Does your back hurt? Has it ever? Have you considered taking drugs, or even being cut open in a somewhat experimental surgical procedure? Most of us have had some personal experience with back pain, and have sought out a temporary, if not a permanent solution to this sometimes debilitating condition. The trouble is that with drugs and surgery, there is often lingering pain, side-effects, or other issues brought about or triggered by the original condition. You might be one of the unfortunate victims of pain medication addiction or even a botched series of surgeries. In this episode, we get down to the root cause of back pain, spinal injuries, and even related neurological conditions like Fibromyalgia. Our guest Dr. John Bergman is one of the world's leading chiropractors and has helped thousands of patients from all over the world recover from a seemingly endless array of medical conditions using chiropractic care and other natural treatments. Dr. Bergman is not only extremely passionate about helping people to heal themselves of chronic disease, but also highly skilled at communicating complicated medical terminology in very simple terms. In this episode, you'll gain not only hope for recovery but also some very clear action steps toward taking control of your health.

Are you ready for the reefer revolution? Well, regardless of whether you are or not, weed is here, and it's not going away anytime soon. Its use is quickly becoming legalized all over the country, and its acceptance as a legitimate medicine shows no signs of slowing down. Humans have been using marijuana for as far back as history takes us in countless cultures the world over. Despite this plant's incredibly diverse range of applications, it has been widely demonized by Western culture for the better part of the past century. Thanks to advances in science, and the growing popularity of alternative, natural medicine, this formally mysterious plant is finally getting the respect it deserves- beyond its prior reputation as a gateway party drug for stoners. In this episode, we learn all about the current cannabis culture by one of the nation's leading producers of medical-grade edibles and extracts - Brian Chaplin, founder of Medicine Box. Brian's 'Soil to Oil' philosophy is taking the industry by storm, by creating new standards for the cultivation and production of marijuana medicine. Whether you partake in using this plant for fun or the treatment of disease or illness, this interview is packed with useful, up to date information on the subject. If you know someone with mild or severe medical issues, who is looking for alternative solutions, please send this show their way.

Have you attempted marriage and failed? Are you so afraid that it won't work out, that you avoid it? Or perhaps you're in a marriage right now and are finding it difficult to keep it together, or you're one of the lucky few couples who are married and loving it. No matter what your status or position on this aspect of human life, it's safe to say that at some point each of us has faced issues in this area and if we have not, we no doubt will at some point. In this episode, author Jo Piazza shares the extraordinary story of how she met her husband, then three months later married him, and spent their first year together traveling the world over, studying happily married couples to find out exactly what they did to stay that way. Not only were the circumstances of her marriage unique, but also the way she and her husband have approached the entire experience as a couple. Their formula was this: Work on strengthening the relationship before it goes south, rather than teetering along until it starts falling apart, then trying to piece it back together. This two-part interview is rich with actionable, practical tools that any couple can implement right away to fortify (or save) their partnership, married or not.

In this episode, author Jo Piazza shares the extraordinary story of how she met her husband, then three months later married him, and spent their first year together traveling the world over, studying happily married couples to find out exactly what they did to stay that way. Not only were the circumstances of her marriage unique, but also the way she and her husband have approached the entire experience as a couple. Their formula was this: Work on strengthening the relationship before it goes south, rather than teetering along until it starts falling apart, then trying to piece it back together. This two-part interview is rich with actionable, practical tools that any couple can implement right away to fortify (or save) their partnership, married or not. Do yourself and the world a favor by sharing this episode with a couple you know, in hopes that it might help enrich their relationship.

If you've heard of 'Paleo' you probably fit into one of three categories: You're living it, and loving it You've heard of it, but don't fully get what it means other than eating like a caveman You're sick of people talking about it, whether you know what it means or not In this interview with Dr. Jack Wolfson 'The Paleo Cardiologist,' you will learn everything there is to know about not only the Paleo diet but also the lifestyle and how it pertains to your health. The unique thing about Dr. Wolfson's take on the topic is that he's a real-deal cardiologist, who bailed on the traditional, Western Medicine approach to cardiac care and is now a full-time proponent of using diet and lifestyle to prevent and treat disease. He's a huge myth buster and does an excellent job of exposing many commonly held, yet erroneous beliefs about health and diet. (Vegans beware) Enjoy this compelling overview of all things Paleo, and as you do, please do us all a favor and pass it along to a friend who could use some getting back to their roots.
