    The Rockefeller Influence on Medicine
    May 7 2026
    On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…

    Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), shares a holistic perspective on health news today. Dr. Jack starts with a history lesson of how the medical world of today came to be the way it is, including how medical schools came to be and how they were funded at the beginning , as well as the Rockefeller influence on how medical schools began to be funded by pharmaceutical companies, and the curriculum began to change.

    Back to the Rockefeller influence, the Rockefeller family fundamentally shaped modern Western medicine in the early 20th century by funding allopathic (pharmaceutical-based) medicine while sidelining holistic practices. Through massive philanthropic investments, the Rockefeller Foundation and Institute for Medical Research established standardized, laboratory-based research, creating the framework for modern "Big Pharma" and specialized medical education.

    Dr. Jack’s job as a NUCCA Chiropractor is to remove torsion and tension on the brain stem, where it exits the skull and turns into the spinal cord. If you’re unfamiliar with what NUCCA chiropractic (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association) means, it is is a gentle, precise, non-invasive technique focusing on correcting the alignment between the head and neck (the atlas vertebra). It uses specialized x-rays to measure and correct spinal imbalances without any twisting, cracking, or popping, aiming to restore nervous system function and improve overall health Now, that’s only half of Dr. Jack’s job. The other half is to take care of his patients’ overall physiology. Whether it’s the nervous system, digestion, elimination, the immune system, the skeletal system, the cardiovascular system, and whatever else.

    Lastly, Doug joins Dr. Jack for a conversation addressing listener questions. Included is a focus on what we’ve learned from the Artemis astronauts, medically speaking. The Artemis astronauts provide critical data on deep-space health effects, revealing that, unlike low-Earth orbit, deep space increases risks from higher radiation and intense fluid shifts. Key findings include significant, rapid bone marrow changes, cardiovascular adaptation to microgravity (fluid shift to the head), increased vestibular disorientation upon reentry, and immune system weakening, which helps develop countermeasures for future Mars missions.

    All this and more in this episode of Good Day Health.

  • GERD, Gluten Intolerence, and Weight-Loss Drugs

    GERD, Gluten Intolerence, and Weight-Loss Drugs
    May 5 2026
    On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…

    Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with weight-loss drugs showing side benefits in the case of the epidemic of obesity also being linked to a rise in cancer cases. With these weight-loss drugs bringing obesity in patients down, it shows promise against certain cancers, especially breast cancer. This is good news. In other good news, there is a breakthrough in AI leading to capabilities of cancer treatments as well as antibiotic resistant infections.

    Shifting focus to GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), there is a breakthrough with recent focus on novel, non-PPI medications and minimally invasive device therapies for treatment-refractory cases. Key advancements include Potassium-Competitive Acid Blockers (PCABs) like Vonoprazan, the magnetic LINX system to strengthen the esophagus, and new anti-pepsin treatments.

    Continuing on, Doug and Dr. Ken address a common misconception that gluten intolerance causes GERD. The reality is more of an association as opposed to cause and effect. People who have a gluten intolerance often also have GERD. People who have GERD likely have a gluten intolerance. They are located commonly in the same patients, but it doesn’t mean one caused the other.

    Next up, a focus on food coloring that comes from natural sources, specifically blue food coloring now coming from gardenia as opposed to the horrible dyes that tend to cause poor health and other conditions. This comes under Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s inspiration. Other things Kennedy is doing that is helping the American population is a focus on safe vaccines, as well as a CDC notification of COVID-19 now following a twice a year peak season.

    Lastly, Doug and Dr. Ken address listener questions, starting with semaglutide and other weight loss drugs, which originated as diabetes drugs, are showing to provide better limp protection than other diabetes drugs when it comes to diabetes effect on limbs and a common complication of patients needing amputation of affected limbs. Additionally, a conversation over the COVID-19 vaccine. All this and more on this episode of Good Day Health.

  • Pharmaceuticals and Cancer

    Pharmaceuticals and Cancer
    Apr 30 2026
    On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…

    Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), shares a holistic perspective on health news today. A primary focus is the current state of the medical world with a mindset of pharmaceuticals for anything and everything, as opposed to treating the illness with a preventative mindset.

    Dr. Jack looks at cancer as an example, with a thought that, perhaps, we’re looking in the wrong place for curing cancer. Cancer is a mega-business. According to Dr. Jack, more people are making their living off of cancer than there are cancer patients. More people are paying off their mortgage, car loans, student loans, their children's’ student loans from the cancer business than there are people actually suffering from cancer.

    When our body is on too many medications, it relies on those medications instead of relying on our immune systems. The focus on improving our immune system has been less in the focus as treating illness. The body constantly generates abnormal or damaged cells that have the potential to become cancer, but the immune system (especially T cells and natural killer cells) typically acts as a quality control mechanism to destroy them. This process, often called "immune surveillance," prevents these cells from growing into tumors. Being overmedicated hinders your body’s natural ability to fight.

    Then, Doug joins Dr. Jack to address listener questions, starting with the “grass-fed edge.” Grass-fed beef provides a significant nutritional edge over conventional, grain-fed beef due to its superior fatty acid profile, higher antioxidant levels, and lower overall fat content. Cattle that eat only grass and forage (grass-finished) produce meat that acts as a cleaner, more nutrient-dense protein source, offering benefits for heart health, weight management, and reduced inflammation.

  • Cancer Screenings, Hearing Aids, Vitamin D and B12: What to Know

    Cancer Screenings, Hearing Aids, Vitamin D and B12: What to Know
    Apr 28 2026
    On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…

    Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with drug companies and their pricing for medications, with most companies being headquartered hear in the US, yet Americans are charged far more for the same drugs as other countries.

    Next up, the FDA’s approval for the first at-home cervical cancer screening, a bar code scanner helps consumers know what’s really in their food and cosmetics, and how cinnamon might help our bodies absorb medication.

    When it comes to hearing aids, there is a problem with people getting older and experiencing loneliness, occurring mostly because they can’t hear well enough to maintain essential, social connections. It appears to be a real problem with hearing aids countering an epidemic of loneliness among senior citizens. So, why do so many people, who are hard of hearing, refuse the help of modern hearing aids?

    In unfortunate medical news, there is a rise in adult patients becoming addicted to opioids with a new study confirming the drug use. The number of Americans using illicit opioids is 20x higher than previously estimated, with 11% of American adults report illicit opioid use within the last 12 months.

    Doug and Dr. Ken continue on with addressing listener questions, including supplements like Vitamin D and B12, addressing why the focus on these two supplements over any others. Vitamin D and B12 are essential for energy metabolism, immune system strengthening, and neurological health. They work together to improve gut health, with B12 supporting stomach acid production and D3 balancing the microbiome. Key benefits include improved cognitive function, bone health, nerve protection, and reduced fatigue, with combined supplementation often improving balance.

  • The Truth Behind Free Clinics

    The Truth Behind Free Clinics
    Apr 24 2026
    On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…

    Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), shares a holistic perspective on one of the biggest topics in health today: “free” health screenings. While these screenings may seem beneficial, many can lead to costly follow-up tests, unnecessary treatments, and increased anxiety—often driven by false positives or overdiagnosis. In some cases, they serve as a gateway to generate revenue for healthcare providers, insurers, or pharmaceutical companies.

    Dr. Jack explains that while early detection can be helpful when legitimate issues are found, it’s becoming harder to distinguish between genuine care and profit-driven practices. He also highlights how billing loopholes—even under laws like the Affordable Care Act—can leave patients with unexpected expenses, and warns that some screenings may even be scams aimed at collecting insurance information.

    The takeaway: be cautious, verify providers, and consult your primary doctor before pursuing additional testing.

    Then, Doug joins Dr. Jack to address listener questions. The primary focus consists of keeping your mind healthy to help the longevity of life. Physical and cognitive decline can coincide, but those who have a positive mindset to aging can have a better chance at “growing old” with minimal decline, as opposed to those who focus on getting old and the downsides of aging can then cause more rapid deterioration. It’s the indisputable mind-body connection.

  • The Truth About Cholesterol

    The Truth About Cholesterol
    Apr 21 2026
    On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…

    Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with good news that the American survival rate for ALL cancers has reached 5 years. In large part, this is because we’re doing better at early diagnosis, we have diagnostic tools we never had before, and there is more of a focus on immune therapy in treating cancers to prevent cancer from progressing/spreading or returning.

    Moving on, the conversation shifts to GLP-1s and their effect on diabetes as well as overall weight loss with the help of suppressing appetite. The movement on these medications are progressing from shots to oral pills. While not currently as effective as the shots, the pill form is a good choice for those adverse to injections.

    When it comes to cholesterol, the numbers per individual have changed over the years with many thinking one set of numbers is considered “good,” when it could be the wrong numbers for that specific person. When it comes to cardiovascular prevention, patients should work with medical professionals who are specialists with cholesterol to determine what their numbers should be.

    Additionally, how cholesterol numbers affect the heart and why some people look like they are incredibly fit, yet have dangerously high cholesterol.

    Dr. Ken goes on to say some general guidelines of what he wants a patients LDL to be based on other elevations happening in your body, based on the amount of plaque he sees in coronaries, and even Lipoprotein(a) reference range. For better understanding, Lipoprotein(a) is a genetically determined, cholesterol-carrying particle in the blood that, when elevated, significantly increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and aortic stenosis. Primarily inherited, high levels are not typically affected by diet or exercise, causing plaque, inflammation, and blood clots.

    Rounding out the conversation, Doug and Dr. Ken address listener questions. Included in the discussion are questions about exercise, specifically how working out can improve neurological conditions like depression. Another question addresses the new food pyramid, how it’s upside down and sifting through the confusion of the change up.

  • What Does Iodine Do?

    What Does Iodine Do?
    Apr 17 2026
    On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…

    Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), covers the the biggest news in the health and wellness space from a holistic, naturopath perspective. In this episode, Dr. Jack begins with the body’s need for iodine and why it seems to have dropped off the medical radar in recent decades. The iodine’s role plays into a healthy thyroid gland. So, why are we depriving ourselves of iodine?

    Additionally, Iodine is critical during pregnancy for producing maternal thyroid hormones that directly regulate fetal brain development, neurogenesis, and myelination. Severe deficiency can cause permanent, irreversible intellectual disabilities and a reduction in child IQ by 8 to 10 points. Even mild-to-moderate deficiency can impair a child’s cognitive function, language development, and fine motor skills

    Here are the key impacts on fetal brain development:
    • Essential Thyroid Function: Iodine is a key component of thyroid hormones. In the first trimester, the fetus relies entirely on maternal thyroid hormones, which require sufficient iodine.
    • Brain Structure Development: Proper iodine levels are essential for neurogenesis (creation of neurons), neural migration, and myelination (insulation of nerve fibers).
    • Irreversible Deficits: Severe iodine deficiency is the leading cause of preventable intellectual disability worldwide. It can lead to cretinism, characterized by severe intellectual impairment and neurological damage.
    • Cognitive and Motor Skills: Mild to moderate deficiencies have been linked to lower IQ, reduced verbal skills, and lower overall cognitive scores in children.

    Some important considerations:
    • Increased Demand: Iodine requirements increase during pregnancy due to higher production of thyroid hormones and transfer to the fetus.
    • Optimal Range: While deficiency is harmful, excessive iodine intake can also cause health issues.
    • Prevention: Ensuring adequate iodine intake through iodized salt or prenatal supplements, especially in deficient areas, is key to preventing these developmental issues.

  • What To Know About Cholesterol

    What To Know About Cholesterol
    Apr 14 2026
    On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…

    Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with a deep dive into cholesterol, exploring the evolving science behind how it impacts not just cardiovascular health, but cognitive function as well. Doug and Dr. Ken discuss emerging research suggesting that so-called “bad” cholesterol may play a more complex role in the body than previously thought, including its potential connection to protecting against Dementia. They unpack what this means (and what it doesn’t), helping listeners separate headlines from reality.

    From there, the duo clarifies the critical differences between LDL and HDL cholesterol, what each type does in the body, why balance matters, and how these markers are used to assess overall health risk. Dr. Ken shares practical, real-world guidance on how to properly monitor your cholesterol levels, including which numbers to pay attention to, how often to test, and how to work collaboratively with your primary care provider to stay ahead of potential issues.

    As always, Doug brings thoughtful questions and a relatable perspective, while Dr. Ken delivers clear, actionable insights grounded in decades of clinical experience. Whether you’re managing your cholesterol, curious about the latest research, or simply looking to take a more proactive approach to your long-term health, this episode offers valuable information you won’t want to miss.

    Lastly, Doug and Dr. Ken address listener questions, including physical changes in the body as it ages, how stress levels affect our bodies and mind, and bringing overall health to the body and mind collectively.
