His bestselling audiobook, “America’s Unbalanced Diet,” has sold over a million copies, serving as a catalyst for raising awareness about the detrimental effects of unhealthy dietary habits.
Legacy on ‘Healthy Solutions’ Radio”
Dr. David Friedman embarked on his radio journey in 1994 with the launch of “Healthy Solutions,” a syndicated program broadcast across numerous FM/AM stations throughout the United States. A pivotal moment early in his career was securing an interview with the elusive Andy Griffith, renowned for his reluctance to grant interviews. Griffith’s remark before going on air, sharing the last person he let interview him was legendary radio host Larry King, created a bit of nervousness, but the interview unfolded smoothly. Their conversation felt relaxed, akin to old friends chatting in a living room.
Since then, Dr. David Friedman has cultivated a reputation as an engaging and approachable interviewer who brings out the best in his guests, whether they are celebrities, esteemed doctors, or bestselling authors. This journey expanded in 2007 when he became the health expert for Lifetime Television’s morning show, reaching millions weekly with cutting-edge features. Popular topics included debates on artificial sweeteners contributing to obesity, the impact of milk on bone health, and potential risks associated with certain vitamins.
Hosting both a syndicated radio show and a TV segment has enabled Dr. Friedman to stay active in the ever-evolving health and diet landscape. He views himself as a perpetual student, constantly updating his knowledge to keep pace with the dynamic shifts in health information.
Reflecting on his interviews, Dr. Friedman recalls a memorable conversation with Dr. Earl Mindell, author of #1 New York Times bestseller “The Vitamin Bible,” a revered nutrition book. Dr. Mindell highlighted how nutritional advice has evolved so much that all the information in his book is considered obsolete today. Recommendations like daily vitamin allowances undergo revisions every five years. This insight underscores the role of “To Your Good Health Radio” as a trusted platform for making informed decisions. It has become a preferred venue for celebrities, renowned doctors, and bestselling authors, including guests like Matthew McConaughey, William Shatner, Jay Leno, and Jenny McCarthy.
Building Trust
Dr. Friedman has been dedicated to serving his community since 1989, building a thriving practice entirely through word-of-mouth referrals. Despite eschewing traditional advertising, his schedule consistently remains full, a testament to the genuine recommendations from his satisfied patients. This achievement underscores the trust and strong relationships Dr. Friedman has cultivated over the years.
Central to his clinic’s philosophy is a whole body, functional medicine approach. Dr. Friedman believes in providing personalized care that goes beyond merely treating symptoms, aiming to address each patient’s unique health needs comprehensively. Many of his patients have become like extended family, forging bonds that transcend typical doctor-patient interactions. Their loyalty is evident as some travel from other states to continue receiving care from him even after relocating. This commitment inspires Dr. Friedman to deliver the highest standard of holistic care every day.
