    Prevent Cancer and Fishing

    Early detection is the key to surviving everything from Cancer to Heart Disease, yet a disturbing number of us fail to do the simple things, like routine screenings. I discussed that with Jody Hoyos, CEO, Prevent Cancer Foundation AND fishing might be one of the oldest things known to mankind, but it still hooks us in a very modern way. I found out what it is about fishing that hooks us, with Mark Kurlansky author of TO CATCH A FISH: Essays on the Joy, Frustration, Curiosity, and Allure of FishingSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Autism Awareness

    April is Autism Awareness; some call it Autism Acceptance Month. But today we’re discussing a different kind of story about Autism. It’s a story, about being on the spectrum, but also about family love, resilience, perseverance and how to handle bullying - while not allowing society to define you who are. I discussed with Leland Vittert…..a journalist……host of On Balance on NewsNation and co-author of: Born Lucky: A Dedicated Father, A Grateful Son, and My Journey with Autism See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Colorectal Cancer and Navy Seal

Dr. James McCormick, a respected surgeon and Professor of Surgery, Drexel University College of Medicine, Chairperson, Colon/Rectal Cancer Program to me why. AND, when most of us think about our military it instills a sense of pride in our country. And the epitome of that vision is often a Navy Seal.

    Hearts and Hospitals

    For some reason, when we think of heart disease in our country, we think it only affects men. But, the number of women diagnosed with heart disease every year is significant. Celina Gorre CEO of WomenHeart and I discussed the disconnect. AND, you’d think a hospital is one of the safest places you could go in our society, but that hasn’t always been the case. But, not for the reasons you’d think. Dr Chris DeRienzo, Chief Physician Executive and Senior Vice President at the American Hospital Association told me about the strides they’ve made in improving outcomes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Black History and Eating Disorders

    Manny Munoz discusses the history behind Black History Month this year because, if the math is right, this marks the 50th anniversary of our country officially recognizing February as Black History Month. Manny Munoz spoke with the Rev. Dr. Terrlyn Curry Avery, author of Dismantling Racism: Healing Separation From the Inside Out, about its history and continued significance. AND, eating disorders affect millions of Americans, yet they are still widely misunderstood and often go undetected until serious harm is done.
