Prevention Not Prescriptions: Tuesday, March 30

Welcome back to Prevention Not Prescriptions Tuesday. This is a weekly forum where we’re coming together to inform and inspire each other to healthier living.  Tuesdays are our chance to take our health into our own hands and say “hell no” to more pills and the pharmaceutical industry’s endless search for profits.


Get your fit on

Time is on your side

One of the questions I get the most is, "How long did it take you to get in shape?" I get this about once a week. They look at me and try to access whether this is a do-able task for them and whether they should start penciling in their workouts. When I tell them "years", I see that mini eye-roll, body-sag and the look of "forget it." But when I tell them, I've been maintaining my fitness for a while and that my real transformation took about 6 months, they begin to perk up. And when I tell them I trained for my first competition before my baby was two and took 2nd, they are intrigued...read more.

Affair-proof your marriage

Make your appointment with Dr. Michelle Gannon

Posted by Cari @ The Kathleen Show

With a mind-blowing 44% of men and 25% of women having extra-marital affairs, it takes true dedication to not become another statistic. That’s where marriage counseling can help. 

Couples therapist Dr. Michelle Gannon flew all the way across the country to be in the studio with Kathleen and give our listeners a free counseling session. 

So get out a pen and paper because whether you’re happily married or have seen better days, Dr. Gannon shares practical information on how to handle the stickier situations in marriage.  And we hope that you don’t have to use this advice, but she also addresses how couples can recover (and even grow) from the ultimate heart breaker—infidelity. 

Listen to Dr. Gannon’s interview:

Listen to Kathleen’s monologue and find out why she’s a huge fan (and user!) of couples counseling:

Lies at the altar

The truth about great marriages
 

 

"Until death do us part"...As long as I'm not sick to death of you, as long as you turn me on, as long as you're able to keep your figure, as long as you keep your hair, as long as you make me feel all mushy inside, as long as someone better doesn't come along.

Sound familiar?

Dr. Robin Smith, one of the top relationship experts in the country and best-selling author of Lies At The Altar: The Truth About Great Marriages, shares the secret for achieving wedded bliss whether you’re 3 months in or 30 years in. She explains why the key to a good and lasting marriage is showing up like a like a grown-up (ouch!) as well as being brutally honest with yourself about who you and your partner really are.

And if you’re getting ready to take the plunge, make sure that the wedding doesn’t get in the way of your marriage.  Dr. Robin has some strongly-worded wisdom about the ‘big day’ so that you don't trade one glorious party for years of bitter struggle.

Tune in and you'll understand why I hand out copies of Lies at the Altar to anyone even thinking of uttering "I Do".
