Dr. Cooper in studio: health insurance rates; omega-3s; women and exercise (see show notes for references)

When it comes to health insurance, well, the times are changing. The nation’s largest insurer now says that healthy habits could save you substantial cash.

By now you should know that the Omega 3 fatty acids are great for your heart and your brain….but did you know they can also help with your pain?

And yet another study, this one of women, reinforces that the more you move, the better you feel….imagine that!

Dr. Cooper answers listeners’ calls.
