The Dave Allen Show – Mediterranean Mindset, Kanawha County School Board Race, and Dave's Cancer Update
Dave Allen opens with monthly guest Millie Snyder, who discusses the Mediterranean Mindset program she teaches at the American Job Center in Charleston — focusing on the role of group support and compassion in addressing obesity, the dangers of GLP injectable weight loss drugs without dietary education, and her upcoming podcast. Kanawha County Board of Education candidate Lisa Otey then joins the show to discuss her 35 years in Kanawha County Schools, the budget pressures facing the district, the rise of alternative schooling options post-COVID, and the growing mental health demands on public school students and staff. Allen closes the show with a candid personal update, sharing that he begins radiation treatment for prostate cancer the following morning and encouraging male listeners to stay current with checkups and PSA screenings.
