Even if the only things you “grow” are silk plants, you will be interested in the remarkable results of a study that I will discuss with John Willard. Because we humans are so much like plants, we can learn a lot by paying attention to natural ways to support plant health and speed their growth. My second guest is a return visit by author Judi Zucker. In a previous interview, we covered many lifestyle and nutritional factors in preventing dementia. But, we just scratched the surface of The Memory Diet: More Than 150 Healthy Recipes for the Proper Care and Feeding of Your Brain, that she wrote with her twin, Shari Zucker. We will go into greater depth on how to eat/cook for brain health. (The sisters also wrote other books including The Ultimate Allergy-Free Cookbook: Over 150 Easy-to-Make Recipes That Contain No Milk, Eggs, Wheat, Peanuts, Tree Nuts, Soy, Fish, or Shellfish).Call the live show with questions at 1-800-281-8255.

Dr. Brian LeCompte joined me in the studio for the first of what I hope are many interviews. This interesting gentleman was trained as a surgeon, but felt the need to add many new tools to his little black bag. As an integrative physician, one of the treatments he provides at The Kotsanis Institute is “Prolotherapy with Platelet Rich Plasma”. It is a fascinating and effective treatment for repairing structural damage…for example to backs, necks, and other joints. My second guest was Certified Natural Health Professional and Weight Loss Specialist, Valerie Hall. If you picked up a couple of pounds over the holidays (or many holidays!), she recommends Body Regime to support metabolism, mood and appetite. Body Regime is offering a free bottle with the purchase of 2 plus FREE shipping.call 1-844-550-BODY (2639) today.

The Probiotic Cure. We now know that the microorganisms in our gut are a crucial part of our human instruction manual and that they control thousands of biological functions in our bodies. It is past time that we learned how to care for them because important varieties are disappearing and leaving illness behind.
