The World Health Organization (WHO) tells us that herd immunity is the indirect protection from an infectious disease that happens when a population is largely immune, preferably through vaccinations but also through previous infection.You see, vaccines train our immune systems to create proteins that fight disease, known as antibodies, just as would happen when we are exposed to a disease. But – crucially – vaccines create immunity without causing illness or resulting complications. Vaccinated people are protected from getting the disease and passing on the pathogen, breaking any chains of transmission. Dr. Ben Stong visits with Mark Alyn on this edition of Late Night Health.

April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month, which provides a critically important reminder that each year 60,000 people are newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and more than one million Americans are currently living with the neurodegenerative disease. That’s why the non-profit Parkinson’s Foundation is working to make life better for people with Parkinson’s disease by improving care and advancing research toward a cure. Studies show that three out of four people with Parkinson’s do not receive medications on time when staying in the hospital, and that when this occurs two out of three will experience unnecessary complications. In response to this problem, the Parkinson’s Foundation has created the Aware in Care kit to help the 1/3 of people with Parkinson’s receive hospital care each year. The Aware in Care kit helps those affected by PD to be “aware in care”, which means they understand hospitalization risks, have the tools to play an active role in their care, are prepared for planned or unplanned hospital

I’m a number one best-selling author, captivating speaker and hope-restoring coach to women like you who want to do good work in the world, but believe they deserve to earn damn good money doing it. And if you didn’t feel that way before half a second ago, then I assure you, you’re in the right place! This philosophy is what has really set me apart from other “financial experts” over the last decade. I recognize that I drive some of the personal finance gurus crazy and I’m 100% okay with that. I will never apologize for teaching women that living a disciplined, yet fulfilled life and expecting opportunities to overtake you at every turn is way freakin’ better than forcing yourself to live a Starbucks-free life of deprivation so you can “save for a rainy day.” Despite the naysayers, there are tons of folks who have been attracted to my fresh take on this money stuff.Patrice Washington visits with Mark Alyn on this episode of Late Night Health.

A Healing Journey by Marci Hopkins, Host and Creator of Wake Up with Marci, A talk show of inspirationKnowing when you are starting to go down the slippery slope of alcoholism can be hard to acknowledge. Asking yourself if you are drinking too much. Watching how others drink so you can compare, which can be tricky because if you are drinking a lot, then you are probably surrounding yourself with others that drink the same, or more, so you don’t fee bad about yourself.I had always used alcohol to cope with difficult times. I drank daily, but that did not seem strange to me, because I was raised that way. When I got in front of the camera, my drinking slowly started earlier in the day. It was my liquid courage to walk into the audition room. It didn’t start that way but I was so nervous I thought I’d try it. I mean, why not? It always made me feel better. Marci joins Mark Alyn for this life changing chat.

Sarah Vie shares her thoughts with us. I am passionate about children. I have always felt the innocence of their spirited and loving souls; their ability to be present with not a care in the world. From the first breath children inhale, they are pureness and light. There is a sense of authentic joy, peace and love within their life force energy. I saw this light in other children, when I was young, but I never experienced or felt it for myself. The innocence and childlike play that escaped my life, allowed me to follow my passion. What makes children not believe in who they are and not love themselves unconditionally, as they grow into adulthood? This has always fascinated me as I was one of those children that only now has healed her inner scar.Sarah visits with Mark Alyn on this edition of Late Night Health.
