Stephanie has spent more than five decades helping people improve their fitness, health, and longevity through practical, proactive lifestyle choices.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Stephanie Shorr discuss the following:
Your book encourages people to take a more proactive, preventative approach to their health. What first led you to start thinking about healthspan instead of just treating problems after they appear?

You talk about being more “conscientious” about health choices. What does that look like in everyday life for someone who wants to start paying closer attention to their body?

Gut health is a major theme in the book. Why do you believe the microbiome is such a foundational place for people to begin improving their overall health?
You emphasize that nutrition is important, but movement is equally essential. What are some realistic ways people can incorporate exercise into their day, especially if they feel too busy to work out?

If someone listening wants to start improving their health today, what are a few small changes you believe can make the biggest difference over time?
TIP: One of the simplest ways to begin improving your health is to start paying closer attention to how your body responds to your daily choices. Notice how you feel after certain foods, how much energy you have after moving your body, how your sleep affects your mood, and whether your habits are supporting or draining you. You do not have to overhaul your entire life overnight. Start with one small, repeatable change, such as adding more whole foods, taking a short walk after meals, drinking more water, or stretching for a few minutes each day. Small steps, practiced consistently, can create meaningful changes in your health over time.

What exactly are “The 3 Rules,” and why do they work when diets fail?
Why do you say calories don’t matter as much as ingredients?
How does the glycemic index act like a “mine director” in today’s food industry?
How does using “The 3” improve confidence dramatically?

How did you go from homeless to the life you lead now?

Determined to rebuild, he created a simple, science-based method to shred fat and reclaim health—without counting calories or living in restriction. The system not only helped him lose 80 pounds—it sparked a global health movement that’s transforming lives worldwide.

Dr. Michael Compton, a Columbia University professor triple-board-certified in psychiatry, preventive medicine, and lifestyle medicine joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Nutrition Channels. He is author of Veggie Smarts: A Doctor and Farmer Grows and Savors Eight Families of Vegetables.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Michael Compton discuss the following:
What prompted you to write a book about growing and savoring veggies?
What do you mean by the concept of "veggie smarts"?
Marion Nestle (not Nestle as in the company), on the back cover, refers to your book as "endearingly quirky."  What makes it endearing, and what makes it quirky?
What would you say are the top 5 most underappreciated vegetables?
I know that you offer lots of "free health advice" in the book, but for today, what are your top 5 pointers for a healthy diet?
Dr. Michael T. Compton is board-certified in psychiatry, preventive medicine, and lifestyle medicine—a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, a Fellow of the American College of Preventive Medicine, and a Member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. As a professor of psychiatry at Columbia University, he has a deep understanding of what makes people feel secure, content, and happy; he also happens to have expertise in healthy lifestyle behaviors and nutrition.
Having grown up on a dairy-farm-turned-beef-farm in rural southwestern Virginia, embracing a whole-foods, plant-predominant eating pattern might not have been in his genes. But creating a garden with his two green thumbs from Granny definitely was.
Attending college at Mary Washington, medical school at the University of Virginia, and specialty training in psychiatry and preventive medicine at Emory University took this proverbial boy off the farm, but as all who know the old saying might suspect, the farm had not been taken out of him. In a mid-life burst of productivity, he built a compact, organic-certified vegetable farm and got smart about growing and savoring vegetables.

What are some of the lessons you learned in making such a major career change?
What are some tips and practical advice for midlife career changers, including overcoming fear and making a transition financially feasible. 
Imagine having a best friend in Tuscany who knows all the best places to cook, dine, and shop, is on a first name basis with the best gelato makers and has exclusive access to the most spectacular vineyards where they’ll set up personal wine tastings just for you. This friend is also a master travel planner, who takes every travel detail off your plate and creates an insider’s Italian itinerary filled with friendly, knowledgeable tour guides, translators, drivers, and private cooking classes only a local resident could access.
That friend is Coleen Kirnan, the owner and host of Tuscan Women Cook. With her infectious smile, contagious joy, and years of business experience and knowledge, Coleen creates a memorable travel and culinary experience for every guest who books a week with Tuscan Women Cook. An avid entertainer and cook, Coleen provides everything for her guests, from shopping expeditions, spa days, and golf outings for those interested in venturing out of the kitchen.
“There is truly something for everyone at Tuscan Women Cook,” confides Coleen. “The chance to immerse my guests in the authentic Tuscan lifestyle; cooking in rustic kitchens with women who are preparing recipes that have been passed down from generations of family cooks for a complete Italian culinary experience.”
A successful businesswoman and owner of a commercial real estate firm (Kirnan Commercial, Inc.), Coleen represented several top-tier private and public companies involved in multi-million dollar-real estate transactions for over 30 years.
Coleen also treasures her role as wife and mother and when her grown children left the nest, she decided it was time to align her career with her passions and sold her thriving business to become the owner of Tuscan Women Cook in 2016, making a major career change that was extremely rewarding for her both personally and professionally.
When not hosting Tuscan Women Cook in Montefollonico, Coleen lives in Southern California with her family. With their enthusiastic blessing, Coleen embraced the idea of forging a business in Italy that encompasses all her favorite pursuits.
