    the-healing-power-of-musicBill Protzmann, an accomplished musician who has spent decades studying the healing power of music, shares how to use music functionally in everyday situations.Music is something most people enjoy but research shows it also has therapeutic and healing properties.

    Order Carnivora: Nature’s Nutritional Powerhouse -sponsor

    Music can help decrease chronic pain and lower depression. The right song can stimulate serotonin and dopamine levels, the body’s neurotransmitters that regulates emotional well-being. It can help lower heart rate, blood pressure, and reduce the stress hormone called cortisol.

    Joining Dr. Friedman is Bill Protzmann, an accomplished musician who has spent decades studying the healing power of music.

    Bill started piano lessons at three years old. He grew up playing and performing and realized very early on that the discipline of playing the piano was also a behavioral healthcare practice. After seeking non-traditional audiences, he began to understand the true healing power of music. This includes Alzheimer’s patients and people struggling with physical or emotional injuries, stressed-out business people, parents, and caregivers. In 2011, he launched Music Care Inc, a for-purpose corporation that teaches practical ways music can be used for self-care. His work has received an Award of Excellence by the National Council for Behavioral Health, the equivalent of an “Oscar.”

    He is a successful IT entrepreneur who holds magna cum laude degrees in piano performance and creative writing. He’s an Associate member of the American Music Therapy Association and a member of the Healing Music Organization.

    In this episode Dr. Friedman chats with Bill on how to use music functionally in everyday situations including:

    • Improve performance at work
    • Strengthen communication and relationship skills
    • Take better care of ourselves mentally, emotionally and physically
    • Combat depression
    • Aid in helping those with cognitive decline (Alzheimer’s and dementia)
    • Healing the mind, body and soul

    cbd-use-in-sports-and-health-fitness-matt-lombardi-and-kevin-moranDue to a lack of regulations, many CBD products on the market contain an undisclosed amount of THC, pesticides, metals, and other toxic additives.CBD has become today’s hottest craze!

    Research shows it may be an effective treatment for inflammation, pain, anxiety, insomnia, depression, post-traumatic stress, and even autoimmune disease. But, not all CBD is created equal. Due to a lack of regulations, many CBD products on the market contain an undisclosed amount of THC, pesticides, metals, and other toxic additives.

    Matt Lombardi and Kevin Moran, two professional athletes, join Dr. Friedman to share their story on how CBD changed their lives and how getting the right quality product can change yours.

    Matt and Kevin break through all the confusion on CBD and answer the questions:

    • How is CBD different than cannabis?
    • What benefits can people experience from using CBD?
    • What’s the most effective way to use it (tincture, cream, pills, infusers)?
    • Will someone pass a drug test if they take CBD?
    • Is it legal in all 50 states?
    • What’s the difference between CBD from Hemp compared to CBD from Cannabis?
    • People are eating more healthfully. Why is it just as important to buy CBD that’s organic, non-GMO, and chemical and preservative free?
    • How can you tell if the CBD product you take contains an undisclosed amount of THC, pesticides, metals and other dangerous additives?

    To Your Good Health - Food Sanity: How to Eat in a World of Fads & Fiction
    play

    08/11/22 • -1 min

    Has all the contradiction on diet and nutrition left you feeling frustrated and confused? Should we follow a Paleo diet and eat like a caveman or go with a plant-based diet and eat like a gorilla? Should we starve ourselves on the latest intermittent fasting diet, or go on a ketogenic diet and eat a lot of fats and low carbs? What about grains? Are they good for us, or a leading cause of disease? Do eggs cause high cholesterol or lower it? All this confusion is enough to make your head spin!
    It’s the reason why Dr. David Friedman wrote his #1 National Bestselling book, Food Sanity: How to Eat in a World of Fads and Fiction. For two decades as a syndicated television health expert and radio host, he’s interviewed hundreds of scientists, doctors, and best-selling authors hoping to share information to help his audience reach their optimal health. Unfortunately, each guest would contradict the previous expert, creating more confusion than clarity.
    While most health experts seem to disagree, there is one thing they all agree on, food has the power to heal the body or make it sick. The key is figuring out what should be at the end of our fork.
    In this episode, Dr. Friedman shares a common science meets common sense approach that puts an end to many of today’s food myths including:
  • You don’t need to drink cow’s milk for strong bones. In fact, research shows it causes brittle bones!
  • Beef doesn’t give us the protein humans require.
  • Fish do not contain toxic levels of mercury and can be eaten every day!
  • Eggs don’t cause high cholesterol, in fact, they lower it!
  • Cavemen were mostly vegetarians and forensic evidence proves it!
  • Grains (with gluten) reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, lowers blood sugar and aids in weight loss!
  • Counting calories makes you gain weight.
  • Salt (the right kind) isn’t bad for you. In fact, it reduces heart disease, lowers blood pressure and aids in weight loss.
  • Some vitamin supplements are made from toxic ingredients also used to make gasoline, nail polish remover, laundry detergent and ammonia.
  • This segment comes with a WARNING: Be prepared for some major “Aha” moments!
