Tune in for the Latest Healthy Living News

Healthy Living Healthy Planet Radio (HLHPR) airs Saturdays at 3 p.m. on KFXR 1190AM and simultaneously on the iHeart app. It began on-air broadcasting in 2019, sponsored by EarthX and Natural Awakenings Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex magazine.

The show's host, Natural Awakenings publisher Bernice Butler, is "passionate to help educate and inform ordinary, everyday folks, who often don’t feel that they’re talked to, about environment issues and to frame them so they get it."

She is a native Texan, UT graduate and green, healthy, sustainable lifestyle advocate. Butler says, "Our goal is  to get people to care about the environment, and through discussions with our world's leading expert guests, activists and advocates every week to get them to see why they should care.

Weekly interviews with experts that include themes from extreme weather events to air and plastic pollution and forest and outdoor environments help to dissect what it means to your health when we don’t take care of them as we must.
