Judy Morgan is here to discuss her new book, Yin & Yang 2.0 Nutrition for Dogs: Maximizing Health with Whole Foods, not Drugs. The book has recipes for different health conditions in dogs - arthritis, obesity, heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, allergies, skin disease, lung disease. Food can be used as medicine in place of pharmaceutical prescriptions and veterinary prescription diets that are made with horrible ingredients. In her new book, Judy Morgan uses food as medicine based on Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine Food Therapy - using the "energetics" and properties of food to solve different problems in the body. For instance, heat is produced with infection and inflammation - food can be used to "cool" the problem. Phlegm (mucous, snot, thick discharges) can be dissolved with food. Damp (fluid accumulation in the chest, abdomen, gastrointestinal tract, or limbs) can be drained using specific foods. All this is explained in the book. Every being has a "Constitution" or "Personality" - there are five Chinese element personalities: Fire, Earth, Water, Metal, and Wood. There is a personality quiz in the book to determine your dog's personality. This helps predicts which organ systems may get out of balance under certain conditions. Food can be used to keep the element balanced and that is explained in detail.

Peptides may be the hottest health trend right now, but they're also the most confusing. Everyone's talking about them yet almost no one understands them. Are they the fountain of youth, or just the flavor of the month? On this episode, Dr. Friedman sits down with Jay Campbell, one of the world's leading experts on hormonal optimization and therapeutic peptides, to separate the science from the social media hype. They discuss his new book, Optimize Your Health with Therapeutic Peptides, and explore how these tiny compounds can help build muscle, burn fat, speed up healing, sharpen the brain, and even slow down aging.

Over 61 million Americans are living with a mental health condition, and anxiety in young adults has surged nearly 140% since 2010. This, despite more therapists, apps, and awareness campaigns than at any point in history. So why are the numbers still going the wrong way? In this episode, Dr. David Friedman sits down with renowned psychiatrist Dr. Paul Conti, who argues we've been asking the wrong question. Instead of "What's wrong with me?" the more powerful question is "What's going right?" Dr. Conti unpacks the three core human drives that shape our thoughts and behavior. He discusses why balancing achievement, pleasure, and purpose matters more than chasing any one of them, and how compassionate self-reflection can quiet the inner critic. He also shares what he's learned working with some of the most recognizable people on the planet, and the one thing they had in common, which had nothing to do with fame or fortune. This conversation can literally change your mind. To get your copy of the book or learn more visit: DrPaulConti.com

When was the last time you were really outside? Not the dash to your car. Not a glance at your phone on the porch. Sun on your face, eyes on something farther away than a screen. If you're drawing a blank, you've got company. The average American now spends 93% of life indoors — artificial light, recycled air, pixels, and pings. Then we wonder why we can't sleep, can't focus, and need three cups of coffee just to feel human. We blame stress. We blame aging. We blame burnout. Dr. John La Puma joins Dr. Friedman to share the solution, and  the prescription might surprise you. It costs nothing. No gym membership. No supplements. And it takes less time than scrolling your morning feed. To learn more go to: IndoorEpidemic.com
