Cardiologist and researcher into preventative ways to protect against cardiovascular problems Joseph Keenan, MD, to join host Randy Rolfe on Family First on VoiceAmerica's Radio Network this week.

West Chester PA – The Institute for Creative Solutions, Randy Rolfe President, announced today that Joseph Keenan, MD, cardiology researcher and investigator of plant alternatives to medications for cardio problems and for prevention, will join Randy Rolfe, host of the Family First radio program on the VoiceAmerica Health & Wellness Channel   (http://www.voiceamericahealth.com), this Friday, November 2, 2012, at 1 pm Pacific Time, 4 pm ET.

Today people are still dying of cardiovascular problems after almost a century of research. Predictors include elevated blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides, so pharmaceutical companies have developed chemicals to lower these numbers, but we are learning more and more about unwanted side effects to these drugs, most recently impaired memory in some patients who are taking statins to lower cholesterol. Plus the long term studies leave some doubt whether artificially lowering cholesterol actually is as preventative as had been hoped. But there are natural ways to reduce these predictors and these have only good side effects.

Host Randy Rolfe's guest this week on Family First knows a great deal about these natural strategies. Dr. Joseph Keenan, M.D., will discuss preventative cardiac research relating to nutrition and food and ways that we can improve our family's health with some simple dietary and lifestyle changes.
