Hour 1

Hour 2

Pharmacist, nutritionist, and cosmetic chemist Ben Fuchs shared alternative health concepts, offering tips on supplements and healthy changes to one's diet and lifestyle. Among the specific topics Fuchs covered were the value of essential fatty acids and the importance of reducing stress through proper nutrition. He also speculated on what may lie ahead in the health sciences in the coming decades, which he said will involve many developments in genetics.

Throughout the first and second hours, Fuchs fielded questions from listeners. For many of the conditions described by callers, including allergies, insomnia, and broken bones, he recommended nutritional supplements. For treating other health issues, he emphasized the positive role other approaches can play. A deep breathing technique, for example, could help with panic attacks, he suggested. Likewise, lifting weights strengthens the body and increases metabolism, and simply drinking plenty of water can lower high blood sugar, which contributes to many health problems. Fuchs also concurred with recent reports indicating that with moderate intensity, even minimal daily exercise can result in improved health and fitness.
