We are focusing on our kids for the first half of the show in light of recent events in Texas. Dr. Stevie Puckett-Perez joins us from Children’s Health and UT Southwestern Medical Center to process many of the emotions our kids and teens are feeling as the 2022 summer break begins across North Texas.
There is an easily-preventable cancer that many people get, but with a simple, early diagnostic procedure, can be completely removed at the time of the procedure itself.

Dr. Amit Desai, Gastroenterologist at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas stops by to give us valuable information on how this disease has become more wide-spread among the younger population, increasing the importance of beginning testing sooner.
