Pharmacist Ben Fuchs spoke about natural health remedies and the vitamins, nutrients, and minerals our bodies need to maintain good health. Responding to a listener's question about dry feet, he highlighted the role of circulation and blood sugar, and suggested that essential fatty acids can help with dry, scaly skin. Fuchs also outlined nitric oxide's benefits, explaining, "Nitric oxide is a vasodilator and opens up blood vessels," and that improving circulation, particularly to the extremities and brain, can enhance overall health. For a caller who had issues with "eye floaters," he said this indicates that the eye tissue is starting to break down, and it could be helpful to take supplements that build up connective tissue, like bone broth, glucosamine, and MSM.

Fuchs criticized the US healthcare model, asserting that it fails to address chronic degenerative diseases. He claimed, "There's not a single prescription drug that can make you better... we spend more money per capita than any other country in the world on healthcare, and we're the sickest and most obese." Discussing the importance of lifestyle choices, he urged listeners to take control of their health through proper nutrition and exercise. Fuchs remarked, "We as individuals have so much power to participate in our own health," stressing the significance of addressing mental and emotional well-being as part of a holistic approach.
