Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Melinda Arcara discuss the following:When you search the Words “Gluten-Free Books” on Amazon.com you get 21,000 results. What makes this book different than all the other books on the market?The book is titled 3 Steps to Gluten-Free Living. Why 3 steps? Isn’t eating gluten-free all about what to eliminate? For example, couldn’t you just say “Eliminate anything that contain wheat, barley and rye” and the chapter would be over?The back cover of the book calls it a guidebook. People go on diets all the time, what makes eating gluten-free so different that it needs a manual?Why would someone want this book rather than searching on the internet?If someone was diagnosed with Celiac today what would you tell them to get them started?
Duration: 14:47
As the baby of ten children, Melinda or “the Bebe” as her dad nicknamed her, went through the first forty years of her life with lots of family love & support but she never felt healthy. Suffering from unexplained symptoms including migraines, stomach pains, anemia, anxiety, weight fluctuations, and joint pain, she was finally diagnosed with a gluten intolerance in 2010. For Melinda, this diagnosis was as a blessing, not a curse as she learned how to be gluten-free and to finally feel better. After much trial and error and significant expense, she has written a new book available on Amazon, 3 Steps to Gluten-Free Living that wants to save newly diagnosed gluten-intolerant and celiac sufferers time, money, and energy to getting on a path to better health and to 100 percent gluten-free living for life!
3 Steps to Gluten-Free Living is a practical, step-by-step guide for anyone who has recently been diagnosed with Celiac or supporting someone with a gluten-related disorder and is left with difficult question “where do I start?”
br/>Sorting through all the information about becoming gluten-free can be frustrating and time-consuming—and purchasing everything labeled “gluten-free” can be expensive. “My first 4 years of being gluten-free were stressful and expensive. I wrote the book to help others become compliant to the diet quicker and easier than I did” says Arcara.
This book is written to be a practical, step-by-step guide to the elimination of gluten from your diet, the transition of your heart and your home (including your pantry), and the substitution of products and ingredients for your recipes and meals. Over 100 products and brands are referenced in the book.
The book emphasizes a holistic approach including eating whole, clean, local, and healthy, which is important when starting your gluten free journey and for being truly compliant to a gluten-free diet.
In a friendly tone that incorporates humor and inspiring enthusiasm, 3 Steps to Gluten-Free Living teaches that gluten-free eating can be healthy—if you do it the right way.
Topics covered include:Alternative gluten-free grainsReading labelsSubstitutable ingredients & productsShopping & brandsEating-out & social situationsTravelingPositive attitude & family support
Helping you get organized with thought-provoking exercises, recipes, tips, facts, and plenty of space for notes, 3 Steps to Gluten-Free Living has everything you need to quickly feel the benefits of the gluten-free lifestyle.
Author Melinda Lawer Arcara, a.k.a. Gluten-Free Bebe, is a blogger (www.glutenfreebebe.com) and graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

Friday May 13, 2016
Roberta Perry, President of ScrubzBody™ Natural Skin Care that creates small batch, handcrafted products that makes your skin smile again joins eHealth Radio and the Charity & Skin Care Channel.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Roberta Perry discuss the following:What was your AHA moment to create your signature product, Scrubz™?Why do you call it the busy person's dream product? How can it help their skin issues?Besides money, What is your greatest business success? How did you get involved in charitable giving with your brand?What is "The Breast of Everything?" (breastofeverything.com)
Duration: 11:25
After years of being totally selfless and taking care of everyone else's needs, (ok, that is my own humble opinion, but work with me here) my skin was peeling, dry, itchy and irritated. In 2005, at 43, I decided I was worth taking care of too. I discovered exfoliating products, but like the proverbial Goldilocks, none were completely satisfying my needs & wants. I decided to create my own and headed for the kitchen to play like a "mad chemist". I mixed up different combinations of botanical oils, which are great for skin, and loved my creations. It was not until I did extensive research, however, that I realized how lucky I was with the recipe I had created. I brought in my sister and we started ScrubzBody™ in 2006, in my home. We moved quickly to a renovated garage, and then opened our first manufacturing/store front, in Bethpage, NY in 2011. We have since moved to a much larger space, right in the heart of town. We love it here. All products are handcrafted in small batches. We host “Make your own Scrubz™” parties for kids of all ages. We sell retail and wholesale, with clients such as Whole Foods Markets.
I have been published and quoted in blogs, beauty magazines and various articles. I have had 2 Newsday articles written about my business and have contributed to many others. I was a panelist for the Newsday Connect Small Business Seminar, I was a guest for a natural remedy segment of the Dr. Oz show which aired on 10/24/14, as well as a food related segment which aired on 2/29/16. I received the Nassau County Legislature Trailblazer award for our charity work on 3/21/16. I am a proud member of Indie Business Network, American Made Matters, Bethpage Chamber of Commerce & Bethpage Kiwanis Club.

Ronald D. Blatt, M.D., F.A.C.O.G., has been an expert in the field of women's health for over 30 years. Board-certified gynecologist, expert surgeon and compassionate physician, Dr. Blatt's driving imperative is to treat matters of vaginal health and intimate skin care with knowledge, awareness and respect.
Dr. Blatt has built one of the world's top health care practices in New York City, where he is Chief Surgeon and Medical Director of the Manhattan Center for Vaginal Surgery and the Manhattan Centers for Women's Health. He is also Chairman of the Femnene Corporation, where he developed a revolutionary line of Intimate Skin Care products for mature women.
Located on New York's fabled East Side, the Manhattan Centers staff provides a comprehensive array of gynecological services to a diverse clientele and perform a variety of cosmetic surgery procedures, which include vaginoplasty, labiaplasty, and vaginal rejuvenation. Aware of the fact that it is sometimes difficult for women to talk about the subjects of vaginal looseness, loss of sexual satisfaction or enlarged labia.
Dr. Blatt draws on decades of experience in the ob/gyn field to put patients at ease, answer their questions in an empathetic manner, and provide the knowledgeable consultation and professional treatment women seek.
Dr. Blatt's focus is, and has always been, on the well-being of the total woman. It was this devotion that led to his creation of what he calls his Intimate Skin Care line – with medical benefits specifically formulated for a woman's most private areas: Total feminine skin care that results in greater comfort and sexual self-esteem. His first product, Vulvare, was developed and released to a specialty salon market. Response was so overwhelmingly positive that Dr. Blatt felt encouraged to expand his range of products. Along with his group of research scientists, he went back to the laboratory and created the PrivateRx brand.
Dr. Blatt graduated magna cum laude from the esteemed S.U.N.Y Albany, he then graduated from University of Vermont College of Medicine. Dr. Blatt fulfilled his residency at St. Lukes-Roosevelt Hospital in New York City. As he was particularly sensitive to women's health issues, he decided to invest his time, energy and passion in the field of gynecology. Dedicated to educating women in personal and intimate health care, Dr. Blatt feels that the topic of vaginal health is often neglected. While surgical measures can provide successful results, there are still the everyday concerns that must be tended to. The PrivateRx intimate skin care line is designed to do just that.

Group Homes Australia, a new concept in aged care
Sunday May 01, 2016
Sunday May 01, 2016
Tamar Krebs, Founder and CEO of Group Homes Australia, a new concept in aged care, dementia care which offers a social, supportive and welcoming environment that values independence and living life to the fullest, and feels like home joins eHealth Radio and the Health Care, Mental Health & Senior Care Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Tamar Krebs discuss the following: How is Group Homes Australia different from other aged or dementia care providers in Australia?Why did you start Group Homes Australia?What questions should one ask when they are looking for an aged/dementia care home/environment?Does Group Homes Australia offer high care? How many residents are there and how many care givers?Does the person need to move when they become more frail?Why should a family choose Group Homes Australia for their loved one?
Duration: 8:16
Our commitment at GHA and to each resident is to walk the entire journey each day, from beginning to end.
Our mission is to ensure that people living with dementia also live with dignity.
We achieve this by providing homes that look like, smell like and are like real homes.
Group Homes Australia recognises that today's generation of older Australians want something more than traditional aged care homes. They, and their families, want accommodation that provides high levels of respect and personal care combined within a warm, friendly environment.
Because we limit resident numbers in each of our houses to between 6 and 10 people, we are able to deliver care ratios that are usually one carer to every three residents, which is far higher than most aged care facilities are able to provide.
In this environment, we focus on our residents' abilities, not disabilities. Our residents go on accompanied visits to local shopping centres; they visit hairdressers, buy food and, if they wish, may use our fully equipped kitchens to make favourite dishes – all with carer assistance.
These nurturing factors fit with our philosophy which is to provide new – and better – choices for older Australians; something we have been doing successfully since we opened in 2011.
Group Homes Australia provide a safe, pleasant, and enjoyable environment for every resident. To that end, we stimulate resident interest, personal satisfaction and well-being … and we encourage independence by showing respect for each individual's dignity and pursuit of enjoyable living.
Above all, we provide peace-of-mind to both our residents and their loved ones.
