The Clear Picture on Water Filtration Products

 
 
Keith Bernard, CEO of CLEAR2O®, one of the leading manufacturers of high-quality water filtration products joins eHealth Radio and the Health News Channel.
 
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Keith Bernard discuss the following:
We know that the quality of tap water varies from state to state, even town to town. But how contaminated can tap water really be?
We're familiar with the horrible water situation that recently took place in Flint, MI, and now there is severe levels of lead in the water in Newark, NJ. How common a problem is this?
How much can water filtration help with the average household water? How much can it help with extreme examples like Newark and Flint?
Are all water filters the same? What makes them different?
On your website, you say that you use solid-block carbon rather than granulated carbon. Why is solid-block carbon better?
It'd one thing to have clean water at home, but what about when you're away from home? How can you assure you're getting clean water while you're on the road?
TIP: Few would argue that clean drinking water is an essential element in everyone's lives. But even if you think the water in your city or town is fine, there are likely a number of contaminants that, while not immediately harmful, can potentially have long-term effects on your health. It's a good idea to periodically check the water quality reports for your town, which are generally available online. But even without checking the reports, there is no reason not to use a high-quality water filter to ensure that even the smallest amounts of undesirable chemicals and minerals are removed. You'll have healthier water, which will likely make it smell and taste better. But do your homework: not all filters remove all contaminants - plus some actually remove minerals that are good for you. If you want the cleanest water you can get, it will take a little effort on your part, but the results will be worth it.
As president and CEO of CLEAR2O®, Keith is responsible for the strategic, tactical and operational direction of the company. He is a seasoned, competent, professional leader of marketing, product & brand development, and sales initiatives at Procter & Gamble, Black & Decker, and Applica Consumer Products.

The Dangers of Saturated Fats with Dr. Evan Allen

 
 
Dr. Evan Allen, a board-certified physician in obesity and owner at Total Care Family Practice in Las Vegas, Nevada joins eHealth Radio and the Nutrition & Weight Management Channels to talk about the dangers of saturated fats.
 
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Evan Allen discuss the following:
How does the food industry purposefully mislead us?
What are some success stories you've seen with patients who cut out saturated fat in their diet?
If someone switches to a vegan diet, how quickly can they expect a recovery in their health?
Why write this book now?
What is one thing you want to tell other physicians with this book?
Tip: By minimizing the quantity of saturated fat in the diet, we can end heart disease and other ailments by practicing a lifestyle-first methodology, and reverting to medication and surgery as a last resort.
Dr. Evan Allen has been practicing medicine for a quarter century, and in that time, he’s opened two practices in Henderson, Nevada, and received board-certification from the American Board of Obesity Medicine. When Dr. Allen began to pay more attention to nutrition, the health of his patients improved. This discovery sent him on a search for a book like this one—a search that came up empty. With this book, Dr. Allen wants to give healthcare providers what he never had: a guide for talking to their patients about a healthy diet that’s low in saturated fat. Dr. Allen lives in Henderson with his son.

Building a CBD Super Food Brand

 
 
Richie Harrington, CEO of Vaital Organics, a CBD super food brand joins eHealth Radio and the CBD and Health News Channels.
 
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Richie Harrington discuss the following:
Explain how Vaital Organics should be enjoyed.
How does the CBD work?
What are key ingredients in Vaital Organics?
Who are some of your key advisors?
What have you learned as you create this brand?

Richard “Richie” Harrington is the founder and CEO of Vaital Organics, a Los Angeles-based health and wellness company that is pioneering CBD-infused superfood supplements with an emphasis on healthier living.
Born and raised in Santa Monica and residing on the Westside for his entire life, Richie only moved away from Los Angeles to attend school and play football in Oregon. After a string of injuries ended his athletic career and left him with a great deal of post-surgery pain and inflammation, Richie turned to CBD and hemp products as an alternative to opioid medications. After college, Harrington continued to deal with the same issues and sought a way to take control of his health for good. That’s when he met Vaital co-founder, Reno Rollé Jr. Reno also used cannabis and hemp products as alternative medicines to fight the opioid epidemic and introduced Richie to superfoods as a holistic alternative to supplements and as a way to boost energy levels, improve overall wellness, and springboard himself into a better diet and exercise routine. Richie began to see cannabis products and superfoods as the perfect marriage: CBD for inflammation and pain management, as well as to level out brain activity, and superfoods to boost energy, metabolism and overall health and wellness. From this realization and partnership, Vaital Organics was born.
From the company’s conception in July of 2018, Richie has had to wear a lot of hats at Vaital. As founder and CEO, Richie is on the ground overseeing day-to-day operations, communicating with stakeholders, managing finances and sales all the way through the backend. Vaital is his passion, born out of a vision to create an alternative wellness solution that offered benefits that no other superfood or CBD product on the market could match.
