Body Language ® is a medically-based program featuring women’s and children’s health and wellness issues, bringing a unique approach to patient education, prevention and enhanced health literacy to millions of broadcast and on-line listeners worldwide.
Body Language features the synergy and professional interaction of co-hosts Teresa Knight, MD, FACOG (Ob/Gyn) and health radio personality and senior correspondent, Christopher Springmann. The one-hour interviewed-based program ultimately seeks to enlighten and empower consumer’s choices and options. Body Language does this through a narrative between patient and provider, which often includes family members and loved ones.
The goal for listeners is to learn more about a condition through the experiences and guidance of others who have “been there before,” in order to demystify what can often be a frustrating and scary journey into the complicated world of healthcare.
Our experience for listeners often takes the form of:
- discussing initial symptom recognition
- exploring on-line patient advocacy organizations and support groups
- getting the correct diagnosis by identifying the proper healthcare professional and/or medical center (Scott & White Healthcare; Mayo Clinic; Cleveland Clinic; MD Anderson)
- investigating and understanding treatment options
- developing realistic expectations
- living with the outcome
That’s Body Language . . . .
Dr. Knight’s empathetic, engaging and accessible style is perfectly complimented by Springmann’s witty, colorful and sometimes irreverent presentation. Together they form an ideal team, achieving a balance between the interests of the consumer and the health professional. Dr. Knight and Springmann, as co-hosts, engage in conversation with a diverse group of people in the healthcare and wellness arena. Responding to the hosts’ well-informed and experienced questioning, the interviewees provide insights and information for the listening audience. The personal approach of the hosts turns even complex material into understandable and memorable content.
The program offers sponsors and underwriters the opportunity to create awareness of their achievements in research, product development, and treatment capabilities. Body Language uses in-depth interviews with the sponsor’s chosen representatives, health professionals and patients, to produce compelling, engaging stories, including case histories and testimonials.
