In this episode of the NHA podcast, our host, Dr. Frank Sabatino is joined by the NHA Executive Director, Wanda Huberman and the NHA Virtual Team, Kathleen Gage and VLynn Hawkins talking about the National Health Association (NHA), the world's oldest plant-based organization and the upcoming 75th-anniversary celebration and conference, set to take place in Cleveland from June 22nd - 25th. This event will offer a mixture of science-based education, enjoyable activities, and delectable whole food, plant-based meals. Esteemed speakers, including Dr. Sabatino, Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. Alan Goldhammer and other plant-based lifestylists and influencers, will provide valuable insights and interact directly with participants. The conference is a hybrid with the sold-out in-person and for the third consecutive year, a virtual opportunity, widening its reach to a global audience. Kathleen and VLynn are working hard to create an immersive virtual experience complete with live streaming, Q&A sessions, and even a virtual meal experience. To top it off, those who invest a nominal fee for the virtual event can replay the sessions for up to a year. Wanda shares that the NHA has also announced its exciting new venture into organizing plant-based adventure trips. This initiative was born from a partnership with an NHA life member, Lisa McCarl, who is also a travel agent. As part of this initiative, the NHA is collaborating with Windstar Cruises, who are committed to offering plant-based meals and implementing environmentally friendly practices. The conversation also touches on the importance of maintaining an eco-friendly lifestyle. This episode provides a comprehensive overview of the upcoming NHA conference and the organization's mission to promote a plant-based lifestyle.  Listen in https://healthscience.org/030-NHA-75

Jo & Vicki start their discussion with Lynne McTaggat's research. “In the field of quantum physics, the most recent research has shown that the universe is the result of a dynamic process in which the basic elements that constitute everything we see and touch are in a constant state of exchange.” Lynne McTaggart. What would we be capable of if we lived that we are a ‘single organism of interconnected energy fields?' It is difficult as our culture does not support us being one – rather we are in competition with each other. ‘Collaboration and connection' Two Natural Ladies discuss the benefits of the communities who do this. Examples in the Longevity film show those that work together live longer and healthier. Jo shares the story of her mother in law returning to her village in Lebanon and being ‘called' to participate – she was the happiest she has been for a long time We stumble into looking after each other and are surprised with how it makes us feel. Vicki declares it is time for a paradigm shift! Let's make this the norm. “The key to changing that perception lies in shifting our focus and our awareness to the proof that is all around us of just how tied together we truly are” Lynne McTaggart. Two Natural Ladies then delve into the world of water fasting and healthy eating. As Vicki was discovering Dr Alan Goldhammer who founded True North in America, Jo discovered Dr John Fielding who founded The Clohesy River health farm out of Cairns in Australia. Dr Hammer talks about people going vegan who don't go vegan healthy! Overweight; High blood Pressure; Cardiovascular disease; Cancer; Arthritis are all side effects of the standard American diet. Jo & Vicki continue their discussion on supervised water fasting and teaching people to eat healthier. Educating us all on food and how we can process it “Processing is anything you do to the food to alter its natural state. You can cut it into smaller pieces to make it easier to eat. You can cook it, which softens it and makes the nutrients more available. You can grind it up to avoid having to chew, as in blended salads. These are fairly minimal forms of processing, and thus do not change the nature of the food too much.” Dr Goldhammer. A deep dive into health and wellbeing. *********** For more information about the Two Natural Ladies visit https://www.twonaturalladies.com.au/ Or follow the Two Natural Ladies on Facebook or Instagram @twonaturalladies https://www.facebook.com/twonaturalladies https://www.instagram.com/twonaturalladies/ Find out more about what we do join our group at http://bit.ly/2nlgroup Please subscribe to the Video podcast on the Two Natural Ladies YouTube Channel at http://bit.ly/tnlyoutube Video production sponsored by Nurture Queen Videos https://www.nurturequeenvideos.com

Two Natural Ladies have an awesome discussion with Elizabeth French on her journey through health and natural hygiene. The Natural Society started in 1960 and Elizabeth and her husband Roger, joined in 1973. After becoming interested in natural childbirth, Elizabeth expanded her interest into what they were eating and for the past 38 years she has been eating a natural food diet consisting mainly of raw foods. Vicki became very excited when Elizabeth spoke about her idol, Dr Alan Goldhammer, sharing the benefits of fasting for healing the body. We hear an amazing story of a gentlemen who fasted for two weeks after being diagnosed with Cirrhosis of the liver (and he wasn't a drinker!) – He had been given less than three months to live! Exercise, rest and taking time away from artificial lights and screens are also part of our road to wellness. Deep breathing, particularly through Yoga and drinking pure water will also make a difference. Jo shared her journey into the world of water filters, eliminating the chlorine and fluoride that has been added to our water. Fresh Air and Sunshine and a good dose of Vitamin D can also make a huge difference to our mental strength. And one of the Two Natural Ladies favourites: Positive thinking! Look on the bright side. It is so easy to get depressed looking at the world and seeing all that is ‘wrong' we need to see what we can do to make a difference. “I can't make a difference to the whole world and I can do something in my world” As we feel good we affect others to feel good.

Two Natural Ladies have both experienced the benefits of Intermittent Fasting. A process that has been recommended by certain health experts for over sixty years. Jo shares her discovery of Justin Nault and the information he gives about fasting. Justin talks about: Autophagy which is the body's way of cleaning out damaged cells, in order to regenerate newer, healthier cells. “Auto” means self and “phagy” means eat. So the literal meaning of autophagy is “self-eating.” This process begins after only 24 hours of fasting. AND Apoptosis is a process that occurs when a cell intentionally “decides” to die. In humans, apoptosis plays a major role in preventing cancer by causing cells with damaged DNA to commit “suicide” before they can become cancerous. ... Insulin creates weight gain. Fasting reduces insulin. Vicki talks about her health issues many years ago and how fruit fasting worked for her. She lost weight and had heaps more energy – it worked for her. She did have to deal with other people's opinions and after a time stopped sharing what she was doing with most people. The discussion continues, with talk about a leading fasting expert Dr Alan Goldhammer, who advocates fasting to assist us to live healthier lives. Give our digestion a break, help with inflammation. Craving processed food is out new normal. We no longer crave fruit. But after fasting for a short period of time our taste buds love fruit again. Jo & Vicki also touch on the foods advertised for children as healthy for them to eat. Only 10% of the content has any nutritional value! Have a listen and do some research for yourself

“Fasting is an effective and efficient way of reversing and normalizing blood pressure.”Today's guest is Dr. Alan Goldhamer who is one of the world's leading experts on medically supervised, water-only fasting. In 1984 he founded and became Director of TrueNorth Health Center in Santa Rosa, California; since then, he has supervised the fasting and care of more than 20,000 patients. It is the largest facility in the world specializing in medically supervised, water-only fasting and one of the premier training facilities for doctors to gain certification in the supervision of therapeutic fasting.This conversation was so powerful that we had to split it up into 2 episodes.In this first episode Lewis and Dr. Alan Goldhamer discuss the biggest benefits to water-only fasting, the best way to fast from the comfort of your own home, how one of Goldhamer's patient's was able to overcome cancer through fasting and diet change, what the “pleasure trap” is and how to avoid it, and so much more!For more check out: www.lewishowes.com/1124Check out his website: www.truenorthhealthfoundation.org/Check out one his books: The Pleasure TrapThe Wim Hof Experience: Mindset Training, Power Breathing, and Brotherhood: https://link.chtbl.com/910-podA Scientific Guide to Living Longer, Feeling Happier & Eating Healthier with Dr. Rhonda Patrick: https://link.chtbl.com/967-podThe Science of Sleep for Ultimate Success with Shawn Stevenson: https://link.chtbl.com/896-pod

Enter coupon code: thankyou  I designed this program after working with thousands to successfully end anxiety. - Ashley James   Health Is Wealth http://learntruehealth.com/health-is-wealth/ Today I did a fun interview with Alive and Well Podcast where I talked about how health is wealth. Brittany Adams is the host of the show. She usually interviews leading health and wellness experts who give valuable advice on how to achieve true health. Sickly Kid I was a sickly kid, and I was far from true health. It was a constant juggling between dealing with ear infections and throat infections. My mom also had her health issues, coping with candida which was not common during the 80s. In my health is wealth journey, my mom happened to meet a Naturopath who advised her to change her diet. We got rid of yeast, wheat, and sugar. In place of no grains, we shifted to eating whole foods and taking supplements. Growing Up Years I grew up hanging out in the health food store and was healthy until I was 13 years old. The rebel in me kicked in. I ate a lot of unhealthy foods, and so my health went downhill. I took the phrase, ‘health is wealth’ for granted. It was sad for me to be told at 19 years old that I would never have kids since I developed a bad case of PCOS and chronic infections. That’s why I was always on antibiotics. Plus, I was hungry all the time. During my 20s, I developed type 2 diabetes, chronic adrenal fatigue, and dealt with mood swings. My health situation was crazy!  Improving Health When I got married, my husband and I love to watch health documentaries. We shopped and ate organic foods. It was not long before my chronic infection stopped. My quality of life went up significantly. We truly realized that health is wealth. On our quest for true health, my husband and I tried so many diets over the years. We started studying with different Naturopathic physicians. It was not until seven years ago when we met a Naturopath who later on became our mentor. When I changed my diet and tried to adopt a healthier lifestyle, I was able to reverse my type 2 diabetes, and ultimately got rid of PCOS. My husband and I can honestly attest that Natural Medicine can make significant changes as far as true health is concerned. Plus, we are now proud parents of a beautiful three-year-old boy. Helping Others As someone who spent years struggling with health problems, it served as my motivation to help others once I got better and I wanted other people to also realize that health is wealth. I remember a particular friend of mine who had chronic issues. He was passing one kidney stone a month and always chronically in pain. Guiding him through some changes, that same month the kidney stones stopped. That was seven years ago, and it never returned. Another friend of mine was in her 60s. She was born with a genetic skin condition, and 90% of her body is covered in scales. After I helped her, my friend’s body recreated new healthy skin. These are only two of the numerous success stories I have helped achieve, and it’s proof that no matter how old you are, your body will heal. You can reverse medical conditions. And always remember that a diagnosis is not a life sentence. Learn True Health The number of people I have helped over the years increased. So, two years ago, I was thinking how else I could reach out to more people who needed help. I really wanted more people to embrace the importance that health is wealth. That’s why I started the Learn True Health podcast. Personally, I’m still on my health journey. And I’m still learning how to improve health especially now that I know health is wealth. So being able to interview health experts on the show significantly adds to my knowledge of true health. The Best Nutrients First, a disclaimer. I am not promoting a vegetarian diet since I know everybody is different and there’s no one diet for everyone. My primary mission is to promote eating more real food. I went from being Keto to Paleo before I became a vegetarian primarily on a whole foods diet since last year. A big part of my show is to not buy into any diet dogma, nor is it all about eating for weight loss. It’s more about the experience of shifting of how you eat to feel your body and see if you get overall better results. As far as minerals are concerned, you need to have your minerals in balance with other minerals. The best thing to do is to get all 60 minerals together in a combination that is plant-derived and easy to absorb. Then there are macronutrients, micronutrients, and phytochemicals. For phytochemicals, broccoli is a perfect example. There are a thousand phytochemicals in broccoli. I can go on and on how being on a plant-based diet is beneficial. But like I said, not everyone likes vegetables. It’s best to do it one step at a time for your palate to get used to it. Try it out for the first two weeks. Choose the vegetables you like and eat the ones that get you excited. The Right Foods There are many ways to enjoy eating vegetables. A former guest on my show, Dr. Joel Fuhrman says that when we eat broccoli, we must eat it well and chew it properly. By doing that, we create chemicals that have anti-cancer properties. Dr. Joel Fuhrman recommends sauteeing half a cup of mushrooms and cook it with onion and broth before adding it to a salad or brown rice. According to him, this reduces the chance of ever getting cancer. Personally, I made sure to eat foods that are rich in fiber. Ideally, six to eight cups of fiber from whole food make a significant difference in the long run. This is because fiber binds to all the toxins in our body. I also steer clear of baked goods because it’s calorie-dense. Once I fixed my diet choices, I noticed my bowel movement also improved. If you can adopt healthy food choices, you can also help the body remove excess estrogen.  Food Addiction It’s so easy to fall into the food trap. Food addiction is real. Any processed food has been designed to be hyper-palatable, so it excites and hijacks your brain. Also, don’t eat food with a logo because it takes about one to three months to bring the dopamine back down. Salt, sugar, and oil are primary ingredients that companies use in processing food. They use these ingredients to hijack your brain. So go for the whole foods. You’ll feel you have more energy and stamina, as well as feel cleaner and not sluggish. Purple cabbage is my absolute favorite. I’ve grown to love it so much that it takes like candy! I also like beets. Another way to make your food naturally tasty is to use the seasoning you love. I happen to love Asian flavors and tend to use ginger and green onions. A great way to grate ginger is to freeze it first before grating. Learn to play with seasonings. You don’t need to cook with butter or oil. Instead, cook food with water or broth. For more info on food addiction, check out Dr. Douglas Lisle and Dr. Alan Goldhammer’s book, The Pleasure Trap. It’s a great resource identifying how food addiction is a severe health disadvantage. There are so many helpful books out there that teaches you how to live a healthier lifestyle. Be on the lookout for resources that will teach you the following: how to live with fewer calories gain more nutrition naturally lose weight choosing foods with anti-cancer properties identify foods that help the body detox faster how to give your body more energy reducing toxins Free Your Anxiety Program True health isn’t just about the physical aspect. It’s also about the mental, emotional and spiritual aspect. My Free Your Anxiety Program has benefitted a lot of people.

 http://www.NeverBingeAgain.com Impact Of Eating Right http://learntruehealth.com/impact-eating-right/ Most of us shrug off the importance and impact of eating right. With my returning guest today, we covered things like binge eating and strategies on how to eat as well as develop willpower. Today, Dr. Glenn Livingston is back on the show to talk about our relationship with food as well as the impact of eating right towards achieving a good mental and emotional health. Helping People Dr. Glenn Livingston, not a medical doctor, but rather a psychologist. So, he’s genuinely a good resource person who could expound on how the impact of eating right can benefit us in so many ways. Dr. Glenn Livingston helps people on all sorts of diets. I suggest that everyone must sign up for his newsletter as well as download his free Never Binge Again book from his website. He is a raw vegan. And when Dr. Glenn Livingston works with people, he does it the context of a coach. Rarely does he talk about his diet. He says this is because people are most likely going to become resistant if they think they had to be a raw vegan like Dr. Glenn Livingston. Raw Vegan Diet Dr. Glenn Livingston eats almost entirely fruits and vegetables. He gets enough protein and calcium which he says made him feel stronger, sleep better, normalize his blood pressure, as well as made his psoriasis and eczema disappear. “I have no problem staying relatively thin, and I have no tremendous carb or salt cravings. It’s something I have evolved into over the course of so many years,” shares Dr. Glenn Livingston.  He adds, “Every time I got rid of some industrially processed food, I ask myself what authentic physiological, biological need I have for these foods. And I start to train myself to crave for healthier things.”  Foods To Avoid Dr. Glenn Livingston believes that food has been demonized, along with all of the processed carbohydrates. Knowing the impact of eating right is essential now more than ever. We must fix our relationship with food before it’s too late. “I’m very much not in favor of people indulging in a lot of starch and sugar. It’s a big part of the downfall of our health and society,” Dr. Glenn Livingston said. “The American Diabetic Association does not encourage you to limit fruit or whole food. There’s a lot of fear and demonization of fruit in particular.” Dr. Glenn Livingston also reveals that there’s another culprit people are not paying attention to. He says fat acts as an insulator. Studies show that unfortunately, 30 to 40% of the American diet contains fat. “If you drop it down to the 10% range, the uptake transport and absorption of sugar and oxygen are dramatically better. You’ll notice this in your ability to breathe better, and your performance at the gym improves dramatically,” said Dr. Glenn Livingston. “Cardiovascular performance will also improve. It’s incredible we’re not aware we are creating problems by putting so much fat in our system.” Mother’s Experience When Dr. Glenn Livingston was 15 years old, his mother had some few cancerous tumors in her uterus. She saw an alternative healer who suggested going on a vegan diet instead of having a hysterectomy. Dr. Glenn Livingston’s mother was not even 40 years old when she was diagnosed, so she also hesitated to have the surgery done. Deciding to go on a vegan diet for six months, her tumors reversed, and she eventually didn’t have to have a hysterectomy. From that point on, Dr. Glenn Livingston was determined to become a vegan, too. Dr. Glenn Livingston’s mother eventually went off on the vegan diet and lived for another 35 years later or so before she passed away. But Dr. Glenn Livingston was already convinced that there was something special about the vegan diet, although he strayed from the vegan diet during his college years.  Finding The Right Diet Dr. Glenn Livingston recalls coming across a book in graduate school about cancer. It reminded him of the vegan connection that’s why he decided to go back to a vegan diet. But he still didn’t understand everything back then. Labeling himself a junk food vegan then, Dr. Glenn Livingston thought eating pasta, candy, and fried foods were okay as long as it wasn’t animal products. Not surprisingly, he didn’t get very healthy on that diet. Dr. Glenn Livingston married a year after that, although he’s divorced now. He shares that he was married to a woman who was brought up in a deli and the Atkins diet was gaining popularity that time. But his ex-spouse apparently had a friend who was studying nutrition and advocated a low carb diet. Unfortunately, Dr. Glenn Livingston, couldn’t stick to the diet. He couldn’t seem to achieve the impact of eating right, so he wasn’t really in tip-top shape during his 30s and 40s. Constant Research Dr. Glenn Livingston kept reading books in the hope that he could find the right kind of diet for him. He came across The China Study by T. Colin Campbell. The book explained the author’s research in China, where they looked at the correlation between the different health conditions and diet.  “Cancer was very much associated with the level of animal protein that people had. If people can keep their level of animal protein under 5%, they would have virtually no cancer whatsoever,” said Dr. Glenn Livingston. Dr. Glenn Livingston also started to look for some books about vegan nutrition. He came across Eat To Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman, who was advocating against animal protein. Incidentally, Dr. Joel Fuhrman was a former guest in one of my episodes. I was hooked on meat before and took me a while to come around. Dr. Joel Fuhrman was very thorough in explaining everything about animal protein. I love his very science-based approach towards making a diet. Dr. Glenn Livingston also cited the book Proteinaholic: How Our Obsession with Meat Is Killing Us, by Dr. Garth Davis and Howard Jacobson. The book is about the science of protein addiction and why we don’t need it. “Our muscles are supposed to produce these energy-giving substances, but when you eat animal protein, the body stops producing those substances,” Dr. Glenn Livingston explains. “When you stop eating meat, people feel exhausted. They don’t feel well because it takes a while for their muscles to upregulate and start producing it again.”  He adds, “That’s why people think they need it. Same for sugar. But food cravings will go away quicker than you think, usually within four days.”  Seeing A Change Dr. Glenn Livingston says that although he got healthy following a low protein diet, he still had little psoriasis. Plus, he still had weight issues. But now that on a raw vegan diet, Dr. Glenn Livingston’s health significantly improved. He finally felt he was on the right track after seeing the impact of eating right. According to Dr. Glenn Livingston, Victoria Boutenko’s book (Green Smoothie Revolution) on raw foods is a good resource for making green smoothies. He drinks green smoothies especially during the days when he craves for chocolate. Dr. Glenn Livingston persevered and kept trying different green smoothie recipes. It’s not the same high compared to eating chocolate, but the craving would go away. After a few months, he noticed his craving started to shift to green smoothies! “I always believe these cravings that we think we can’t live without, there’s an authentic biological reason behind it,” said Dr. Glenn Livingston. Fruits And Vegetables To better understand the benefits of incorporating fruits and vegetables into your diet, Dr. Glenn Livingston recommends Dr. Doug Graham’s 80/10/10 diet. In formulating the 80/10/10 diet, Dr. Doug Graham says we’re meant to live on fruits and vegetables, as well as a handful of nuts and seeds. Part of the belief system is also saying we are not supposed to cook food. Because apparently, cooking creates all sorts of toxins.  It is energy-draining and has life-killing substances, so Dr. Glenn Livingston felt better eating raw. “I hired a coach, got to meet Dr. Doug Graham and attended workshops. I now speak for low-fat, raw veganism. It’s difficult to get used to. You have to eat more volume than you’re used to, and you have to commit,” said Dr. Glenn Livingston. Dr. Glenn Livingston’s diet primarily consists of smoothies, lettuce, bananas, mangoes, strawberries, and sometimes dates. He also likes to make cucumber noodles topped with a sauce made of tomatoes, lemon juice, and dates which were Dr. Glenn Livingston’s significant weight loss trick. Effect On Emotional And Mental Health Dr. Glenn Livingston says when you put things into your body that your body has to recover from, it affects the physiological energy of the nervous system. Our body goes into digesting it, eliminating and isolating the toxins to deal with the enormous task that you give it. “And when all the energy is put into that, it doesn’t have the energy to conduct the emotions. So, you’re not present in the way you could be. You’re also not able to feel the emotions the way you could be,” said Dr. Glenn Livingston. “And you’re not able to feel. This is why people say they need food for comfort. Because it does act as a kind of anesthetic to numb the feeling we have.”  He adds, “But I also think that there is a pleasure response, like the feeling we get with drugs. Because we’re being provided with substances that concentrates pleasurable substances.” Dr. Glenn Livingston furthermore explains that we wind up with a whole cascade of events in the nervous system that distorts and perverts its pleasurable response to natural stimuli. When you eliminate that, then people can feel, be present and ultimately, they can think. Maintaining The Willpower Dr. Glenn Livingston believes that what we are built for with our psychology, is to operate according to character. He says that when you make character statements and adopt them into what person you want to be, and how you want food to play in your life, then the obsession is less.  “There’s always the possibility of reawakening that old pathway. Our bodies are normally flexible. There’s a principle in research called neuroplasticity. Every time you have a craving, you are rewiring your brain to say, this craving equals to this food instead,” said Dr. Glenn Livingston. In line with that train of thought, I had Dr. Alan Goldhammer on the show, who talked about the benefits of eliminating salt, oil, and sugar, as well as tips on how to deal with cravings. Another informative episode was with Dr. Esselstyn, a cardiac surgeon who reverses heart disease with diet. He spoke in detail ways on how to train the brain to eat natural things. “You don’t have to eat super healthy. Start with one change that has a noticeable impact on health,” said Dr. Glenn Livingston. “And more importantly, an impact and ability to make a commitment and stick to it. Because you can build on that.” Bio Glenn Livingston, Ph.D. is a veteran psychologist and was the long-time CEO of a multi-million dollar consulting firm which has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry.  His previous work, theories, and research have been published in major periodicals like The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Sun Times, The Indiana Star Ledger, The NY Daily News, and American Demographics.  He has also guested on ABC, WGN, and/or CBS radio, or UPN TV.  Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals, Dr. Glenn Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants.  Most important, however, was his journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food.  Get Connected with Dr. Glenn Livingston: Official Website Fix Your Problem Facebook Instagram Never Binge Again Podcast Book by Dr. Glenn Livingston Never Binge Again Book –  GET IT FOR FREE HERE!!!

In this episode I speak to Andy, a former body building champion who's been into fitness for over 30 years. Andy also runs a very successful food business for over 20 years, employing 50 people at the heart of London. We discuss his early life, training, competitions, and growing a business on such scale whilst trying to balance family life. Over time Andy reveals how he develops adrenal fatigue which he struggles to recover from. And that's where I come in. Together we explore the benefits of high-carb low-fat diet which seems to be most natural for humans and we even touch water fasting. We mentioned a few vegan doctors that you should follow: de Klapper, dr Alan McDougall and dr Alan Goldhammer and his famous fasting retreat in California - The True North Centre. I hope you'll enjoy listening to this one.

Early last year I made a youtube video called my argument against moderation. I received a lot of great feedback from this video, including a number of people recommending I read The Pleasure Trap by Doug Lisle and Alan Goldhammer. Of course I turned straight to chapter 14 and started reading about The Myths of Moderation and this is still my favourite chapter I've ever read. It really helped me to know that some genuine experts in diet and psychology were also thinking along similar lines to me and that perhaps I wasn't just some crazy nut job after all!

While in Santa Rosa I was lucky enough to be able to visit True North Health Centre a couple of times. When I walked in the doors I felt instantly at home. It was such a nice feeling to be surrounded by people who were dedicating themselves to good health and wellbeing, a really positive, loving and caring environment. The founder of True North, Dr Alan Goldhammer was very kind to take some time out of his day to sit down with me for this conversation.
