Holistic Health Show

The first guest of Dr Carl O Helvie, Host, Holistic Health Show, on Saturday is Stephan Dorlandt, a 19 year veteran of the natural products industry. He has owned a health food store, performed over 10,000 live blood cell consultations as a clinical nutritionist, and formulated his own line of dietary supplements. His products are sold by practitioners (MD’s, chiropractors) and health food stores. Stephan’s writing has appeared in Clinical Psychiatry News, Erboristeria Domani, Neurology Today, and Natural Products Marketplace. His first book, “DR GOURD,” was published in March, 2010.
Stephan can be seen on youtube as the “angry nutritionist.”
His twitter handle is “doctorgourd.”
Stephan graduated with a BA degree from Florida State University, in 1976. After college, he worked two years as a high school teacher. Then he relocated to the West Coast, where, in his own words, he “stumbled into the medical field.”
“At that time — in Los Angeles — it was easy to get a temporary job in the medical field if you could speak Spanish. Since I needed a job, and I spoke Spanish fairly well, I took advantage of the opportunity. I didn’t know it at the time, but that ‘twist of fate’ turned into my life’s career.”
Stephan proceeded to work in the medical field for 10 years.
He worked in a variety of positions, including Medical Assistant, Surgical Technician, and Biofeedback therapist.
In the early 1990’s, Stephan became interested in Alternative Medicine for treatment of AIDS and substance abuse – the two biggest health challenges of the time .
In 1992, he opened a health food store in Hollywood, California. Being the epicenter for AIDS in the U.S. at that time, Hollywood “was one of the best places one could be to learn about underground and esoteric natural medicines.”
Stephan lives in Los Angeles, California, with his wife Leonore, a practicing neurologist. They have one daughter, Dasha, a college freshman. Stephan is a competitive tennis player, and dabbles as an ethnic chef.

My second guest, Stacey Grieve has worked helping people with their health for almost 18 years. Until 2007 she owned a complimentary health care clinic in downtown Toronto, Canada and was an award-winning Registered Massage Therapist. Now retired from massage and clinic-ownership, she has been working as a Wellness Consultant, helping people understand and implement natural and non-invasive healing modalities to ensure the best results.
