Interview Date: October 3rd - Guest: Dee Adams

Dee Adams |
After 32 years spent as a mother, housewife, insurance salesperson, signpainter, bartender, marketing director, taxi driver and webdesigner, Dee Adams started a new career....cartoonist! Is this what they mean by a mid-life crisis? Adams calls it "Laughing your way through the Middle Rages".
The first question Adams is asked (after the laughter subsides) is, "where did the idea (for the Minnie Pauz cartoon) come from?" The answer is always the same, "I lived through it, and then decided to help other women get through it!" It wasn't really that funny to go through, but since humor has always been a coping mechanism for Adams, the cartoon was a good way to share her perspective with others. "Besides," says Adams, "there are no middle-aged cartoon characters out there for this huge group of women to relate to, so I had to create one."
Dee's website has been noted by many major newspapers such as USAToday, LA Times, Detroit News and London's "The Times". She has been interviewed on Detroit's ABC and NBC affiliates, as well as the site being shown on CNN, PBS and in TIME Magazine. She has illustrated a health & fitness book and a menopause book, her cartoons have appeared in two Chicken Soup for the Soul books, she's made personal appearances at medical conferences to promote "Humor Replacement Therapy" and is currently working on her first book.
Minnie Pauz cartoons are available for medical conferences, such as ACP, ACOG and NAMS, presentations, licensing, advertising, syndication, monthly magazines, greeting cards, trade journals or for webpages. Adams is available for book illustrating, personal appearances and autographing sessions. Please schedule at least 4 months before event!

Interview Date: September 5th- Guest: Dr. Sandy Newmark

Dr. Sandy Newmark
|
Dr. Sandy Newmark is an integrative pediatrician with 23 years of experience. His passion is working with parents to treat children with ADHD using proven natural remedies.
Dr. Newmark is the founder of the Center for Pediatric Integrative Medicine, the author of ADHD Without Drugs: A Guide to the Natural Care of Children with ADHD, and a frequently published author and lecturer on the topics of integrative medicine, autism, and ADHD.
Since 1987, Dr. Newmark has treated hundreds of children with ADHD. Initially using a conventional medical approach, Dr. Newmark was dissatisfied with the limited nature of this approach to treatment – one that rarely cured or even identified the underlying root causes of symptoms. Determined to find better results for his young patients, Dr. Newmark studied with Dr. Andrew Weil at the University of Arizona in the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine. In 2001, Dr. Newmark became the first graduate of Dr. Weil’s prestigious program to practice general pediatrics, and he now serves as part of the program’s faculty.
For the past 10 years, Dr. Newmark has been applying his integrative medical skills to the challenge of understanding the epidemic of children with ADHD, autism, and other behavioral problems. He has been able to fine-tune an effective set of natural treatments that can have a dramatic effect on the symptoms of ADHD. The results are astounding: children with ADHD who feel better, behave better, learn better and can fully express their inborn creativity and energy in positive ways.
Dr. Newmark currently practices at Whole Child Wellness near San Francisco, having relocated from Tucson, Arizona, to California’s bay area. Married for 37 years to psychologist Linda Ishi Newmark, he and his wife had years of real-life experience parenting a son who was intensely challenging, as well as a daughter with special needs.

Keith Cooper is the Director of Business Development for DonateFruit.com. Keith is working extensively with business and consumers to fight against hunger. Everyday that a business or consumer orders from DonateFruit.com everyday a child and or family is fed through food bank networks across the country.
We care about the communities where we live and work and believe everyone should have access to fresh fruit, a vital part of a nutritious diet. That’s why we are doing our part to fight hunger with our Donate Fruit program that matches every gift you purchase, pound for pound, with a donation of fresh fruit to food banks that feed hungry families.
The Need:
For 1 in 8 Americans, hunger is a reality. According to the USDA, an estimated 12.4 million children lived in food-insecure households in 2007.
Scientific evidence suggests that hungry children are less likely to become productive citizens.
You can help feed the need:
Working to end hunger in our community is especially critical in today’s economic climate. Through our Donate Fruit program, together we can put fresh fruit in the hands of hungry families. Fresh and nutritious fruit is a vital component of food donated to hungry families who too often rely on processed foods that can lead to obesity and other health problems.

Interview Date: June 27th- Guest: Dr. Robert Butler M.D.

Dr. Robert Butler-
M.D. |
Dr. Robert Butler, 83, passed away July 4th 2010. He was an innovator and kind man who truly cared about people. His life’s work was dedicated to a cause he truly believed in and he will be missed.
Robert Butler, M.D., didn't set out to become an internationally recognized leader in gerontology and geriatrics. He originally wanted to be a hematologist. Over the years, the ageist attitudes he encountered in both medical school and throughout American society assaulted his sensibilities, sparked an interest in geriatrics, and drew him into uncharted territory — namely, a career in the field of aging.
Throughout his professional life, Dr. Butler was a pioneer, creating his own jobs and organizations, if necessary, in pursuit of his goal to help reorient society's thinking about aging. Here are just some of his accomplishments:
- Founding director of the National Institute on Aging (1975-1982);
- Founder of the first department of geriatrics at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine (1982), where he served as Chairman and Brookdale Professor of Geriatrics until 1995;
- Pulitzer Prize winner for his book, Why Survive? Being Old in America (1976); and
- Founder and current president and CEO of the International Longevity Center (ILC), the first private, nonprofit, international center devoted solely to addressing the unprecedented increase in longevity and population aging.
Dr. Butler's interest in aging was rooted in his medical school days. He once said he was disturbed when he heard very distinguished professors refer to older people as "crocks" — boring patients with big, thick medical charts. "I had grown up with my grandparents and it seemed quite disrespectful to me," said Dr. Butler.
"In medical school, every effort was made to introduce us to middle-aged and younger patients, but older patients were considered to be beyond help — in other words, not teaching material," he added. "But when I started my internship, I was struck by the number of older patients. I became vaguely aware that people were living longer."
What also got Dr. Butler hooked on the field of aging was a landmark study, published in 1963, which studied healthy, community-dwelling older people for the first time. Prior studies focused primarily on diseased and institutionalized older people. The research found that many of the symptoms previously attributed to aging were not due to aging at all, but to disease. The tendency before was to think about aging as a disease instead of a normal stage of life in which disease can occur. Aging may be a risk factor for diseases such as Alzheimer's, diabetes and osteoporosis, but it is not the cause. This represented a breakthrough in our thinking about aging, according to Dr. Butler.
Dr. Butler was an inspiration in so many ways. At 83, he worked 60+ hours a week, exercised daily, enjoyed an active family life and still saw the patients who refused to give him up. He achieved what most people only dream about — the balanced life. "I love what I'm doing and I just can't imagine being retired," he once said. "There's too much to do."

Interview Date: June 13th- Guest: Janie A. Bowthorpe, m.e.d
Janie A. Bowthorpe, author of the book Stop the Thyroid Madness and the website of the same name, popped onto the scene of thyroid patient activism in 2002, when after getting ready to apply for social security disability, a switch to natural desiccated thyroid as a hypothyroid treatment turned her life around 180 degrees and profoundly. It was nothing short of a miracle!
She was so shocked at the turnaround that she first started the Yahoo group Natural Thyroid Hormone users to spread the word. That group grew exponentially, both in numbers and information--and patients from that group learned so much that she compiled it into the patient-to-patient website you can see today, www.stopthethyroidmadness.com, as well as the book, which contains what you will find on the website plus more details.
Janie's main goal as an activist is to educate the patient, who in turn, can take the life-changing information in each and every doctor's office and demand change. Those changes include the freedom to use desiccated thyroid rather than synthetic T4-only like Synthroid, better labwork rather than the lousy TSH, and recognition and treatment of related conditions of too many years of poor diagnosis and treatment, including adrenal fatigue, low ferritin, digestive issues, and more.
And it's working! Janie has been a major influence in changing the way doctor's treatment hypothyroidism, as well as the labs they use. But there are still huge changes needed still in doctors offices, and she continues her work to see that improvement.

Interview Date: May 31st - Guest: Mitchell T Yass

|
Mitchell Yass, hailed as the "miracle man" by patients who travel to see him in his Long Island facility, is poised to be the leading national advocate on the diagnosis and treatment of pain. Mitch is a licensed Physical Therapist, founder of PT2 Physical Therapy and Personal Training, and author of Overpower Pain: The Strength Training Program that Stops Pain without Drugs or Surgery. His pain resolution program is a phenomenon helping thousands of people avoid unnecessary drugs and surgery, freeing them from pain indefinitely.
Yass determined that the problem often lies in misdiagnosis. Throughout his career he has proven that most pain is not the result of structural abnormalities such as herniated discs, arthritis, stenosis, or other physical changes that show up on x-rays or MRI's, but of muscular imbalance and weakness. Yass has proven that these structural abnormalities are completely independent of the pain being experienced, and require no medical treatment. Yass' core difference in approach is his ability to correct muscle problems so that his patients avoid unnecessary surgery or use of prescription drugs to mask the pain. Even when pain is experienced in a joint, the cause is a misalignment of the joint surfaces creating abnormal joint surface rubbing due to muscle weakness. In fact, he has resolved the pain in over 95% of his patients through strength training. Yass is quick to note that surgery is sometimes necessary when the cause of pain is structural, although his experience has shown this to be in the minority of cases.
Studies are confirming that surgeries are consistently on the rise, yet a large percentage of them have proven to be unnecessary or ineffective. Recent studies are also showing that structural abnormalities such as herniated discs, stenosis, degenerative disc disease and meniscal tears can be found in as many people with no pain as those with pain. Yass' advocacy of strength training is backed by leading medical organizations. The American College of Pediatrics suggests weight training for all those 8 years and older. The Center for Disease Control and The American Heart Association now endorse the use of strength training. Mitch has been made aware of this support first hand, as many doctors have been so impressed by his results that they've personally thanked him for his help with their patients.
So that Mitch can help the masses, he has trained a team of physical therapists who work out of the PT2 facility which is outfitted for optimum strength training and therapy. The PT2 staff shares the same goal: to return every patient to complete functional capacity in the shortest period of time.
Mitch resides in Farmingdale, New York with his wife and young daughter..
