On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on Stuart Tomc spokesperson for the World Health Organization and Nordic Naturals. Stuart says that if your child is having trouble concentrating in school then it might be worth a try to start supplementing his/her diet with smart fats like omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3s have been found to increase attention span and improve brain function in kids. Dr Fitness found Nordic Naturals when he was searching for a great tasting pharmaceutical grade omega 3 supplement for his kids. Most of these fish oil supplements taste so nasty no kid would come near them. But Nordic Naturals has some that meet Dr Fitness’ standards and actually taste good. Stuart explained that kids need a minimum of 500 mg of essential fatty acids (EPA and DHA combined) and adults need between 2000-4000 mgs. To get a free sample call them at 800-787-7208.

Karen Child Ogen Explains How Too Much Technology Can Lead To More Impulsivity and ADD in Children

January 12, 2010 by angishields

Aria is a Nickelodeon TV star and she went 40 days without using any electronic devices. Karen talked about how all this new technology like cell phones, the internet and video games create a spiral where kids need more and more stimulation to feel satisfied. And since a kids brain isn’t fully formed until he/she is around 20, all this over stimulation can cause more impulsivity and ADD. Remember Karen and Danielle Tiano have that great series to help parents and children navigate the dangers of pornography addiction, sexting, self esteem, and other technology related issues.

Dr Cory Kidd Introduces Autom Your Robot Weight Loss Coach

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on our pal Dr Cory Kidd, inventor of Autom the most awesome robot and your personal weight loss coach who will help you lose weight. Since most people can only stay on a diet for less than a month Cory decided to do something about it. His robot has a 3-5 minute conversation with you each day to ask about your day – what exercise you did, what you ate, how you’re feeling, etc. Autom then shares her thoughts about what you did and gives you friendly advice and encouragement. All the research shows that when you add this kind of interaction then people will stay compliant with their weight loss program much longer than if they are doing it on their own. In fact most people who participated in the testing did not want to give the robot back. We have been following Autom’s rise since 2007 and she is getting ready for the big time. Cory is in Hong Kong right now putting the finishing touches on her. Check out her video demonstration at his website www.myautom.com
