The breakfastclub

On this episode Dr. Kevin Hensel of Memorial Health in Marysville joins the Breakfast Club to mark American Heart Health Month, reviewing major heart risks—visceral fat and waist size, high blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, smoking—and how they differ for men and women. He shares practical advice: aim for about 7,000 steps/day, follow a Mediterranean/DASH-style diet (more vegetables, lean protein, legumes, berries), consider statins like rosuvastatin when appropriate, and use two combined approaches to quit smoking. Small, sustainable changes—start with quitting smoking or improving diet—offer the biggest payoff.

She casts a spell on the Breakfast Club as practicing witch and creatrix Melissa Herzog of Yellow Springs discusses magick, Samhain, ancestor rituals, and how her yoga teaching is informed by nature-based spirituality. She shares simple practices like candle lighting and honoring ancestors, explains the Wheel of the Year, dispels myths about witchcraft, and points listeners to houseofaum.com for more information.  

Mark Bingaman and Sherry Fisher talk with Tammy Egleton of Cuyahoga Falls. She recounts her breast cancer journey after standard 2D and 3D mammograms and an ultrasound failed to detect a tumor due to dense breast tissue. She paid for a fast MRI that revealed an advanced-stage cancer which required surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Tammy now supports House Bill 371 to require annual screening coverage, include 3D mammograms, allow supplemental imaging like ultrasound and MRI for those with dense breasts, and improve the clarity of dense-breast notices. She urges everyone to be their own advocate and listen to their bodies.
