Welcome to DR. VAL SAVES DAVE, a very funny and informative podcast that documents the real life journey of a man trying to turn his life around and the Naturopathic Doctor who has decided to help him.

Dr. Valerie Franc has spent the last 25 years, studying, teaching and testing the limits of how healthy a human being can be. Now she is facing insurmountable odds and maybe her toughest challenge yet.

Dave Hemstad has spent the last 25 years, touring the world as a stand-up comedian, testing the limits of how un-healthy a lifestyle an adult could have. Now, 6 months shy of his 50th birthday, alarm bells are ringing and it’s time for drastic and immediate change.

Dr. Val will now guide Dave through the next 6 months of his life, it will be his body, but her rules!

Whether you relate more to Dr. Val or Dave, you’ll find yourself reflected somewhere in this show. So listen, learn , and laugh along with them, as Dr. Val tries to save Dave.
