This week: Running, the hunger hormone, caregiver grief

Upstate physical therapist Lee Berube, who won the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge race in 2016 and 2017, joins us this week to talk about the health benefits of running. Berube explains how he got his start running as a youngster and he offers advice for beginners.

Also this week: how grief may affect caregivers, and what we know about the hunger hormone ghrelin -- specifically how molecules could potentially block the way ghrelin communicates with the body.

Join us this Sunday, October 22, at 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. for "HealthLink on Air," on WRVO.

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.

Stand with public media and make your gift today—not just for yourself, but for all who depend on WRVO as a trusted resource and civic cornerstone in central and upstate New York.
