Joe heck says he deserves it. Welcome back. Losing weight is far from easy. And many times once unwanted pounds are lost it just so happens, theyre found again. Our next guest says you can lose three to seven pounds. Back again is dr. Kathleen nash. Good morning to you both. Good morning. Good to see you. Five to seven pounds, what there we go. Fair enough. Either way its amazing results that youre getting. Yes. We always start off by saying you started off as a chiropractor, but you have found this amazing formula for weight loss. Unbelievably amazing because when i tried to lose weight i was fat since i was eight. I was always told i had to starve myself and i had to work out an incredible amount to make it and every time i did it it would come right back on. And i ended up dieting to my top weight, which is that one right there, size 20 to 22, thousand 30 pounds. This is with working out. I was still at that point working out two to five times a week. I was working out then. Its a struggle. Its when youre not happy with your weight, its all its like really probably every other thought i. When youre thinking youre doing everything youre supposed to do, youre eating the right foods, and thats what i hear from my client, im doing all the right things but my body wont change. Its because the metabolic damage is in the body and you dont know, its always going to be difficult and its always going to be temporary. And thats why 95 of us gain it back within a one year time period. We want to cut that down. Lets talk about metabolic factors. The five metabolic factors, if the body is too toxin, were eating too much but were not getting enough nutrition from the food so the body keeps making us hungry. The longer were at any weight were at, we retrain the hypothalamus that the number were sitting at is the goal weight. If the body is too acidic its going to grave all of the crap get away from and that makes you gain the weight back. And there are eight different hormones that are low or imbalanced, if theyre not imbalanced properly you cant lose it to begin with. Were learning that total is an acronym. That took you a while. I saw you nodding over there while dr. As tell us about your experience. You went through her program. I started about six months ago, and the first 30 days i lost 30 pounds. No way. Awesome. In a day. 11 pounds around my mid section, up to now i lost 70 pounds. Wow. Look at that. Oh, my gosh. No kidding, legit. Look at you in that gym getting it done. Oh, thats so exciting. How long were you trying to get rid of all that fat beforehand . Years. Like dr. Nash said, im in the gym five, six days a week and nothing changes. And people say its calories in, calories out. And its not always that. No, its not. Whats been the key for you . The program. Okay. So a combination of the five factors she just talked about . Right. The gym part was easy. Thats the icing on the cake. But the thing for me was the actual program, getting in and doing what she told i think the one thing that when people see stuff where its like hey, you can lose weight, people think im going to hate this whole process. Its going to be im going to be starving, miserable. Were you starving and miserable . No, not at all. It was easy. You were see can results . Yes. Usually what well hear when people decide they want to find out if i can help them, i have to have an evaluation with you i cant do it over the phone. I really need to sit with you and figure out whats been stopping you. But when we start applying the factors that are stopping you from getting to where you want to be, we incorporate it in your lifestyle, so derrick liked working out so we kept that in for him. Not everybody does. Nor do they have to. They dont have to. So now he was able to work out just as hard as he always did but he wasnt hungry and wasnt craving and he was getting what he wanted, which was seeing results from his hard effort in the nothing is more frustrating than working so hard and seeing little change. What has been the best part of the transformation . Im really happy for you, i am. When you see somebody who is able to make a change i feel it i feel good in my skin. Its been so long since i was able to actually be comfortable being me. Beyond happy for you. I know there is a special offer evaluation. Tell us about it. I have to actually sit with you personally to see if i can help you because not everybody has these issues. Normally its a 50 fee. If they mention they saw it on the Morning Blend ill reduce it to 19 evaluation. Fantastic. Congratulations. That is so cool. Im proud of you. Its great having you. Thanks for helping people achieve their goals. Like dr. Nash mentioned, dont forget if you say you saw it on the Morning Blend your standard consultation fee will be only 19. Its usually 50. Dr. Nashs office is located on Horizon Ridge parkway. For more information give her office a call or visit her website. I need to see the shirtless pic after. Next time. Stick with us. More to come on the blend in just minutes. Its no secret i absolutely love my dogs. If youre like plea you want the best for your pet. Ville verde is here to give your animal first class care. Here is dr. Jonathon snead, owner of valle verde Animal Hospital. Weve had you on before. What sets you aside from all the other practices in town . Well, valle verde we believe in boutique style Animal Hospital. We provide the best amount of care at the lowest cost and lowest volume. When you come in you spend as much time with the doctor as you answered. When you leave you are guaranteed that you understand whats going on before you leave that hospital. So we just love the client education. We love giving back to the community. Thats what makes us different. Thats awesome. I appreciate that, because ive been into some larger you get one different person at the desk, one person walks you back to the room, then you see two people in the room, and i am so protective of my pet oneonone communication. And thats what we pride ourselves on. Not only that, but being there for the life of the pet. Not going and seeing a different doctor, not having your doctor move to a different state. Each time you go in, youre going to see the same person. Youre going to see the same veterinarian. That means a lot to us. What are your specialties or for take in medicine . For me in medicine i love surgery. I laugh because i love surgery. I love surgery. We can go in there and fix i love internal medicine, but surgery is my one love. We do see exotics, as well. Me, im a big exotics person. I love snakes. I love bearded dragons. Those are my two favorites. But we love we love exotics, and surgery is my number one specialty. Wow, i i didnt know you had exotic animals come in. People bring in their snakes for a check up . And they say . It can be different things. They can have some of the same problems we would have. If you see rats, they can bite the snake and cause abscesses. No way. So while theyre trying to constrict, bite them on their belly, boom. They got an abscess. That is unique indigestion. Yup. Thats a. S. What other kind of exotic animals have you had . We had argentina iguana. One time i saw a beta fish. What was wrong with the fish . The fish was actually sick. It wasnt eating for two weeks. Just come to find out the water temperature was too low. Comes down to exotics. Thats why its so important for us to have communication, because exotics are about how you take care of them at home, the right heat source, humidity. Were trying to create an artificial environment for these guys that they dont normally live on. Go back to the fake ones. They always die. They do. They require a very specific environment. Yes, maam. This is so interesting. You said you love surgery. I know there has been a lot of advances in veterinary surgery in the last ten years. What is exciting that you couldnt have done a decade or two ago . Honestly, for me one of the best things that ive seen and that weve had the opportunity and removing foreign bodies without having to cut the belly. Youre going in with a scope, you see everything, you grab it, pull it out. Its like a video game. You go in there and really complicated game. Exactly. You say that jokingly but when they eat certain things its hard to grip it and grab it and it will slide off. But thats why its so important to make sure that they arent eating legos. Can we talk about the craziest an animals stomach . Oh, no. Yeah. So there was a kitty that had swallowed a sexual i knew it. Device. And it blocked up the intestinal track so we had to remove it. Do you have something a little more pg to tell us . Yes. The next thing is underwear. The interesting thing when we took the underwear out and wasnt the right size. No. No needless to say we had the police there and everything like that. No kidding. It was a little extreme. There is a great special going on there. Yes. We have the 149 dental special, which includes blood work, and includes the physical exam, the anesthesia, also includes the we also are offering the free exams for Second Opinions. Awesome.

For the next few weeks students are learning something many adults havent answered. Here to tell us is michelle jackson, president of Junior Achievement of southern nevada. Good morning, michelle. We are very excited by this idea. Tell us about your Junior Achievement and your mission. We focus on teaching students in three critical areas, in our opinion, and that is how to be smart with their money and credit, how to be ready to join the workforce and how to think like Business People or entrepreneurs. And finance park is one of over 20 programs that we offer. And we use this program to reach eighth graders by allowing them to become an adult for the day. Is given to them. Its all randomly assigned. And the students come in with 1t theyve had in the classroom and get to implement it in a real life scenario. So the life scenario that theyre given is random. They dont get to choose. They find out how old they are, if they are married, if they are kids, how much money they make, what education they have to they have and they have to take that and build a one month balanced budget over 24 categories that. Brilliant. Generally here is how we learn about finances. We go out of school, make vicious mistakes, and we learn maybe not to make those mistakes. Were trying to stop the mistakes from happening in the first place. How do you select the schools to take part . Junior achievement has schools with he work with on a regular basis in a feeder many of the schools that were in have high, free and reduced lunch rates, which means the kids are coming from areas of our community that are a little less privileged. We work with private school, as well. But primarily we are just trying to fill up the days that we have so that we can reach as many kids as possible while were open. Its such a neat idea to give kids a hands on practical experience. Its one thing to sit there and read it in a book, right . Paper and say this is you, go for it. Its not a solving for x thing. This is solving for this person and their specific situation. Yes. Makes it more real. And what ends up happening the students have their own budget in their life scenario that theyre managing, but theyre at a table with other kids that have different life scenarios, so you have one student that only graduated from another making 100,000 and theyre single, and they can get the porshe. Notice the 100,000 theyre never driving the corolla, perhaps. No. We understand you would like to grow the program. And also that people can actually come down and be part of the we need 15 to 20 every day. The finance park is open. We open on october 12th. Every day that kids are in clark county schools we have children in the park. So we have a lot of individuals that come volunteer their time. We have company that will adopt a day at finance park and their whole team comes down. And its such an easy ask for volunteering, because you show up that morning about an hour before the students arrive. We train you, which is really you got your group of six to eight eighth graders that youre going to hang out with for the next four hours, and youre going through the life scenario with them, helping them build their budget, asking the important questions like hey, did you learn child care costs this much . Im learning it costs a lot. I bet your volunteers are like this is a good reminder. Yes. Exactly. We actually have a surprise for you. We have a gentleman who very much. The general manager, tom porter. Good morning, michelle. Always great to see you. Whats we have cardboard, on behalf of the Scripps Foundation we would like to kick in 1,500. Wow. For Junior Achievement. Oh, my gosh. This is amazing. Thank you. You need funding to continue the program. Definitely. Thank you so much. You obviously are the money guy here at channel 13. You learned a thing or two about balancing a budget. What makes you gravitate towards Junior Achievement . I have two teenagers and im fortunate to be able to talk to them about money a lot. And i think everybody should have that opportunity. I think were blessed to have people in our Community Like Junior Achievement that invest in making finance. And i think everybody should have that opportunity. Im glad that the foundation helped. So were glad that we can be here for you. Thank you very much. And what does this mean for you, this money . You know, it costs Junior Achievement about 50 per student to go through finance park. That includes a curriculum, transportation, getting the kids down to the park, feeding our volunteers while theyre there. Students. 300. You tell me. There we go. Okay. I think shawn and i need to come down. Thank you so much. Thank you for joining us. Glad to be here. Thanks, michelle. Capital one and Junior Achievement finance park runs through d its from 9 00 a. M. To 2 00 p. M. To find out more about it and the great work the organization does, just head to the website or call the number on your screen. Again, thank you to the howard welcome back to the blend. Yes, the magical time of year, the medicare annual open Enrollment Period began over the weekend. From now until december 7th is the time for seniors to make needed changes to their plan. Southwest medical have numerous facilities in las vegas and want to make sure that their senior patients are up to date on all the options available to them. Here to remind us what open Enrollment Period about, the medical director medical. Great having you. My pleasure. Every year around this time. Its open enrollment. Explain what open enrollment is and why its so crucial for seniors. Its really important for seniors to understand this. The open enrollment is an annual period where patients can make a choice to select their primary care doctors and to select the medicare or make changes to their existing Medicare Advantage plan for the year. Youre not able to do this in march or april. We hear the words star rating. Oh, yes. Year in and year out. What are star ratings and what do they mean . This is really big for us. Medicare uses the star rating from the scale of one to five. Five being the highest that you can get overall. And the plans are rated based on the the metrics and how they perform, such as customer satisfaction, how plans prevent manage the chronic conditions of patients and how they screen and prevent chronic conditions from even happening to begin with. Basically medicare stamp of approval of how well a health plan actually performs on a scale, so the good news is i am very excited to make this announcement, is that, yes, drum roll, as of last week, senior dimensions actually achieved a phenomenal. Its phenomenal, amazing. Congratulations. Thanks so much. Obviously the star ratings bill down to hey, easy way for me to look at the stars and see how this plan would work. Exactly. There are other factors to keep in mind. What should we look at . You want to have a Good Relationship with your provider. Southwest medical, if youre a patient there or member of senior dimensions you have access in primary care and specialties, with access to network providers. Almost 230 providers across the valley. We have 30 different locations in las vegas, and we also have a lot of care services, such as home health services, palliative care, hospice. These are all programs that are designed to improve the quality of life for our patients when conditions, or even material i falcons. And i know there are some people that might be a member already. Yes. Or people that might be a member of a different Medicare Advantage plan. What do you say to those people . If they are a member of a Different Health plan, they have to choose a primary care doctor at southwest, or also use the open enrollment time to enroll and be a member of senior dimensions for the following year. So people that might be 70, 75, they have been thr enrollment is this old hat, simple. For people just turning 65 theyre just aging in, this can be an incredibly daunting time. This is a good time for them. Its a good time for them to look at the benefits. Its the time to look at the options that they have for the following year. And one thing they have to do is between now and august 7th they have to contact the resources and become a member. December 7th. August 7th, that would be we would love that. Not the case. So if you already have a doctor with southwest medical you would probably prefer to keep that doctor. Absolutely. Thats why you need to ask your doctor how do i get to keep you through this change. Yes. Yes. You dont have to make any changes. Just stay with the plan and theyll be fine. So how do we move forward on open enrollment . The best thing to do is watch out for mailers. This is really important. The health plan will be sending them information in the mail, open them, sit down, review your options, and coverage, and really Pay Attention because you can actually get a good quality care at the low cost with southwest medical, and also use the telephone number, call that number that you have on the screen there so that you can ask questions and make the right decisions. And its coming as a mailer. Absolutely. If you get an email saying you give Us Social Security youre all set probably not legit. You want to make sure it comes absolutely. Open enrollment underway right now. You have until december 7th to enroll or make changes. If you need any help southwest medical is here to help and happy to do so.
