Twenty-six-year-old mastermind Oliver Bogner is the founder and CEO of Brandable, a next-generation consumer products company that is reinvigorating tired product categories and building brands that appeal to Millennials and Gen Zs. As an incubator of sorts, Brandable’s nimbleness allows it to innovate and have products on shelves in a fraction of the time it takes for traditional CPG companies. It is focused on creating the best products possible—and ones that buyers have expressed an urgent need for. Bogner’s “created for Millennials, by Millennials” approach is central to Brandable’s success, and why it’s becoming known as “the millennial P&G.”
In less than 18 months, Bogner has grown Brandable from a mere concept to a 90+person operation, with a vast portfolio featuring over 100 products across Toys, Food, and Wellness categories, as well as exclusive programs with the two largest retailers in America: Target and Walmart. The former TV hit series producer for TLC, Lifetime and Food Network has harnessed his keen understanding of entertainment and the power of celebrity influence to drive excitement and appeal for the company’s brands, many of which are influencer-inspired. Brandable’s agile product development approach has earned the company “vendor-of-record” status by coveted national retailers, including Petco, JoAnn, 7-Eleven, Walgreens, CVS, HSN, Michaels, and Claire’s.

Skincare Expert Dr. Howard Murad's Latest Obsession: Cultural Stress
Thursday Aug 15, 2019
Thursday Aug 15, 2019
Dr. Howard Murad the founder of the innovative skincare company Murad, Inc. and is largely recognized as The Father of Modern Wellness based on his years of expertise as a board-certified dermatologist and pharmacist whose holistic health approach recognizes the mind/body/skin connection in living a healthier, happier life – at any age joins eHealth Radio and the Dermatology & Stress Management Channels.
Dr. Murad’s mission is to teach people how to manage cultural stress through a comprehensive treatment plan he describes in his published books and on his website.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Howard Murad discuss the following:
What is Cultural Stress and when did you first identify it?
Do you think things like our digital devices and cellphones are contributors?
Why do you think that people are so stressed out? Is it worse than ever?
You say that there are three ways to determine if a person is a victim of Cultural Stress? What are they?
Dr. Howard Murad is recognized as The Father of Modern Wellness® based on his years of expertise as a board-certified dermatologist and pharmacist whose holistic health approach recognizes the mind/body/skin connection in living a healthier, happier life – at any age. Dr. Murad’s ability to “connect the dots” linking cellular hydration, nutrition, joyful exercise, creative expression, reducing cultural stress, and efficacious skincare, are unique contributions to Modern Wellness.
A practitioner not just of medicine but of the philosophy of health, Dr. Murad has been studying the effects of the environment, nutrition, and lifestyle on skin and overall wellness since 1972. In 1989 – at the age of 50 – he founded Murad, Inc. and launched the first science-backed, doctor-branded skincare line. Understanding that healthy skin comes from the inside out, Dr. Murad was the first to also introduce “internal skincare” first through supplements and later expanding it to include mental and emotional wellbeing which became the beginning of the Inclusive Health® movement.
Having treated over 50,000 patients and counting, Dr. Murad hopes to inspire people to achieve not just beautiful skin – but greater health and happiness inside and out. Dr. Murad’s inclusive health protocol has been fundamental in reversing the effects of “Cultural Stress,” a condition he named and identified as the constant and pervasive form of stress due to modern day living which has been scientifically shown to have a negative impact on cellular health.
Dr. Murad’s impact on healthy living reaches far beyond his legendary skincare line. Today, much of Dr. Murad’s work involves teaching people how to manage cultural stress through a comprehensive treatment plan he describes in his published books and online at www.drhowardmurad.com.

Don’t Let Water Damage Drain Your Health
Saturday Aug 03, 2019
Saturday Aug 03, 2019
Joe Alfrey, CEO of Sencentric, which designs and manufactures products for real-time, end to end cold chain monitoring for the agricultural, food & beverage, and pharmaceutical industries joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Technology Channels. The company has recently introduced a new product called SimpleSENCE, a Wifi-based Water Leak and Freeze Detector.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Joe Alfrey discuss the following:
Tell us about the new product, SimpleSENCE. How does it work, and why did you invent it?
Obviously, undetected water leaks can create severe water damage. But how can that affect your health?
We’ve certainly heard about water damage causing mold. What other health-related issues can arise?
If a leak goes undetected long enough, can it cause enough structural damage for a person to hurt themselves by, say, falling through a floor?
If a leak is being caused by rusting pipes, can there be rust in the water – in other words, besides having a leak, could you also have a water-quality issue?
Summary: Most of us have experienced the nuisance and costs associated with leaky pipes. Believe it or not, a pipe that leaks just once every second every day, all day, would fill a gallon container in only four and a half hours. Now imagine if that leak went unnoticed for a long period of time – weeks or even months. The structural damage that can be caused by that leak can not only be expensive to repair but can actually be dangerous to your health. In fact, there are more health risks from undetected water leaks than you may realize. Water leak detectors – especially in areas of your home that are not readily visible or accessible – can catch leaks early and alleviate the costs, the inconvenience and, most importantly, the health risks associated with structural water damage in your home.
Joe Alfrey is the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sencentric, a company that designs and manufactures products for real-time, end to end cold chain monitoring for the agricultural, food & beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. His company recently introduced a new product called SimpleSENCE, a WiFi-based Water Leak and Freeze Detector.
Mr. Alfrey has extensive experience providing financial and executive leadership in companies ranging from start-up to Fortune 500 enterprises that include Eli Lilly, Medtronic and CareFusion, with Controller and CFO roles at a number of venture-backed companies. He excels in strategy development/execution, M&A analysis and transactions, and capital raising and related activities.
Mr. Alfrey is a Certified Management Accountant. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Economics from the University of San Diego and a Masters Degree in Finance from San Diego State University.

Makeup so good for your skin, you don’t need to wash it off
Thursday Aug 01, 2019
Thursday Aug 01, 2019
Megan Potter is an Australian qualified personal stylist, beauty therapist and makeup artist who has developed a range of cosmetics so good for your skin you don’t need to wash it off and joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Skin Care Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Megan Potter discuss the following:
Why did you decide to develop your own range of cosmetics?
Aren’t there many natural mineral makeup products out there?
How is your makeup good for skin?
Tell me about what others are saying about your makeup?
Can everyone use Megan Potter Cosmetics?
TIP: If you do want to clean your face at the end of the day, there is no need to purchase expensive cleaners and exfoliate. Cleans your skin with simple coconut oil and a face washer, I think you call it a wash cloth? I use three drops of my Refreshing facial oil once at night. My skin is still moist and ready for me to apply makeup without any additional moisturizers. You might need to apply 3 drops again in the morning if you live in a dry climate – I’m here in Queensland Australia which is sup-tropical!
Megan Potter is a qualified personal stylist, beauty therapist and makeup artist having styled clients in Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide Australia. Her career began as a beauty therapist and makeup artist over a decade ago in Adelaide, and her career took her to Dubai in 2008 for the International Beauty Expo. It was there that Megan helped to put Australia on the map as a mecca for quality mineral makeup.
Her aim has always been to help women look and feel good, whatever their budget. Restoring and growing confidence and self-love in her clients is Megan’s absolute passion.
All of Megan’s own brand of makeup and skincare are made using 100% natural ingredients, are of the highest purity, and made in Australia.
