence, and now, there is a giant philosophy that pain is what the patient says it is. There is no objective proof of pain.
    And, no good evidence exists that opiates are effective for chronic pain; they were designed for acute pain.
    Doctors have a massive responsibility when dealing with chronic pain patients. They must look at history of addiction or family history of addiction. Paying attention to potential abuse risks could mean the difference between life and death.
    Remember, addiction is a brain disorder. Just because you can't see it or cut it out doesn't make it any less powerful than something like cancer. It can also have a genetic link.
    If you're suffering with pain, there are alternative pain management methods, such as acupuncture, massage, chiropractic, etc.
    Listen in as Dr. Drew joins Dr. David Friedman to explain why opiate addiction is so prevalent.

    How to Achieve Healthy and Sustained Energy Oct 03, 2019
    how-to-achieve-healthy-and-sustained-energyOne of the most common afflictions impacting people's quality of life is fatigue. It's estimated that 43% of Americans are too tired to think clearly at work, make informed decisions, and be productive.
    It's not just the Baby Boomer generation that is feeling rundown. According to a study from the American Psychological Association, millennials are the most stressed out and tired generation.
    People of all ages are turning to "quick fixes," like caffeine, sugar, and energy drinks. Unfortunately, these can wreak havoc on the body's hormones and lead to an array of unhealthy conditions.
    There's a better way.
    Ari Whitten, an energy and fatigue specialist, joins Dr. Friedman to discuss his evidence-based approach to healthy energy enhancement.
