Medicinal Botanicals with Hoppe Rodenbaugh & Cheryl Myers

Sunday, October 11, 2026

In this episode of Dr. Health Radio, host David Snow honors the late Terry Lemerond, the pioneering formulator who brought many of today’s most popular botanical supplements—including standardized ginkgo, milk thistle, glucosamine, and curcumin—to the American market. Hoppe Rodenbaugh, who worked closely with Terry for decades, shares personal stories about the challenges of introducing these then-unknown ingredients in the 1980s and the lasting impact of Terry’s results-focused approach.

Cheryl Myers, healthcare practitioner and scientific advisor for Terry Naturally/EuroPharma, joins to explain the science behind standardized botanicals and highlights two standout formulas: CuraMed, an enhanced-absorption curcumin (BCM-95) backed by more than 90 studies for healthy inflammation response, pain, and overall wellness, and Plurimax, a clinically studied oyster-mushroom extract shown to support upper-respiratory and immune health. The conversation also touches on the company’s pet-health line and the broader value of plant-based compounds that deliver drug-like benefits with fewer side effects.

Packed with history, science, and practical product insights, this episode celebrates the pioneers and formulas that helped shape modern natural medicine.
