On Sunday, May 31, I was privileged to be invited to a guest appearance on Dr. David Samadi’s radio program, World Health News, on 970 AM “The Apple” in New York City.

Dr. Samadi is Chairman of Urology at Lenox Hill Hospital and medical correspondent for the Fox News Medical A-Team. I’ve always admired Dr. Samadi’s encyclopedic knowledge of medicine, and he’s a great communicator. The theme of the program was vitamins and supplements, in response to a deluge of phone calls Dr. Samadi received when he aired the subject on a previous broadcast. While conventionally-trained, and an acknowledged expert in robotic surgery, Dr. Samadi evinced a refreshing openness to natural approaches to health. He challenged me with questions about the safety and effectiveness of supplements. Cardiologist and integrative medicine expert Dr. Dennis Goodman of NYU Langone joined us for a lively discussion and to field call-in questions.

Give the gift of healthy chocolate!

If you have a sweet tooth like me, the holiday season can be full of temptation.

Thankfully, FlavaNaturals’ line of products ensures chocolate lovers like me can obtain the full health benefits of cocoa flavanols along with great taste—all with less fat and sugar!

Cocoa is one of the most thoroughly-investigated functional foods on the planet. That’s why I take plentiful, flavanol-rich cocoa supplementation daily and have long recommended it to my patients and audience. But just taking any store-bought dark chocolate won’t deliver its benefits; FlavaNaturals cocoa products contain 5-9 times the beneficial flavanols of typical dark chocolate. I throw some powder in with my decaf or a smoothie, and even use it to make chia chocolate pudding!

Right now, FlavaNaturals is offering special holiday savings for my audience: Save 20% through December 19th with code HOFFMAN20
