Well Being Radio With Brian Sanderoff

"Thyroid supplements are more trouble then they are worth” is the title of an article in the Washington Post a couple of weeks ago.  On today’s show I’m going to rip that article to shreds, point by point, and also tell you what you really need to know about thyroid function, how medicine looks to treat it now, and just how valuable the right supplements can be to get the thyroid to function properly.

I was interviewed by a student yesterday, doing a paper for her holistic health class. Her questions elicited some interesting conversation about health and put me into a philosophical mood about the state of medicine in our country, and how poorly we do at helping people actually heal. That's what I'm going to discuss today as well as bringing to light some interesting new studies that have crossed my desk in the past few weeks.

I can’t seem to get away from talking about cholesterol – or maybe better put, trying to convince people that lowering their cholesterol serves no purpose what-so-ever, and most likely will negatively affect quality of life.  So I am going to share the whole cholesterol myth on the air again today.  I’ll also bring light to some interesting new studies that have crossed my desk in the past few weeks.

On today’s show, I am going to discuss 2 terms that you probably have never heard of before – Immunosenescence and Inflamm-aging.  They are related and they speak directly to our aging process and the genesis of chronic disease.  Maintaining a balance of good bacteria in the gut is vital to healthful aging.  Also, our “friends” at the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) are at it again, misinforming folks about herbs!

On this podcast, I am going to talk about a current dietary phenomenon – FASTING.  Should you fast on a regular basis?  Should you do a fasting cleanse?  Is “intermittent fasting” a good idea?  Tune in to get the answers.  Also, there are a bunch of studies that have crossed my desk in the past few weeks that I want to review!

On my show today I'll be discussing some interesting research showing that dietary factors play a huge role in the development, and potential reversal, of Alzheimer's and Age Related Memory Loss. This is significant as it definitively shows that getting Alzheimer's may very well be optional - and who would intentionally choose that?

In this show, Brian gets philosophical and talks about health in terms that are more energetic and spiritual than they are physical or biochemical. And he'll discuss the usual interesting tidbits that crossed his desk this week. 

Brian is joined by his wife and occasional co-host, Randi Botnick, an amazing energy healer, a gifted hypno-therapist, and author of the book Fourth-Dimensional Healing: A Guidebook for a New Paradigm of Healing. We discuss "getting primal" and how it relates to health and how we live and relate to each other, and how we relate to the environment around us.

On today's show, Brian is going to discuss a simple medical and evolutionary concept called "Homeostasis" - and having an understanding of this term, and it's implications for the aging, is vital if you want to live a long and healthy life. And, Brian will also discuss some interesting recent news in the world of alternative medicine.

On todays' show, I will be joined by Bill Shaddle, and we will discuss Menopause and one of my favorite natural tools to use to treat all of those bothersome menopausal symptoms. You can download the Menopause Rating Scale to get an objective "number" of where you are now, and then take Estrovera for a month, and see how much you improve. Estrovera is guaranteed to help relieve your symptoms, or you can get a full refund!

On today's show I will discuss the recent legislative attempt to require HPC Vaccination for every 9th grader in the State of Maryland. This is sheer folly for many reasons, least of which is that it probably doesn't really work - meaning that there is no scientific evidence that 1 person has avoided getting cancer because of the vaccine. I'll also cover the most recent news to have crossed my desk in the last few weeks.

It is Super Bowl Sunday! So I thought I would report to you the results of the playoffs of the top six supplements in the league, and the winner of the Supplement Super Bowl.  I will also share some thoughts about some recent studies that have caught my eye.

Are dietary supplements safe and effective? According to a recent Frontline/New York Times Special Report, the answer is no. On today’s show, I will editorialize about the points that they attempt to make during their “investigation” and offer you a more balanced and reasonable viewpoint. I might also go over a few interesting tidbits that have crossed my desk in the past couple of weeks.

On today’s show, I want to talk about the reasons for taking supplements, as opposed to being able to get all of your nutrition from your diet alone.  I know that the idea of nutritional supplements being useful is questioned every so often in the media.  Let’s see how many legitimate reasons I can come up with to support the need for supplementation.  I might also go over a few interesting tidbits that have crossed my desk in the past couple of weeks.

On this weeks show, I'm going to introduce you to a new term, Orthorexia, that I find interesting,  I will also talk about the importance of Magnesium, and some other interesting tidbits that have crossed my desk over the past few weeks.

On today’s show, I want to talk about what everyone else is thinking about right now too – what would I do with all of that money if I won the Power Ball?  I stated my intentions on FaceBook yesterday evening, got some attention… but apparently the lottery gods need more details.  Well, here they are!!  I might also go over a few interesting tidbits that have crossed my desk in the past couple of weeks.

Today I want to review the facts about 2 important chemicals in the body, Dopamine and Glutathione. Even though they may seem unrelated in their functions in the body, they are both intimately tied to the aging process. I will also go over a few interesting tidbits that have crossed my desk in the past couple of weeks.

This episode, I’d like to review hormonal balance in women.  Often times, the underlying issue with many problems is “estrogen dominance”, where the balance between estrogen and progesterone is off.  I will review the various reasons for this, and simple but effective ways to fix it. I will also go over a few interesting tidbits that have crossed my desk in the past couple of weeks.

On this podcast, I am going to discuss some recent changes announced, and agreed upon, by our government and medical industry regarding cholesterol containing foods. Low and behold, cholesterol containing foods aren’t bad for you after all. I’m going to talk about why medicine is so slow to change their opinion about things, and some examples of other issues that they need to re-evaluate. I will also go over a few interesting tidbits that have crossed my desk in the past couple of weeks.

After my Thanksgiving Feast of too many carb-laden foods and sugary treats, I am going to talk about getting our gut, and our health in general, back on track by paying attention to the “4 R’s”… Remove, Replace, Reinoluate and Repair. I will also go over a few interesting tidbits that have crossed my desk in the past couple of weeks.
