Introduction
In an alternate universe, Three’s very own Dr. Stephen Sabo might have been a famous sports announcer for one of his beloved New York teams!

Find out what else we learned about Dr. Sabo, an Attending Emergency Physician and Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Suffern, NY, in our latest Scientific Advisory Board member spotlight…

Why did you choose a career in medicine?
“I always looked up to my father, a thoracic surgeon and my role model. There was never a doubt I was going to medical school.”

What drew you to Emergency Medicine in particular?
“Some of my friends thought I went into Emergency Medicine to fit my career into my schedule of attending pro sports games. (I had tickets to most NY sports teams.) In reality, I liked the fast pace and the fact that I was able to take care of patients in all areas of medicine.”

What are you most proud of when you think about your career as a doctor?
“I’m most proud of all the people I’ve been able to help over the past 25 years. We work as a team in the ER, and I’m very proud of how our team comes together especially when a sick patient arrives.”

What skill(s) are you still striving to perfect in your profession?
“I continue to strive for honesty and compassion in my practice. I am honest with patients, and if I don’t know the answer, I will say so and recommend a way to help them find the answer. Most importantly, I continue to have a caring attitude with patients and families.”

Why are liposomes such a difference maker?
“One of the main problems with supplements is they don’t get well absorbed. Liposomes are a game changer as they increase absorption; and we’re one of the few companies that use them with nutraceutical products!”

Outside of medicine and Three, what hobby or cause are you very passionate about?
“I’m an avid skier and a diehard NY Mets, NY Jets, and NY Knicks fan…and they disappoint me most of the time.”

If you didn’t choose medicine, what alternative career path would you have chosen?
“Fitting in with my sports interests, I would have been a sports announcer if I wasn’t a doctor. I used to do impersonations of famous sports announcers.”

What advice do you give people about maintaining their health?
“In my opinion the key to good health is good nutrition. It’s about eating healthy most of the time. Our family eats organic, gluten free, dairy free and sugar free foods most of the time. Think of it as a healthy lifestyle where you also treat yourself from time to time.”

Introduction
Which more about Dr. Lana Louie Wania-Galicia in our latest Scientific Advisory Board member spotlight…

Why did you choose a career in medicine?
“Since I was five years old, I wanted to become a physician, as I was surrounded by cousins who are physicians. Making a difference in the lives of many was very attractive to me. There’s no greater joy than the one I feel when I help a very sick patient attain or restore good health and well-being.”

What drew you to specialize in pain medicine in particular?
“Undertreatment of pain in my country is an epidemic. That became very evident to me when my grandmother, whom I love so much and who helped my parents raise me, sustained a hip fracture from a fall. I saw her suffer through the pain and, unfortunately, pass away from complications. I promised myself through God’s grace that I would pursue a specialty that takes care of patients in pain.”

What are you most proud of when you think about your career as a doctor?
“Every life I’ve touched, every case I’ve handled, every injection I have done, and every opportunity I’ve had to listen to and interact with my patients—for them to trust me with their healthcare needs is what I am most thankful for and most proud of.”

What goals are you still striving for in your profession?
“My goals are to educate and encourage colleagues in this field to understand the importance of complementary and alternative medicine, such as nutrition and nutraceuticals, in the overall management of pain and diseases and the maintenance of health and well-being. I also want to extend this education into academia because those physicians in training need to have a foundational knowledge of nutrition and this budding branch of medicine—functional, integrative, and complementary medicine.”

Why are you passionate about Three?
“I am passionate about everything about Three: the mission of creating a generation of healthier individuals; the mission of partnering with Hearts and Hands for Humanity and its projects; the science behind the products; the phenomenal group of leaders and Brand Ambassadors with their dedication and commitment to the cause; and, the incredibly amazing positive outcome on the health and well-being of those who use the products.”

Why are liposomes such a difference maker?
“Being an anesthesiologist, I really do appreciate the significance of a liposome. To have a system and protective mechanism that assures delivery of vital ingredients to achieve optimal, positive, beneficial results is short of a medical miracle.”

What is your favorite Three product? And why should people be using it?
“I have several favorite. Being a pain management specialist, I educate my patients to try Revive with its potent ingredient, the liposomal curcumin.

Outside of medicine, what hobby or cause are you very passionate about?
“I love music. In fact, it was my first love before medicine. I find joy in singing and playing musical instruments such as the piano, guitar, and the drums. I’m very passionate about my medical and surgical mission work through my community, Couples for Christ’s action arm Answering the Cry of the Poor to different parts of the world serving the marginalized members of society.”

If you didn’t choose medicine, what alternative career path would you have chosen?
“I would like to be in the music industry, primarily creating melodies and composing songs.”

What advice do you give people about maintaining their health?
“Health is wealth. Be informed. Listen to your body; it will dictate what you should or shouldn’t be doing. Preventative medicine is the key to optimal health and wellness.”

Scientific Advisory Board Member Spotlight: Dr. James Baker

RETURN TO SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY BOARD PAGE

Introduction
Known simply as “Doc” to his friends growing up, Dr. James Baker seemed destined for the career he’s now enjoying. In fact, he says he always wanted to be in a position to help others and truly felt called to do this work since the age of five. “I never wondered what I would be growing up like other kids did,” Dr. Baker says. “I always knew I was born to be a doctor.”

We recently caught up with Dr. Baker, who serves as President of Medical Executive Staff & Co-Medical Director at the Northwest Arkansas Rehabilitation Hospital and as a member of the Three Scientific Advisory Board, to learn more about what drives him and his passion for Three. Here is what we learned…

Why osteopathic medicine?
“While in medical school, I thought I wanted to be a pediatrician; and because I was ranked first in my class, I had the privilege of training at some of the best pediatric facilities in the country. However, I witnessed many especially difficult things in that setting. As a result, I elected to do internal medicine instead. A friend in college told me how pleased he was with the osteopathic medical school he was attending. So when I interviewed, I knew this was where I needed to be. They teach a holistic approach along with preventative medicine.”

What are you most proud of when you think about your career as a doctor?
“I’m most proud of the close relationships I’ve developed over the years with my patients. People can share their deepest needs with me, and they trust that I will give them the best advice I possibly can.”

What accomplishment/goal are you still striving for in your profession?
“I want to continue to speak into people’s lives in a helpful and compassionate way. That someday I can hear God say, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant.’”

Why are you passionate about Three?
“Because of the many wonderful friends and relationships that will be with us lifelong. My wife, Alisa, and I love seeing the positive changes in people’s lives and are honored and privileged to have the opportunity to share this with so many. We are firm believers in paying it forward and want very much to impact people’s lives—not just physically, but financially, spiritually, and socially as well.”

Why are liposomes such a difference maker?
“People often think that putting good nutrition into the body is all that’s necessary. If it were that simple, we’d all be doing it. Absorption really is the name of the game. Unless you can get the nutrition in a form your body can absorb, it is useless. Liposomes make this absorption possible.”

What hobby or causes are you very passionate about?
“I love to travel with my wife experiencing new and exciting places. I am an avid Arkansas Razorback fan and have followed our local sports teams for many, many years. In addition, I have been integrally involved in the new state-of-the-art medical school just an hour south of us. It has been exciting for me to see these new medical developments and having the chance to speak into the lives of the next generation of physicians.”

If you didn’t choose medicine, what career path would you have chosen?
“I haven’t thought much about that, but I would probably like to teach at the college level or in a medical school. And if that doesn’t work out, I can always be a country western singer…NOT!“

What advice do you give people about maintaining their health?
“1. Exercise regularly.
2. Get at least seven hours of sleep per night.
3. Do something for others each day.
4. Find healthy ways to manage your stress.
5. Maintain a healthy and continuous prayer life.
And I agree with Dr. Schneider…more sex!”

Scientific Advisory Board Member Spotlight: Dr. Timothy Schneider

RETURN TO SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY BOARD PAGE

Introduction
The youngest of three children and a Christian pastor’s son, Dr. Timothy Schneider’s mother was diagnosed with cancer when Dr. Schneider was just two years old. “Throughout my childhood, we children were farmed out to various families and relatives as my mother received multiple surgeries and radiation at Mayo Clinic,” he recalls. “Fortunately, my mother lived until I was 22 years old, which was remarkable survival for those days.” In the eighth grade, Schneider took an interest in health, wellness, and prevention seeking to avoid what his mother went through. “Back then, it was Adelle Davis, Euell Gibbons, and the Mother Earth News that promoted the ‘grow-your-own’ trend for health and self-sufficiency,” he says. “My family doctor was the coolest and kindest person I knew as a child, so that is how I ended up wanting to be a doctor.” We recently caught up with Dr. Schneider, a former chairman of the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s Refractive Surgery Specialty Information Team and current member of the Three Scientific Advisory Board, to learn more about what drives him and his passion for Three. Here is what we learned…

Why ophthalmology?
“Ophthalmology is a specialty in which I can help restore vision when someone is suffering from cataracts, glaucoma, or refractive errors. The technology I utilize every day with lasers, ultrasound, and almost-sci-fi diagnostic equipment makes my profession undoubtedly the best in all of medicine. It’s a fantastic feeling each time I am rewarded with a happy patient with 20/20 vision. Ten years ago I entered a fellowship-training program in anti-aging and regenerative medicine called A4M. This gave me the opportunity to gain insight into health, wellness, and prevention that allowed me to complete my passion in this area that I started in eighth grade.”

What challenges do you face that keep you from being the most effective you can be in your job?
“Well, the good news is that fantastic technology continues to make it easier to diagnose and treat ophthalmic diseases. The bad news is that as healthcare resources become limited (Medicare), the use of these technologies becomes too expensive and, thus, many of my patients are unable to enjoy the fruits of this technology.”

What opportunities do you see arising that will help you be more efficient as a medical professional?
“I am more interested in becoming more compassionate as a medical professional even though society says it’s all about efficiency.”

In what ways does nutritional technology play a role in your career?
“My passion for teaching health and wellness to my patients took a hiatus until I was introduced to Three and liposomal technology. At that moment, the door opened to many ‘what-ifs’ because we can achieve meaningful delivery of nutrients never achieved before.”

Do you foresee nutritional technologies playing an even greater role in the field of medicine?
“Yes. With advanced delivery systems like Three’s liposome and enzyme-assisted delivery, nutrition will be at the forefront in disease prevention. I see Three as a vehicle to decreasing the number of patients who will need their MDs in the future by enabling food to be our medicine. ‘Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.’—Hippocrates.”

Why are you passionate about Three?
“I am passionate about Three because of the leadership, culture, and the fact that it represents people from all walks of life working together and creating meaningful friendships. The products are great as are the financial opportunities, but what life really comes down to is our relationships. That is really the only thing that matters, whether that relationship is with God, your family, or your co-workers. My Three friends feel like my second family because the quality of people Three attracts is extraordinary.”

Why are liposomes such a difference maker?
“Liposomes allow our nature-based nutrients to gain access to our bodies’ cells at a much greater degree than ever before. Food has lost much of its nutrition over the years because farmers were never rewarded for delivering us nutritious tomatoes, only tomatoes that looked good. Now we can deliver higher amounts of nutrients in a smaller-sized capsule, and technology has taught us how to mix and match nutrients to best benefit our bodies.”
