t’s 10am and someone at school is celebrating a birthday. Most likely the kids are being served cupcakes or sweet snacks. They get all sugared up and then crash. And that crash can be really bad. Well, I’m “that” mom that doesn’t like this well honored practice. If there is a function at school, I will bring more healthy alternatives. Most of the time what I bring is a big hit and, rarely, it’s a big flop. More than once my son has been known to say, “Mom, can’t you just cook normal?” In reality, give kids healthy options and they will joyfully gobble them up.As I kid, I did cook normally, using lots of sugar and refined flours. Looking back, this was my way of keeping a steady stream of carbs and sugar in my life. I was, and am, a sugar sensitive person. That means I can’t eat just one cookie, my brain goes a little wacky and insists that I eat 8 more to satisfy my craving. Believe it or not, this is a very common issue. If you can’t eat just 1 sugary or carb filled snack without craving more, then you may be sugar sensitive as well. My favorite book on this topic is “Potatoes not Prozac” by Dr. Kathleen DesMaisons. I highly recommend it for some great tips on how to stop the sugar craving cycle.My basic advice to all my patients is to eat whole foods, drink lots of clean water, and eat little to no grains. Not only will this give you lots of great energy, it will also help you maintain a healthy weight. Your plate should be mostly seasonal veggies, and a small portion of clean protein. Your brain and body need healthy fat so don’t buy low-fat processed foods such as skim milk or low-fat cheese. Go for the whole fat, organic, raw if possible, dairy. Eggs are a great source of protein, so enjoy them often. Fruits are fine in moderation as they are high in fructose, which is really just sugar as far as your body is concerned. Remember to eat fruits and veggies that are in season. You don’t want to be eating strawberries in December and acorn squash in June. For one thing, they won’t be very tasty.The simple and easy way to start is by making a plan. Take time each week to plan out from 1 to all your meals and shop for those meals. When you arrive home tired and famished, you’ll be happy that you have a plan and a stocked fridge. I suggest planning simple meals that take less than 30 minutes to cook. For example, baked chicken breast served with roasted cauliflower and green beans can be done in the oven altogether. Try some whole fat organic yogurt with nuts and fresh fruit for dessert. Now that’s a meal even a kid would love. Start simple and make it easy for yourself. Before you know it you’ll be eating healthy and feeling great.Donna Parker LAc. joins Mark Alyn on Late Night Health.

Is Marijuana a Viable Alternative to Opioid Use for Pain Management?Dr. Constance Scharff, the director of addiction research at the Cliffside Malibu addiction treatment center in Malibu, California, did not expect to be an advocate for medical marijuana legalization. But when she saw data indicating that states with medical marijuana laws showed a 25% decrease in opioid-related overdose deaths, she began to change her tune. It is estimated that in 2016, more than 50,000 people in the United States will die from accidental overdose. If 25% could be saved by legalizing medical marijuana, that would tremendous for thousands of families.How much pain should we tolerate? While the USA has 5% of the world’s population, we use at least 80% of the world’s pain medications. Part of this trend may be that Americans have developed an expectation to be pain free in all circumstances. But pain is a symptom of other issues, and those underlying issues need to be addressed.There are negatives to medical marijuana legalization. First, marijuana is ten times more powerful than it was decades ago. Though not considered a “gateway drug,” as it once was, marijuana is addictive in its own right. Second, marijuana for pain treatment is not recommended for those who already have a substance abuse problem or are in recovery from addiction. Those people have an altered brain structure from their addiction and marijuana use is likely to take them back to their original drug of choice.Still, when given an option to legally use marijuana in place of opioids, many people choose marijuana. Because marijuana is not as lethal as opioids, it may be a good choice for some people to manage chronic pain. There are other alternatives too, including: acupuncture, meditation, and yoga. Look into all your pain management options if you suffer from chronic pain.air date: 12/23/16

More than half of American adults surveyed this year say the 2016 presidential election has been a major source of stress that will continue on through inauguration in mid-January. Our guest on Late Night Health, Dr. Ken Redcross, a specialist in internal medicine, says in addition to being bombarded with news, gossip and unrealistic deadlines at every turn, the holiday season will bring plenty more to stress about. These stressors include annual office and family holiday parties, an influx of foods we rarely eat and the financial stress of making it through to the new year.Dr. Ken Redcross shares with Late Night host, Mark Alyn, that short-term stress can make you more susceptible to illness, but chronic stress can be the source of major diseases including colds and infections, heart problems and coronary diseases, diabetes, obesity, depression and chronic fatigue syndrome. He says that if stress is indeed the cause, many of these potentially life-threatening diseases can be avoided in less than 15 minutes a day by adding some simple self-care, stress reduction makeovers to your daily routine.At the onset of any anxiety, Redcross says creating your own personal self-care system can significantly reduce the cycle of chronic stress and give you a boost of relief when you need it the most.

Millions of Americans stay hush-hush about illnesses like cancer, HPV, lupus and depression. Women, more so than men, often keep their lips sealed when it comes to health problems, but keeping quiet can be costly to your health. Our guest on Late Night Health, Dr. Christine Horner, natural health expert and award-winning author, says that while modern medicine has done much to eradicate and cure diseases, more research must be conducted to find new solutions to help women become not only more aware of the warning signs of certain diseases, but knowledgeable on how to prevent them in the first place.Dr. Horner shares with Late Night host, Mark Alyn, four disease conditions that modern medicine provides few answers to and the natural medicine game-changers that can help reverse the diagnosis – all tips that can be found in her new book, “Radiant Health, Ageless Beauty.” She says women do not need to feel victimized or stigmatized by diseases such as lupus, HPV, depression and breast cancer. There are proactive steps women can take to change the destiny of their diagnosis.Many diseases can carry a lot of stigma, which causes women to want to hide their diagnosis. Dr. Horner says being secretive and in the dark about your health status will only hurt you in the end because the stress of not knowing what to do and having no support, will only cause the condition to escalate.  Join Mark Alyn on Late Night Health to learn what health secrets women are hiding and how to get help.air date: 12/9/16

Joanne Halbrecht, MD joins Mark Alyn to talk about orthopedic stem cell therapy and how it all works.Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC's) were first isolated from bone marrow by Dr. Arnold Caplan in 1988. He found that when he combined the MSC's with certain chemicals in the lab, they were able to differentiate in to a variety of tissues such as cartilage, bone and tendon. Since 1988, extensive study of MSC's have proven that they do so much more! In the body, MSC's do not differentiate like they do in the lab. They are attracted to areas of inflammation and injury and act like little drug stores, releasing chemicals that signal the cells around them. MSC's are powerful anti-inflammatories, counteracting inflammation and the breakdown of cartilage. They signal the dormant stem cells in damaged cartilage to grow and proliferate. They inhibit scar tissue formation, promote the growth of blood vessels and accelerate healing. Thus, within our own bodies, we have the potential to heal ourselves.Studies have shown that a single stem cell injection continues to relieve pain in osteoarthritic knees in 75% of the patients at 2 year follow up. A study conducted at USC and published in 2014 injected stem cells in patients after surgery for meniscus tears. No one in the control group (no stem cells) grew new meniscus, but some patients who received the stem cells regenerated more than 15% of their meniscus. The failure or re-tear rate for rotator cuff repair in a 70 year old is about 40%. A rotator cuff repair study published in 2014 with a 10 year follow up showed failure rate of 56% in a group that did not receive stem cells at the time of surgery and failure rate of 13% in those who did. The average age of patients at the beginning of the study was 61.There are more stem cells in fat than in bone marrow. The more stem cells, the better the response. The number of stem cells in bone marrow sharply declines with age whereas the number of stem cells in fat remains fairly constant. Unless I am performing a rotator cuff repair, I harvest fat from the patient in the office under local anesthesia. The fat is injected soon after it is harvested. The procedure takes about an hour to perform. Some patients may need physical therapy afterwards. Often, return to impact activities occurs within 4 weeks. Most patients experience a beneficial effect within 2 weeks, others take up to 4 months.air date: 11/25/16

The holidays and the New Year can be stressful. Travel, snowstorms, lack of sunshine, and other issues can raise our blood pressure. One cure? The Blu Room, a new form of relaxation therapy.Created in the pine forests in Washington State, it's a new technology that protects users from the outside world and wraps them in soft ultraviolet light. The sessions last 20 minutes and consist of UV-B light, music and meditation in a relaxing environment. It’s not a tanning device. Participants wear regular clothing. The Blu Room provides only UVB Narrowband fluorescent light, along with visible blue LED light. Users have reported benefits such as:• Improved health• Increased creativity• Faster healing process• Greater self-awareness• Pain relief• Relief from stress and anxietyWhen the brain isn't responding the outside environment, the mind is free to relax, free associate, or hold a relaxed state of focus. Many customers are using the Blu Room to explore their deeper creative being.There are many studies on the benefits of a short nap, which provides significant improved alertness and performance.The Blu Room, which looks like a futuristic octagon with mirrors, blue light, and a massage table in the middle, was invented by well-known author and spiritual leader JZ Knight. Ramtha the Enlightened One has been channeling through JZ Knight since 1977. In the early 1990s, Ramtha taught about the healing power of the fourth level which he describes as Bridge Consciousness and Ultraviolet Blue Energy. He has described the Blu Room as an odyssey that can take you to the fourth level for a while.The Blu Room experience varies from person to person. It bumps you into a different part of your brain and opens a door for a new mind perspective. Many users have described it as being deeply relaxing, lifting their mood, and bringing about a state of slightly detached calm or peace. A common side benefit of this state is a relief from aches and pains. Some experience dynamic shifts in perspective and spiritual insights. Others have reported profound personal healing. Since the mind is the greatest healer and the mind is inextricably intertwined with DNA, the Blu Room can augment a person's natural healing abilities.In addition to a vitamin D boost, it is theorized that the Blu Room also triggers the brain to release endorphins. Among other effects, the secretion of endorphins induces a sense of euphoria and enhances the immune response. With higher endorphin levels, one feels less pain and is less affected by stress.For customers interested in optimizing personal goals, a weekly session is recommended, others enjoy twice or three times per week.air date 12/16/16

Over 40 million people suffer from anxiety in the United States. Anxiety is when your body prepares to go into fight or flight in the face of perceived danger. Living with chronic anxiety can become debilitating, creeping into all the aspects of your life and leaving you unable to cope with daily activities. Substance abuse is twice as likely to be exhibited in a person dealing with anxiety. That is, self-medicating to lower their anxiety and have a moment of calm and peace. This reprieve is short lived unfortunately. The anxiety increases as the addiction sets in. When the drugs or alcohol wear off, the symptoms or anxiety return and they bring with them the symptoms of withdrawal from the drugs or alcohol as well. This only exacerbates the problem and creates another set of issues for individuals with anxiety. Psychotherapeutic techniques can help you manage your anxiety and help you maintain a life with sobriety. Here are some ways you can reduce anxiety in your life.Begin by going outside and getting some sunshine and exercise. It doesn’t matter if this is only for a few minutes. Start small and build yourself up. Exercise, in general, helps mediate your anxiety symptoms. Try to get at least 8 hours of sleep a night.Take a moment out of your day to do some deep breathing techniques. They help calm your levels of anxiety. Work on not being as critical and negative. Our levels of anxiety are directly related to how we interpret the world around us and how well we think we can manage them. Just changing how we frame things makes a world of difference. Find a good treatment center or therapist. Finding a good support system is very helpful in dealing with addiction.Educate yourself on what anxiety is. Anxiety with treatment does get better. With some training and tools you too can be living the life you deserve to live. air date: 11/11-16
