Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Warren Potash discuss the following: What are some of the reasons that female athletes need to value training to play sports? Are you saying that female athletes have not always trained to play sports?Why did you start your website: www.learn2trainsafely.com ?The subtitle of your book is “Safely Training the Adolescent Female Athlete” and you say that “all female athletes must value training to play sports”, why are both of these concepts so important?If a female athlete suffers an ACL injury (knee) or other injuries like rotator cuff (shoulder area for overhand sports) – are the long term effects different for a female as opposed to a same age male athlete?Why is your book: They’re Not Boys… important for parents, female athletes, and volunteer coaches of these young women?Why is it so important that before every season, every female athlete and their parents and coaches need to understand the athletes must get proper rest and daily nutrition, set SMART goals, and train to play sports must become a standard practice in youth sports...?How does the female athlete benefit from a lower body, safe and age-appropriate training program that is integral to skills training for all female athletes?

As the father of a two sport D III female athlete, a trainer of more than 600 teen female athletes since 1995, and as a former athlete I am uniquely qualified to speak to the challenges all female athletes need to address during their teenage years.
I studied biomechanics, kinesiology, human anatomy, and spent more than 250 hours working in sports medicine physical therapy clinics as part of 1,500 hours that were required for my [ISSA] certifications after I created, co-developed, and co-authored Your Lower Back (1993); the first book by a patient (me) and his doctor to help everyone understand how a spine-safe exercise program will help the majority of people dealing with low back pain.
Immediately after the book was published I became interested in the non-contact ACL injury challenge for all female athletes when my daughter started playing travel softball and basketball. I created and co-developed the training progressions that I have used since 1995 to help more than 600 adolescent female athletes with sport-specific training to play sports that has produced remarkable results as not one teen has ever reported an ACL injury (which was not expected).  I have also developed exercise programs and personally trained men, women, and children with a variety of medical challenges with my spine-safe training philosophy.
In 2003, my colleagues and I co-authored two online CEU courses at www.issaonline.com  that helps numerous trainers; Safely Training the Adolescent Female Athlete.  In 2010, I launched www.learn2trainsafely.com to provide quality information so every user can value training to play sports for teen female athletes playing every sport.  In January 2012, my new book: They’re Not Boys – Safely Training the Adolescent Female Athlete™ has been published.
Training Philosophy: To help every individual achieve, or surpass their personal goals with a safe and age-appropriate, functional/integrated, and spine-safe conditioning program.

Dawn Roberts, Forensic Document Examiner and Handwriting Expert, and author of the new book "Warnings of Disease" joins eHealth Radio and the Nutrition and Weight Management Channels. Dawn shares how diet and lifestyle changes cured her body of multiple diseases, even those without a known cure.

Dawn Roberts is the author of "WARNINGS of Disease: Your Body Uses Symptoms to Communicate."  While struggling with over 100 symptoms, 35 diagnosed diseases, and weight gain, she had questions regarding her failing health, but no medical doctor could give her the answer.  Suffering with neurological disease, doctors suspected that Dawn had either MS, Parkinson's, or Lou Gehrig's disease.  But the reality was that doctors were doing nothing to help, neither were the 23 medications that they had prescribed.  In fact, she got sicker with each passing day until she said, "Enough, is enough!"  This began her crusade to find the cause of disease and to eliminate it from her life.Totally frustrated with the medical establishment, Dawn turned to a Chiropractor/Homeopath for help.  With his assistance, and a total change in her lifestyle and eating habits, Dawn was totally healed.  Chronic disorders, even heart disease, simply vanished.  At the persuasion of her Chiropractor to write a book, Dawn embarked on a 15-year scientific journey to do research.  She then took a hiatus from her work as a Forensic Document Examiner to write "WARNINGS of Disease."  Through this work, Dawn hopes to use her personal experience to help others.  Her mission is to help people, who are sick, diseased and overweight, realize that junk food and toxic chemicals are perpetuating their problems.Dawn has been happily married for 32 years, and is the proud mother of two sons and a new daughter-in-law.  She lives alongside a tranquil and serene river bordered by a Florida State Forest with her high tech husband, pre-Chiropractic son, 2 rambunctious dogs, a brood of chickens, and some crazy guinea hens.

Beyond her private practice, Stella is regularly called on as a media resource; featured as a diet and nutrition expert in People, Glamour, Shape, Redbook, New York Times, Wall Street Journal…and many others.
Listen to interview [audio player below] with host Eric Michaels & guest Stella Metsovas discuss the following:
Your background is so fascinating—tell us about it.
So what you’re telling us, is that without a healthy digestive tract, you can never truly be the picture of health?
Tell us about your projects—they all seem to align with digestive health. Do you feel there might be too many eggs in one basket?
You mentioned in your book that one major connection all your clients shared was some form of dysfunction in their digestion tract. Should I or the listener be worried?
Now I know you’re a gut health guru! Please tell us what top foods you recommend for digestive health.


Stella Metsovas is a globally recognized clinical nutritionist and media health expert based in California. Stella is a specialist in Food Science and Human Nutrition, with over 15 years of experience in the health and fitness industries, and 8 years in private practice.
Beyond her private practice, Stella is regularly called on as a media resource; featured as a diet and nutrition expert in People, Glamour, Shape, Redbook, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, AOL, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Fox News, CNN, Good Morning America, Comcast Group, Demand Media, eHow, and many others. Woman’s Day named Stella one of “America’s Ultimate Experts,” and her blog was recognized as “One of the Top 50 Blogs Every Dietitian Should Read.”
In addition, Stella consults with her global partners as a brand and product expert, as well as coordinating health programs for her corporate clientele. Stella also serves as Chairman and spokesperson to the World Food Program Committee of Los Angeles, a charitable organization that raises support in America for the United Nations World Food Program.
A former National USA Swimmer, Stella really began her career at age 13. Training under the top Olympic coaches and swimmers of the U.S. swim team, she competed at the Junior Olympic and National levels. However, after being diagnosed as severely anemic, her performance level quickly declined.
Despite seeking medical attention, Stella’s anemia only continued to worsen – affecting her physiologically and psychologically. After a year of prescriptions for artificial hormones and numerous doctors’ evaluations, Stella’s mother sought other options. She was referred to a naturopathic physician who diagnosed Stella by evaluating specific markers in stool, blood and urine testing. Within one month treatment with natural modalities, Stella felt remarkably better. Consequently, the decision to pursue a career in the biological sciences was inevitable.
During her first year at Chapman University, Stella took courses in Physiology, Anatomy, Chemistry, Food Science, and Nutrition. Stella realized that her true passion resided in the Nutritional Sciences. Stella expects her brand to be the go-to for gut health and the Paleo-Mediterranean Diet, known as “The Diet for a Lifetime” that combines evolutionary biology, nutrigenomics and ingredients found throughout the Mediterranean region. In addition, Stella’s 21-Day Digestive Health Detox is now in the marketplace.
