Ilona Kossoff, Founder of 18 Chestnuts, that recently launched their new collection of distinctly nutritious and artistically blended plant-based soups joins eHealth Radio and the Health and Nutrition Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Ilona Kossoff discuss the following
Preparing healthy foods might seem expensive, time consuming and challenging. Is this true or is there an easy way to give our bodies the nutrients we need in a simpler fashion?
Where did the idea for 18 Chestnuts come from?
Can vegan soups really provide our bodies with maximum nutrition absorption?
Where do you source your soup ingredients from?
Where can consumers purchase 18 Chestnuts’ soups?
18 Chestnuts was founded by Ilona Kossoff. After working in law and accounting, and as CFO of a commercial real estate company she co-owned with her husband, Ilona craved a creative outlet. She completed a 200-hour yoga teaching certification and enrolled in the prestigious Cornell University healthy living nutrition certification program.
Ilona had been passionate about nutrition, health, and good food for much of her life – and making soup for just as many years. So when she received her certification from Cornell, it all clicked. This was the creative spark she had been looking for! She spent the next several months learning, creating, and refining, and 18 Chestnuts was born.

Mark Shinbane, President and CEO of Harvest of the Sea, a pioneer and world leader in high quality, innovative seafood products joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Nutrition Channels.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Mark Shinbane discuss the following:
We hear that frozen seafood is hitting record sales in the U.S. as more households are continuing to buy frozen seafood that is conveniently ready-to-cook. Tell us about some of these record-breaking seafood consumption statistics.
Many consumers think that wild-caught seafood is better for consumption. Can you talk to us about a couple of myth busters: wild versus farm-raised? fresh vs. frozen seafood?
Where did the idea for Seafood Medley come from?
Preparing seafood might seem more difficult than cooking a chicken breast. What is the level of difficulty for cooking chicken vs. your Seafood Medley of scallops, calamari, shrimp and mussels?
Where can consumers purchase Seafood Medley?
For over 60 years, Harvest of the Sea has been a pioneer and world leader in high quality, innovative seafood products, reflecting the core values of founder Bill Shinbane and his family that continue to drive industry standards today.
At the helm of Harvest of the Sea is President and CEO Mark Shinbane who assumed leadership of the company in 2004. Mark’s journey to the top position began as many do in family-owned businesses – at the bottom, working his way up at every level of the company’s operations. As a boy, Mark started with sweeping floors and continued year-after-year to learn every aspect of the business: unloading trucks in the warehouse, manning the production line, working in the Quality Assurance lab and studying the complexities of importing and manufacturing.
By the time Mark graduated from University of California, Los Angeles with a B.S. in Economics and Accounting, he also had the equivalent of a “degree” in seafood manufacturing. After a brief stint at an accounting firm, he agreed to join Harvest of the Sea and work full-time with his father. Mark’s accounting and technological acumen benefitted the company at a critical time in its expansion, bringing new systems and processes to the firm that kept the company on a steady growth track. Today, Harvest of the Sea is a multi-million-dollar seafood supplier to some of the country’s best-known retailers and restaurant operators.
Throughout his career, Mark and his team of culinary specialists have focused on delivering unique, high-value and innovative products to consumers – seafood dishes that are not only delicious but easy for anyone to prepare. It’s a winning formula that has enabled Mark to grow the firm despite intermittent industry challenges and the country’s ever-changing economic cycles.
When he is not solving problems and developing new products with his creative team and overseas partners, Mark relaxes with his passion for audio and music and spends time with his family attending concerts, sporting events, hiking and traveling. Additionally, he enjoys sports cars and driving the many scenic roads throughout Los Angeles and up the Pacific Coast. Mark is also a widely respected and active member of local business groups. For the past 6 years, he has been the Chairman of the L.A. Downtown Industrial Business Improvement District and an active member of his local business association for over 30 years.

Called “genuine,” “caring,” and “the best doctor in the world” by patients, Dr. Turner brings a high degree of empathy, trademark optimism, and in-depth expertise to his practice.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Dr. Michael K. Turner discuss the following:
You have a very well rounded practice with extensive studies in many lanes. What would you say is your favorite area of expertise? What is your East meets West approach?
Talk to us about when Covid hit and how did you pivot during that time in your practice?
Tell us your research and data on treating patients with Ivermectin.
We saw you put out a Covid prevention plan and treatment plan, tell us how one prevents contracting Covid.
What about your telemedicine platform. What types of patients would benefit from this and do you see this as the future for medicine practice?
Patients seek you out from all over the country. What is the one advice you want to share with every one on keeping healthy during this time.
Dr. Michael K. Turner is an Integrative Medicine Physician and Men’s Health Specialist based in Tri-Cities, Washington. Called “genuine,” “caring,” and “the best doctor in the world” by patients, he brings a high degree of empathy, trademark optimism, and in-depth expertise to his practice. Providing world-class health/wellness advice on topics that include holistic COVID care and chronic illness, he harnesses modern developments in medicine to bring patients the best care possible via in-office or telehealth appointment options.
Earning his undergraduate degree at Stanford University, Dr. Turner went on to earn his Doctor of Medicine from Harvard Medical School with a residency at the Mayo Clinic. With over a decade of clinical experience, along with a background in both hospital-based and private practice, he couples a research-based approach with a unique passion for excellence as he helps to develop the growing field of integrative/holistic medicine. His current areas of expertise include advanced treatments in sports medicine and anti-aging, along with chronic illness, nerve disorders, and general health.
Dr. Turner is one of the nation’s few male doctors with an in-depth knowledge of chronic illnesses, such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), Hashimoto’s Disease, Cushing’s Disease, and COVID-19 Long Haul effects. His journey into the complex world of these “invisible” conditions - often overlooked or misdiagnosed - began when his wife received a diagnosis of cancer and chronic illness. Symptoms like exhaustion, brain fog, or fatigue are often misconstrued as signs of hormone imbalance or depression, particularly in female patients. Living in the wake of these diseases and their symptoms, Dr. Turner sought to understand them at a DNA level, searching for the most effective answers.
Today, as COVID Long Haul affects an increasing number of Americans, Dr. Turner works alongside patients, digging for the real root causes and best courses of treatment. He offers research-based expertise on controversial topics such as Ivermectin, the pro’s/con’s of vaccines, and holistic/natural care approaches, as well as the challenges of medical censorship/cancel culture. He also advises patients on outpatient prevention/treatment options, so they can increase the odds of staying well at home and avoiding a trip to the E.R. Dr. Turner proudly serves the Richland, Kennewick, Pasco, and surrounding communities.
