Wellness Wednesday: Herbal Therapy, Drug Take-Back, No Sugar Year

11:00

Anyone who gave up sweets for Lent knows how tough it can be to forego sugar for a month. But how about for a whole year? We'll talk to an author whose family did just that, and lived to write about it. We'll also look at the new Chinese Herbal Medicine program at the Cleveland Clinic, and learn why old pills in a cabinet are a major public health hazard.

Guests

• Galina Roofener, herbalist and acupuncturist at the Cleveland Clinic
• Christy Beeghly, Ohio Department of Health’s Injury Prevention Program Administrator
• Jeff Bertacchi, Pre-treatment Program Manager at Columbus Sewerage and Drainage
• Eve Schaub, author of The Year of No Sugar
