The Toxic Overload with Dr. Kourosh Maddahi

 
 
Award-Winning Dentist & Author, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi from Dr. Kourosh Maddahi Cosmetic & Anti-Aging Dentistry in Beverly Hills joins eHealth Radio and the Cosmetic Dentistry and Health News Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Kourosh Maddahi discuss the following:
Our dental care has traditionally focused on killing bacteria, but does our mouth have any good bacteria?
Why is our diet so important to overall care of our mouth? Not just obvious sugar, coffee, wine but other foods.
What is the Microbiome diet (outlined in your book THE TOXIC OVERLOAD) and who should follow it?
You say gum disease is an indication of possible health disease, bad breath can indicate lung cancer and exclusive bleeding of the gums points to a bad diet. What do you recommend to your patients as the genesis of these problems begin in your mouth?
During the mask mandates, many of us have discovered we have bad breath. What can we safely do about it?
As we are lifting off our masks what are some of the things that we should be mindful of when it comes to our dental health?
Dr. Kourosh Maddahi has been a dentist in Beverly Hills for the past 35 years. In addition to treating more than 6,000 patients, Dr. Maddahi has worked with leading university laboratories to conduct non-biased, groundbreaking studies on the nature of the body’s defense systems and what happens when we introduce supposedly beneficial chemicals to our bodies.
Featured as an expert on multiple outlets including CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox News The Doctors and Oprah, Dr. Maddahi has published two best-selling books on oral health; Anti-Aging Dentistry and The Hidden Epidemic. He also has given lectures all over the United States and been a part of a group that has published dozens of peer-reviewed papers on the subject of oral health.
His new book, The Toxic Overload, pulls back the curtain about the body’s natural defenses and how to experience whole body health. It begins with breakthrough scientific research that debunks the Hygiene Hypothesis and the concept of killing our complex network of good bacteria with the daily use of antibacterial and antimicrobial products, linking them to widespread rises in autoimmune disease and allergies.
Touching on safe oral care and other household products to use, recommended diet, stress management and more, Dr. Maddahi then outlines a 30-day guide to a healthier life and a completely new path for lifetime hygiene and whole-body wellness. It is available on Amazon.

Yumble, the only kids meal delivery service

 
Joanna Parker, Co-Founder of Yumble, the only kids meal delivery service and a mom of three joins eHealth Radio and the Family, Children’s Health & Health News Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Joanna Parker discuss the following:
When did you found Yumble and how did you get your start?
Tell us a bit about your story and why you founded Yumble and how your goal is to help kids eat healthy and help busy parents.
Does this help establish a healthy relationship with kids at an early age?
How have you revamped the New Yumble to meet the needs of busy parents and kids recently?
This is the only kids meal delivery service for kids 4 to 12—tell us how it works? And how do you reward kids?
Summary: The new and improved Yumble, is the first and only meal delivery service that empowers kids to plan and pick their meals and get rewarded for eating healthy. The new Yumble offers a solution to a daily challenge faced by parents everywhere, especially working parents: the obligation to provide nutritionally balanced meals every day that kids will actually eat and enjoy.
Kids can go to yumblekids.com , or the new YumbleKids App, to plan their own meals, choosing from Yumble’s carefully curated menus designed specifically for kid appeal. Meals are ordered via a parent-approved ‘shopping cart’ and delivered straight to your door, ready to heat up and eat up. Kids can accumulate points for making smart choices, such as cleaning their plates and trying new things. Points are tracked on a virtual dashboard, and an exciting rewards catalog helps children set their goals.
Yumble was born after my billionth conversation with friends, complaining about how difficult and frustrating it was to get healthy meals on the tables for our kids every single day. I decided to see if anyone else felt this pain point, so I posted anonymously on a Facebook mommy group. When I offered to cook a week’s worth of meals for strangers (no name, no pictures, no menu!) I was bombarded with so many “Yes! Please! Where do I sign up??” that I had to turn some people away. After delivering the first week of meals - based on a menu I had created on my iphone while I was in Vermont since I didn’t anticipate getting so many immediate orders from that single post - I was again overwhelmed with how many customers wanted meals again the next week, and the week after, and the week after.
When David saw the immediate interest and traction, he jumped on board. We built a simple website that could process orders, brought on Dan Trieman who had previously built Hello Fresh USA from 0 boxes to 100,000 boxes, and very quickly built Yumble into what it is today.
While the idea was born out of my own pain point and sheer need, the inspiration for Yumble really came out of my passion for helping children develop positive, healthy eating habits from a young age. Meal time for kids can be stressful, filled with drama, and unenjoyable. Helping parents avoid this daily negative experience and turning it into a fun, exciting, wholesome one is my passion. I am committed to helping children all across America develop better habits that will last them a lifetime.
