A stroke at age 26? It happened to Leann Hendrix, Miss Arizona 1998. She's completely recovered now, living a full life, and educating women about stroke's risks and warning signs. Learn what to do if it happens to you. Meet Lawton, a golden retriever with a remarkable nose. He can detect when people with diabetes experience low blood sugar. Watch him in action with four-year-old Luke Schuhmacher, and learn why Lawton and other trained diabetic service dogs are more effective than medical monitors. Thanks in part to statins, for the first time in 50 years the average American's cholesterol level is in the normal range. Find out how these drugs work and whether they're right for you. Almonds and fresh mahi mahi make a deliciously powerful combination. Learn how Dr. John La Puma's ChefMD®-approved recipe lowers LDL "lousy" cholesterol and prevents heart disease. Leeza and Dr. Jamie Huysman share Norm's story. He discovered a new purpose in life when his seven-year-old grandson needed a wheelchair. Dr. Lisa and Walgreens pharmacist John Jenkins discuss which OTC meds work best for a runny or stuffy nose. Dinner? Movie? Rappelling? All about the latest trends in dating. Plus, fitness expert Kathy Smith helps you relieve tension and improve your posture with some easy yoga stretches, and Florida Perry Smith on young-looking skin. All that and so much more.
