Currently there are a wide variety of different tools that are used to scan the body. What once was up to doctors to find out through other means of testing is now available for them to actually see. Patients are also becoming more involved with their care and able to better understand it by being able to see visual representations of what is going on in the body. Join hosts Jordan Grahm and Dr. Ray as we go over different methods of scanning the body including X-Ray, MRI, CT Scan, and Ultrasound.

Times tends to detail more preventative fitness & nutritional ideas then its counterpart The New York Times where it displays more surgery, medicine, & scientific breakthroughs.

Jessica Limpert & Ramon Medeiros are celebrity trainers at The Biggest Loser Resort. They help change people’s lives every single day. But before their training careers began...Jessica’s & Ramon’s lives were changed when they became contestants on The Biggest Loser Season 12! As a contestant Ramon weighed 355 pounds & struggled with weight his whole life. He was 190 pounds in high school by being active in football, baseball & wrestling but as time moved on, eventually he came to the realization he was going to have to do something about his weight. Ramon was inspired by past seasons "Biggest Loser" contestants Sione Fa, Sam Poueu & Koli Palu. He lost a staggering 154 lbs! & narrowly missed the biggest loser crown finishing in the top 3! As a contestant on season 12 of The Biggest Loser, Jessica Limpert lost 80 pounds & came to encompass a new career all together. Jessica was a registered nurse, & now has shifted all of her work time & devotion to being one of the most amazing life changing trainers today!

Jennifer Rumple was the "at home" winner on The Biggest Loser Season 12. Often, the winner of this prize goes to contestants that were at the ranch the maximum amount of time or near that. Jennifer Rumple won the "at home" finale after only being at the ranch for 6 weeks. Despite having a knee injury, Jennifer lost an impressive 60 pounds during those six weeks at the ranch. Regardless of being voted off, Jennifer apparently was able to overcome her injury & went on to amazingly lose another 85 pounds. Her final loss percentage was 43.94%, more than one of the finalists. She now has lost a total of 180 lbs!!!

Sione Fa, one of the contestants from the Season 7 of "The Biggest Loser," had seen his weight bounce up and down most of his life. He's tried every diet out there, which always caused him to gain the weight back -- and then some. As the owner of his own company, it was the long hours at work that kept him from eating right and exercising, and caused his weight to balloon to a staggering 372 pounds. But when he realized he never wanted to be a fat dad, and wanted to prevent his children from ending up the same way, he did something about it and lost over 130 pounds. For Sione, it wasn't just a matter of shedding pounds, but also a chance to beat the odds his Tongan genetics had dealt him. According to statistics, over 60 percent of Tongans are obese (with some sources claiming even higher obesity stats -- as high as 90 percent). Determined to be at the 'lighter' end of that ratio, here's how Sione managed to strip away over 130 pounds of fat, proving that it's what you do, not what you're born with, that matters when it comes to weight loss.

Jeff Metcalf is the owner of Progressive Fitness he specializes in treating soft tissue injuries with Active Release techniques & deep tissue therapy. Jeff has integrated different massage styles along with ART. ART is a new method of quickly, effectively & accurately diagnosing isolating soft tissue pathology in asymptomatic & symptomatic presentations. Every ART session is actually a combination of examination & treatment. The ART provider uses his or her hands to evaluate the texture, tightness & movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments & nerves. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements. These treatment protocols - over 500 specific moves - are unique to ART. They allow providers to identify and correct the specific problems that are affecting each individual patient. ART is not a cookie-cutter approach. Join us & Jeff Metcalf as we discuss The ART Of Massage. JeffreyLeeMetcalf@yahoo.com
