Back in September of 1990 host and producer David Snow created Doctor Health to help educate the public about the importance of proactively practicing preventative medicine. While not a doctor, David has been in the field of health since the early 1970s. One of his many motto's is “more education equals less medication”; which permeates through the programs content. Another goal he set out to achieve was to bring together the two somewhat adversarial sides of healthcare; the medical establishment and the holistic community.

Your Aging Gut...Now What? with Roland Pankewich

In this episode of Dr. Health Radio, host David Snow tackles “pill fatigue” — the common struggle of taking multiple supplements and prescriptions daily — with naturopathic physician Dr. Chris Terrell. They explain why most gummy vitamins fall short (low potency, high sugar, and the need for dozens of gummies to reach effective doses) and why high-quality liquid nutrients offer superior absorption, convenience, and value. Dr. Terrell highlights the benefits of liquid multivitamins, B-complex for energy, neurological support formulas, joint health products, and clean ingredients free of artificial additives. The conversation also covers nutrient depletion from stress and modern life, healthy aging, and practical tips for kids and seniors.

Plus quick health news on insurance costs, skin cancer checks, exercise for mental health, and more.

Join host David Snow on Dr. Health Radio for a deep dive into the powerful world of your gut microbiome. Pharmacist, clinical nutritionist, and author Dr. Ross Pelton explains how the trillions of bacteria in your gut produce critical postbiotic metabolites that influence every organ system, inflammation levels, aging, and overall health.

Learn the key differences between prebiotics (the foods that feed good bacteria), probiotics (commercial bacterial supplements), and postbiotics (the beneficial compounds produced through fermentation). Dr. Pelton discusses dysbiosis, leaky gut, the impact of diet, antibiotics, stress, sleep, and exercise, and why high-dose probiotics often fall short. He also highlights the unique multi-year fermentation process behind Dr. O’Hara’s probiotics and how postbiotic metabolites can help reset the microbiome.

Plus, David covers artificial sweeteners and gut health, microplastics research, AI’s effect on the brain, vitamin K benefits, resistance training for flexibility, and more practical wellness tips.
