    How Healthy Is Your Business?

    How long will your business model last before it begins to fail? This is the favorite question corporate consultant Michael Utvich poses to CEOs, typically at their initial meeting. It’s rare that corporate management perceives weakness in its business model. Yet it shows up sooner or later. Typically due to unanticipated events. Think about the industries seriously disrupted by the pandemic... many restaurants failed, some were saved by Uber Eats and DoorDash; business travel virtually ceased and expensive plane flights and hotel stays were replaced by Zoom meetings. Major companies were forced to adapt and innovate or disappear. Through the decades, there are numerous examples of this.  It’s interesting to explore and fascinating to discuss with Michael Utvich who’s been involved in these shifts and changes throughout his 45-year consulting career and that’s exactly what Late Night Health’s Mark Alyn and Michael will discuss today. Key Achievements:Utvich has authored or co-authored nine influential books in the high technology space, contributing to industry knowledge and innovation.He has been a speaker and adjunct professor in interactive media content development at prestigious institutions including UCLA Extension, USC, and the American Film Institute.Notable Clients:Michael collaborated with industry leaders such as Toyota US, Oracle, Ford, all Cendant Corporation Brands, i.e., Century 21, Coldwell Banker, and ERA, successfully driving product launch and development initiatives that have redefined market strategies. Learn more at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/innovationdevelopment/?isSelfProfile=false Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/late-night-health-radio--2804369/support.

    Courage to Challenge - Visions for Change

    What can a woman who ran for president in 1872 teach us about resilience today? Author Kate Danaher joins Mark Alyn on Late Night Health to discuss Unstoppable: The Victoria Woodhull Story, her historical novel about a woman who challenged the political and social expectations of her time. Their conversation connects Woodhull’s determination with the encouragement people can find in stories of courage and survival.Danaher explores Woodhull’s willingness to speak openly about injustice, women’s independence, and the hypocrisy she saw around her. The discussion includes her confrontation with prominent preacher Henry Ward Beecher and the obscenity charges that followed the publication of controversial newspaper articles. Through repeated opposition, Woodhull continued making her voice heard.A former literature professor, Danaher also explains how writing restored the excitement of learning and sharing ideas that she loved about teaching. She describes working with historical researcher Mary Shearer to separate documented events from persistent myths, then imagining the private emotions and conversations between those events.With additional volumes planned, Danaher hopes to bring a fuller picture of Woodhull to readers. This interview offers a lively look at historical storytelling, personal conviction, and the inspiration that comes from watching someone keep going despite extraordinary obstacles.Author and international businessman Peter G. de Krassel returns to Late Night Health for a conversation with Mark Alyn about Israeli-Palestinian relations and his book Custom Maid Palestine. The interview moves beyond the show’s usual health topics to examine conflict, coexistence, and the search for a more secure future.Drawing on his upbringing, schooling, and business experience in the Middle East, de Krassel argues that familiar approaches to Palestinian statehood have failed. He proposes a different regional arrangement in which Israel and neighboring Arab countries would contribute territory toward a new Palestinian state. He describes modern infrastructure and economic opportunity as important elements of that vision.Alyn presses him on why political leaders should consider his ideas. Their exchange also explores relations among Jewish, Muslim, and Christian communities, the influence of social media on public opinion, and de Krassel’s criticism of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.Throughout the discussion, de Krassel presents his own interpretation of regional history and the political barriers to peace. He acknowledges that acceptance of a new proposal would take time. The result is a challenging conversation inviting listeners to consider his alternative and the human consequences of prolonged conflict.

    It’s Never Too Late to Write Your Next Chapter

    Creativity, purpose and curiosity take center stage on this episode of Late Night Health as host Mark Alyn welcomes novelist and screenwriter Peter Berk. Their conversation explores writing, family legacy, artificial intelligence and why meaningful work has no expiration date.Peter grew up immersed in storytelling. His father, Howard Berk, wrote episodes of television classics including Columbo, Mission: Impossible and The Rockford Files. As an only child, Peter sat beside his father, absorbing lessons about character, suspense and dialogue. He even visited the original Star Trek set.Although Peter first dreamed of becoming a film composer and later spent decades in public relations, he never abandoned writing. During the COVID shutdown, he transformed screenplays written with his father into novels. That decision launched the TimeLock series and allowed Peter to honor his father’s work. Peter did not publish his first novel until he was collecting Social Security, proving that creative achievement can begin at any age.Mark and Peter also examine the opportunities and anxieties surrounding artificial intelligence. Mark uses AI to organize ideas and assist with editing, while Peter employs it primarily for research. Both agree that technology can be valuable, but Peter wants the words carrying his name—and his father’s—to remain genuinely his own.Peter’s newest novel, FireLine, is an eco-disaster thriller about a scientific experiment intended to purify waterways that instead creates a potentially world-ending firestorm. His next project, Merrill Lake Falls, moves in a different direction with a small-town Canadian setting, a science-fiction element and his first female lead.Warm, funny and personal, the conversation shows how storytelling keeps memories alive, connects generations and provides a continuing sense of purpose. Peter’s journey demonstrates that growing older need not mean stepping away from ambition. Sometimes it means finally writing the chapter you were always meant to begin.

    Stronger Pets, Brighter Minds: Exploring Mobility, Light and the Pineal Gland

    This episode of Late Night Health explores two very different paths to healthier living—helping beloved pets stay strong and mobile, and reconsidering the role light may play in human well-being.Host Mark Alyn first welcomes Dr. Kelly Fishman, a veterinary sports medicine and rehabilitation specialist and founder of Strutt Animal Mobility Specialists in Pennsylvania. Fishman explains that a walk around the block may not provide enough activity for many dogs, particularly working breeds such as Labrador retrievers, border collies and Australian shepherds. Strength and cardiovascular exercises—including canine squats, planks and jumps—can help build muscle, support joints, manage weight and reduce behavior problems caused by excess energy.Fishman also shares practical advice for senior pets and owners with limited mobility. Dog treadmills, elevated exercise surfaces and carefully selected nutritional support can offer useful alternatives. For cats, whose arthritis often goes unnoticed, she emphasizes weight management, muscle support and attentive care. Her warm-weather tips include adding water to canned food and offering frozen blueberries or cucumber for extra hydration. Beyond physical health, Fishman discusses the emotional benefits pets provide, especially for older adults and people living alone.In the second half, Italian physician, ophthalmologist, musician and author Dr. Roberto Pinelli joins the program from Switzerland. His book, Awakening the Pineal Gland, examines the small gland located deep within the brain and its connections to light, melatonin, sleep and circadian rhythms.Blending neuroscience, ancient symbolism and personal intuition, Pinelli describes his research into carefully modulated light and sound. He argues that light should be viewed not simply as a danger, but as a form of biological nourishment when experienced responsibly—particularly during gentler morning and late-afternoon hours. While several of his broader therapeutic ideas remain unconventional, the conversation offers a fascinating look at his effort to connect ophthalmology, nature, consciousness and spirituality.

    Flu Season Is Coming: What Adults 65+ Need to Know About Vaccination

    Flu season can arrive sooner—and spread faster—than many people expect. In this special edition of Late Night Health, host Mark Alyn speaks with Dr. Samantha Picking, Senior Director of Immunizations at Walgreens, about how older adults and other high-risk individuals can prepare for the coming respiratory illness season.Dr. Picking explains why September and October are generally the best months to receive a flu shot, giving the body approximately two weeks to build protection before cases begin to rise. She also addresses one of the most persistent misconceptions about vaccination: the flu shot cannot give you the flu. Mild soreness, aches, or a brief fever may occur after vaccination, but these temporary reactions are different from an influenza infection.The conversation also explores the enhanced flu vaccines recommended for adults 65 and older, how scientists determine which influenza strains to include in each year’s vaccine, and why declining vaccination rates remain a public-health concern. In addition, Dr. Picking discusses other important vaccines—including RSV, COVID-19, pneumococcal disease, and shingles—and explains that multiple vaccines can safely be administered during the same visit.Listeners will also learn how pharmacists can review their health history, medications, and vaccination records to help identify which immunizations may be appropriate. With many vaccines available at little or no cost through Medicare or private insurance, this timely interview offers practical guidance for staying protected throughout flu season—and reminds listeners that their neighborhood pharmacist can be an accessible, trusted source of information and care. Dr. Picking joins Mark Alyn on this edition of Late Night Health. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/late-night-health-radio--2804369/support.
