The number one cause of death in America is cardiovascular disease. On average, somebody dies of a heart attack or stroke every 36 seconds. After losing several family members to heart disease, today's guest also came very close to being one of these statistics. Until he discovered nitric oxide, a molecule that was awarded a Nobel Prize in medicine for reversing heart disease.

After successfully regaining his health, he formulated Cardio Miracle. It offers superior nitric oxide assimilation with over 50 whole-food synergistic nutrients. This heart-healthy product also helps boost the immune system, improve focus, memory, performance, and energy.

John Hewlett has spent over nine years of his life researching and traveling across the globe to meet with renowned scientists, doctors, and nutritionists on the topic of nitric oxide production. He used this knowledge to formulate the revolutionary product Cardio Miracle. He's now on a mission to share this amazing discovery with those suffering from health conditions that can now be reduced and even reversed.

Today’s topic may challenge everything you thought you knew about health and wellness. Most of us turn to doctors or Google for answers, trusting that what we find will be the best path to healing. But here’s the reality: even the nation's top hospitals aren’t focused on truly preventing or reversing disease.

To help us cut through the noise and get to the core of what really works, we’re joined by Dr. Casey Means, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Good Energy. If you’re tired of misinformation or fed up with medications that cause side effects that require even more medications, then you’re in the right place. Dr. Means is here to simplify it all and remind you that your greatest ally in health is the person you see in the mirror. This is a conversation you don’t want to miss!

Weight loss is one of our top health concerns, so much so that we keep looking for good ways to lose weight, preferably a way that is easy, effective, and permanent. It turns out that, when properly chosen, certain foods cause weight loss, with no need for the deprivation and planning that most weight-loss regimens require.

In his next book, leading nutrition researcher and author Dr. Neal Barnard reveals three breakthroughs that are supported by research, revealing that certain foods:
1. can reduce the appetite
2. trap calories so they are flushed away and cannot be absorbed, and,
3. increase the body's ability to burn calories for about three hours after each meal. These breakthroughs make weight loss incredibly easy, without calorie counting or deprivation. This diet encourages people to eat, not to stop eating. Dr. Barnard also reveals that some of the foods we think are good for us can actually be harmful, like salmon, goat cheese, and coconut oil, all of which pass easily into body fat...and often overstay their welcome. To make it easy, Dr. Barnard will include a simple to follow meal plan that includes delicious, and even indulgent recipes which include foods we have often been told to avoid, like potatoes and pasta, so you can eat real food, and still lose real weight.

The New Approach to Health:
Using Power Foods to Cause Rapid, Permanent Weight Loss
Scientists have found that certain foods trigger weight loss automatically. Unlike the usual approach to dieting which focuses on going hungry and avoiding the foods you love, the Power Foods approach encourages you to add specific foods that cause weight loss.
Power Foods work in three ways: First, they trigger satiety, taming your appetite so that you naturally eat less. Second, they trap calories in your digestive tract and carry them out with the wastes. Third, they ramp up your metabolism, so you burn calories faster hour after hour.

There are dozens of Power Foods, including common, everyday foods, like blueberries, melons, apples, and asparagus, as well as certain spices (cinnamon, ginger, and hot peppers). Blueberries, for example, get their color from anthocyanins, which have been associated with weight loss in research studies. Cinnamon contains a natural ingredient that boosts metabolism. Weight loss can be as easy as including these foods in your daily routine, say, with French toast made with cinnamon and topped with blueberry syrup.
The Power Foods and how to use them are spelled out in the Power Foods Diet, the new book by Neal Barnard, MD, author of the best-sellers Power Foods for the Brain and The 21-Day Weight-Loss Kickstart.

In this scientifically proven program, Power Foods do the work for you at home, at restaurants—anywhere you eat. You will never count calories again. And while exercise is always a good idea, the program works whether you exercise or not.
The Power Foods Diet includes 120 mouthwatering recipes, from French Toast and Wild Blueberry Muffins to Creamy Chipotle Butternut Soup, Southwest Chili, and Pesto Spaghetti with Broccoli and Sundried Tomatoes. And don’t forget dessert! The Power Foods ingredients are built into Blueberry Pops, Triple Berry No Churn Sorbet, a Fruity Banana Split, and Carrot Cake. There are also plenty of tips for people who prefer convenience foods or who generally eat in restaurants.

The approach is revolutionary:
• Power Foods bring you a healthier weight, healthier cholesterol level, lower blood pressure, and healthier blood sugar.
• Power Foods boost your energy, making you look and feel younger.
• Power Foods let you end “dieting” forever.
• Power Food allow you to enjoy eating again—at home or restaurants. No more skimpy portions.
• Among the Power Foods are those under study for their ability to reduce the risk of cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.

As we age, our cells naturally lose the ability to combat disease, our memory declines and we lose our zest for life.

But Sayer Ji says we are not prisoners of our genes, and we all have untapped potential for self-regeneration and radical healing. He is the founder of GreenMedInfo.com, the world’s largest open-access natural health database.

Sayer and Dr. Friedman cover a range of topics in this episode, including how food conveys essential biological information, modern medicine vs. "the new biology," and the health benefits of an ancestral diet.

After 25 years of doing radio shows with health experts, Dr. Friedman says there are really just 3 things people want: they want to upgrade their brain, they want to optimize their body and defy aging. 

Ben Greenfield's new book Boundless covers all those bases. He's a human performance consultant, a former bodybuilder and a 13-time author. 

He joins Dr. Friedman to talk about his newest title, finding the best diet for your body with genetic testing, and getting outside (with or without shoes).

Between Coronavirus and the political landscape right now, leaving it all to live a remote life in the mountains sounds pretty good right now, doesn't it?

Well, that's what Gary Collins did almost a decade ago. With a background in the military, Gary now lives off-the-grid part of the year in a remote area of NE Washington State and spends the rest of the year exploring in his travel trailer with his trusty black lab Barney.

Gary talks about how he ended up living this life, what he's learned off the grid and how you can build a remote life for yourself if you choose. He also covers how you can simplify and uncluttered your current life.

Control what is in you. Eat healthy, live whole foods. The shorter the time from tree to tasting, from ground to gourmet, the more positive energy you will receive. Control what is around you. Stay away from chronically toxic people and situations. Stay off of negative social media. Eliminate clutter, physical and spiritual. Clean lines and open spaces in your living area can provide calmness and serenity. Purge yourself of emotional clutter like trapped emotions. Literally “ground” yourself. This concept is also known as “earthing.” You know that great feeling you have after a day at the beach? That is about more than a day of relaxation. Standing or walking in bare feet in grass, sand, or even on a concrete surface that is immediately above the soil can rid your body of ever-so-damaging negative energy. Embrace joy. As they say, “laughter is the best medicine.” Share random hugs and smiles. Think about all you have to be grateful for and share that gratitude. Keep negative energy at bay with positive thoughts and acts. Slow down and love the little things. Humans have adopted the rat race as a way of life, and it need not be that way. There is nothing and no one more important than YOU. Make sure you have sufficient alone time and use it to enjoy what makes you content. A walk in the woods, smelling fresh-cut grass, watching children play, a day of reading... The possibilities are endless.

Widespread fear of getting the coronavirus has made self-serve salad bars and all-you-can-eat buffets a thing of the past!  In fact, the country’s leading buffet restaurant chain, Golden Corral is changing its format and removing its self-serve buffets. Many Las Vegas casinos have seen their final buffet days and so have cruise-lines.  All this comes from a fear of touching utensils that others have touched. Considering people touch their cell phones (contaminated with 17,000 germs, including E. coli) and doorknobs, menus, elevator buttons, and armrests that thousands of people have touched, where do we draw the line?

Dr. Anthony Fauci, a key member of the government’s coronavirus task force, recently announced that he recommends people should never shake hands again! Even when the pandemic is over, he says we should permanently cease handshaking and giving our friends a high five.  

If we allow ourselves to become germaphobes, this will lower our immune system and increase our risk of getting sick.  Germs are our friends. We need them. In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Friedman shares why. 

We've covered a LOT of diets on this show. From fasting to keto, vegan to paleo, each diet has one common focus: longevity!

Science journalist Marta Zaraska says it's not just diet and exercise that helps with our longevity, it's a support network of family and friends.

Join Dr. Friedman as he explores how the secret to a living a longer life may not be on your plate or fork, but rather through empathy and kindness.

Music is something most people enjoy but research shows it also has therapeutic and healing properties.

Music can help decrease chronic pain and lower depression. The right song can stimulate serotonin and dopamine levels, the body’s neurotransmitters that regulate emotional well-being. It can help lower heart rate, blood pressure, and reduce the stress hormone called cortisol.

Joining Dr. Friedman is Bill Protzmann, an accomplished musician who has spent decades studying the healing power of music.

He is a successful IT entrepreneur who holds magna cum laude degrees in piano performance and creative writing. He’s an Associate Member of the American Music Therapy Association and a member of the Healing Music Organization.

Dr. Friedman chats with Bill on how to use music functionally in everyday situations including improving performance at work, strengthening communication and relationship skills, and combatting depression.
