    Late Night Health

    Late Night Health is designed to empower healthcare consumers to take charge of their own health. The show started when our host, Mark Alyn, experienced back pain and his insurance company refused to cover the problem. Partnering with “The Insane Darrell Wayne” resulted in the creation of an upbeat, unique program showcasing a wide range of health topics - from energy healing to the latest techniques to fight cancer, the show is a blend of traditional and alternative health modalities. Being health consumers just like you, our focus is on what’s good for people, not Big Pharma or insurance companies. Join Mark and Darrell on our journey to great health on Late Night Health - available on the radio stations listed below or search for individual shows through our website and download them to your preferred mobile devices. You can also listen on iTunes, Spreaker, PodcastAddict, SoundCloud, Spotify, RadioActive and through many of your favorite apps.
