What better way to revive the Alive & Well show than with the brilliant Dr Stuart McGill, a kinesiologist specializing in spinal mechanics? I hosted the Alive & Well show, with Crystal Lacey Edwards, on KHTS AM1220 in Southern California for 5 years. We interviewed so many interesting people that have gone on to shape the work that I do now with scoliosis clients. Whether it’s breathing or nutrition advice, strengthening or hydrating advice, I know which experts to turn to and where to find them so that all of my clients will benefit. We spoke with Dinah Bradley, Christian Northrup, T. Colin Campbell, Rip Esselstyn, and so many more. Now that we are facing quarantine around the world, it’s  time to reach out again to the brilliant minds around the world for their insight and advice.
