Tonight’s Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy Show is sponsored by The Card Mom, Celeste Katz. If you are looking for a great easy to implement system for sending out personal hand stamped greeting cards please check out Celeste’s great website www.thecardmom.com

Don’t forget about The Roswell-tree Road Race to be held this July 4th at Roswell Park that benefits The Atlanta Community Food Bank. This great event is a fun run in the truest sense. You see everyone who signs up is placed in a division that includes only them - which ensures that when they complete the race they will have won their division. Imagine that, a race that you are guaranteed to win. There are a few other fun and silly rules to abide by or not. For more information contact Sally Jamara at her website www.roswelltree.org

On tonight’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn all about how to connect with your inner truth so that you can release emotional barriers and energy blocks that cause pain and disease from author, blogger, speaker Deborah King. Deborah explained how illnesses of body, mind, and spirit are expressions of a personal imbalance with the truth.

Deborah said “To many, it’s a radical notion, but I have witnessed countless healings in people who were simply willing, finally, to face the truth about something in their lives.”

She is the author of Truth Heals: What You Hide Can Hurt You (available early 2009). She is also a health & wellness expert, attorney, frequent TV commentator, national keynote speaker, and a “healer to the stars.” You can also find her as regular blogger for The Huffington Post.

As a young attorney and hotel developer, Deborah suffered from a host of emotional and medical problems, culminating with cancer in her twenties. Her amazing recovery led her to leave the corporate arena for the alternative medical field, where she mastered ancient and modern healing systems and ultimately developed a powerful technique of her own. She is trained to address both the mind and the body’s health and disease processes (unlike a psychologist, who is restricted to the mind) and makes frequent appearances on national news and entertainment programs.

Deborah guides thousands to recovery through her public appearances, workshops, and her writings. She invites you to experience the dynamic principles of how truth heals by going to her website www.deborahkingcenter.com.

We started the show with good friend Matt Bryzcki, author of Youth Fitness: An Action Plan for Shaping America’s Kids. Matt is the Assistant Director of Campus Recreation at Princeton University and has over 25 years experience at the collegiate level as a coach, instructor and administrator. Tonight he talked about the importance of doing each repetition in your strength training workout with good form and energy. He also had some great tips to help you choose your next personal trainer.

We were also joined by regulars Kathy and Fletcher Newbern who just got back to the United States in order to give us their Spa Report. They shared all kinds of stories about their recent, almost 3 week long, trip to the Maldive Islands. The are travel writers who are fortunate enough to spend their days enjoying the most exotic and fabulous destinations around the globe. To learn more about their latest adventure and to see beautiful pictures and read wonderful tales please go to their website www.yourspareport.com

We closed the show with Lampkin Butts, COO of Sanderson Farms, one of the nation’s finest poultry providers. Lampkin is also actively involved in informing the public about some misleading labeling practices authorized by the USDA for fresh poultry. You see some chicken providers are injecting their birds with salt water and calling them “Natural Chickens.” Lampkin’s group the Truthful Labeling Coalition doesn’t want these compnaies to be able to do that without letting the consumer know about it in big bold letters, not sime fine print on the bottom of the packaging.

At Sanderson Farms where Lampkin works all his chickens are 100% All Natural Chicken no additives of any kind. He believes if you buy his chickens you should get all chicken.

Before we got started we thanked Lisa Lillien, the Hungry-Girl for taking us to dinner when she was in Atlanta for her event promoting her NY Times Best Selling book Hungry-Girl: Recipes and Survival Strategies for Guilt-Free Eating in the Real World.

On tonight’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn all about the dangers of toxins in everyday products like cosmetics and plastics from award winning investigative reporter Mark Schapiro.

Mark has been investigating environmental and international issues for over 20 years. His work has been featured in: Harper’s, The Nations, NOW with Bill Moyers, FRONTLINE and NPR.

In 2007 he wrote Exposed, a book that compares the proactive governmental policies of the European Union when it comes to environment, safety and health to the the more reactive policies of the US.

Mark explained that in the United States their are no government regulators checking to see if there are any toxins in products such as cosmetics and plastics. In Europe that is not the case. The European Union have oversight over cosmetics and they have compiled a list of dangerous ingredients that are not allowed in cosmetics. Sadly in the US cosmetics sold here are filled with carcinogens that are banned in Europe.

For more information about Mark, his investigative reporting and his new book Exposed, please go to his website www.centerforinvestigativereporting.org

Next we had Dr David Dahlman, author of the book Why Doesn’t My Doctor Know This?

Dr. Dahlman, is a Chiropractor with a degree in Nutrition, became the Director of The Hyde Park Holistic Center in order to educate patients that there are alternatives to traditional medical care.

Treating a variety of chronic health conditions from a nutritional and herbal perspective, his understanding of the importance of the gastrointestinal system to human health forms the basis of most treatment protocols. Because of this focus, he has developed his remarkably successful treatment for any uncomfortable symptoms associated with the gastrointestinal system.

Whether irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s or any form of colitis), Dr. Dahlman’s treatment protocol has eliminated all symptoms in a vast majority of his patients.

Dr. Dahlman’s treatments are patient-centered and focus on finding the cause of the patient’s complaints. The treatments use all-natural supplements; they do not use dangerous drugs that only suppress symptoms and carry the risk of significant side effects.

On the show Dr Dahlman emphasized the importance of eliminating all dairy if you are afflicted with any of the GI problems. His website is filled with lots of great information, as well as his book so check it out www.drdahlman.com

We closed the show with one of the smartest people we have ever met Dr Cory Kidd, inventor of Autom, the world’s first robotic weight loss coach.

Cory recently completed his Ph.D. in human-robot interaction at the MIT Media Lab and is known as leading researcher in the field. His experience in human-robot interaction and developing novel technology for healthcare applications for the last ten years is a key to Intuitive Automata’s success.

Prior to his graduate studies at the Media Lab, Cory was a research scientist as part of the Aware Home project at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Autom was designed to help people who are trying to lose weight keep it off by encouraging them to stick with their diet and exercise program. Autom verbally asks dieters to input data about what they ate on a touch screen then she provides encouragement and advice. Autom will be available for purchase in a year or so, but they will be needing testers sooner than that so if you are interested please go to Cory’s website and sign up www.intuitiveautomata and www.myautom.com
