Late Night Health

According to the Hearing Loss Association of America, nearly one in five Americans experience some form of hearing loss, and about 28.8 million U.S. adults could benefit from using hearing aids. Worldwide, the World Health Organization warns that by 2030, nearly 630 million people will be living with some degree of hearing loss. Yet many still wait to seek treatment for this common health problem. Despite the fact that hearing loss is an issue facing millions of people, wearing hearing devices is still taboo. While wearing glasses for your vision is now “cool” and even fashionable, many people feel embarrassed or ashamed to wear assisted hearing devices and delay seeking treatment. In fact, according to the Hearing Loss Association of America, people with hearing loss wait an average of seven years before visiting a hearing specialist. Martin Grieder, Group Vice President at Sonova Consumer Hearing/Sennheiser, talks with Mark Alyn about the latest data on hearing loss and addreses the shame some feel wh

People in the medical profession were astounded at how quickly Paul L. Hannah M.D. was able to diagnose and heal his patients’ illnesses and problems.

Years later, he has made the full transition from DO NO HARM to HEAL WITH LOVE… moving beyond the creed of allopathic medicine to the medicine of the quantum era to help folks heal, overcome, grow and connect with their essence. Today, although he still helps people resolve their physical problems, it is from the point of healing their souls.

One hundred years ago, the average life expectancy in the US was around 47 years of age. In 2022, even in the aftermath of a devastating pandemic, the average life expectancy has nearly doubled, with the numbers now hovering around 80 years old. Older Americans now have many more decades of time to fill, which makes the question of how they spend their later years – and who they spend them with – more relevant than ever.

Before Nita Patel applies a single brushstroke to her paintings, she takes a moment to sit with the canvas and pay close attention to its energetic qualities. She then marks the surface with an infinity symbol, or lemniscate, in an effort to imbue the surface with infinite possibilities for creation and reception. Aesthetically Patel’s work shares similarities to the mid 20th century North American movement of Abstract Expressionism.She offers a dynamic contemporary revision of this style that draws from the glistening jewel-toned color palette of our post-digital “lossless” world. Her non-differential treatment of the two-dimensional surface moves with spontaneous gestural brushstrokes and rich, optimistic pigments. Yet, to see Patel’s artwork as simply an extension of this earlier art historical canon would be a mistake. Her paintings must be situated within the performative power of the artist’s broader social influence as an entrepreneur, author and success coach who provides public education on self-empo

In today’s world, wars and controversies surrounding religion are becoming more common. What effect does this have on believers who happen to be a part of a multi-religion family? Bruce J.

Every child deserves a safe, clean, healthy ride to school. While there are diverse energy options that can achieve that goal, not all of them are affordable or available today to provide a better tomorrow for more students. With significant investments being made to clean up the nation’s school bus fleet, like the billions of dollars in funding available through the EPA’s Clean School Bus Program, there’s never been a better time to prioritize clean transportation. Tucker Perkins, President and CEO of the PERC, the Propane Education & Research Council, discusses a cleaner option for the nation’s school bus fleets, and a study that shows low-emission buses are linked to improved test scores. We’ll also provide information about school districts using propane buses in your market.

Author Peter Berk reflects on working with his father & the inspiration for the new action thriller series, TimeLock. Peter and his father, Howard, shared more than DNA—they shared a love of film and television and a talent for writing. Indeed, Howard was an award-winning film and TV writer and book author whose credits included such classic series as Columbo, Mission: Impossible, and The Rockford Files. Over the years, Peter and Howard worked on numerous projects together, but one screenplay stood out among the rest. It was a clever idea about the future of the justice system in America. In a country burdened with rampant crime and prison overcrowding, ambitious politicians roll out an innovative, but controversial technology called 'TimeLock' that instantly ages prisoners the number of years of their sentence—the ultimate punishment for inmates and the ultimate deterrent for potential criminals. Just one problem, though: what happens . . . if you happen to be innocent? These and other questions about m

Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary, MD, author of “The Prime” ​​says depression isn’t just a mind game, but very much a gut game too and new research is validating what ancient medicine has been focused on for centuries. Two new studies published in the journal Nature Communications found a link between several types of bacteria in the gut and depressive symptoms. Scientists are exploring whether some gut bacteria produce or consume mood-regulating chemicals, such as serotonin, or chemicals that cause inflammation in the body, which research has linked to depressive symptoms. Dr. Chaudhary is an internationally recognized expert in the ancient practice of Ayurvedic medicine (pronounced eye-yur-vayda and translated to “knowledge of life”). She says, in Ayurveda medicine, the gut and brain are one functional unit and the fastest way to shift mood is by changing diet, improving gut health and shifting your microbiome. When the gut-brain connection is disrupted—no matter what else you may add to boost your mood—you’re fightin
