This week’s show is about you—well, it can be if you call in with your questions. Our guest, Steven F. Hotze, M.D., is the founder of the Hotze Health & Wellness Center, Hotze Vitamins and Hotze Pharmacy. His focus is on the balance of hormones (including thyroid) in midlife. Dr. Hotze says “Chronic illness and disease are not caused by deficiencies of prescription drugs.” His 8-Point Treatment Regimen has helped thousands of individuals to be well and enjoy a better quality of life. He is the best-selling author of Hormones, Health, and Happiness and Hypothyroidism, Health & Happiness. As evidence of Dr. Hotze’s national prominence, Suzanne Somers dedicated an entire chapter to him in her New York Times best seller, Breakthrough. Call the live show with questions at 1-800-281-8255.

I’m finding amazing reports of how this improvement in micro-circulation supports cells and optimal organ function. It has even solved some serious health issues such as pain, bone healing and stroke recovery. (It is used by pro sports teams and is being tested by NASA.) He offered a complimentary first session.
