14 NOV 2024 · Ramaa.Krishnan, born and raised in India, aligned with a spiritual path and purpose from an early age. Her husband's career brought their family to the US in 1998 and she soon began sharing her perspectives and practices with others, helping them manage stress and live their lives more consciously. In 2006 she founded Full Bloomed Lotus Center for Self-Awareness, renting a studio space and expanding her circle. A difficult period in her own life had Ramaa digging deeper, uncovering old forgotten wounds, and exploring a deeper faith, beyond traditional practices. During the pandemic she closed the studio, moved her classes online, and used the time to write her first book, The Yoga of Self-Love: The Sacred Path to Wholeness and Healing through Inner-Child Work. The book is a step-by-step guide to self-discovery and healing, underscoring the power of reshaping our narratives, and affirming that while we cannot alter our past, we can find the freedom to change how we perceive it. Ramaa joins Mark on the edition of Late Night Health.

23 OCT 2024 · As the weather cools, take time to focus on your vein health. While people often associate vein health with varicose veins or other cosmetic concerns, maintaining healthy veins is essential for overall well-being. Your veins act as pathways, transporting blood efficiently through your body and playing a key role in keeping you feeling your best.
According to Dr. John Chuback, a renowned expert in venous disease and the founder of VitasupportMD, a company dedicated to high-quality nutraceuticals for venous and lymphatic health, the veins in your body work hard to move blood back to your heart and ensure it flows in the right direction.
"Healthy veins are crucial for smooth and efficient circulation," explains Dr. Chuback, a board-certified cardiovascular surgeon. "When vein health is compromised, it can lead to leg discomfort, fatigue, and affect your overall quality of life. Many people think of vein issues only in terms of varicose veins, but they play a much larger role in how your body feels and functions."
Dr. Chuback emphasizes that supporting vein health doesn't have to be complicated. Simple adjustments to your daily routine can significantly improve how your veins function. His recommendations include:
Staying Active: Regular movement helps push blood through your veins, preventing blood from pooling and keeping circulation strong. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise, such as walking or cycling, most days of the week.
Eating a Balanced Diet: Fiber-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, along with proper hydration, can improve blood flow. Reducing salt intake helps to avoid water retention, which can strain your veins and lead to leg swelling.
Avoid Smoking and Long Periods of Inactivity: Smoking damages blood vessels, making it harder for veins to function properly. If you have a sedentary job, be sure to take breaks and move around to keep your veins healthy. Doing toe raises and engaging your calf muscles while seated at your desk promotes blood flow as well. Recognizing symptoms of vein issues early is crucial for maintaining good vein health.
"Watch for signs such as swelling in the legs or ankles, cramping, bulging veins, or dark discoloration of the skin," advises Dr. Chuback. "If any of these occur, it's important to consult a vein specialist. Early treatment options can include lifestyle changes, compression stockings, dietary supplements including flavonoids like MPFF and diosmin, or medical interventions that can improve vein health and prevent complications."
This winter, prioritize vein health with simple daily habits that can help keep your veins functioning smoothly and ensure long-term comfort and mobility. When your veins are healthy and your legs feel great it is much easier to walk, exercise, and stay active which all have a positive impact on overall cardiovascular and heart health.
Dr. Chuback visits with Mark Alyn on this episode.

29 SEP 2024 · The focus of this episode is the new book "Upset Is Optional" by Karen Howard. Karen teaches readers how to Say Goodbye to Unnecessary Suffering.
Karen Howard, a former Congressional committee staff member with four decades of experience in healthcare policy and author of "Upset is Optional," is here to share valuable insights from her book on alleviating election anxiety:
• Create a Word Wall: Start by listening to your own words. Pay attention to the language you use when discussing the election. Create a word wall with words you want to use more, like "hope" and "encouraged," and words to use less, such as "scary" and "mad." This helps shift your mindset and focus on the possibility of a positive outcome.
• Reframe Your Reactions: Change your perspective by reframing negative emotions. For example, transform frustration into curiosity, anger into bewilderment, and fear into compassion. This simple shift can help you manage your emotions more effectively and stay calmer during this intense time.
• Set Your Mood: Start each day by setting a positive intention, like "Today, I will stay calm and centered." Perform frequent body scans throughout the day to check in with yourself and reset as needed. This practice helps you maintain a balanced and relaxed state of mind amidst election stress.
• Serve the Seven Generations: Honor your past and be true to your future by ensuring that your mission serves not only your immediate needs, but also the three generations that came before you and the three generations that will follow. Reflect on the values and lessons passed down to you, and let them guide your actions. This long-term perspective can provide a sense of purpose and stability, helping you navigate election anxiety with resilience and determination.
Karen Howard is the CEO and Executive Director of Organic & Natural Health Association, leading the organization for consumer health advocacy since its inception in 2014. With four decades of experience in healthcare policy, government relations, and organizational leadership, she is a visionary in advancing healthcare initiatives. She is the author of "Upset is Optional: Say Goodbye to Unnecessary Suffering" (March 2024), focusing on strategies to manage stress and anxiety.

11 SEP 2024 · So what happened to love? What’s behind the growing trend of "situationships" and why has this scenario been made even more precarious for Black women and other women of color? For anyone who’s been left wondering whether or not they are witnessing the collective collapse of traditional romantic love, sociologist Sabrina Strings has the answer– yes, they are, and the evidence is all around us.
In THE END OF LOVE: Racism, Sexism, and the Death of Romance, Strings blends historical research, personal stories, and critical analysis of popular culture to trace the path that she believes has led to the demise of romantic partnerships, with an emphasis on how racism and anti-feminist ideology have been the driving force behind it.
Sabrina Strings, professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, will discuss: *How changes brought forward during the Civil Rights era resulted in Black men distancing themselves from Black and “insufficiently white” women and aligning themselves with white men in order to pursue a rise in personal status. *How men’s media counseled its audience to be wary of women’s intentions, narrowly selective in their choice of partners, or to avoid marriage all together. *The rise and fall of the Black is Beautiful movement. *The problematic portrayal of Black women in popular culture. *How the widespread availability of porn online has influenced sexual relationships and men’s expectations for partners.
Sabrina Strings, PhD is professor and North Hall Chair of Black Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her book, Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia, won the 2020 Body and Embodiment Best Publication Award given by the American Sociological Association and was an Honorable Mention in the 2020 Sociology of Sex and Gender Distinguished Book Award, given by the American Sociological Association.

8 SEP 2024 · Just as big pharma has recently discovered a simple mechanism to reverse weight gain and obesity, it is highly likely that soon, we will discover something equally simple that triggers the onset of aging, postulates https://u7061146.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=u001.gqh-2BaxUzlo7XKIuSly0rCw-2BxUjmuGqXRqCPPC3XkeDoKwAnRsQQNbgW8omGus2fy1GFx_k-2FJyLFxkGkNSUigfTVsX6Z8aYLyXO8PiKntPdlA-2BRC2wsRvBrmpFHwRMKfZkDmvBxUxs6eZLoYhuVmmxxvWULJ9j-2F1hdIg6ClRGGWmt-2BoKJ2mIQXUZyHpqEaxk5spSwLtrohW8PksmBfAz0C1sM4yYGOuUFTnV5kIaYqxE7991onDZhRbg-2BQJGX-2BMXZykraZVK-2Bx8vuOkJaZoSdymy8jkZ00PrmhwGPHIhD8Cw1Bwtsm76DxOcqlYlUErQh2OXqI8Pgwae68-2Bos-2BK8BiGSIfFUZA9ZWljb-2BAscEQcUbSIWeLhrojmzMvc-2BtrosVgOS-2BnsbdV96A2P3-2FtHMBDrWR9bg-3D-3D, a distinguished physician and professor at Cedars-Sinai and the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA who is considered one of the pioneers of emergency medicine. It could be as simple as a protein we can block. And with AI speeding up research, Geiderman firmly believes the day we “cure” aging is not far off. This entirely plausible concept is the basis for his novel, https://u7061146.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=u001.gqh-2BaxUzlo7XKIuSly0rC13zLRWSSa6uTjfR6pydH-2FGF-2FjshrF72FsHupwqdp0rGzQw8S2Ybo8ZDmMH8QVyrS-2Fjm1Qr98aFg9tTWABsTH90-3DrSaV_k-2FJyLFxkGkNSUigfTVsX6Z8aYLyXO8PiKntPdlA-2BRC2wsRvBrmpFHwRMKfZkDmvBxUxs6eZLoYhuVmmxxvWULJ9j-2F1hdIg6ClRGGWmt-2BoKJ2mIQXUZyHpqEaxk5spSwLtrohW8PksmBfAz0C1sM4yYGOuUFTnV5kIaYqxE7991onDZhRbg-2BQJGX-2BMXZykraZVK-2Bx8vuOkJaZoSdymy8jkcTvkzYxhYlCzQ88ZTJ-2FGM3-2FNRYBkirkv0A5Y-2Fy-2FOv0PzGymWvbq0EIWLnhWw0VRfpFhI-2BXdjQbMpAVgbRqE66buNdRg0wwgXN-2FOm6-2FVtd670Zw8f2vnWZWmt27aO5Jdfg-3D-3D. But then what? Geiderman cautions that so much could go wrong, and that society and our planet are simply not ready for nature’s course to change. He’d be happy to chat with you about this. Among the concerns he points to are:
- An ever-expanding population that will skew increasingly toward older people and could ostensibly double in number every twenty years.
- Uncertainty around whether Earth really has the natural resources - from energy to water and food - to support this ongoing population growth.
- Doubt about how to meet the increased need for infrastructure -- everything from transportation and housing to education and healthcare facilities.
- Questions over social issues such as entitlements such as social security and how to finance them as the number of retired people grows as a share of the population.
- Matters of equity: who would have access to the new treatments? What about those left behind?
- Moral issues such as: would we be interfering with a divine plan? Doesn’t nature know best?
And in times like these, we must also consider:
- The risk of older generations maintaining a grip on top leadership positions to the detriment of change and renewal; and
- The potential dangers of lifetime terms for people in public office (e.g., the Supreme Court).
As the father of the atomic bomb Robert Oppenheimer said, “The deep things in science are not found because they are useful; they are found because it is possible to find them.”
