Can love survive the onslaught of chronic illness? Writer Sarah Cart shares how she became one of 39 million Americans taking care of an ailing loved one in ON MY WAY BACK TO YOU, One Couple’s Journey through Catastrophic Illness to Healing and Hope (Forefront Books; April 2, 2024). “My husband, Ben, just past his mid-fifties, was irrepressibly healthy and energetic until, suddenly, he wasn’t.” In suspenseful and heart-rending detail, Cart recounts how, beginning with an incurable autoimmune disease, her husband developed one life-threatening condition after another. As each month passed, she felt her best friend, this brilliant businessman, successful entrepreneur, and energetically engaged and organized father to their four sons, slipping away, until eventually they received devastating news: Ben needed a heart transplant. But that was only the tip of the iceberg. Two weeks after the COVID-19 lockdown, they realized Ben’s body was shutting down and his only hope was to get on the list and get that transplant now—in the midst of a pandemic.
And that wasn’t even half of what was to come.
Thrust into the role of nurse and caregiver, Cart required a deep well of faith, grit, and grace as she confronted doubts, fears, endless setbacks, aggravations, and red tape while struggling to help Ben regain whatever he could of all that had been lost.
Cart reminds us that “there is certainly no promise that the health we enjoy this evening will be with us in the morning” and provides guidance for others in her shoes. Sooner or later, everyonewill either become a caregiver or need one. To help when time comes, she shares the questions to ask, the notes to take, the signs to never overlook, and the self-care necessary for the caregiver.
ON MY WAY BACK TO YOU is more than a chronicle of Ben’s illness. It’s about love, resiliency, and the power of community: “When Ben was in the hospital, I felt all the people who’d ever loved him shining their light from the far reaches of the universe each time I begged them to do so.” It’s a roadmap through some of life’s greatest challenges and the journey of two people who used the power of love, determination, and endless patience to find their way back to each other.

As the holiday season approaches, the pressure to shed extra pounds intensifies. Many are turning to trendy weight loss solutions like GLP-1 inhibitors—such as Ozempic and Wegovy—hoping for rapid results. But at what cost? While these medications have gained popularity for their effectiveness, experts warn that they come with hidden risks that could compromise long-term health.With nearly 100 million Americans struggling with obesity, GLP-1 inhibitors seem like a quick fix. However, could this shortcut to weight loss be trading pounds for health problems? Let’s explore the lesser-known dangers of these medications and how you can protect your well-being.The Silent Dangers of GLP-1 Inhibitors—and How to Mitigate Them1. Gastrointestinal Issues: More Than Just an Upset StomachWhy It Matters: Many dismiss nausea or vomiting as minor inconveniences. But did you know these symptoms could point to something much more severe?The Risk: GLP-1 drugs can lead to gastroparesis—a condition where the stomach doesn’t empty properly. This can result in chronic digestive issues that might become irreversible.What You Can Do: Start Slow: Doctors should begin with the lowest possible dose, increasing gradually while monitoring for symptoms. Stay Hydrated and Eat Fiber: Patients can manage mild gastrointestinal issues by staying hydrated and incorporating a fiber-rich diet. 2. Accelerated Muscle Loss: The Hidden Weight Loss ConcernWhy It Matters: Weight loss isn’t always equal. Losing muscle mass, not just fat, can slow down metabolism, increase frailty, and make long-term weight maintenance harder.The Risk: Muscle loss linked to GLP-1 drugs can make daily activities a struggle, especially for older adults.What You Can Do: Exercise Matters: Weight-bearing exercises can help, though not everyone can stick with them. Consider Fortetropin: This natural bioactive compound from fertilized egg yolk has shown promising results. A recent study by the University of California, Berkeley revealed an 18% increase in muscle protein synthesis in adults aged 66—even without exercise. Available exclusively through healthcare practitioner lines like MYOS MD, Fortetropin could be a valuable addition to your weight loss plan. 3. Off-Label Misuse: When Weight Loss Becomes RiskyWhy It Matters: GLP-1 inhibitors are meant for specific medical conditions. Misusing them for quick cosmetic fixes can backfire.The Risk: Rebound weight gain is common after stopping these drugs. Worse, the regained weight often comes back as fat, not muscle, leading to an even higher fat-to-muscle ratio than before.What You Can Do: Understand the Risks: Patients should fully comprehend the intended use of GLP-1 drugs and the consequences of off-label use. Prioritize Lifestyle Changes: Balanced nutrition and regular exercise remain the most sustainable solutions for long-term weight management. 4. Mental Health Side Effects: The Emotional Toll of GLP-1 DrugsWhy It Matters: Mental health often takes a backseat in weight loss journeys, but psychological well-being is crucial for long-term success.The Risk: Users have reported mood swings and heightened anxiety. Experts believe these drugs might be affecting the brain’s reward system in unexpected—and dangerous—ways.What You Can Do: Stay Connected: Open conversations with healthcare providers about mental health symptoms are vital. Seek Support: Incorporate stress-reducing activities like mindfulness, yoga, or counseling into your routine to manage mood and anxiety. The Bottom Line: Balancing Weight Loss and Overall HealthWhile GLP-1 inhibitors offer promising weight loss benefits, they are not without risks. From digestive complications to muscle loss and mental health challenges, the potential downsides warrant careful consideration.Before turning to medications like Ozempic or Wegovy, focus on sustainable lifestyle changes. If these drugs are part of your weight loss journey, work closely with healthcare professionals to monitor for potential issues and incorporate supportive measures like Fortetropin, exercise, and mental health care.Weight loss should enhance your life, not complicate it. Choose health first, always. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/late-night-health-radio--2804369/support .…
Mike Cobb, author of The Devil You Know and its sequel You Will Know Me by My Deeds , discusses his writing journey and the inspiration behind his character-driven crime novels. Cobb began his writing career with Dead Reckoning , a historical crime fiction novel set in 1895 Atlanta, based on the real-life murder of a prominent merchant. Fascinated by crime, particularly cold cases, Cobb weaves his passion for history and storytelling into his work.Drawing from personal experiences and extensive research, Cobb’s books focus on characters like Billy Tarwater, the protagonist of his recent novels. Cobb describes Billy as a reflection of his younger self, embodying a strong connection to his Atlanta roots. For Cobb, compelling characters take precedence over plot, with their development guiding the story.The author also delves into the darker aspects of his writing. His upcoming book will fictionalize the execution-style murder of a young woman he knew personally, a case he has investigated for years. Cobb acknowledges the emotional and personal risks of addressing real-life tragedies but feels driven to explore them through fiction.In discussing crime fiction’s evolution, Cobb emphasizes the power of subtlety, preferring to leave graphic details to the reader’s imagination. He believes this approach enhances the impact of his stories. Additionally, Cobb touches on the role of historical fiction, blending fact with creative storytelling while ensuring an engaging narrative.With a fourth book set for release in April, Cobb remains dedicated to shedding light on unsolved mysteries and societal issues through his unique blend of historical context and character-driven plots. Readers can find his works on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Mike joins Mark Alyn on this edition of Late Night Health.

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.

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.

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.

It’s estimated that 44 million Americans experience hearing loss, but only one-fifth get help. Research has shown that there is a significant relationship between hearing loss, cognitive decline and depression in the elderly. In 2022, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that hearing aids can be sold over-the-counter without a prescription to adults over the age of 18. This long sought-after change helps consumers frustrated by expensive exams and even more expensive devices. World-renowned hearing expert Professor De Wet Swanepoel explains what this means for consumers this edition of Late Night Health. Learn how adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss are now able to buy OTC hearing aids online and in stores, without a prescription. The high cost of prescription hearing aids, which are not covered by basic Medicare, has discouraged millions from buying the devices. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT HEARING LOSS SOLUTIONS : ADVICE — Top hearing health & hearing loss prevention guidance CUTTING-EDGE — How hearing solutions like Lexie’s OTC hearing aids can change lives CHANGING THE STIGMA — How hearing loss impacts millions of Americans CRITICAL NEED — 700 million people worldwide will require hearing help by 2050 SPOKESPERSON BACKGROUND: De Wet Swanepoel, PhD. is professor of Audiology at the University of Pretoria, where he leads research for the World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Center for the Prevention of Deafness and Hearing Loss. He also holds an adjunct professorship at the University of Colorado School of Medicine as well as the former . His research is focused on innovative digital solutions and service-delivery models for more equitable hearing care. Dr. Swanepoel has published more than 280 peer-reviewed articles, books and book chapters and is funded by the NIH, UK Academy of Medical Sciences, National Research Foundation, and hearing health industry.

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 Joel Geiderman , 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, The Plasma Cell Report . 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.” Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/late-night-health-radio--2804369/support .…
