Pet Obesity
Animal welfare includes a slew of things to do and not do. Maura Davies with the SPCA has been our long time Friday guest. She gives us practical tips and good information on all things animals. Today we talk with her about how obesity in pets can end up in a shorter lifespan. Pets already have shorter lifespans so we have to give them their best lives while we can. That includes walks, good food and treats, and lots and lots of love. Pet obesity ultimately comes down to diet and lifestyle. Pets need exercise, whether it's walks or throwing the ball in the backyard, they need some sort of activity. They also need good food and not human food. Also the right amount of food is super important. Listen in to hear some good animal health and welfare information.
Artificial Intelligence

Darshan Goswami has over 40 years of experience in the energy field and he is a founder and supporter of the India Foundation for Children Education and Care, Inc. Today we talk about artificial intelligence. AI is quickly infiltrating our world in many aspects. Do we really know what AI is capable of? Darshan explains all the ways that AI is being used and what it's potential is in the future. As well we talk about some of the "what if" scenarios that many of us fear.
Parkinson's Disease
Faye Elahi was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease 8 years ago. Her health journey is so inspiring and today she opens up about the disease and her life after the diagnosis. She joined us a few weeks back on this episode with her daughter, and she talked about an amazing discovery she had made with her medication. There was a flaw with the performance of her medication when she would eat red meat. Once she realized it, her medication works wonders and she is able to live a normal life. Today we talk with Faye about diet and lifestyle when living with Parkinson's disease. She also goes into the stages of Parkinson's, what to do first if you are diagnosed, and some of her life lessons since being diagnosed.
