Healing from Within: How PolarityBio is Rewriting the Rules of Wound Care

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 19:19:43 +0000

Dr. Ned Swanson, President & Chief Medical Officer and Dr. Nikolai Sopko, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Scientific Officer & Director, at PolarityBio, a late-stage biotechnology company developing regenerative multicellular biologics, specifically their lead autologous cutaneous cell therapy designed to treat complex chronic wounds joins eHealth Radio and the Health News Channel. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guests Dr. Ned Swanson & Dr. Nikolai Sopko discuss the following:

To begin, both of you bring strong clinical and scientific expertise to executive leadership. How have your respective backgrounds as medical doctors and researchers uniquely shaped your roles in driving PolarityBio through its late-stage clinical milestones?
PolarityBio has just reached a major corporate milestone with the submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) for SkinTE. From a leadership perspective, what were the most significant operational and clinical hurdles your team had to overcome to prepare this asset for FDA review?
The company is fundamentally focused on regenerative multicellular biologics. How did the initial vision for this technology form, and how has it evolved under your joint leadership?  
SkinTE is described as a first-in-class, autologous cutaneous multicellular therapy. In plain terms, how does using a patient’s own healthy skin biology differ from traditional advanced wound care therapies already on the market?
Chronic wounds like diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are notoriously complex and resistant to healing. What is the proposed biological mechanism of SkinTE?
Because SkinTE utilizes autologous multicellular units, it relies entirely on the patient's own tissue. What are the potential advantages of this autologous approach?
Your trial completed enrollment of 120 patients across multiple U.S. sites in just 14 months, significantly outpacing historical timelines for DFU trials. To what do you attribute this exceptionally fast clinical enrollment?  
SkinTE has received both Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) and Breakthrough Therapy designations from the FDA. How have these programs facilitated your interactions with the agency leading up to this BLA submission?
Looking beyond Wagner Grade 1 diabetic foot ulcers, what does your development pipeline look like for other complex chronic wound indications, such as venous leg ulcers and pressure injuries?  
SkinTE will be the first new biologic commercially available for a common chronic wound indication in nearly 30 years, if approved. As you look toward the conclusion of this FDA review process, what will this milestone mean for the millions of patients currently facing the threat of severe morbidity and amputation, and what is your ultimate vision for how PolarityBio can potentially reshape wound medicine?

Snuggle Shield: A Nurse & Mom’s Guide to Protecting Babies in Public

Nicole Noar, RN, IBCLC, the Founder and CEO of Snuggle Shield, an award-winning baby brand created to help families protect infants while traveling and navigating everyday public life joins eHealth Radio and the Infant Health and Health News Channels. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Nicole Noar discuss the following::

You’re a registered nurse, IBCLC, inventor, and mom. What inspired you to create Snuggle Shield, and what problem were you trying to solve for families?
Babies are too young to wear masks. What are some practical, evidence-based ways parents can help reduce their baby’s exposure to everyday airborne particles and environmental irritants while traveling and in public?
What are some of the biggest misconceptions parents have about taking newborns and young infants out in public, and what advice do you give to help them feel more confident?
As a maternal-child health nurse and lactation consultant, what are your top recommendations for helping keep babies healthy during everyday outings, doctor visits, shopping trips, airports, and family travel?
What has the response been from parents and healthcare professionals since launching Snuggle Shield, and what do you hope families take away from your mission?

SUMMARY: As both a nurse and a mom, I’ve learned that protecting our babies isn’t about living in fear—it’s about making informed, practical choices. Simple habits like washing hands, avoiding close contact with people who are sick, staying current with your pediatrician’s recommendations, breastfeeding when possible, and using thoughtful protective tools during higher-risk situations can all help reduce unnecessary exposure while allowing families to confidently enjoy life together. My hope is that parents feel empowered with knowledge, trust their instincts, and remember that small, intentional steps can make a meaningful difference. Nicole Noar, RN, IBCLC, is a registered nurse with more than 16 years of nursing experience in maternal health, certified in inpatient obstetrics, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, entrepreneur, patented inventor, and the Founder & CEO of Snuggle Shield. After becoming a mother herself, Nicole recognized an unmet need for helping protect babies who are too young to wear masks while in public settings. Combining her professional healthcare experience with her firsthand perspective as a mom, she invented Snuggle Shield to help families reduce exposure to everyday airborne particles, allergens, and environmental irritants while maintaining comfort, breathability, and visibility. Today, Snuggle Shield has earned multiple national awards, including Parent Tested Parent Approved (PTPA), NAPPA Awards, and Baby Innovation Awards, and has been featured by major media outlets including FOX 5 San Diego, KTLA, LA Living, LA Parent Magazine and Baby Maternity Magazine. Nicole is passionate about educating parents on infant wellness, breastfeeding, safe travel, and practical ways to help protect babies without sacrificing life’s special moments. Her mission is to empower families with evidence-informed education and innovative products that help parents travel with greater confidence and peace of mind.

You've spent over two decades developing the Emotional Posture® framework. What made you realize that emotions aren't just feelings, but measurable biological organizing fields?
Most people think of gratitude, forgiveness, or compassion as nice ideas, almost soft skills. How does your clinical and neuropsychological training completely change that understanding?
In your book, you identify six specific Emotional Postures: Gratitude, Acceptance, Ease, Forgiveness, Compassion, and Love. Why these six, and what's the science behind why they organize the nervous system differently than other emotional states?
You've worked with high-achieving executives, leaders, and women navigating extraordinary pressure. What patterns do you see in the Emotional Postures of people who sustain success, versus those who burn out despite talent and intelligence?

Stephanie Shorr, body advocate, longtime fitness professional, and best-selling author of Live the Health You Want: A Primer for the Care and Feeding of the Human Body joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Fitness Channels. Stephanie has spent more than five decades helping people improve their fitness, health, and longevity through practical, proactive lifestyle choices. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Stephanie Shorr discuss the following:

Your book encourages people to take a more proactive, preventative approach to their health. What first led you to start thinking about healthspan instead of just treating problems after they appear? 
You talk about being more “conscientious” about health choices. What does that look like in everyday life for someone who wants to start paying closer attention to their body? 
Gut health is a major theme in the book. Why do you believe the microbiome is such a foundational place for people to begin improving their overall health?
You emphasize that nutrition is important, but movement is equally essential. What are some realistic ways people can incorporate exercise into their day, especially if they feel too busy to work out? 
If someone listening wants to start improving their health today, what are a few small changes you believe can make the biggest difference over time?

TIP: One of the simplest ways to begin improving your health is to start paying closer attention to how your body responds to your daily choices. Notice how you feel after certain foods, how much energy you have after moving your body, how your sleep affects your mood, and whether your habits are supporting or draining you. You do not have to overhaul your entire life overnight. Start with one small, repeatable change, such as adding more whole foods, taking a short walk after meals, drinking more water, or stretching for a few minutes each day. Small steps, practiced consistently, can create meaningful changes in your health over time. Body advocate, fitness program director, and artist Stephanie Shorr mentors those seeking optimal health and longevity. For more than five decades, she has passionately helped people increase their fitness. Stephanie believes everyone can improve their health and engage in healthy lifestyles to help prevent degenerative diseases, premature aging, and loss of functionality. A gym owner for twelve years, she holds certifications from the renowned Cooper Institute in Dallas, the National Academy of Sports Medicine, and the University of Miami.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Paul Romness discuss the following:

To start, you bring a wealth of leadership experience to the table, and you are now guiding OS Therapies through an incredibly pivotal regulatory chapter. Could you share what personally drew you to this mission, and how your background shaped the company's laser-focus on tackling devastating, hard-to-treat solid tumors like osteosarcoma?
OS Therapies is described as a leader in gene-edited, Listeria-based cancer immunotherapies. For our audience, how do you harness Listeria bacteria to trigger an immune response against solid tumors?
Traditional therapies usually look for just one specific marker to target a cancer cell, but cancers can mutate to hide from them. OST-HER2 goes after three different markers instead. How does this triple-target approach prevent the cancer from escaping, and why is that such a game-changer?
Osteosarcoma is a devastating disease that often affects children and young adults. How does OST-HER2 work to prevent or delay the recurrence of these tumors after surgical resection?
The company recently reported positive Phase 2b data for OST-HER2 in patients with recurrent, fully resected lung metastatic osteosarcoma. What were the key takeaways regarding event-free and overall survival from that study?  
Looking at your broader pipeline, you are also developing next-generation Tunable Antibody Drug Conjugates (tADCs) using a proprietary silicone linker. How does this complement your immunotherapy platform?
If you achieve U.S. approval in 2026, OS Therapies would become eligible for a Priority Review Voucher. How does that voucher factor into your long-term commercialization or capitalization strategy? 
As both CEO and Chairman, navigating three major regulatory bodies (FDA, EMA, MHRA) simultaneously is a massive undertaking. What advice do you have for other biotech leaders attempting to harmonize global regulatory pathways for rare diseases?
If everything aligns as you hope with the FDA, EMA, and MHRA, what will this mean for the families and young patients facing osteosarcoma, and what is your ultimate vision for how OS Therapies will reshape the landscape of cancer treatment over the next few years?

Paul Romness is the chair, CEO, and President of OS Therapies. He leads the company with over 25 years of experience in the biopharmaceutical industry, having served in multiple functions at Johnson & Johnson, Amgen, and Boehringer Ingelheim.

A Contemplative Guide to Experiencing the Divine in Everyday Life

Colette Lafia, an award-winning writer, retreat leader, and spiritual director living and working in the San Francisco Bay Area joins eHealth Radio. Her new book is Leaving the Shore: Experiencing Poetry as Prayer. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Colette Lafia discuss the following:

Your book is titled Leaving the Shore. What does that phrase mean to you, and how did it become the title of the book?
When did you first realize that creativity was more than self-expression, that it was sacred? Was there a moment when you understood creativity as part of your spiritual calling?
Many of your poems begin with very simple, everyday moments—sharing a meal, sipping your morning tea, noticing the world around you. How do those ordinary experiences become doorways to recognizing the sacred presence at the heart of our lives?
How have you seen poetry become a doorway for people to discover their own spiritual experience?
You draw on many older contemplative traditions, yet you’ve made them very accessible for contemporary readers. What draws you to those traditions, and what do they offer people today?
You’ve been sharing your poetry in both online and in-person gatherings. What have you discovered through those experiences, and what are people taking away from them?
For someone who says, “I’m not a poetry person,” how can this book still speak to them?
If readers take only one thing away from Leaving the Shore, what do you hope begins to change in the way they experience their everyday lives?

Colette Lafia is an award-winning writer, retreat leader, and spiritual director living and working in the San Francisco Bay Area. She has spent decades guiding individuals into deeper contemplative practice through workshops, retreats, and one-on-one spiritual direction.

One of the most common reasons patients seek revision is capsular contracture — can you explain what that is, why it happens, and how you address it surgically?

For a patient coming in with older implants who wants to upgrade to something like Motiva, what does that revision process look like from consultation through recovery?

Jennifer Kaufman, a special education administrator, author of Grandparenting on the Spectrum, and founder of First Response Autism Solutions, bringing over 20 years of expertise to families, grandparents, and first responders navigating the world of autism joins eHealth Radio and the Autism & Health News Channels. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Jennifer Kaufman discuss the following:

You've been in special education for over 20 years and then your grandson was diagnosed with autism. Did that change anything for you, or did you feel like you already had it covered?
A lot of grandparents come into this with a picture in their head of what being a grandparent in their grandchild's life is going to look like. When that picture changes, it can be really hard. How do grandparents shift those expectations in a way that actually lets them show up better for their adult child?
What does chronic stress actually do to the body of a caregiver who has been at this for years and doesn't think of themselves as someone who needs help?
You also train police and first responders on how to best support autistic community members. What is the one thing that stops officers cold when they go through your training, and why does it matter to every family listening right now?
You wrote a book, you train first responders, you run a school. What do you want the average person who knows nothing about autism to walk away knowing after this conversation?

HELPFUL TIPS: If your grandchild or child has autism, get them in the water early. Swim lessons are not optional for this population. Over 90% of accidental deaths of people with autism involve drowning. That statistic does not have to be your family's story. Find a program, find an instructor, find a way. It is that important. The next time a child is struggling in public and your instinct is to wonder why they can't just behave, try replacing that thought with this one. They are not giving anyone a hard time. They are having one. That shift in thinking costs you nothing and it changes everything about how you respond. Jennifer Kaufman has spent many years working with children with autism as a school principal in northern New Jersey. She knows the IEPs, the behavioral supports, the family meetings, and the moments when everything clicks for a child who has been struggling. But a few years ago, her understanding of autism became personal in a way she never anticipated, when her grandchild was diagnosed. That experience changed her. Not her expertise, but her perspective. Suddenly she was the grandmother feeling the same mix of love, fear, and uncertainty that she had watched so many families navigate over the years. She was also the grandmother working to support her own daughter. It gave her something that two graduate degrees and decades of administrative experience could not: the view from the other side of the desk. That is the story behind her 2025 book, Grandparenting on the Spectrum: A Journey from Both Sides of the Desk, which speaks directly to grandparents who want to support their families but often don't know how. The book has connected with readers across the country who finally feel that someone understands their specific experience in the autism journey. Jennifer's advocacy work takes several forms. Through her speaking and workshop program, she addresses grandparent groups, family organizations, police departments and universities, focusing on practical tools and emotional honesty. Through her training company, First Response Autism Solutions, LLC, she works with law enforcement agencies, police academies, and campus security teams to prepare first responders for interactions with individuals with autism. Her trainings are grounded in real experience, not theory, and first responders consistently say they leave feeling genuinely prepared in a way that traditional training never provided. Jennifer has appeared on television and across numerous podcast platforms and is a recognized voice in the autism advocacy community. She holds graduate degrees in Educational Technology and Educational Leadership and is certified as both a Principal and Superintendent in New Jersey. She doesn't approach autism advocacy as an outsider looking in. She has built her career around it, raised a grandchild touched by it, and made it her mission to ensure that the people who love and serve individuals with autism have every tool they need to do it well.

Eric Kinkel, musician and Founder of Howl Moon Productions, Executive Producer of the documentary “In Search of His Lost Cords,” which chronicles Eric’s journey after brain trauma as he explores emerging AI and advanced technologies to help restore his voice joins eHealth Radio and the Brain Health & Health News Channels. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Eric Kinkel discuss the following:

Your documentary, “In Search of His Lost Cords,” follows your journey after brain trauma left you unable to sing and with limited speech. What exactly happened neurologically, and how did it disrupt the brain’s connection to your voice?
Your case raises an interesting question about how the brain translates intention into speech and singing. What have you learned about that brain-to-voice pathway through your journey?
After years of working with physicians and rehabilitation specialists with no improvement, you began exploring emerging science and even AI as possible tools to help restore your voice. What kinds of technologies or research are giving you hope?
For listeners who may have experienced brain trauma, stroke, or neurological injury affecting speech, what lessons have you learned about persistence, advocacy, and navigating the medical system?
Many people assume that if the vocal cords are healthy, the voice should work. Your experience shows that the brain plays the central role. What do you wish more people understood about the neurological side of voice and speech?
Your story is deeply personal, but it also raises larger questions about how medicine and technology might work together in the future. What do you hope researchers, neurologists, and the scientific community take away from your journey?

Eric Kinkel is an Illinois native, lifelong musician, songwriter, producer, and concert curator whose career spans decades of performance, composition, and community-driven music making. Musically inclined from the age of 12, Kinkel is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist proficient in piano, guitar, and bass, recognized for a deeply personal approach to songwriting rooted in melody, emotion, and storytelling. Five years ago, Kinkel’s life and career were fundamentally altered when deep brain trauma caused the loss of both his speaking and singing voice. After years of consultations with doctors, hospitals, and specialists that failed to provide effective answers or meaningful progress, he was forced to confront the loss of the very instrument that defined his artistic and personal identity. Rather than withdrawing from his life’s work, Kinkel committed himself to understanding his condition and pursuing a path forward grounded in perseverance, clarity, and purpose. That quest is documented in “In Search of His Lost Cords,” a deeply personal documentary executive produced by Kinkel that chronicles his pursuit to reclaim his voice through emerging interventional quantum-based science and advanced AI-driven technologies. Featuring rare archival footage and an intimate interview with Kinkel in his current condition, the film traces his evolution from accomplished performer to resilient seeker of answers, offering a powerful testament to perseverance, innovation, and the enduring human drive to reclaim one’s voice. Throughout the years leading up to his brain trauma, Kinkel built a diverse and respected musical career. He performed as bassist for the band Scepter, recorded radio commercial jingles and a syndicated movie review theme, and developed a distinctive compositional voice that extended beyond traditional rock formats. He later joined the local rock band Lost Nation as lead singer and co-songwriter, solidifying his role as a frontman and lyricist. In 1987, he released his first solo recording, “A Long Time Coming,” a ten-song album featuring eight original compositions, followed by years of live performances at nightclubs, coffee houses, private events, and speaking engagements throughout the Chicago area. His recorded work continued with a digitally remastered CD single released in 1999, featuring “Antique Spirits” and a rendition of the late Michael Peter Smith’s “The Dutchman,” and a deepening commitment to collaboration across folk, rock, acoustic, and Americana genres. Kinkel’s later performance work reflected an increasingly thematic and curated approach to live music, blending artistry with philanthropy. Between 1997 and 2004, he produced and headlined three major benefit concerts in honor of his late sister, Linda Kinkel, who during that time was bedridden due to chronic progressive Multiple Sclerosis. The concerts raised nearly $46,000 for Multiple Sclerosis awareness and support, uniting musicians across genres in a shared cause. In August 2010, he and his band Acoustic Thunder presented the “Inspirations Concert” at the Schaumburg Prairie Center for the Arts, featuring Grammy Award–winning artist Bill Miller and Chicago rock icon Dirty Dan Buck. The concert incorporated audiovisual tributes to Kinkel’s late mother and sister, with a portion of proceeds donated to the National Multiple Sclerosis Foundation. In September 2011, Kinkel produced a solo, three-set theatrical concert titled “Love Songs, Blues Tunes, and Memorable Melodies,” blending acoustic performance with guest appearances by notable Chicago musicians, including Dean Milano, Traci Abel, Patti Prendergast, Salina Norman, John Abel, and Bob Abrams of The Buckinghams. Beginning in 2019, Kinkel entered the studio to complete a final body of recorded work rooted in personal expression rather than genre, resulting in the release of songs including “Watching Clouds,” “We Are Even,” “Goldmoor’s View,” “Tracez,” “Nothing’s Wrong Song,” “Paradise On Earth,” and “Autumnal Way,” now available across major digital platforms. In addition to his philanthropic work, Kinkel is widely recognized for producing and overseeing the creation of a permanent memorial honoring Marion Dorothy Nugent, the late mother of rock musician Ted Nugent. Following a benefit concert held to raise funds for the project, Kinkel successfully produced and erected a four-ton monument that now stands outside the Durty Nellie’s music venue in Palatine, Illinois. Dedicated in 2007, the monument garnered national and international media attention and remains an enduring civic and cultural landmark—one of the projects for which Kinkel is best known within media and music circles. Today, Kinkel’s creative legacy and ongoing search for answers continue through “In Search of His Lost Cords,” which stands not only as a record of his past accomplishments, but as a living document of resilience, scientific exploration, and hope in the face of profound change.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Adi Jaffe discuss the following:

What are some biohacking practices that are more harmful than helpful, especially for your mental health?
Why is perfectionism and control drive compulsive health behaviors - and how do we recognize when “optimization” crosses into obsession?
How does elitism of extreme biohacking fuel shame and anxiety among those just trying to live healthier?
What is the false (or at least completely unproven) promise that drives biohacking marketing?
What are simple, sustainable steps to improve health without compromising our well-being?

Tip: Changing your behavior is NOT really about stopping that behavior at all; it's about uncovering, relieving, and redirecting the pressure that is causing it in the first place! Adi Jaffe, Ph.D. is the author of “Unhooked” and is a world-renowned expert on mental health, addiction, relationships, and shame. The founder of IGNTD Recovery, a Smart Personalized Adaptive Recovery System, Dr. Jaffe was a lecturer in the Psychology department at UCLA for the better part of a decade and was the Executive Director and Co-Founder of one of the most progressive addiction treatment facilities in the country. As a young man, Dr. Adi Jaffe’s battle with addiction nearly landed him a decades-long prison sentence. He now holds a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles, and has used his personal experience as an inspirational and motivational tool. Passionate about the role of shame in destroying lives, he’s made it his life’s mission to help reduce the stigma of mental health in this country. In addition to his blog on Psychology Today, Dr. Jaffe’s work and research have been widely published in both academic journals and popular magazines and websites. The best-selling author of “The Abstinence Myth,” Dr. Jaffe’s latest book, “Unhooked: Free Yourself from Addiction Forever” (Hachette Book Group), shares his shame-free, step-by-step program to destigmatize addiction using habit-change knowledge and tools to help readers ‘unhook’ for an addiction-free life. “Unhooked” is available everywhere you buy books.

Who is your target audience?
Tell us about your co-author.
Tell us about what led to your transformation later in life.

Feedback on the book has been incredible. People from all walks of life have opened up and confided in me about their problems, their family and friends. I have become an ambassador for mental health. It's not a heavy read. I aim to inspire and entertain. Its funny. More Ruby Wax OBE, author, actress, comedian and broadcaster who has depression and Sir Stephen Fry, author, actor, director comedian, broadcaster and quiz show host who has bipolar disorder. My role models. It is preventative. I warn you of possible triggers to avoid. Things that can press your buttons. We are vulnerable when we have had an episode. We are weak and need to build up our resilience. I show you tricks of the mind to put you in a more positive place and combat stigma. Meditation has worked wonders for me. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it! My sister and I went on a Buddhist retreat in Derbyshire, UK a couple of years ago at the Tara International Kadampa Centre. The tide is turning in a time of global crisis in mental health. I am calling for a more holistic treatment of body, mind and spirit. Family and friends can be supportive. They can also be tactless. We are the black sheep. Sarcasm can wound us deeply. Drink and drugs are up there too, of course. I was in Pub Watch. Banned from local pubs for unruly behavior. I talk about Food for Mood. The importance of diet. I lost 63 lbs with Slimming World. I look and feel great. The prescription drugs turned me into a fat zombie with the classic shuffling gait. I got kidney damage from being put on an inaccurately monitored dose of lithium. The book traces the historic abuse of the mentally ill. Patients were treated badly by an authoritarian and sometimes cruel regime. We are still looking for answers to Why Me. In 100 AD a Roman poet, Juvenal spoke of the ideal: a healthy mind in a healthy body. We are still asking the question How? In 2026. The book is both timely and timeless. Timely in a global crisis.

Fabian Calvo, Co-founder of BoomRx which is the fastest-growing national pharmaceutical technology platform that simplifies prescription sourcing and fulfillment joins eHealth Radio and the Pharmaceutical & Health News Channels. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Fabian Calvo discuss the following:

The pharmaceutical supply chain has faced unprecedented stress in recent years. What structural weaknesses did you see firsthand, and how is BoomRx redesigning sourcing and fulfillment to reduce vulnerability for medical clinics?
For years, pharmacy sourcing decisions were often driven by cost alone. What does true supply-chain resilience look like today, and how should physician practices rethink the way they evaluate pharmacy partners?
You’ve positioned BoomRx as a technology platform, not just a sourcing solution. How does centralized visibility and automation strengthen consistency, transparency, and predictability in pharmaceutical fulfillment?
Breakdowns in communication often create more disruption than product shortages themselves. How are you building systems that improve responsiveness and accountability between pharmacies and physician practices?
As health, wellness and longevity therapies and specialized compounded medications expand, what operational shifts must medical clinics make now to ensure they’re working with supply partners that can scale responsibly and compliantly?
If you could give physician practices one actionable tip to immediately strengthen their pharmacy sourcing and fulfillment strategy, what would it be?

Fabian Calvo is a longevity industry executive and pharmaceutical supply chain strategist who has built, scaled, and led multiple companies across the compounding pharmacy, API sourcing, and clinic fulfillment ecosystem. He currently serves as Interim CEO and Member of the Board at WellSync Rx, a longevity medicine and strategic sourcing company based in Los Angeles.

ProRx Pharma (2024) — A 503B outsourcing facility based in Exton, Penn.

Together, these companies form an integrated infrastructure for longevity medicine—from raw ingredient sourcing to compounding to clinic fulfillment—giving Fabian a rare end-to-end view of the pharmaceutical supply chain. His work extends into regulatory and policy engagement. Fabian has participated in direct discussions with FDA leadership, including meetings with Dr. Martin Makary, on issues ranging from peptide reclassification (the recent Category 2 to Category 1 transition) to the SAPIR initiative—the federal effort to reshore active pharmaceutical ingredient manufacturing to the United States. At BoomRx, Fabian is helping build what he calls "the only pharmacy portal a physician practice needs"—a technology platform that consolidates multi-pharmacy workflows into one system with flat-rate shipping to all 50 states, live tracking, access to 300+ medications (many with extended Beyond-Use Dates), and best-rate pricing. Outside of his operating roles, Fabian advises elite founders, executives, and high-net-worth individuals on longevity and performance optimization. He publishes “Long Live,” a weekly newsletter on the intersection of longevity, performance, and what he sees from inside the supply chain. He is based in Los Angeles County, California.

Why did you write this book?
In EmmaCare, you focus on an industry you know firsthand: the healthcare industry. How did your experience as a healthcare attorney drive this story?
Can you share why you decided to write this as a work of fiction?
What do you think is the most concerning result of the healthcare industry focusing on profits?
It seems like the toll on patients isn't always understood or focused on in the media. In your book a healthcare executive is the victim of a pretty serious (though thankfully not fatal) crime. It certainly has echoes in real life. I'm certainly not condoning the crime that took place, but were you surprised by the shooting of a United Healthcare executive?
Can you talk about any situations you witnessed as a healthcare attorney that you think represent the state of the healthcare industry today?
In your book there's a powerful through-line — that even the greediest executive is capable of redemption and changing their ways. Did you create that as a reflection of hope as to what could change in the healthcare industry?
The conclusion of the book seems like a powerful, very real potential solution for righting a lot of the wrongs in the healthcare industry right now. Can you talk about how you came up with the idea of an organization focused on advocacy?
What prompted you to leave an industry behind you were in for nearly three decades, and shift gears to become an author?

A common headline is that radon is one of the overlooked health risks. Why is radon considered that way. Why should people pay attention to radon today?

When you know what is happening in the home environment beyond radon how does that help you be more proactive, about your health?
Technology evolves. I wonder how the EcoQube Flex changes the way the homeowners monitor the environmental health issues and the way the homeowners respond in time.
When getting a new home, where do I start? What type of resources (i.e., EcoQube Flex) will help reduce the feeling of being overwhelmed while supporting one on their path to their home?
If there’s one simple mindset shift or small action you’d encourage people to take when it comes to their indoor health, what would it be — and how can greater awareness of things like radon make a real difference over time?

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Maria Artunduaga discuss the following:

For our listeners today who may be struggling with breathing conditions (or know someone who is), describe what you have invented, and how this could provide hope to someone struggling with COPD, asthma, or even long COVID?
As someone who has spoken with many people here in the U.S. who have COPD, what are the most common pain points you hear?
Thinking about expensive procedures like MRIs, CAT scans, and ultrasounds that exist today, what first gave you the idea to monitor the lungs with something as basic as a microphone?

She has raised $5.4M, almost 60% in non-dilutive capital from NSF and NIH, to build the Sylvee, an AI wearable sensor named after her grandmother that can provide COPD patients with continuous data on pulmonary function similar to what continuous glucose monitoring sensors do for diabetic patients. Artunduaga’s invention has been featured in numerous media outlets, including Forbes, TechCrunch, Bloomberg, FierceHealthcare and more. Prior to Samay, Artunduaga completed postdoctoral studies in Human Genetics at Harvard Medical School, started a plastic surgery residency at The University of Chicago, and completed two master's degrees, one in Global Public Health at the University of Washington and another in Translational Medicine at the University of California at Berkeley and San Francisco.

Healthcare teams are already stretched thin serving patients in their office, how do you propose they now address the resource challenges of time and money to invest in further communicating with patients between appointments?
E-commerce has shaped how consumers navigate the digital world from shopping to obtaining professional services. How has this shift impacted what patients expect from their doctors’ offices as well? 6. Trust seems paramount to the doctor-patient relationship.

Dr. Michael Compton, a Columbia University professor triple-board-certified in psychiatry, preventive medicine, and lifestyle medicine joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Nutrition Channels. He is author of Veggie Smarts: A Doctor and Farmer Grows and Savors Eight Families of Vegetables. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Michael Compton discuss the following:

What prompted you to write a book about growing and savoring veggies?
What do you mean by the concept of "veggie smarts"?
Marion Nestle (not Nestle as in the company), on the back cover, refers to your book as "endearingly quirky." What makes it endearing, and what makes it quirky?
What would you say are the top 5 most underappreciated vegetables?
I know that you offer lots of "free health advice" in the book, but for today, what are your top 5 pointers for a healthy diet?

Dr. Michael T. Compton is board-certified in psychiatry, preventive medicine, and lifestyle medicine—a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, a Fellow of the American College of Preventive Medicine, and a Member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. As a professor of psychiatry at Columbia University, he has a deep understanding of what makes people feel secure, content, and happy; he also happens to have expertise in healthy lifestyle behaviors and nutrition. Having grown up on a dairy-farm-turned-beef-farm in rural southwestern Virginia, embracing a whole-foods, plant-predominant eating pattern might not have been in his genes. But creating a garden with his two green thumbs from Granny definitely was. Attending college at Mary Washington, medical school at the University of Virginia, and specialty training in psychiatry and preventive medicine at Emory University took this proverbial boy off the farm, but as all who know the old saying might suspect, the farm had not been taken out of him. In a mid-life burst of productivity, he built a compact, organic-certified vegetable farm and got smart about growing and savoring vegetables.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Scott Spiro discuss the following:

Dr. Spiro, given the title of this podcast, you know the first question that begs to be asked, why the paradigm shift?
If I may interrupt at the point please describe capsular contracture.
So, we are in the early 2000s with sub-pectoral or sub-muscular implant placement and a decade dominated by textured implants. Continue please.
Implant laterization? Please explain further.
So it seems this was the test case for this modern day shift for cosmetic implant surgery?
Can you elaborate back on this "cohesivity of implants” what is cohesivity?
Ok, gravity is undefeated. More women are valuing the benefits of weight training fitness, generation 6 implants, are more highly cohesive, but what about the human tissue grafts you mentioned earlier?
Slowly absorbable meshes? Can you elaborate on that one?
And the results so far? Are you pleased?
May I ask again about the lateralization problem, how does pre-pectoral decrease that concern?

Demystifying General vs. Local Anesthesia

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 20:07:42 +0000

For patients who may be unfamiliar, can you briefly explain the difference between general and local anesthesia?
In your practice, what kinds of procedures are most commonly done under each type of anesthesia?
Are there any advantages to doing a procedure under local anesthesia when it’s an option?
What do patients typically want to know—or worry about—when they hear they'll be under general anesthesia and are there certain patients or conditions where general anesthesia is not recommended?
Do you have any advice for patients who are nervous about being awake during a procedure under local anesthesia?

Joining us today is Dr. Stephanie Teotia an acclaimed board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon based in Flower Mound, TX, serving the Dallas-Fort Worth area. In this episode, Dr. Teotia will break down the difference between general and local anesthesia and explain her pioneering in-office facelift, neck lift, and eyelid lift techniques that allow patients to self-administer sedation. Many people feel intimidated by the idea of being under general anesthesia because they worry about the potential of adverse effects. Additionally, general anesthesia may be especially risky for people with chronic conditions like heart, lung, and kidney disease. Local anesthesia is typically safer because it only numbs a specific area of the body, allowing patients to remain awake and alert during their procedures. Dr. Teotia’s in-office surgeries are more affordable than traditional procedures with fewer chances of complications. This conversation is your chance to learn how to remain in full control within a relaxed, comfortable setting.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Azja Pryor discuss the following:

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and so many moms are quietly struggling. Why do you think it’s important that we talk more openly about maternal mental health—and what inspired you to focus your work in this space?
You’ve educated moms and dads, and even NICU healthcare teams on the power of baby wearing. Can you walk us through how something as simple as wearing your baby can actually help reduce stress and promote emotional connection?
A lot of new moms love the idea of baby wearing but worry they’ll ‘do it wrong’ or that their baby won’t like it. What would you say to someone feeling that way?
Can you share a story—maybe a moment that really stuck with you—about how baby wearing made a difference in a mom’s mental health journey?
There are so many baby carriers out there—it can be kind of overwhelming for new moms. For someone just starting out, especially if they're dealing with postpartum stress or anxiety, are there certain types of carriers or brands you find really supportive or easy to use?

Azja Pryor, a CBWS-trained babywearing educator with seven years of experience, is passionate about supporting parents in this journey by introducing them to the transformative benefits of babywearing. Through her work with diverse communities, including collaborations with the National Birth Equity Collaborative (NBEC) and an in-person workshop for Alexandria House, that provides refuge for women and children experiencing trauma, Azja has seen firsthand how babywearing can be a powerful tool for mental wellness. The simple act of carrying a baby closely fosters emotional regulation, reduces stress, and promotes bonding, which can ease feelings of anxiety and postpartum depression. Beyond convenience, baby-wearing empowers caregivers by providing a sense of confidence, connection, and calm during one of life’s most demanding transitions. It allows parents to be present, both physically and emotionally, while also maintaining a sense of self. Azja’s expertise offers invaluable insight into the intersection of mental health and parenthood, making her an ideal voice for self-care and mental wellness to discuss how babywearing can provide emotional relief and resilience for parents and caregivers.

Joan K. Peters who got her Ph.D in comparative literature from The University of Chicago joins eHealth Radio and the Health News Channel. She's published a novel and two books about women and work and is a professor emeritus of literature and writing at California State University at Channel Islands. Her new book is Untangling: A Memoir of Psychoanalysis. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Joan K. Peters discuss the following:

What made you want to write a memoir of psychoanalysis, which is so personal and private? Why expose yourself in that way?
Everyone seems to go to therapy but you rarely hear anyone talk about psychoanalysis, what does it add to therapy? What made you choose it over therapy?
What will other people learn about themselves from reading about your personal journey through psychoanalysis?
How is your life different after psychoanalysis, and what were the great change agents in the process?
Do you feel psychoanalysis, as you experienced it, has something important to say about our culture at this time?

UNTANGLING: With the drama of a novel, Untangling tells the story of a transformative psychoanalysis, the first in-depth account by a patient. In Peters’ tempestuous twenties, a classical analysis quieted her recurring nightmares through a discovery of her family’s secret past. Decades later, her second analyst, Kristi, guided her through the frightening depths of that past as it played out in the intense strife and love in their relationship. In another first, Kristi writes an afterword about the challenge of analyzing Peters. Unique in its reach, Untangling reveals the inner workings of psychoanalysis and of the psyche.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Anna Levy Warren discuss the following:

Why is stress management so important to one's overall health?
You work with both adults and children helping them form positive habits and develop lifelong skills to excel in all categories of their lives, while also reducing stress and finding balance. Can you share with us a tip that can help listeners better manage the stress in their daily lives.
You talk about routines and how a routine can help reduce stress. Tell us about how sticking to a routine can help with stress management.
Last time you were on the show we talked a bit about developing a positive relationship with your calendar and embracing the benefits of organization. Share with us how this can also help with reducing stress.
For parents listening who have children or teens that might struggle with stress or executive functioning challenges, are there any added stress management tips that you have for younger people?

Tip: Defining pleasurable anchors to ground you in your day will decrease stress. Daily consistent anchors should associate with the beginning, middle and end of each day. By having these set moments that you can count on, your body can then feel the relief of the reliability of the known. These can be tiny moments like having a cup of coffee, looking out the window or taking a walk to get the mail in the mornings. A particular snack break where you enjoy your plants or an evening reading of a book or listening to music at a relatively set time (ideally moments should not involve screens and should be transferable to any location). You can breathe into these moments and build life around them to keep you centered, grounded and anchored. Anna Levy-Warren is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Organizational Tutors.

Thomas J. LaGrave, Jr., a bestselling author, former Navy SEAL, and licensed clinical social worker dedicated to mentoring and transforming the lives of adolescent men through education, healing, and advocacy joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Mental Health Channels. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Thomas J. LaGrave, Jr. discuss the following:

What issues are most destructive to our young people in today's world?
What is it that our youth need most to thrive in the modern era?
What can parents do to help support the mental health of their children?
Why did you write the book: "Special Welfare . Social Warfare - Adolescence to Adulthood, a Guidebook?
What can the older generations (The Greatest, The Silent, and Boomer's) do to help their grandchildren to thrive in our modern society?

Summary: The best approach for raising teens is authoritative parenting—balancing warmth with clear expectations. Unlike authoritarian control or permissive leniency, this style helps teens develop independence while staying grounded. Teens are highly influenced by social media and peer pressure, making parental guidance crucial. Studies show that youth with personal aspirations for adulthood—like career or family goals—are far less likely to engage in risky behaviors. Encourage open conversations, set clear expectations, and support their dreams. It’s the best way to guide them toward a successful, responsible adulthood. Thomas J. LaGrave Jr. is a bestselling author, licensed clinical social worker, and the founder of HonorBound Academy, a year-long immersive program based in Sonoma, California, dedicated to the education, healing, and mentorship of adolescent men. A former medical corpsman with the U.S. Navy SEALs, LaGrave has spent over 35 years working with more than 3,000 young men, specializing in the psychological and developmental challenges of adolescence and the transition to adulthood. A recovering addict and alcoholic for more than three decades, LaGrave draws from his personal journey and extensive professional background to offer deep insight into the complex struggles facing today’s youth. His latest book, Special Welfare, Social Warfare, launched in November and follows his earlier work, The Bell Tolls For Thee: A Soliloquy. LaGrave’s career spans hospital work, adolescent mental health, addiction recovery, and youth incarceration programs.

How can you get exes to stop badmouthing each other? Do most people even know what badmouthing is? 
Why is badmouthing so harmful for the children — what message does it send that co-parents miss? 
When a child confides in one of their parents and asks them not to tell the other one, should that request be honored? What's more important — gaining the child's trust by keeping the secret, or keeping communication open between co-parents?
What happens when a judge issues a decision in a divorce or a separation — for instance about keeping to a rigid schedule — but it just doesn't always work for the co-parents?
What does "put your children first" really mean?
What if one co-parent starts dating again — should they tell the other parent?
If a co-parent wants to share that they've met someone important, who should they tell first — their children, or the other parent, and why?
Is there a single factor that can make blending the family more successful?
You coined the term "bonus family" — what does that mean, and why do you want people to use that instead of "step family"?
Many co-parents need some help with communication. What are some words to watch out for — that may seem they should promote positive communication, but in fact, they don't help?
What's a good strategy for co-parents who feel like they should be done trying to problem-solve together, but really still have challenges to face when it comes to the children? How do you convince them to work together?

Dr. Jann Blackstone specializes in child custody, co-parenting, divorce, and step family mediation.

How does EyeCare4Kids provide services to under-resourced children and their families?
Can you share a story of the impact your organization has on your patients? What are some of the immediate and longer-term benefits?
How can people learn more about EyeCare4Kids?

Summary: Studies show that good vision is vital to a child’s success at school, among peers, and to participate in extracurricular activities. However, 1 in 4 children in the United States have imperfect vision in the United States, which is a problem given that 80 percent of a child's learning happening through the eyes. Further, vision problems are more than double than the national average in high-poverty neighborhoods. My advice to parents is to make sure that vision care is part of your child’s annual list of check-ups, either by visiting EyeCare4Kids directly, or finding a similar resource in your community. A board-certified optician since 1975, Joseph Carbone is the founder and president of the non-profit organization, EyeCare4Kids™. Focused on rural and underserved areas, including indigenous, immigrant, and refugee communities mostly in Utah, Arizona, Idaho, New Mexico, and Nevada, with plans to expand into California and New Jersey, EyeCare4Kids provides professional eye care to low-income, visually impaired children and underserved families through five community-based clinics, annual school-based clinics, and a mobile vision van that travels to community locations across the southwest. Since its founding in 2001, the organization has helped more than 400,000 children whose families cannot afford or face barriers to seeking out regular eye exams and corrective glasses, when needed.

Is that what “Auto Augmentation” means?
How did you arrive at this technique?
Again, who would benefit from this procedure and who would NOT be a candidate?
I have heard that fat grafting or fat transfer can be used to enhance breasts without implants. How does that figure into your treatment of Auto Augmentation?
Are there any negatives risks of fat transfer to the breast?
So, it sounds like Dermoglandular Flap Auto Augmentation Mastopexy is a more predictable operation than fat grafting?
Are there any other embellishments to this procedure that you offer your patients?
I remember you saying on a previous podcast about the treatment of breast implant illness where you employ this approach for those patients as well.
How long is the duration of the surgery and how long Is recovery?

James Marsh, CEO of The SleepVibe, a compact sleep aid that enhances deep sleep without needing headphones or audible sound joins eHealth Radio and the Health News, Sleep Health and Technology Channels. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest James Marsh discuss the following:

I understand you are an engineer who was caring for a family member facing sleep disruptions. What are the harms and dangers of sleep issues?
You came up with two technologies to create SleepVibe. Can you describe how does the technology work? What can people expect once they turn it on?
Who would benefit from this technology aside from those with disruption or lack of sleep?
How does a patient using SleepVibe know if the aid works? What have users told you how they have benefited from your invention so far?
Where can folks facing this issue get more information?

In 2020, a devoted husband invented SleepVibe to help his wife who was suffering from a debilitating neurological disorder, and only getting 1–3 hours of sleep per night. The lack of sleep, on top of the challenging disorder, made her days even harder. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, it was extremely difficult and essentially impossible to get needed caregivers, he was up 1-3 hours a night for months on end. In desperation, by combining variations of existing tech, Founder Jim Marsh created the SleepVibe. By using Binaural Beats Technology and a low-voltage, low-frequency field, similar to Earth’s natural frequencies, he was able to help her sleep more deeply. In addition, it helped him get better sleep in the time he had available. Through his own experience, James experienced the negative impact a lack of adequate sleep can have on patients, caregivers, and in general. Through discussions with many people suffering from lack of sleep, SleepVibe Inc. was created with the mission of helping people get better, deeper, more restorative sleep so they can enjoy and live a fulfilling life.

What advice do you have for anyone going to see a doctor or using an urgent care or any other provider today?

Matt Ungs founded Patient Fairness after a nearly three-decades career at health plans negotiating with hospitals, physicians and other medical providers to participate in insurance networks. Over the years, he observed that medical providers and health insurers were thriving as medical prices and insurance premiums soared. Patients and the public suffer because they fund provider and insurer prosperity through higher medical bills, employer benefit costs and direct insurance premiums. Worse yet, medical providers and health insurers use patients as collateral as they fight over pieces of the prosperity pie, while the patients are stuck in the middle with surprise medical bills and unaffordable charges.

How many people manage to eat like this alongside the stress of work and family commitments?
So What is Biogena One, beyond being a green smoothie in powder form?

In the meantime, platforms are already actively approaching BIOGENA. They are primarily known for over 260 premium micronutrient preparations, which are manufactured at their company site according to the pure substance principle with the highest safety and quality criteria.

Osteoporosis prophylaxis, medical diagnostics and medical beauty round off their portfolio. They will also be focusing intensively on the topic of stress in the coming months.

I know you are closely involved in Axiom’s Substance Use Disorder Urgent Care. Tell me more about this. What is it and who is it for?
Substance Abuse not only affects the individual, it can take a toll on the entire family. What advice do you give to people who have a loved one either struggling with substance abuse or about to enter treatment?

With an inspiring redemption story from methamphetamine addiction and prison to a long-term recovery and a successful career, Christi Kleckner is the embodiment of empathetic care. Christi serves as the Executive Director at Axiom Care, showing up every day with a passion to care for the patients. Christi knows first-hand just how hard (and just how rewarding) it is to be in recovery. Christi struggled with a methamphetamine addiction that took almost everything from her, and spent a lot of time in and out of jail. Christi’s history of substance use is not unlike most in Arizona, as methamphetamine is the state’s number one drug threat (especially as street prices drop). She proudly shares her Department of Corrections (DOC) number because it makes her relatable to many others in recovery looking for their second chance as well. Christi experienced the apathetic care that most recovery centers give and was even told, “You’ll be back here” while in jail. Eventually, being abstinent from drugs, she began working as a graveyard Behavioral Health Technician for a recovery center. However, it seemed that not enough people cared about the patients or their jobs – just the paycheck that came with it. Until she found Axiom Care. Christi seamlessly aligned with Axiom Care’s passion for holistic, long-term care and seeing patients find their second chances. Her personal experiences supported her in forming her leadership style and finding new ways to make a difference daily. Christi is passionate about transforming lives and reshaping the landscape of substance use treatment.

Fire, Air, Water & Earth: Renew Your Body’s Health & Your Mental Balance

Tue, 05 Mar 2024 22:07:54 +0000

Dr. Howard Walsdorf, or Dr. W., a veteran chiropractic and natural healer, author and expert in the ancient wisdom of the four elements and natural living joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Chiropractic Channels. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Howard Walsdorf discuss the following:

You’re a holistic chiropractor - how did you get into this four element way of seeing things? 
What exactly are the four elements and why do you think they’re so important that you’ve been researching – and integrating them into your practice for over 30 years? 
How are they relevant for us today, as individuals and a society?
Can you offer some examples of how knowing about Earth, Water, Air and Fire as elements (or principles) may help our listeners?

Summary: Look at how so many people around you walk with their heads forward to the top of their shoulders. The single most thing you can do for brain health and overall wellness today (that no one is talking about) is to go out of your way to draw your head and shoulders backwards towards the Earth side of your body. The Earth Principle's life-positive force operates in us best when we respect the way it helps each level of our body stay resilient and sturdy. And this happens when we allow our backside to properly support the body's front side organ tissues. Dr. Howard Walsdorf is a veteran holistic chiropractic and natural healer, author, speaker, and expert in the ancient wisdom of the four elements and natural living. His latest book, "Fire, Air, Water & Earth: Apply an Ancient Wisdom to Your Life " aims to revitalize modern society by introducing a compelling new holistic paradigm for healthier living and healing, integrating the principles embodied by the four elements: fire, air, water and earth. As founder of The Four Element Institute and visionary behind the Growing Holistically community, Dr. W. is on a mission to inspire and educate people to think, live and heal in more natural ways.

Post college, Duran continued to follow his Radio Muse, working as an on-air personality for an award-winning comedy show on WPLJ and WABC in New York. In 2000, Duran began to produce on the popular MTV show, House of Style, and promptly began to host on the Latin music television station HTV.

A couple years later Duran expanded his presence on the network, hosting The Secret Life of…, a light hearted exploration of the history of the foods we love. < p>By October, 2008, George’s popular cookbook, Take This Dish and Twist It hit bookstore shelves. As colorful and funny as the chef himself, Duran’s book is packed with highly useful tips, extremely amusing anecdotes—and of course, obscenely mouthwatering recipes, revealing his delectably unexpected take on comfort foods and snacks.

How Outdoor Group Travel Nurtures Mental Health

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 19:40:23 +0000

Kelly Kimple the CEO of Adventures in Good Company, a community of women with adventurous spirits who support each other and relish time together in the outdoors joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Mental Health Channels. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Kelly Kimple discuss the following:

Share a personal experience or anecdote from your own outdoor adventures that highlights the profound impact of nature and group travel on mental well-being?
What unique mental health benefits do guided adventures (like Adventures in Good Company) offer, especially for women, that may not be as readily accessible during solo trips or other forms of travel?
Adventures in Good Company emphasizes creating supportive environments for participants. How do these group dynamics contribute to building a sense of community and connection among women, fostering positive mental health outcomes?
Can you elaborate on how acquiring new outdoor skills, alongside expert guidance, contributes to boosting confidence and overall mental well-being?
Outdoor adventures, while transformative, can pose challenges. How does Adventures in Good Company address the potential stressors associated with travel, and what strategies or support systems are in place to ensure participants feel secure and comfortable throughout their journeys?

Raised in rural New England, access to nature was abundant and outdoor adventuring came naturally to Adventures in Good Company’s CEO, Kelly Kimple. Even though her parents were not particularly outdoorsy, she took advantage of every opportunity to ski, hike, paddle, and explore the mountains, trails, rivers and lakes around her home. She followed this passion out west to the University of Montana, graduating from the Davidson Honors College with a double major in Wildlife Biology and Botany. Over the next decade, in addition to checking a lot of the national parks off her list, she pursued a career in conservation biology. She went on to receive a master’s degree in Natural Resource Management at the University of Arizona, and then moved to Fort Collins, Colorado to work for a non-profit doing research on bird population trends. While still a conservationist at heart, she was looking for a change from research, and after trying her hand at program administration, business development, and marketing for several years, she was fortunate to find her true calling in the adventure travel industry. She joined Adventures in Good Company in 2018 and the next year was presented with an opportunity to purchase it from the founder, Marian Marbury. While the timing was challenging - closing on the sale at the start of 2020 - the pandemic allowed her to uniquely establish and build trust and to successfully move the company from founder-led to founder-inspired. AGC had its best year ever in 2022 and Kelly is excited about the direction AGC is headed. She remains committed to the company’s founding values, including valuing emotional and physical safety, personal choice and individual goals, healthy relationships with other people and the environment, and valuing women and their way of knowing. She embodies the idea that women’s strengths are an asset to the outdoor and travel industry. At the same time, having experienced the strain and expense of balancing motherhood with career goals, Kelly is also committed to creating a supportive workplace for AGC’s all-female team, and it’s what drives her to continue to grow the business and to provide even better opportunities for women to achieve both their personal and professional goals. Kelly thrives on the connections she makes with the team and the travelers, and in seeing the joy and empowerment that AGC trips provide for women. It is a privilege to do this work and to offer life-altering, confidence-building adventures that enable women to experience nature, travel the world, step out of their comfort zones, and accomplish things they never thought possible for themselves.

Topic: Reasons It’s Never Too Late to Be Who You Want to Be Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Nikki Martinez discuss the following:

What are some ways an individual can make time for themselves?
You have talked in a number of our interviews about using these ends of relationships as an opportunity for people to use this time for growth and to accomplish the things that you keep saying you want to redefine themselves with. Can you speak more about this?
I know that you had said that two of your favorite quotes that hung in your office really resonated with patients universally and you feel like they apply to these topics. Do you mind sharing them?
You mentioned that these topics tie back to the first interview that we did in the series, how so?
Being that this is the last interview in the series, is there a final thought you would like to leave the listeners with?

Dr. Nicole Martinez received her master’s and her Doctorate from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology and completed her pre-doctoral and post-doctoral fellowship at Gateway Foundation in Lake Villa, Illinois.

Dr. Martinez understands that it is just as important to identify any treatment styles, tools, techniques, or methods that did work, but what did not work as well, so that the two of you can work together charting a new path and avoiding precious time lost and frustration on that which has already been proven to be a poor fit. Dr. Martinez also understands that each person is unique, there is no one size fits all, and that the needs of an individual may not only change from the initial inception of a treatment plan but from month to month or session to session, and that adapting and meeting the patient; where they are at; at any given moment is essential to both letting the patient knows they are being heard and attended to, as well as positive treatment outcomes.

You note that couples that struggle with infertility are 3 times more likely to divorce than other couples. I know you had some additional information and statistics you wanted to share with us.
You note that there are some common patterns and behaviors in many relationships that struggle. What are the reasons that you tend to see that happen, so that listeners can recognize the patterns?
You make a special point to focus on BOTH members of the couple and how people can support them. You note that people tend to support the woman, and in certain dynamics, if it is a male-female relationship, note he may be the main support for her, but people don't tend to check and see how he is doing, and this partner may tend to 'not' ask for help and support. What should people in their life do?
You note there are some common habits that most people are guilty of, that people should stop doing, right away, if they take NOTHING else away from this today.
What advice would you like to leave both the couples with, and those who care about them?

As the topic of the show notes, there Is an important misunderstanding about the fact that pre-existing suicidal thoughts cause suicidal behavior in individuals, not mental health medications. Could you explain what that misunderstanding is?
You note that it is essential that a child has a thorough evaluation before starting an antidepressant by a trained professional. Who should conduct it, what should it entail, and why is it so important?
The FDA has put a “Black Box” warning on ALL antidepressants but has only approved 9 for children and youth, and you also have some research you would like to discuss that shows it is not these medications that cause suicidal thoughts.
You note that a major problem is that parents, guardians, and providers don’t always realize that a teen is suicidal, and so they blame the medication when no one is asking the questions and having the conversation.
Based on your experience, and reports from individuals you have worked with over the years, what conversations could providers and guardians be having with children and teens to help make sure these incidents are significantly reduced?

Dr. Martinez understands that it is just as important to identify any treatment styles, tools, techniques, or methods that did work, but what did not work as well, so that the two of you can work together charting a new path and avoiding precious time lost and frustration on that which has already been proven to be a poor fit. Dr. Martinez also understands that each person is unique, there is no one size fits all, and that the needs of an individual may not only change from the initial inception of a treatment plan but from month to month or session to session, and that adapting and meeting the patient; where they are at; at any given moment is essential to both letting the patient knows they are being heard and attended to, as well as positive treatment outcomes. Areas of expertise: medical and health psychology, trauma, trauma-focused CBT, PTSD, depression, anxiety, social anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, neurodivergent emerging considerations, LGBTQIA populations, bereavement, forensics, substance abuse, and misuse disorders, addictive issues and behaviors, couples work, MISA populations, co-occurring disorders, domestic violence issues, sex offenders, special needs populations, and chronic medical issues and rare diseases.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Nikki Martinez discuss the following:

What are some of the reasons that people struggle to leave TOXIC relationships?
You talk about both old ‘adages” as well as creating 'permission structures' to help people find their own way forward from these relationships, can you say more about that?
What are the two main ways that you suggest people attempt to remove themselves from toxic relationships, depending on the individual ‘s unique situation, as well as the person’s response and/or behavior?
If someone is ‘stuck’ in their thinking, and not allowing themselves to see a life without this person, what are some questions and/or thoughts you might have for this person?
What are some closing thoughts you have for individuals who are on the fence about taking this step, ad what life could look like for them if they decided to remove this toxic person from their life, or set a healthy boundary with them?

Dr. Nicole Martinez received her master’s and her Doctorate from Illinois School of Professional Psychology and completed her pre-doctoral and post-doctoral fellowship at Gateway Foundation in Lake Villa, Illinois. Prior to that she attended the University of St. Francis where she completed a double major in Psychology and Therapeutic Recreation. Dr. Martinez has experience working with adolescents and adults in individual, family, and group treatment.

She believes in exploring the connection between the body and the mind to treat all the individuals’ needs. Her belief is that an individual must explore many areas of their functioning to ensure optimum health physically and emotionally. She stresses the essential belief that the therapist and client relationship is collaborative in nature, and the two are 'partners,' who communicate from the first steps of designing the course and goals of treatment, as well as what the priorities will be. Dr. Martinez understands that it is just as important to identify any treatment styles, tools, techniques, or methods that 'did not' work, as did, so that the two of you can work together charting a new path and avoiding precious time and frustration on that which has already been proven to be a poor fit. Dr. Martinez also understands that each person is unique, there is no 'one size fits all,' and that the needs of an individual may not only change from the initial inception of a treatment plan, but from month to month or session to session, and that adapting and meeting the patient 'where they are at,' at any given moment is essential to both letting the patient know they are being heard and attended to, as well as positive treatment outcomes. Areas of expertise: medical and health psychology, trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, social anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD,autism spectrum disorders and neurodivergent considerations, LGBTQ populations, bereavement, forensics, substance abuse, addictive issues, couples work, MISA, co-occurring disorders, domestic violence, sex offenders, special needs populations, and chronic medical issues and rare diseases.

Summer is associated with sunburns and related heat ailments, but most people aren’t aware that back and spine injury risks rise with the temperatures. Can you tell us a little bit about why that is?
There certainly are a number of concerns around potential injury during the summer season. Dr. Rush, are there some general guidelines you can share to help us keep our back and spine safe and pain free during the summer?
I’ve had the opportunity to review both your background and your credentials, research and board certification is extraordinary. With the proliferation of information on the web, can you help our listeners understand the best way to get information about back and spine care when they have a concern?
While back and spinal injuries can be both serious and consequential at any age, my sense is that children may be at higher risk than suspected – particularly during the summer months. Can you share some guidance for parents hoping to keep their kids injury free during the remainder of the summer?
I know this is a huge question to ask of you as we near the end of our conversation, but can you share some of the transformative treatments available to people who have suffered back and spine injuries – or are experiencing pain?

Floriana Abramovich the Founder of Cede Botanic, which is a brand that focuses on carefully selecting ingredients that promote healing, calming, regenerating and anti-inflammatory benefits joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Skin Care Channels. Cede Botanic will help you on your journey to heal and repair your skin barrier, leaving you with healthy and nourished skin. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Floriana Abramovich discuss the following:

Why is skincare so important to health?
What is a “fast acting” product in skincare?
What ingredients can help with inflammation of the skin?
How can internal stressors affect your skin?
What tip would you give to someone who is trying to improve their skin health?

My name is Floriana Abramovich and I'm the founder of Cede Botanic. I have 3 beautiful daughters, an incredibly supportive husband and 3 dogs. The idea for Cede Botanic was born when I began a journey to heal my inflamed and irritated skin. In my 20’s, I began experiencing cystic acne, redness, inflammation and relied on acne-targeted ingredients to help. After years of experimenting with different solutions, my skin was on a downward spiral causing pigmentation, painful breakouts and a damaged skin barrier. It got so bad, I almost went on a strong drug to see if it would help…but I found out just a few days later that I was pregnant…so I had to turn to something else. After having my daughters, I realized that my acne was a result of internal stressors, hormone disruptors and a result of harsh stripping ingredients that promoted irritation. Over the years, I switched over to topicals that required a bit of patience and dedication. Reducing the amount of actives and fast acting products…that claimed to help but in fact made things worse. I began my journey to heal my skin. Through changes in diet, trying to reduce stress levels and using nourishing ingredients, my body began to slowly shift. With gentle topical products, I began to point out how much I wished one product had something specific over another. A particular texture was present in another. I found herself on a quest in learning about raw ingredients that were providing my skin relief. Ingredients like Cupuacu butter, Aloe, adaptogens, Hemp, Turmeric. Seeing, playing, smelling these incredible ingredients in their raw and natural state excited me. It ignited a passion I didn’t know existed. I began to create little jars of magic that I gave to my family. Until one day, my husband turned to me and said, “we have to share your passion with others, you can’t keep this to yourself” and so, uncompromising on quality, partnering with the right chemists that shares similar mindsets, values in sourcing and innovation…my journey is complete. I created a brand that focuses on carefully selecting ingredients that promote healing, calming, regenerating and anti-inflammatory benefits. Actives used in their most effective way without causing further irritation. Cede Botanic will help you on your journey to heal and repair your skin barrier. Leaving you with healthy and nourished skin.

Petzbe combines two things that most Americans love, their pets and social media. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guests Andrea Nerep and Chelsea Rose Riggs discuss the following:

How did you come up with the idea for Petzbe?
Pets are so good for our health and well being. What are some ways in which our pets can help us with our health and wellness?
Through Petzbe we see the world through the voice of our beloved pets. Do you think that this site is sort of therapeutic for people in a world where most social media is political and often negatively emotional for many?
What is the “Vetbe" section of the App?
How does "Lend A Paw" work and what are some of the charities that have benefitted from “Lend A Paw”?
How do you download Petzbe?

Summary: Petzbe is one of the fasted growing social media platforms where the user opens an account on behalf of their beloved pets. All the photos, videos, opinions and messaging on Petzbe come from the perspective of your pets and takes on their persona. Studies have shown that pets can be very beneficial for our own physical and mental health well-being. The brain child of millennial, Andrea Nerep the site is available on your smart phone App Store and it is sure to be the “cutest community platform” available today. What would your pets say if they could speak? What’s their voice like – sassy, cute, witty, grumpy, playful? PETZBE is the leading social media app connecting pet parents in a community where they share their pets’ lives from the perspective of the pet. PETZBE’S purpose is to provide a positive pet-centric social media experience for pet parents to form meaningful connections with each other and trusted companies in the pet industries. Realizing that society is obsessed with social media and pets, PETZBE creator, Swedish-born and now New York based Andrea Nerep and her dog, Angus (a Brussels Griffon) partnered with Los Angeles based Chelsea Rose Riggs to create what they believe is “The cutest community on the planet.” PETZBE is simple to use and easily downloadable on most smart phones when you find it in your smart phone app icon. (Note: Some versions of Android may have trouble downloading the app.) Designed using current state-of-the-art technology, this social media platform, although contributed to by humans, only allows pets to participate. With a soft-launch and ample time to test the PETZBE technology in 2018, PETZBE now has over to 800,000 furry, feathered, scaled, slithery and other diverse and loveable community members. Just like human social media sites, each PETZBE member page showcases and highlights the life of your individual pet. You can connect with others while featuring your pet’s photos, videos, feelings, and thoughts (that you create for them). If you like another member’s content, give it a “Lick” (Like) or click on their “Sniff” (Follow) and voila, you are now “Sniffing” (Following) them.

Chef Tommaso Iorio who is an Italian Born Chef located in Los Angeles who owns a catering company called Tuscany At Home with his wife Deana and is also a consultant for the Italian Charcuterie line of Rovagnati joins eHealth Radio and the Nutrition and Health News Channels. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Chef Tommaso Iorio discuss the following:

Tell me about your background and how you came to be a chef and about your catering company and to work with Rovagnati Charcuterie meats?

Why do you think authentic Italian meats like Rovagnati meats are so appealing to Americans for health, flavor or all of that?
Where can people find and learn more about Rovagnati and your company Tuscany at Home?

Born in Chianti, Tommaso Iorio’s childhood was spent roaming the enchanting landscape of Tuscany. Famed for its lush green hills dotted with vineyards and olive trees, Chianti is also home to some of the finest cuisine in the world. Its rich agricultural and farming heritage, coupled with its production of premium olive oil, has made Chianti the favored source of prime ingredients that are fundamental to Tuscan dishes. Following a serious accident at the age of five, Tommaso found refuge in his grandmothers’ kitchens in the small town of Panzano, situated atop a hill in the Chianti Classico wine zone. Enveloped by the intoxicating aromas and flavors of Italian cuisine, Tommaso soon found himself immersed in culinary traditions that would kindle the flames of his life-long passion for food. Tommaso has embraced his passion as an adult, transforming his love for traditional cucina Toscana into a flourishing career. He graduated from the Isituto Technico Agrario di Firenze alle Cascine in Florence, the heart of Tuscany’s vibrant culinary scene, before pursuing various opportunities in the hospitality and wine industry. In 2013, he began working under fellow Panzano Tuscan and world-renowned artisanal butcher Dario Cecchini. A much beloved mentor, Dario taught Tommaso the intricacies of navigating a successful butcher shop, particularly when it comes to providing customers with exceptional service and authentic dining experiences. The two spirited Tuscans can be seen on an episode of Netflix’s Chef’s Table, dedicated to Dario’s illustrious career and the family legacy behind his popular butcher shop in Panzano. Tommaso met his wife, Deana, while working at Dario’s shop. The couple soon married and moved to Los Angeles. Together, they launched Tuscany at Home, where they offer clients a truly immersive Tuscan dining experience from the comfort of their own homes. Guests watch Tommaso as he prepares food in a traditional Tuscan grill setting, exchanging anecdotes by the fire and sipping sun-kissed wine from the hills of Chianti. Upholding his grandmothers’ traditions of taking fresh, organic produce and transforming simple ingredients into gourmet dishes, the couple has taken the SoCal private chef scene by storm. Since kickstarting their business over the last two years, they have served more than 250 events across Santa Barbara, Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, Pacific Palisades, Sonoma, and Encino. Their diverse clientele base includes A-list celebrities from both the United States and Italy, and they have auctioned off their services for local charity events. Tommaso also offers cooking classes, where participants prepare classic Tuscan dishes such as Bistecca Alla Fiorentina, Pappa al Pomodoro Pici Toscani and many more. With Tommaso’s guidance, they acquire a finer appreciation of the scrumptious flavors and time-honored techniques that make Tuscan cuisine one of the most revered in the world. Tuscany at Home embodies the spirit of its namesake, bringing to life the expression “Mangia bene, Ridi Spesso e Ama Molto.” Eat well, laugh often, love much.

As someone who is in a business leadership position within the healthcare industry more broadly, what do you recommend to healthcare innovations who may be entrepreneurs, or even innovation minded teams working within larger companies to make an impact that’s meaningful?
What are some areas of focus your team at Proem is focused on for the rest of this year that you hope will have made a positive change in the field by 2024?

How to Battle Snoring with The Snorinator

Thu, 23 Feb 2023 19:20:10 +0000

Susan and Lloyd Ecker of The Snorinator, a patented, non-invasive, high density, memory foam pillow that will help you sleep upright and put your snoring to rest for good joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Sleep Health Channel. Listen to host Eric Dye & guests Susan and Lloyd Ecker discuss the following:

I read your interesting Ecker family business bio. Can you give us some of the highlights and then tell us how you two came up with the Snorinator?
It sounds like you came up with The Snorinator so you would both get better sleep?
2019 was three years ago. What happened next?
I saw in your Press Kit, last month you were awarded a U.S. Patent. What got you that?
If someone is interested in getting more information or purchasing The Snorinator, where should they go?

Besides having three children and three grandchildren, Susan Ecker’s greatest accomplishment is being the sole inspiration for every single one of Lloyd Ecker’s successes. When they both got to Ithaca College, it would be the first time Susan inspired Lloyd. He knew she was there, but he needed to figure out how to meet her. In 1973, after he got Bette Midler to agree to perform at I.C., the future Eckers went on their first date, had dinner with Midler after the show, and ten years later, in 1983, the couple had been married for eight years and were expecting their third baby. That’s when Susan inspired Lloyd a second time by making him a baseball hat saying “Father-to-be”. Lloyd changed the “Father-to-be” to “Father-to-BEE” with a BumbleBEE logo, expanded with gifts for the entire family-to-BEE, and in 2004 when Babytobee.com was collecting 15,000 mother-to-be names a month, the company sold for 8-figures. All because Susan made Lloyd a silly hat! After that, Susan gave Lloyd his third inspiration. “I wanna have dinner with Bette Midler again,” his muse stated. So, in 2006 Lloyd got to work on reintroducing a trailblazing Vaudeville star named Sophie Tucker. To date, Team Ecker has been nominated for a Grammy, their documentary got rave reviews in the NY Times, they won a book award, and currently they are producing their musical SOPH which is headed to Broadway. When they make their HBO Tucker series, Lloyd plans to hire Midler to play Sophie and get her a couple of Emmy awards. Then, Susan will have dinner with Bette again! Which brings us to Susan’s latest Lloyd inspiration, The Snorinator! After forty-five years of marriage and Lloyd’s house rattling snoring, in 2019 Susan finally put her foot down and kicked Lloyd out of the bedroom.” Forget about “Necessity” being the mother of invention. As you now know, for Lloyd, it has always just been “Susan”! After months of research, and an approved U.S Patent, something else, besides snoring, is once again keeping the Eckers up in the bedroom!

About Jack:

Jack Nathan is an artist, creator and founder of The Happy Jack Group, LLC. Jack launched Happy Jack’s World, on June 7, 2020, as a lifestyle brand surrounding his battle with mental health. Jack’s goal was to help kids struggling like he did.
Jack personally channeled his anxiety via painting and design. It was the one place where Jack found peace and where his mind found solace. Painting was Jack's outlet. Art was his therapy. In creating the brand Happy Jack, Jack found a way to use his art to help others.
In Jack’s mission to help kids struggling with mental health, he donated a portion of the proceeds from all Happy Jack product sales to the Child Mind Institute. Jack wanted to ensure that others felt less alone by being transparent about his own battle with anxiety and bouts of depression. Jack encouraged everyone to embrace their eccentricities wholeheartedly and to persevere in the face of personal adversity.
Jack Nathan left us suddenly and accidentally at the age of 19. We are forever grateful for the impact he left on all who knew him. Our goal is to continue Happy Jack in his honor and to ensure that his mission of "making this world a better place for kids like him" is realized.

Is this why you wrote the book Mental Edge for Teens?
What is the impact that this book is making, and why do you want to give away 100,000 books?
Tell us about your Mental Health for Teens program and coaching certification programs.

TIP: It's ok for teens to be themselves. Being authentic and proud of who you are, makes for great mental health. Society makes sexuality a focal point, yet in reality, this is not an issue for most teens. A bigger issue is not fitting in because of your values, money, dress, looks, religion, intelligence, or perceived lack of athleticism or other talents. This feeling of not being like others or accepted is destructive to mental health. Embrace your values, be proud of your religion, your looks are what makes you unique and looks change over time. What is fashionable today will not be tomorrow and hey/ Who are these people that are telling you how you should dress and groom anyway? They don't care about you! They care about manipulating you to buy their stuff and the teens that mock or tease about Lack lack of style or coming from the wrong social strata and income range are the ones that are not cool. Stand tall, breathe calm and love who you are!
