Less Stress Family Meals

 
 
Regan Jones, Registered Dietician and Culinary Nutritionist with Cabot Creamery Cooperative joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Nutrition Channels to share less stress family meal planning.
 
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Regan Jones discuss the following:
Tell us about Cabot Creamery Cooperative, something listeners may not know.
What are some simple steps listeners can take toward less stressful family meals?
What are some kid friendly assignments listeners can give children to make them part of meal preparations?
What are a few healthy tips or substitutions to keep in mind when cooking?
If we are being honest, family dinners are nice, but don’t happen as often as most of us would like. What are some ways to make the time together count?
How would listeners learn more and get additional tips/healthy recipes?
 
 
When you believe in taste-first, it's clear to see why you'd be involved in the dairy world. After all, food experts around the globe know that great taste begins in the dairy case, right? And more to the point, Registered Dietitian Regan Jones learned early on in her career that great taste doesn’t have to mean foods that are bad for you. On the contrary, Regan has spent years seeking out foods and recipes that are healthy, nutritious and, equally important, taste great.Regan’s passion for cooking has translated into a profession of culinary-based nutrition pursuits: first in the test kitchen for Oxmoor House, and then as an Assistant Food Editor at Weight Watchers and Cooking Light magazines. Through her experiences as an Assistant Food Editor, Regan became increasingly involved and passionate about communicating trustworthy nutrition guidance to the public through the media - hence her pursuit as the Nutrition Communications Director at the Southeast Dairy Association from 2001 to 2005, and her former role as national spokesperson for the National Dairy Council.Today, Regan serves as a food and nutrition consultant to Cabot Creamery Cooperative, the farm-family owned cooperative best-known as “Makers of The World’s Best Cheddar.” As a wife and mother, Regan knows just how important it is to make sure her family makes healthy food choices. She is aware that it is not always easy to ignore deep-fried or sugar laden snacks, but she also knows that learning as much as possible about the importance of a sustained, healthy diet is a goal worth striving for. That is one lesson she learned early on in her career, and as Cabot’s Health Squad Champion, one that she wishes to share with as many people as possible.“I learned to cook at a very early age hanging onto the apron strings of my grandmother, a sweet southern lady who cooked every meal that made it to her table, from sun up to sun down in her tiny little kitchen, all from scratch,” says Regan. “She was the best cook I've ever known, and truly inspired my taste for all things good and good for you.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Linda Rozell-Shannon discuss the following:
What is the Vascular Birthmark Foundation?
Why did you start it?
What did you achieve during the Vascular Birthmark Awareness Month, which is this month?  What about the International Day of Awareness on May 15th?
What are your goals?
What are your biggest challenges? What is your biggest accomplishment?
Why is it so difficult to diagnose and treat a vascular birthmark?
 
Linda Rozell-Shannon is the President and Founder of the Vascular Birthmarks Foundation (VBF), the leading not for profit in the world for children and adults affected by a vascular birthmark, anomaly, or syndrome.
Linda is also a Professor at Excelsior College where she teaches in the Health Sciences and Liberal Arts Programs.
VBF was founded in 1994, when Linda’s daughter Christine was born and subsequently diagnosed with a hemangioma. There was no internet at the time for every day use. There was no book on the subject for parents. Physicians were not trained in medical school to treat these lesions.
Prior to 1994, Linda had earned her BS in Business and her MS in Health Education. She worked as an Administrative/Legislative Analyst for New York State for over 25 years, retiring in 2009.
In 1980, Linda participated in the Winter Olympics as a Torch Runner through Upstate New York. She has also worked on the drafting and implementation of several pieces of legislation in New York State.
In 1997, Linda became the co-author of the only book for parents on the subject of Vascular Birthmarks, entitled: Birthmarks: A Guides to Hemangiomas and Vascular Malformations. Since then, she has authored or co-authored over 12 medical journals, 3 text book chapters, and has presented at over 20 conferences worldwide on the subject of vascular birthmarks.  She is an avid public speaker concerning this topic and advocates for parents and lobbies insurance companies to cover treatment.
In 2012 Linda established the VBF iTEAM, the first team of medical experts concerning vascular birthmarks assembled to lecture and train doctors all over the world to accurately diagnose and treat vascular birthmarks.
In 2014 Linda designed the first ever on-line course in vascular anomalies. The course will be launched in 2016. Physicians enrolling in the course will receive 16 CME credits. In addition, she has been working with the American Academy of Pediatrics to educate pediatricians and primary care specialists regarding vascular birthmarks.
Over $3,000,000 has been raised for VBF in the past 20 years while under the leadership of Linda Rozell-Shannon and she has established chapters on 6 of the world’s 7 continents. In 2016 the foundation reached 100,000 networked into treatment and they currently receive over 3,000,000 visits a month on their worldwide websites. 
Today, Dr. Linda (as she is referred) is considered the leading lay expert in the world concerning vascular birthmarks and anomalies.

Are you getting enough omega-3s?

 
 
Dr. Bill Harris, an internationally recognized omega-3 expert and Professor of Medicine at Sanford School of Medicine, University of South Dakota & the President and CEO of OmegaQuant joins eHealth Radio and the Health News, Nutrition & Supplement Channels.
 
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Bill Harris discuss the following:
What are omega-3s and where can you get them?
Why are omega-3s important for our health?
How do we know if we are getting enough omega-3s and what is an optimal level?
Why do you consider the omega-3 index test the ‘new cholesterol’ test?
Where can our listeners get more information?
 
SUMMARY: Low omega-3 levels are one of the most common and most easily corrected nutritional deficiencies in the world. Increasing the intake of oily fish and/or using omega-3 supplements will quickly and safely increase the Omega-3 Index into healthier zones. I think that the Omega-3 Index test will play a critical role in helping consumers take control of their own health and wellness. This simple at-home test requires only 1 drop of blood and enables people to identify a low omega-3 level. Armed with that information, they will be able to easily correct and then maintain healthy levels of omega-3s throughout their life. 
 
Dr. Bill Harris is an internationally recognized expert on omega-3 fatty acids and how they can benefit patients with heart disease. He obtained his PhD in Human Nutrition from the University of Minnesota, and did post-doctoral fellowships in Clinical Nutrition and Lipid Metabolism with Dr. Bill Connor at the Oregon Health Sciences University. His interest in omega-3 fatty acids began with his postdoctoral work when he published his first study on the effects of salmon oil on serum lipids in humans (1980). Since that time he has been the recipient of five NIH grants for studies on the effects of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) on human health. He has over 190 publications relating to omega-3 fatty acids in medical literature and was an author on two American Heart Association scientific statements on fatty acids: “Fish Consumption, Fish Oil, Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Cardiovascular Disease” (2002), and “Omega-6 Fatty Acids and Risk for Cardiovascular Disease” (2009) both published in the journal Circulation. Dr. Harris is a Professor in the Department of Medicine in the Sanford School of Medicine at the University of South Dakota, and the President and CEO of OmegaQuant.

The only clinically-tested cosmetic eyebrow formula on the market proven to help combat eyebrow thinning

 
 
Renata Marie Vestevich, Owner and Founder at Essential Eyebrow Solution, the only clinically-tested cosmetic eyebrow formula on the market proven to help combat eyebrow thinning joins eHealth Radio and the Hair Health & Health News Channels.
 
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Renata Marie Vestevich discuss the following:
How did you come up with Essential Eyebrow Solutions?
How does EES work?  What is Black Cohosh?
Tell us about the clinical study.
Why are eyebrows so important to our faces?
Tell us about how EES works for chemo patients.
 
Renata Marie Vestevich is the owner and director of Advanced Hair Solutions in Auburn Hills, Michigan. Her career covers a 30-year span in cosmetology and the hair replacement industry.Vestevich studied nursing and was employed for 7 years in the medical field before leaving to pursue her dream of creating and operating her own salon. After 10 years as a successful salon owner, she faced a personal struggle when her courageous sister-in-law battled leukemia and subsequent hair loss during her chemotherapy treatment. During this time, Vestevich found that many of her clients wrestled with hair loss issues due to various conditions such as stress, thyroid disorders, hormonal changes, autoimmune disorders, nutritional deficiencies, and the most common cause of hair loss – where the hair is genetically programmed to fall out gradually – “Androgenetic Alopecia” or “Female Pattern Hair Loss.”Recognizing how emotionally distressing both scalp and eyebrow hair loss can be, Vestevich was inspired to further her professional education. She traveled extensively throughout the United States to study with leading hair replacement educators in order to better serve her clients with the most progressive solutions pertaining to all types of hair loss.Failing to find a product that would nourish and protect the eyebrows, Vestevich collaborated with a prominent research laboratory and embarked on a 6-year-long process to systematically fulfill her plan to develop EES – Essential Eyebrow Solution®, obtain patents, and test the formulation for safety, stability and efficacy.  Vestevich is fully dedicated to improving the quality of life for chemotherapy patients and others by continuing to develop a full line of safe, natural cosmetic products to help individuals retain a vibrant, healthy appearance.Renata Marie Vestevich is also an award-winning author. Her book, Grant Me My Final Wish: A Personal Journal to Simplify Life’s Inevitable Journey, was designed to help individuals organize vital statistics and details from their personal documents, plan for end-of-life issues, and express their values and insights gained through living. Vestevich has given motivational speeches to professionals who wish to use Grant Me My Final Wish to strengthen advisor-client relationships, add a humanizing touch to their practices, and address important end-of-life issues with their clients.Aside from her professional life, Renata thoroughly enjoys spending time with her extended family.  A health and fitness enthusiast, she enjoys many outdoor activities, especially golf and biking. Other interests include reading, writing and cooking.
