EXPERT ALERTS:

Getting Married? Wait!
Kailen Rosenberg
Celebrity Love Architect
The Love Architects
"1) Confirm your compatibility: It's not necessary to like all the same things or agree on everything, but there should be foundation of common interests and shared friendships that will allow you to grow into your new blended life together. 2) Meet the parents: You will learn so much from seeing where your partner comes from in terms of past love role models. We are likely to play out some version of what we witnessed as children, so you should be ready for that. If either of you is the child of divorce or marital dysfunction, it isn't necessarily a relationship death sentence; it simply means your mutual awareness of it and willingness to work through it honestly and openly are vital to the health of your own partnership. The level of openness, honesty and emotional vulnerability each of you share in this kind of conversation is a huge sign of how open, honest, and vulnerable you will be within your own marriage. 3) Look for deal breakers: Don't walk down the aisle if you're not completely in alignment with your personal truth. Be honest with yourself: Are there any things about your partner that go against your personal value system? It's okay to challenge yourself to open your mind and think differently, but don't ignore warning signs for fear of losing the relationship. Identifying and addressing these issues now is essential to starting your marriage on the right foot. If you go into marriage hoping certain fundamental qualities of your partner will eventually change, he or she may not be the right person for you."

Three Reasons the U.S. Health Care System Is the Worst Among Developed Nations
Dr. Elaina George
Author
According to the Commonwealth Fund, which regularly ranks the health systems of a handful of developed countries, the best countries for health care are the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Australia. The lowest performer? The United States, even though it spends the most. Dr. George says three reasons for this are: "1) A lack of insurance coverage: More than 27 million people in the United States were uninsured in 2016 -- nearly a tenth of the population -- often because they can't afford coverage, live in a state that didn't expand Medicaid, or are undocumented. 2) Administrative inefficiency: According to the report, in the United States, 'doctors and patients [report] wasting time on billing and insurance claims.' 3) Underperforming primary care: The Commonwealth Fund found that 'many primary-care physicians struggle to receive relevant clinical information from specialists and hospitals, complicating efforts to provide seamless, coordinated care.'"
Based in Atlanta, Dr. George is a board-certified otolaryngologist. She graduated from Princeton University with a degree in biology; received her master's degree in medical bicrobiology from Long Island University; and received her medical degree from Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. Dr. George completed her residency at Manhattan, Eye Ear & Throat Hospital. She is on the advisory council of Project 21 black leadership network, an initiative of The National Center for Public Policy Research. She hosts her own radio show, "Medicine On Call," and is a keynote speaker for many organizations. She is also the author of "Big Medicine: The Cost Of Corporate Control And How Doctors And Patients Working Together Can Rebuild A Better System."

The Mental Health Benefits of Laughter
Dr. John Huber
Chairman
Mainstream Mental Health
"Laughing makes us healthy by: 1) Boosting Brain Power: In a study at Johns Hopkins University Medical School, humor during instruction led to increased test scores. 2) Reducing Stress: Laughter relaxes the whole body. A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after. 3) Prolonging Life: Laughter protects the heart. Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems. A study in Norway found that people with a strong sense of humor outlived those who don't laugh as much. This was especially significant with cancer patients. 4) Boosting Physical Health: Laughter increases vascular blood flow and oxygenation of the blood, and helps lower blood pressure. Studies have shown that repetitious 'mirthful laughter' causes the body to respond in a way similar to moderate physical exercise. Laughter enhances your mood, decreases stress hormones, enhances immune activity, lowers bad cholesterol and systolic blood pressure, and raises good cholesterol (HDL). 5) Strengthening the Immune System: Laughter increases the ability of your immune system by increasing the response of tumor- and disease-killing cells such as Gamma-interferon and T-cells. 6) Reducing Frequency of Colds: Some research has even shown that laughter defends against respiratory infections -- even reducing the frequency of colds–by immunoglobulon in saliva. 7) Increasing Joy: Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain."
Dr. John Huber is the chairman for Mainstream Mental Health, a non-profit organization that brings lasting and positive change to the lives of individuals that suffer from mental health issues. A mental health professional for more than 20 years, Dr. Huber is a clinical forensic psychologist and a practitioner with privileges at two long-term acute-care hospitals. He has appeared on more than 300 top-tier radio shows and 30 national television programs, is Law Newz's go-to clinical psychologist, and appears regularly on "America Trends." He is also the host of "Mainstream Mental Health Radio," which is heard nationwide and features interviews with today's top mental health professionals.
