On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), covers the the biggest news in the health and wellness space from a holistic, naturopath perspective. In this episode, Dr. Jack focuses on the correlation between diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, obesity, and the nutritional aspect. When the human body is not functioning at its optimum potential, it’s often a cause of dietary and lifestyle choices, leading to the aforementioned diseases. Ofttimes, one of these illnesses leads to the others arising as well. At Dr. Jack’s clinic in Salt Lake City, he specializes in curing diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and high cholesterol with lifestyle changes. The more committed his patients are to these changes, the less reliant they will be on prescription medications. Also, the importance of exercise in health is crucial to the benefits of overall health. Dr. Jack recommends a “slow burn” approach. This is where you might be doing a bench press and push it up and let it down, but you do it very slowly, and only around 4-6 repetitions per set, and about once every 5-7 days, or twice weekly… not being in the gym every single day. Studies show when you exercise in this manner, the positive effects last in your body for the next 5-7 days. Lastly, Doug joins for an engaging discussion on brain fog and why generations before us didn’t appear to struggle with it the way we do today. In large part, their diets were completely different, they weren’t taking multiple drugs everyday, they didn’t have the artificial foods to the degree we do today, and they didn’t have the vast level of vaccinations we do today. There are a lot of toxicities we have today that didn’t exist, or weren’t as abundant, generations before. Website: GoodDayHealthShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with a medical success story with a new cancer vaccine, the importance of a strong immune system, and how we are inadvertently aging ourselves faster. Next, Doug and Dr. Ken address an increase in life expectancy, a study showing night owls have a higher risk of heart disease than early birds, and the state of public health (specifically where we’re at with measles outbreaks. Moving on, Dr. Ken breaks down how weight-loss drugs are being shown to have a positive effect on heart-health when helping with weight loss.

In this episode, Dr. Jack begins with an explanation of who, or rather what, the Forbidden Doctor is and why it matters. Then, Dr. Jack shifts into addressing topics about which his patients have asked him, starting with cholesterol. There seems to be a push for lower and lower cholesterol, which Dr. Jack calls a fraud.Cholesterol is a waxy-type of product our bodies make because every cell in our body requires cholesterol. Liver makes cholesterol, so if there is not enough in our diet, the liver will make more. If there is enough cholesterol in our diet, the liver will make less. Dr. Jack shares a study that looks into low cholesterol, and longterm lower cholesterol in elderly patients leads to a higher rate of death.  As a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner, hold of Dr. Jack’s focus of practice is helping his patients change the road their body is on, and that has to do with changing lifestyle choices with diet being the primary focus.Now, if your cholesterol is critically low and always has been (without the use of drugs to make it low), then that’s a different issue. For some people, it may just be genetic, but it’s important to have your liver checked to make sure it’s not something to do with liver disease.Rounding out the conversation, Doug joins Dr. Jack to answer listener questions, including how to protect your body from cold, wet weather. The discussion continues how the body reacts wherever you live and various types of climate, and the important controls of the nervous system for the body.  Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with a story about a stem cell that’s been derived from helper T-cells, diving into how this therapy will help those with cancer. This is a development that aims to lead to more people beating cancer. Continuing on with good news in health news, there is a breakthrough for Sjogrens Syndrome patients, a debilitating autoimmune disease that lacks specific therapies. Then, Doug and Dr. Ken shift focus to the health watch Doug wears with Ken monitoring Doug’s health. While Doug feels fine, his watch is telling Dr. Ken otherwise. This goes beyond the fitness tracker devices people wear, this is a medical grade device where doctors can monitor their patients health, including their stress level and heart-related health issues. The device is a helpful tool because it not only lets doctors know what is going on in their patients’ bodies without them being in the office, but it also helps people keep alert to things about their body they may otherwise miss. Many doctors out there are beginning to be more focused on preventative measures, and preventative-cardiology is gaining more notice. Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), covers the the biggest news in the health and wellness space from a holistic, naturopath perspective.

So, what gives? Dr. Jack breaks down the alleged pathogen involve. Lyme disease is thought from a tick, that the tick bites you and its Lyme disease containing saliva goes into your blood. Dr. Jack continues with a study that 2 of 36 patients with the symptoms and suspicions of Lyme disease had these spirochetes in their blood stream. Only two. So why did the other 34 believe they had Lyme?Then, Doug joins Dr. Jack to answer listener questions, starting with the importance of vitamin K.

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with an oncology report on cancer survival rates with a rise in success in treating, including a 5-year survival rate for all cancers, and another gain in GLP-1s use as it attributes to cardiovascular health. Next up, Doug and Dr. Ken address cholesterol levels and why simply looking at the number alone isn’t beneficial because it’s only one part of an overall health assessment, and why cardiologists are no longer focusing on “good cholesterol.” There’s also a protein 20% of people have that causes those who look like they are the most fit and wind up with an early heart attack because of this elevated protein, and how it correlates to LDL cholesterol. Lastly, Doug and Dr. Ken answer listener questions, including one about exercise and depression. A new report aggregated from numerous studies suggests exercise is just as effective as psychological therapy or antidepressants for alleviating symptoms of depression. This further’s the “exercise is medicine” movement as it relates to mild to moderate depression. Additionally, the new food pyramid stresses protein, it stresses getting rid of processed food, it stresses getting rid of added sugar (natural sugars are OK), and minimization of saturated fat in patients moderate to high risk patients with circulation issues. Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), covers the the biggest news in the health and wellness space from a holistic, naturopath perspective. In this episode, Dr. Jack dives into the cold and flu season, which also coincide with when most of us are at the height of being Vitamin D deficient. This begins a conversation on the benefits of Vitamin D, as well the symptoms of being deficient, and the differences of synthetic Vitamin D supplements over whole food Vitamin D supplements. Then, Dr. Jack dives into the debate between raw milk and pasteurized milk, the benefits of raw milk, and why it’s far more difficult to get. Vitamin D naturally occurs in raw milk, but pasteurized milk has the option to purchase with Vitamin D added, and it’s always the synthetic version. Continuing with the conversation on Vitamin D, Dr. Jack shares the importance of getting direct sunshine for 30 minutes a day can give you enough Vitamin D to show benefits. When taken in supplemental form, the best form of whole food Vitamin D is real, pure cod liver oil. Unfortunately, most cod liver oils are now industrially produced from the livers of inferior fish. The oil is heavily treated with most brands removing the Vitamins A & D for synthetic replacements. This is because the natural Vitamins A & D is that they will break down, when it’s exposed to air it will oxidize. Doug joins the conversation where he and Dr. Jack address listener questions, including the new upside-down food pyramid, the importance of healthy proteins and healthy fats. Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with good news thanks to a report in oncology and cancer survival showing a 70% 5-year survival rate as mortality rates have declined. Continuing with good news, a new study shows breastfeeding can diminish risks of depression for mothers, not just post party but up to 10 years after giving birth and breast feeding their baby. Next, there is a controversy over the new CDC vaccine schedule, questioning cloudiness over any childhood vaccines leading to other illnesses or lifelong diseases, and the need to always follow up with your doctor and to always pay attention to your body. A clinical break through on Hepatitis B with a drug company announcing positive Phase 3 results to be a functional cure for chronic Hep B, replacing lifelong antiviral therapy with a finite 6-month course.  Moving on, Doug and Dr. Ken break down the differences between fish oil supplements, with over-the-counter (OTC) synthetic fish oil vs natural fish oil supplements, as well as high grade prescription fish oil. Then, Doug and Dr. Ken share why you may feel better after exercising and other times you may feel exhausted. Dr. Ken shares the secret to exercising and feeling well after. He shares the saying, “train, don’t strain.” The theory is that if you are feeling lousy or in pain while exercising, you’re doing too much and will feel lousy. Instead, push yourself to the point before you feel symptomatic while training. Dr. Ken encourages ditching the motto, “no pain, no gain,” especially the older you get. Rounding out the conversation, Doug and Dr. Ken answer listener questions, including questions on narcolepsy and how to live a quality life when day-to-day can feel more than exhausting, whether or not their is relation to narcolepsy and sleep apnea, and the importance of treating sleep apnea.  Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND… Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), covers the the biggest news in the health and wellness space from a holistic, naturopath perspective. In this episode, Dr. Jack takes a comical-yet-serious approach to health by sharing 10 things you can do to get a sickness that no medical doctor can possible cure. Read that sentence again. Starting with eating GMOs (genetically modified organisms) daily, like corn and soy. GMOs are something Mother Nature made and science altered it. Next, drink tap water daily. Don’t worry about drinking anything else, only drink tap water with all of its chlorine and fluoride. Another tip is to get your nutrients solely through lab-made supplements and nothing natural at all, especially avoid getting Vitamin D from the Sun, always get your flu shot and take every prescription medication your doctor gives you each day as prescribed without looking into any other natural approach.Dr. Jack continues his tongue-in-cheek approach to health with sharing what you can do to keep yourself sick. Like continuing to consumes artificial sweeteners daily — especially aspartame, sucralose, sorbitol, and all of the alcohol sugars because we know they have a negative effect on the brain. The next tip is to use personal care products that contain parabens, phthalates, aluminum, and sodium lauryl sulfate like skincare items and shampoos & conditioners. He goes on to share more tips in a reverse-style conversation for better health. Doug jumps in to answer listener questions with Dr. Jack weight loss medications and if slimmer automatically equals healthier.Continuing on, does BMI matter, and why or why not.  Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with the flu, if there is cause for concern, where cases are higher, and why there have been more hospitalizations and deaths. Continuing with the flu discussion, questions arise on what’s in these flu shots (as well as any vaccine).Then, the conversation shifts to safer opioids offer pain relief without the significant side effects and dangers of addiction. Next up, the link between gut health and brain health with focus on what to eat, what to avoid, best exercises, and more. Additionally, Doug and Ken discuss a new study on fasting, and benefits of intermittent fasting.The conversation then shifts to the continued work in the medical world with the future of medicine to make adjustments with genetics and gene therapy. Especially when there seems to be genetic links to so many illnesses and how we’re effected by diseases and what we’re pre-disposed to or of which we’re dealing with increased risk. Rounding out the discussion, Doug and Dr. Ken address listener questions, beginning with a debate of coffee vs green tea and which benefits overpower the others. Another question is about a new bipass operation that is minimally invasive when correcting blockages. Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), covers the the biggest news in the health and wellness space from a holistic, naturopath perspective. In this episode, Dr. Jack starts off with a confession that he uses tanning beds in the winter-time, and explains why he does so. In large part, it has to do with vitamin D, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Dr. Jack dives in. Americans now spend less than 8% of a 24-hour period outside. It’s no wonder why our population is profoundly deficient in UVB.  While the use of a tanning bed isn’t a be all end all, but it’s better than no UVB exposure, as Dr. Jack says. He continues with how to find a safe, hygienic facility.  Then, Doug joins and he and Dr. Jack go into a conversation about minerals, nutrients and supplements and the importance of quality soil for which are foods are grown. There are places across this country that are mineral rich, and some that aren’t. Our food supply has become so deficient in vitamins and minerals, so when you look at this holistically, vitamin supplements may be an important addition to the American diet, but not all supplements are created equal. There are supplements made in a lab, and supplements made by nature. That’s why Dr. Jack stands by Standard Process supplements, which you can learn about on JackStockwell.com.

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin the new year with notable FDA approvals just announced, like a novel blood test that could be used to determine the risk of someone developing prostate cancer. Another approval is a treatment to help those with alpha beta thalassemia, an inherited blood disorder that affects your body’s ability to produce hemoglobin and healthy red blood cells.Moving on, another weight loss medication has been approved by the FDA, in competition with self-injections like Wegovy and Ozempic, but this one is a GLP-1 in oral pill form. Then, the conversation shifts to the horrible flu going around this year with high cases going on in the New York City area and appears to be potentially deadly. Dr. Ken urges the flu shot for anyone who is not allergic to it and says the flu shot won’t keep you from getting sick with the flu, but will help keep your symptoms milder and not deadly. This could be the worst flu season we’ve seen in a long time.While COVID and the flu are not the same, there is also news on the long-COVID front and why symptoms are different for various people and an understanding why some people experience it as a cold and others have worse, long-lasting symptoms. With a new year brings New Year’s Resolutions. Doug and Dr. Ken discuss health-related resolutions and what makes some more sustainable than others. Lose weight seems to be a top resolution, along with working out more, followed by efforts to quit smoking. The main priority in attaining and maintaining resolutions is to not give up. If there is a setback, or failure, keep going, keep trying. With weight loss in mind, Doug is joined by Elizabeth Miller from Calotren to talk about the New Year and the common resolution for weight loss and overall health. The best way to approach the New Year isn’t as simple as having goals, but having a sustainable plan to go with those goals. With a stronger focus on healthy bodies, many have turned to weight loss injectables like Ozempic and Wegovy, but along with the weigh loss comes loss of muscle mass and other issues. With Calotren, you can take only that for your weight loss journey, or you can add Calotren to the injectables routine because it helps to rebuild the lean muscle tissue, tone and repair. While the injectables aren’t sustainable for long term use, Calotren is.

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), covers the the biggest news in the health and wellness space from a holistic, naturopath perspective. In this episode, Dr. Jack covers a common question he gets about estrogens, specifically for women who are under the treatment of cancer (mainly breast cancer). Dr. Jack advices against any external source of estrogen for women going through breast cancer treatment. Unfortunately, it’s not as simple as avoiding certain supplements. A lot of beef, lamb, especially poultry, are increasingly contaminated with artificial estrogens which have been injected into the animals in order to fatten them up and/or increase their rate of growth to get to the market faster. All the more reason to avoid commercial-farming and support local farmers which you can see how their animals are raised and the quality in place. Continuing on, Dr. Jack explains why we are the sickest and the most overweight country on the planet, and why the food choices are a primary culprit. Most other countries have real food in their grocery stores. Here in the US, we have an abundance of food-like products. Much of our processed foods contain chemicals and ingredients that have been banned in other countries, often from the same brand. Why would brands create two types of the same food with one being of better quality for other countries with stricter guidelines vs what is permitted and sold here. Then, the health conversation shifts to healthy weight with Doug’s conversation with Elizabeth Miller from Calotren to talk about the New Year and the common resolution for weight loss and overall health. The best way to approach the New Year isn’t as simple as having goals, but having a sustainable plan to go with those goals.

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with what he sees from patients after the first of the year. Primarily, part of New Year’s Resolutions include a focus on health, with people coming into the doctor’s office more often to check in on their health, especially with the overindulgence from the holiday season. January, in general, is a time of huge interest in one’s health. Then, the conversation shifts to a lab-grown heart, creating hopeful treatments for the future to regrow human organs. Continuous research and trials are intended to lead to successful transplants without needing donor waiting lists. Next up, Doug and Dr. Ken dive into Myasthenia Gravis (MG), a chronic autoimmune disease causing fluctuating weakness in voluntary muscles (eyes, face, swallowing, limbs) that worsens with activity and improves with rest, due to nerve signals being blocked from reaching muscles by the immune system. There is now a FDA approved treatment offering new hope to patients with MG. Shifting focus to mental health, a review finds some patients are able to safely taper off some of the antidepressants, a new hope following criticism that once you got on these drugs you can’t get off of them. Rounding out the conversation, listener questions are addressed, including the dangers of hair loss pills and potential benefits of topicals over consumed OTC or prescribed medications, surprising benefits of vitamin D that go beyond bone health, if women should exercise differently than men or if age matters more than sex, and more.  Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), covers the the biggest news in the health and wellness space from a holistic, naturopath perspective. In this episode, Dr. Jack dives into the health difficulties from the “holiday diet.” From Thanksgiving through the New Year’s celebration, there is an uptick of sugary foods at the ready and an over indulgence, throwing a curve ball to the immune system. Additionally, Dr. Jack discusses heart disease and ankle swelling. If you didn’t know, your ankles are not suppose to swell. Now, if one ankle is swelling, that’s likely more of a lymphatic issue. Dr. Jack addresses these issues and how they pertain to high blood pressure.Next up, Jack covers bone density, how to measure it and when to know if there could be an issue.  Tying into the topics addressed, Dr. Jack also addresses Big Pharma’s advertising to convince 90% of people in America that there are blood pressure issues running rampant and the only way to address it is with medications for the rest of your life. This raises the question, “Are the standards outdated?”Lastly, Doug joins to answer listener questions with Dr. Jack, including warnings about the risks of taking melatonin and how it correlates with an increased risk of heart disease, what sleep aids work with minimal side effects, and more. Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss “Holiday Heart,” AKA atrial fabulation (A-Fib) when the heart beats like a bag of worms and is caused by excessive drinking alcohol and binge-drinking. It can really lead to A-fib, put you in the hospital and ruin the festivities and celebration. Doug and Dr. Ken agree that alcohol is overrated. They aren’t alone. Statistics indicate that fewer and fewer people are drinking and less alcohol is being sold than years prior. Then, the conversation switches to the flu and a rapidly increasing number of flu-related hospitalizations. This year, the flu is not a single strain, showing mutations allowing it to evade current flu vaccines. Shifting focus to longevity and health, Doug and Dr. Ken address research on populations with super-agers shows they don’t eat a lot of meat. For instance, many in Japan who live mostly on fish products tend to live an average of at least 10 years longer than those who eat meats. Additionally, those who eat highly processed meats tend to live shorter lives. Listener questions addressed include heightened digestive problems due to the holidays, how do we know what medications are best for us and how to trust Big Pharma, and much more. Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks
