We have the Thinking Moms Revolution, Holistic Moms Network, and Mothering.com. When it comes to family health and wellness, moms are usually in charge.

But not always. Dads do it, too! Admit it… you’re curious, right?

Dr. Larry hands the microphone to a gregarious and inspiring dad in his practice and plans to ask the things we want to know:

• What does it look like when holistic dads take the lead?
• How did they make the shift to living more holistically?
• What did it take to get their wives and other family members on board?
• How do conversations go with other men about health and raising their kids?
• How did holistic medicine help them evaluate and deliver more appropriate care for their children?

Read our dad’s bio below and tune in on August 27. This promises to be a show full of passion and heart.

Mike Rosano is the 36 year-old father of Giuliana (4) and Antonia (7 months). His wife, Roseanne, is a social worker and currently a stay at home mom. Mike graduated from SUNY Farmingdale and the University of Georgia with degrees in Ornamental Horticulture and Landscape Architecture. Mike works in the residential and commercial sectors where he designs and oversees landscape construction. He is an avid CrossFitter, holding a level 1 trainer’s certification. When Mike’s oldest daughter was born, he had many questions about her care. When many of the answers given to him by conventional doctors did not make much sense, Mike and Roseanne sought a more holistic approach to health care for their children. Mike is passionate about health, and believes exercise and eating real healing foods are the keys to optimum health for his family. Mike believes that leading by example is the most important way he can teach his children to be happy and healthy.
