  Dr. Robyn Daugherty, a double board-certified female plastic surgeon and the Founder of Daugherty Plastic Surgery in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, serving patients throughout the greater Baton Rouge area, Lafayette, and the Northshore communities again joins eHealth Radio and the Plastic Surgery Information Channel. She specializes in aesthetic procedures for the breast, body, and face, providing natural-looking results and dedicated, compassionate care to every patient. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Robyn Daugherty discuss the following: As many patients who have undergone significant weight loss often arrive with unique nutritional needs, how do you assess where patients stand before moving forward with surgery, and how does that evaluation factor into healing?What specific nutrition guidance do you give patients who are considering surgery after weight loss to make sure their bodies are truly ready for the operating room?How do you help patients address factors like protein deficiency and muscle loss that can accompany significant weigh loss as part of their perioperative plan?What does the post-operative nutrition plan look like for a weight loss patient, and how do you help them stay on track with their healing, especially if they have a complicated relationship with food and their body?5. What are the most common nutritional mistakes that weight loss patients make before or after body contouring surgery, and what do you wish every patient knew before coming in for their consultation? As a double board-certified female plastic surgeon and the founder of Daugherty Plastic Surgery in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Dr. Robyn Daugherty has built her practice on a simple but powerful belief: that the surgical result is only part of the story. The experience surrounding it, including how well a patient is prepared, how supported they feel on the day of surgery, and how thoughtfully they are guided through recovery, is just as important to a beautiful outcome as what happens in the operating room. In this episode, she walks us through her approach to perioperative care across the full spectrum of plastic surgery procedures, from tummy tucks and mommy makeovers to breast surgery and facial rejuvenation, and how she ensures that every patient at Daugherty Plastic Surgery feels informed, confident, and genuinely cared for at every stage of their journey. Dr. Daugherty will also address the questions and concerns she hears most often, including what patients should realistically do – and avoid – in the weeks before and after surgery, how she tailors recovery guidance for busy moms, working professionals, and active patients with real lives to return to, and what separates a smooth surgical experience from a stressful one. As a wife and mother who understands the demands her patients manage every day, she approaches these conversations with both clinical expertise and genuine empathy. Whether you are just beginning to explore your options or you are already scheduled for surgery and want to know how to prepare, this episode offers a clear, honest, and encouraging roadmap for what great perioperative care can look like and how Dr. Daugherty partners with every patient to make the entire process feel as seamless as the results.

As a board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained hair restoration surgeon and the founder of Palm Beach Skin & Hair Restoration in Jupiter, Florida, Dr. Leena Ramani has built her practice on a belief that most patients never hear from their doctors: that hair loss is not just a cosmetic concern. For the people who experience it, hair loss can quietly reshape the way they carry themselves, the way they feel in a room, and the relationship they have with their own reflection. In this episode, she walks us through her comprehensive approach to hair restoration, including the causes of hair loss, medical therapies, surgical procedures, and regenerative treatments she uses to help them reclaim what they have lost and protect what remains. Dr. Ramani will also address what patients most need to understand before starting any hair restoration journey, including why an accurate diagnosis matters more than any single treatment, how she tailors surgical plans for men and women with different patterns, presentations, and goals, and what separates a result that looks natural from one that looks obvious. A South Florida native shaped by a childhood steeped in fine art, classical music, and medicine, she approaches every case with an unusual combination of clinical rigor and artistic sensibility – one that allows her to restore not just density, but proportion, balance, and confidence. Whether you are noticing early thinning and wondering what your options are, or you have been navigating hair loss for years and are finally ready to take action, this episode offers an honest, thorough, and genuinely encouraging look at what modern hair restoration can achieve and how Dr. Ramani partners with every patient to make the journey feel as seamless as the results.

GYMGUYZ — now a global mobile fitness brand with over 200 locations across 30 states and 6 countries, and one of the most compelling entrepreneurial stories in the fitness industry. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Josh York discuss the following: You built GYMGUYZ from your parents' dining room table into a brand with 200+ locations across 30 states and 6 countries. What was the moment you realized this wasn't just a side idea anymore?You're up at 3:29 a.m. for a cold plunge, workout, and sauna before most people are awake. What does that morning routine actually do for your energy and mindset — and what would you tell someone who can't imagine waking up that early?A lot of people start a fitness routine and quit within weeks. From building a company around in-home training, what's the single biggest reason people fail to stick with it — and what actually works instead?What's one small, doable habit — something a busy listener could start tomorrow — that makes the biggest difference in someone's health?You've said rest is optional but building something extraordinary isn't. How do you personally balance pushing hard with not burning out? TIP: Pick one thing — not five. Most people fail at fitness or business because they try to overhaul everything at once. Choose one habit, whether it's a morning walk, a plunge, or ten minutes of movement, and stack consistency before you add complexity. Discipline compounds; overwhelm doesn't. GYMGUYZ is proud to be the first in-home mobile personal training and fitness franchise company. As the leader of in home personal training, we’re redefining physical fitness by bringing the workout to you, when and where it’s convenient for you.

  Nicolas Mérand, a French psychoanalytic practitioner, energy healing practitioner, author, and Founder of Téléphane Énergie Éditions et Multimédia, an association exploring the links between trauma, the unconscious, the body, and energy healing joins eHealth Radio and the Emotional Health and Health News Channels. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Nicolas Mérand discuss the following: What inspired you to write Cleanse Your Traumas With Energy Healing?You describe trauma as something that can remain active in the body and energy system. What do you mean by that?How can unresolved emotional experiences show up later in life through symptoms such as fatigue, anxiety, sleep issues, or chronic stress?Your work creates a bridge between psychoanalytic insight and energy healing. How do these two approaches complement each other?What can listeners begin to do if they feel they are carrying emotional weight or trauma that they cannot fully explain? TIP: A simple first step is to listen to the body differently. Instead of seeing every symptom only as a problem to silence, we can gently ask: “What is my body trying to tell me?” This does not replace medical or psychological care, but it can open a new relationship with ourselves — one based on listening, awareness, and compassion. Nicolas Mérand is a French psychoanalytic practitioner, energy healing practitioner, author, and founder of the association Téléphane Énergie Éditions et Multimédia. After nearly thirty years in the technology sector, he turned toward therapeutic and energetic practices following a personal transformation. His work explores how unresolved trauma may continue to express itself through the body, emotions, energy, and recurring life patterns. In his book Cleanse Your Traumas With Energy Healing, Nicolas proposes a bridge between psychoanalytic understanding and magnetism, suggesting that the body may carry traces of what the mind has not fully processed. His approach invites readers to listen to symptoms, sensations, fatigue, anxiety, and inner blockages as possible signals of deeper emotional or energetic imprints. Through his books and association, he seeks to open a dialogue between psychology, symbolic healing, and complementary approaches to well-being.

  Cristina Gutierrez, co-founder of Lotus Disability, a membership platform and vetted marketplace built around one core idea: navigating life with a serious health condition shouldn't be a full-time job on top of everything else joins eHealth Radio and the Health News Channel. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Cristina Gutierrez discuss the following: Why is disability management so complicated today?Many organizations believe they have a strong disability-inclusion strategy, yet most disabilities remain undisclosed. Why do you think that gap exists, and what can employers do to build enough trust that employees feel comfortable asking for support?You've worked in HR and now lead a company helping employers navigate disability support. What is the biggest misconception employers have about disability management/benefits? How can they shift from a compliance mindset to one focused on employee success?Disability affects far more employees and caregivers than many organizations realize. How can employers better recognize the hidden impact disability has on productivity, retention, and engagement before it turns into burnout or turnover?As benefits packages continue to evolve, where do you think traditional health plans and employee-assistance programs fall short in supporting employees with disabilities and caregivers, and how can employers close those gaps?If you could give every CEO or CHRO one piece of advice about building a workplace where employees with disabilities can truly thrive, what would it be, and why is that investment good for both people and business performance? Cristina Gutierrez is Co-Founder of Lotus Disability, a membership platform and vetted marketplace built around one core idea: navigating life with a serious health condition shouldn't be a full-time job on top of everything else. Cristina and her co-founder, Emily Stanislaus, started Lotus after seeing firsthand how much time, money, and energy gets absorbed by what they call the "disability tax," the constant work of finding the right equipment, the right benefit, or the right person who can actually help. Lotus connects members directly to vetted vendors and resources across the areas that matter most, from adaptive equipment to personal care to legal and financial navigation, so members can spend less time searching and more time living their lives. Cristina brings over a decade of Fortune 500 HR leadership to that mission, having worked at American Express, Kabbage, Marriott International, and McKinsey & Company. She holds a B.A. in Psychology from Agnes Scott College and a Master's in Industrial Organizational Psychology from the University of West Florida, a combination that shapes how she approaches Lotus: less about building another platform and more about understanding people well enough to build something that meets them where they are. Outside of work, Cristina is happiest outside and on the move enjoying life with her wife and cofounder, and their two boys.

Rea discuss the following: Janet, with over 35 years of experience bringing landmark treatments like LEUKINE® and FLU-BLOK® from clinical development to commercialization, you have a deep public health and scientific perspective on drug development. From an R&D leadership standpoint, what drew you to this chapter at Atossa, and how does your background shape your vision for the company’s expansion into rare diseases?Over the past several months, Atossa has made an aggressive, synchronized push into the orphan disease space securing back-to-back FDA Rare Pediatric Disease designations for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and McCune-Albright Syndrome (MAS), while simultaneously appointing a dedicated Medical Director for Rare Diseases. Why is now the optimal moment for Atossa to rapidly scale this multi-pronged, rare disease strategy alongside your established breast oncology programs?The company’s lead product candidate is (Z)-endoxifen. For those unfamiliar with the compound, how does Atossa’s proprietary oral formulation differ from traditional treatments like tamoxifen, particularly regarding its safety profile, and mechanisms like PKC inhibition?The FDA has granted (Z)-endoxifen both Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease (RPD) designations for DMD. How do these specific designations alter Atossa’s clinical and regulatory strategy?

The regulatory landscape for orphan drugs is transforming rapidly, especially with the FDA's new Rare Disease Innovation Hub and accelerated approval frameworks. How are these new federal guidelines changing the way biotech companies design clinical trials and talk to regulators?Given your prior leadership role at AVI BioPharma (now Sarepta Therapeutics), a pioneer in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and your background teaching biomedical regulatory affairs, how does that specific rare-disease experience inform your scientific and clinical strategy as Atossa advances (Z)-endoxifen for DMD and McCune-Albright Syndrome?As you look toward the next 12 to 18 months, what is the primary clinical milestone or breakthrough that you are most excited to deliver to patients and shareholders?

Stephanie has spent more than five decades helping people improve their fitness, health, and longevity through practical, proactive lifestyle choices. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Stephanie Shorr discuss the following: Your book encourages people to take a more proactive, preventative approach to their health. What first led you to start thinking about healthspan instead of just treating problems after they appear?
You talk about being more “conscientious” about health choices. What does that look like in everyday life for someone who wants to start paying closer attention to their body?
Gut health is a major theme in the book. Why do you believe the microbiome is such a foundational place for people to begin improving their overall health?You emphasize that nutrition is important, but movement is equally essential. What are some realistic ways people can incorporate exercise into their day, especially if they feel too busy to work out?
If someone listening wants to start improving their health today, what are a few small changes you believe can make the biggest difference over time? TIP: One of the simplest ways to begin improving your health is to start paying closer attention to how your body responds to your daily choices. Notice how you feel after certain foods, how much energy you have after moving your body, how your sleep affects your mood, and whether your habits are supporting or draining you. You do not have to overhaul your entire life overnight. Start with one small, repeatable change, such as adding more whole foods, taking a short walk after meals, drinking more water, or stretching for a few minutes each day. Small steps, practiced consistently, can create meaningful changes in your health over time. Body advocate, fitness program director, and artist Stephanie Shorr mentors those seeking optimal health and longevity.

  Paul Romness, Chair, Chief Executive Officer & President of OS Therapies, a clinical-stage oncology company and leader in gene-edited, Listeria-based cancer immunotherapies developing targeted treatments for osteosarcoma and other solid tumors joins eHealth Radio and the Cancer Information & Health News Channels. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Paul Romness discuss the following: To start, you bring a wealth of leadership experience to the table, and you are now guiding OS Therapies through an incredibly pivotal regulatory chapter. Could you share what personally drew you to this mission, and how your background shaped the company's laser-focus on tackling devastating, hard-to-treat solid tumors like osteosarcoma?OS Therapies is described as a leader in gene-edited, Listeria-based cancer immunotherapies. For our audience, how do you harness Listeria bacteria to trigger an immune response against solid tumors?Traditional therapies usually look for just one specific marker to target a cancer cell, but cancers can mutate to hide from them. OST-HER2 goes after three different markers instead. How does this triple-target approach prevent the cancer from escaping, and why is that such a game-changer?Osteosarcoma is a devastating disease that often affects children and young adults. How does OST-HER2 work to prevent or delay the recurrence of these tumors after surgical resection?The company recently reported positive Phase 2b data for OST-HER2 in patients with recurrent, fully resected lung metastatic osteosarcoma. What were the key takeaways regarding event-free and overall survival from that study?

Looking at your broader pipeline, you are also developing next-generation Tunable Antibody Drug Conjugates (tADCs) using a proprietary silicone linker. How does this complement your immunotherapy platform?If you achieve U.S. approval in 2026, OS Therapies would become eligible for a Priority Review Voucher. How does that voucher factor into your long-term commercialization or capitalization strategy?
As both CEO and Chairman, navigating three major regulatory bodies (FDA, EMA, MHRA) simultaneously is a massive undertaking. What advice do you have for other biotech leaders attempting to harmonize global regulatory pathways for rare diseases?If everything aligns as you hope with the FDA, EMA, and MHRA, what will this mean for the families and young patients facing osteosarcoma, and what is your ultimate vision for how OS Therapies will reshape the landscape of cancer treatment over the next few years? Paul Romness is the chair, CEO, and President of OS Therapies. He leads the company with over 25 years of experience in the biopharmaceutical industry, having served in multiple functions at Johnson & Johnson, Amgen, and Boehringer Ingelheim. He has been directly involved in the launch of nine major products spanning oncology, surgery, HIV, pulmonary disease, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, and has been a consistent advocate for addressing unmet medical need and getting treatments to patients.

  Jennifer Kaufman, a special education administrator, author of Grandparenting on the Spectrum, and founder of First Response Autism Solutions, bringing over 20 years of expertise to families, grandparents, and first responders navigating the world of autism joins eHealth Radio and the Autism & Health News Channels. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Jennifer Kaufman discuss the following: You've been in special education for over 20 years and then your grandson was diagnosed with autism. Did that change anything for you, or did you feel like you already had it covered?A lot of grandparents come into this with a picture in their head of what being a grandparent in their grandchild's life is going to look like. When that picture changes, it can be really hard. How do grandparents shift those expectations in a way that actually lets them show up better for their adult child?What does chronic stress actually do to the body of a caregiver who has been at this for years and doesn't think of themselves as someone who needs help?You also train police and first responders on how to best support autistic community members. What is the one thing that stops officers cold when they go through your training, and why does it matter to every family listening right now?You wrote a book, you train first responders, you run a school. What do you want the average person who knows nothing about autism to walk away knowing after this conversation? HELPFUL TIPS: If your grandchild or child has autism, get them in the water early. Swim lessons are not optional for this population. Over 90% of accidental deaths of people with autism involve drowning. That statistic does not have to be your family's story. Find a program, find an instructor, find a way. It is that important. The next time a child is struggling in public and your instinct is to wonder why they can't just behave, try replacing that thought with this one. They are not giving anyone a hard time. They are having one. That shift in thinking costs you nothing and it changes everything about how you respond. Jennifer Kaufman has spent many years working with children with autism as a school principal in northern New Jersey. She knows the IEPs, the behavioral supports, the family meetings, and the moments when everything clicks for a child who has been struggling. But a few years ago, her understanding of autism became personal in a way she never anticipated, when her grandchild was diagnosed. That experience changed her. Not her expertise, but her perspective. Suddenly she was the grandmother feeling the same mix of love, fear, and uncertainty that she had watched so many families navigate over the years. She was also the grandmother working to support her own daughter. It gave her something that two graduate degrees and decades of administrative experience could not: the view from the other side of the desk. That is the story behind her 2025 book, Grandparenting on the Spectrum: A Journey from Both Sides of the Desk, which speaks directly to grandparents who want to support their families but often don't know how. The book has connected with readers across the country who finally feel that someone understands their specific experience in the autism journey. Jennifer's advocacy work takes several forms. Through her speaking and workshop program, she addresses grandparent groups, family organizations, police departments and universities, focusing on practical tools and emotional honesty. Through her training company, First Response Autism Solutions, LLC, she works with law enforcement agencies, police academies, and campus security teams to prepare first responders for interactions with individuals with autism. Her trainings are grounded in real experience, not theory, and first responders consistently say they leave feeling genuinely prepared in a way that traditional training never provided. Jennifer has appeared on television and across numerous podcast platforms and is a recognized voice in the autism advocacy community.

  Eric Kinkel, musician and Founder of Howl Moon Productions, Executive Producer of the documentary “In Search of His Lost Cords,” which chronicles Eric’s journey after brain trauma as he explores emerging AI and advanced technologies to help restore his voice joins eHealth Radio and the Brain Health & Health News Channels. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Eric Kinkel discuss the following: Your documentary, “In Search of His Lost Cords,” follows your journey after brain trauma left you unable to sing and with limited speech. What exactly happened neurologically, and how did it disrupt the brain’s connection to your voice?Your case raises an interesting question about how the brain translates intention into speech and singing. What have you learned about that brain-to-voice pathway through your journey?After years of working with physicians and rehabilitation specialists with no improvement, you began exploring emerging science and even AI as possible tools to help restore your voice. What kinds of technologies or research are giving you hope?For listeners who may have experienced brain trauma, stroke, or neurological injury affecting speech, what lessons have you learned about persistence, advocacy, and navigating the medical system?Many people assume that if the vocal cords are healthy, the voice should work. Your experience shows that the brain plays the central role. What do you wish more people understood about the neurological side of voice and speech?Your story is deeply personal, but it also raises larger questions about how medicine and technology might work together in the future. What do you hope researchers, neurologists, and the scientific community take away from your journey?Eric Kinkel is an Illinois native, lifelong musician, songwriter, producer, and concert curator whose career spans decades of performance, composition, and community-driven music making. Musically inclined from the age of 12, Kinkel is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist proficient in piano, guitar, and bass, recognized for a deeply personal approach to songwriting rooted in melody, emotion, and storytelling. Five years ago, Kinkel’s life and career were fundamentally altered when deep brain trauma caused the loss of both his speaking and singing voice. After years of consultations with doctors, hospitals, and specialists that failed to provide effective answers or meaningful progress, he was forced to confront the loss of the very instrument that defined his artistic and personal identity. Rather than withdrawing from his life’s work, Kinkel committed himself to understanding his condition and pursuing a path forward grounded in perseverance, clarity, and purpose. That quest is documented in “In Search of His Lost Cords,” a deeply personal documentary executive produced by Kinkel that chronicles his pursuit to reclaim his voice through emerging interventional quantum-based science and advanced AI-driven technologies. Featuring rare archival footage and an intimate interview with Kinkel in his current condition, the film traces his evolution from accomplished performer to resilient seeker of answers, offering a powerful testament to perseverance, innovation, and the enduring human drive to reclaim one’s voice. Throughout the years leading up to his brain trauma, Kinkel built a diverse and respected musical career. He performed as bassist for the band Scepter, recorded radio commercial jingles and a syndicated movie review theme, and developed a distinctive compositional voice that extended beyond traditional rock formats. He later joined the local rock band Lost Nation as lead singer and co-songwriter, solidifying his role as a frontman and lyricist. In 1987, he released his first solo recording, “A Long Time Coming,” a ten-song album featuring eight original compositions, followed by years of live performances at nightclubs, coffee houses, private events, and speaking engagements throughout the Chicago area. His recorded work continued with a digitally remastered CD single released in 1999, featuring “Antique Spirits” and a rendition of the late Michael Peter Smith’s “The Dutchman,” and a deepening commitment to collaboration across folk, rock, acoustic, and Americana genres. Kinkel’s later performance work reflected an increasingly thematic and curated approach to live music, blending artistry with philanthropy. Between 1997 and 2004, he produced and headlined three major benefit concerts in honor of his late sister, Linda Kinkel, who during that time was bedridden due to chronic progressive Multiple Sclerosis. The concerts raised nearly $46,000 for Multiple Sclerosis awareness and support, uniting musicians across genres in a shared cause. In August 2010, he and his band Acoustic Thunder presented the “Inspirations Concert” at the Schaumburg Prairie Center for the Arts, featuring Grammy Award–winning artist Bill Miller and Chicago rock icon Dirty Dan Buck. The concert incorporated audiovisual tributes to Kinkel’s late mother and sister, with a portion of proceeds donated to the National Multiple Sclerosis Foundation. In September 2011, Kinkel produced a solo, three-set theatrical concert titled “Love Songs, Blues Tunes, and Memorable Melodies,” blending acoustic performance with guest appearances by notable Chicago musicians, including Dean Milano, Traci Abel, Patti Prendergast, Salina Norman, John Abel, and Bob Abrams of The Buckinghams. Beginning in 2019, Kinkel entered the studio to complete a final body of recorded work rooted in personal expression rather than genre, resulting in the release of songs including “Watching Clouds,” “We Are Even,” “Goldmoor’s View,” “Tracez,” “Nothing’s Wrong Song,” “Paradise On Earth,” and “Autumnal Way,” now available across major digital platforms. In addition to his philanthropic work, Kinkel is widely recognized for producing and overseeing the creation of a permanent memorial honoring Marion Dorothy Nugent, the late mother of rock musician Ted Nugent. Following a benefit concert held to raise funds for the project, Kinkel successfully produced and erected a four-ton monument that now stands outside the Durty Nellie’s music venue in Palatine, Illinois. Dedicated in 2007, the monument garnered national and international media attention and remains an enduring civic and cultural landmark—one of the projects for which Kinkel is best known within media and music circles. Today, Kinkel’s creative legacy and ongoing search for answers continue through “In Search of His Lost Cords,” which stands not only as a record of his past accomplishments, but as a living document of resilience, scientific exploration, and hope in the face of profound change.
