In recognition of American Heart Month, Health Corner presents two extraordinary stories you'll always remember. Meet author Amy Silverstein, a woman who had a heart transplant more than 20 years ago. It's been anything but life as usual. She shares her struggles, recovery and new-found joys. Is there a better way to save the life of someone having a heart attack? Learn all about chest compression resuscitation—also known as the new CPR—and meet a man whose life it saved. Plus, did your classroom have a bully? Bullies are still a threat, as they cajole, threaten and intimidate on the net. Meet a tenacious teen who has overcome their taunts. Leeza and Dr. Jamie share Peggy's story, a caregiver whose husband has multiple sclerosis. Find out how the entire family is coming together to navigate new and unfamiliar caregiving challenges. Make room for legumes! Lentils are high in cholesterol-lowering fiber and protein. Dr. John La Puma combines them with red peppers for a rich, satisfying ChefMD®-approved soup your whole family will love. Everyone experiences pain – but when should you get help?  Walgreens Pharmacist John Jenkins joins Dr. Lisa to identify when a trip to the physician is necessary. Plus, image consultant Florida Perry Smith with why your eyes "have it," and home life expert Jill Repp on detangling toddlers' tresses. All that, and so much more.
