9 p.m. | Omni Health Revolution with Tana Amen, RN, and Dr. Daniel Amen

The Omni Health Revolution is a new show by psychiatrist Daniel Amen and his wife, neurosurgical intensive care nurse Tana Amen.

The program is designed to help viewers take control of their physical and mental health using the science of nutragenomics - a big word, but it's very simple. Nutragenomics tells us that the foods you eat talk directly to your genes. You have the choice to eat in a way that turns on genes that keep you healthy or make you sick. Most people think of their genes like an evil monarchy that condemned them to be sick. Daniel and Tana Amen turn that notion on its head to give viewers much more control over the health of their bodies and minds. The Omni Health Revolution is a bipartisan plan that bridges the gap between strict vegetarian diets and extreme high protein diets. That diet program is based on 70% plant based foods and 30% high quality protein. It is the perfect balance for optimal health and performance. Participants find it gives them better energy, memory, and mood, plus a slimmer waistline.

As an ICU nurse, Tana knows a lot of uncomfortable ways to keep people alive for a long time. But she wants a high quality life and has adopted the concept of health span instead of lifespan. Health span is how long you live in a healthy state and are able to enjoy looking and feeling your best, living with passion, and having the greatest resistance to disease. And the thing is, most of us don't have to eat an extreme diet to enjoy a long, healthy life.

According to Peggy, "Yoga is only part of the healing process. Our sedentary lifestyles and poor eating habits are also fanning the flames of joint pain, and research shows that these factors can greatly exacerbate the pain in problem joints."

As an instructor who walks the walk, Peggy will discuss how some of the simplest changes can make a positive and lasting impact on your daily life, and she is living proof. She will also demonstrate some of the easy changes that can be incorporated into a daily routine.

Nothing is more important than your health, family and loved ones.

In Protect Your Memory, Dr. Neal Barnard proves with ground-breaking research that there is in fact, lots you can do to protect your brain and memory! In his new PBS program, Dr. Barnard dives into three simple steps which you can take to derail the degenerative processes that could otherwise derail you and your memory: Skip "bad fat," Knock out free radicals, Exercise your brain. Dr. Barnard also warns against potential threats to the brain, including medications, drug interactions, sleep deprivation and physical conditions that can put your memory at risk. While research has led to clear answers about how to prevent lung cancer and reduce heart attacks, most people have absolutely no idea that it is possible to protect their memory, brain and connections with loved ones.

In this program, Dr. Barnard provides viewers with the researched-backed information, giving them the power to protect their memory, beyond simply "waiting and seeing."

Nothing is more important than your health, family and loved ones.

In Protect Your Memory, Dr. Neal Barnard proves with ground-breaking research that there is in fact, lots you can do to protect your brain and memory! In his new PBS program, Dr. Barnard dives into three simple steps which you can take to derail the degenerative processes that could otherwise derail you and your memory: Skip "bad fat," Knock out free radicals, Exercise your brain. Dr. Barnard also warns against potential threats to the brain, including medications, drug interactions, sleep deprivation and physical conditions that can put your memory at risk.

7 p.m. | Hunter-Farmer Healthy Weight Solution with Mark Liponis

Public television viewers have proven to have an insatiable appetite(!) for diet programs. Each of those programs proposes ONE specific kind of diet for all viewers. But what if that's the wrong approach? What can we do to help people realize that some of their experiences and intuitions about diet are valid, while some accepted "dogma" is just myth?

So we don't really need another diet. We need a solution. And just like we understand that there's no "one size fits all" prescription for chronic pain, the challenges of menopause, or keeping our brains healthy, research is showing that the right diet is not just one diet, but it's the right diet for the right person - and there are different kinds of people when it comes to eating. The Hunter-Farmer Healthy Weight Solution is what viewers have been waiting for. Dr. Mark Liponis, has created a groundbreaking approach to diet by identifying two metabolic "styles"- and each style requires a different approach to healthy and sustained weight loss. Viewers will learn whether they are a Hunter ... or a Farmer.

Historically, Hunters and Farmers had two entirely different eating patterns: Hunters tended to feast; Farmers tended to graze. The program is based on his book The Hunter/Farmer Diet Solution and it has been embraced by readers and featured on the Dr. Oz show. Dr. Liponis is a leading expert in preventive and integrative medicine, author, and Chief Corporate Medical Director of Canyon Ranch, the renowned collection of wellness retreats across the U.S. Dr. Liponis' research, in the U.S. and abroad, has uncovered the facts that will guide viewers to their identify as either "Hunter" or "Farmer and help them tailor their eating habits and food choices in a way that makes sense, as never before. The program was produced by Niki Vettel (Dr. Wayne Dyer and Dr. Christiane Northrup specials). The pledge event is hosted by Greg Sherwood with Dr. Liponis in the studio.
