"never never never give up."

In a Heartbeat
is the name of my cable TV show heading towards its 5th season. Launched in the fall of 2008, this show is my passion!
'Life changes, sometimes literally, in a heartbeat.' My goal, through the medium of television, has always been to offer information from experts to assist us in making educated choices for better health, better living. I love interviewing physicians, researchers, inventors, scientists, educators, film producers - all kinds of fascinating people - who do just this: direct us towards better living.
When I was heading to Manhattan, a few years ago,I decided to splinter my show among four of us so I could be 'out of town' (from Grosse Pointe, MI) & still continue production. My sidekicks became: Dr. David Balle, Joan Patrick Morris & 'Car Guy' (you'll see).
I was most fortunate to have Dr. David Balle agree to co-host/produce the show with me; he had graciously 'subbed' for me several times before - I knew HB would be in exceptional hands, in my absence! Check out his website: www.drballe.com.
Joan Patrick Morris is my health care management specialist on the show. She is a natural as a host - exuberant, knowledgable - bringing to the screen excellent interviews as well as frequent updates per healthcare coverage changes.
I then added John Clor, 'Car Guy', whom I have interviewed more than anyone since my very 1st show in the 90s. He cracks me up, totally. We have cooked together (well, actually, we assembled psycho-burgers, John Clor, Sack o' Ten, in my 'kitchen' - using that term loosely - on my demented-style cooking show, Lizard's Lounge), ridden together in very cool cars (who remembers the original Shelby?) & laughed on the set of every show (three) I have produced/hosted since then, including Positively Positive, the show I shared with my very dear, late friend, Jeanie McNeil Taylor.
But back to John, for a newsflash: Being perfect for TV, either as guest or host, John launched his own show last year on WMTV (same network) called, Cars in Context. Three cheers for 'Car Guy'! www.carsincontext.com. Check it out.
As the show title implies, life does change In a Heartbeat. Joan, David & I evolve to strive to bring you the best programming to answer your question of, "What happened?" with valuable information from our experts. We thank the many guests who have shared their time and expertise with our viewers.
etcetera!
ecetera!
