Healthy Skeptic Robert Davis Busts Sunscreen Myths

00:00 /

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on Healthy Skeptic Robert J Davis PhD. Robert is an award winning health journalist whose work has appeared on CNN, PBS, WebMD and the Wall Street Journal. He debunked all those myths about sunscreen. Robert explained that there is a lack of FDA regulation of sunscreen. So there are very often misleading claims on the the sunscreen packaging. He shared tips on which sunscreens are safe and which are a rip off. He also explained that any sunscreen over 30 spf is pretty much overkill. According the Consumer Reports the best sunscreen is a brand from Target not one of those expensive designer brands. Instead of relying on sunscreen to protect you – go old school and wear a hat and cover up, stay in the shade and wear black. To learn more about bogus health claims please buy his book The Healthy Skeptic. Cutting Through The Hype About Your Health on Amazon and go to his website www.everwell.com

Start with very light or no weight until the child learns how to do the exercise with perfect form. Be very supportive and try and incorporate exercises that use your child’s body weight along with exercises that use weights or machines. And relax weight training has not been found to stunt a child’s growth. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

The Emotional Side of Succession and Estate Planning

June 16, 2010 by angishields

Estate planning for the family-business owner encompasses much more than developing tax strategies. What’s at stake is the survival of the business itself—often the sole source of the family’s wealth.

There is often a forgotten component, that when omitted, can result in a perfectly drafted estate plan that ends up embroiling the survivors in court battles for years. That factor is the emotional and very personal side of planning for the future of the business and the future of the family.

Without addressing the underlying emotional issues that often reside just below the surface before you focus on the technical aspects of estate planning, your time and money may be wasted and your plan may be doomed.

Our guests today, James Robinson, Partner, Schiff Hardin LLP, and Stephanie Brun de Pontet, Ph.D., an associate of The Family Business Consulting Group, Inc. bring a wealth of first-hand experience helping family business owners address both the psychological and legal aspects of succession and estate planning.

Tune in at 1:00pm on June 17th to learn first-hand how you can ensure a successful transfer of your business and your wealth.

Our guests:
