Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast: Episode 357 : Daytona 50 Mile Ultra and Breaking Tasks Into Manageable Pieces

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.

The Daytona 50 mile race is in the books.  It was my first road ultramarathon, and I continue to learn a little something at each race.  I believe the learning points can be applied to any new task or long term goal.  

1. Break a goal down into small parts.  This seems obvious but the trick is staying in the small part and not looking into the daunting future. 

2. Have a strategy for each segment before the segment begins and follow the plan.  Variables come up, there is always the unknown, but a strategy is a must for a baseline.

3. What is your time frame? Can you stick to it? Have you ever started a trip without a time plan?  The progress is not always what you want. 

4. Stiffness is a real concern with sitting during an ultramarathon.  However, you can get started again. 

5. Nutrition is best handled without relying on an aid station for solid foods for the most part. Its is not a buffet. 

6. Salty britches is a must for blister prevention. 

I hope you enjoy my story. Thanks for listening. 

Are marathons bad for your heart?  I will review a study that looks at imaging and blood test.  Bottom line is symptoms matter when it comes to testing accuracy.

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 536: Born to Move and Does DHA really matter?

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Move it or loose it for sure but how should be move and how often.  I made some observations at this year's Turkey trot that I think you might find helpful. 

Vitamin D is not just about bones but your immune system, your heart, and many other things.  The sun is the best source because there are so many other mechanisms in the body fueled by the sun's photons.  However, getting adequate vitamin D is a must. 

What about DHA.  Can we just rely on alpha linolenic acid from plants?   The question becomes live or thrive?  I believe we can do better with excellent DHA levels and I will discuss this during the podcast.

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 535 : Thanksgiving with My Friends

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  I am joined by my favorite little people today to talk all things Thanksgiving.  I give you a little recap of my latest learning experience during the Colt 45k this past weekend.

I am grateful for all of you who continue to tune into the podcast after all these years.  It has been a pleasure to learn and share information with those interested in being as healthy as possible.  It is easy to loose sight of the simple gifts around us.  It was a very special moment to have my grandchildren on my lap during this podcast.  A simple conversation unscripted after a simple dinner of bean soup and cornbread.  

Colt Creek 45K was also a simple gift of running in the woods in central Florida.  Even though our leaves don't change, there were beautiful purple and yellow wild flowers among fields of grass, pines and oaks.  I continue to learn with each race and increase my tool box for trouble shooting the unexpected.  Sometimes, in the moment, we are not sure what the next step might be.  The beauty I continue to learn is just to take that next step.  It all seems to work out. 

Happy Thanksgiving.  Enjoy the simple gifts around you.

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 534: DHA Importance and High Expectations

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  There is shocking news with this podcast that I hope will allow all of us to become healthier. 

This episode I will discuss coaching and being coached.  We are all  always learning.  During our time in formal education situations, it is assumed that the teacher knows best.  Do as they say, get a good grade, and proceed in achieving your goals.  We trust that they will provide accurate information to the best of their abilities.  It is expected that one completes the assignments to the best of their abilities.  Grades are assigned for performance.  But we learned in a stepwise fashion.  Simple addition before calculus.  Our exceptions were based on that progression.  Some of us developed a need to please or get good grades.  The reward being good grades, good job, and self esteem.  

As adults, we are still leaning at our own pace.  However, the information is infinite and abundant.  Only the individual knows the level of their current knowledge.  The coach has a singular goal to get the best results possible for a wide range of students.  We want to please the coach.  As adults, we can ask questions, but we still want to please the coach.  This applies to any learning situation.   

My job as a physician is to educate my patient-students.  They come from a wide variety of backgrounds and interests.  I also have a coach for ultra running.  None of us want to come up short in the eyes of the teacher.  The ultimate goal is good communication that allows everyone to learn from their own starting point.  That is what my practice has always been about.  Our success depends upon accurate feedback and adjustment from both the teacher and the student.

DHA is an omega 3 fatty acid that is abundant in the brain, the eye, and around the covering of nerves.  It is found in marine animals and algae.  Small amounts can be converted from plant sources of ALA like flaxseeds, hemp seeds, and chia seeds.  DHA levels have been found protective for mental health, cardiovascular health and immune health.  Have you passed the DHA test?  I have found that just consuming ALA is not adequate for good DHA levels in the majority of vegans.  That means some form of supplementation is necessary.  I will discuss this in this episode.  If you would like more information about how to address this issue, check our our website at doctordulaney.com

Jamie Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 533: Healing Through Purpose, Nature, and Endurance

Welcome and thank you for listening.

When life throws unimaginable challenges, how do we find resilience and true wellness? In this episode, we meet endurance athlete Dean Hall, who faced dual cancer diagnoses and chose a path of self-directed healing rooted in movement, purpose, and connection to nature. From grueling long-distance swims to mindful forest immersion, we explore how intentional lifestyle choices—nutrition, exercise, and mother nature—can support the body’s capacity to heal. This conversation is a testament to perseverance, curiosity, and the power of listening to both your body and the natural world.

As always, thanks for listening.

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 532: Coldwater Creek 50 K Recap

Welcome and Thank you for listening. 

This podcast is mainly about the Coldwater Creek 50k/ 33.2 mile trail race in Anniston Alabama.  

Good news: I finished

Better news: I finished with a bang and before the cutoff.   It was close.

If you have never stopped by Anniston Alabama, you should.  The people are wonderful and it is a beautiful little town with lots of trails for mountain biking, running and hiking.  There are also lots of rocks.

I have been plant based nearly 25 years.  I eat fruits and vegetable as close to their natural state as possible most of the time.  I do not sell supplement and believe the best way to get nutrients is from the food.  We do need a B12 supplement. I have spoken about the importance of Vitamin D from the sun but the potential need for supplementation.  That said eating a nutrient complete plant based diet takes some focus, and recently I have discovered some deficiencies that could easily be missed.  My practice aims at helping individuals achieve optimal health and wellness.  In the next few weeks, I will be diving into some of those details in this podcast.  For my members, we will be doing an extensive, tailored dive into their nutritional needs and how best to achieve them.  If you would like to learn more about our practice, visit the website at

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 531: Cholesterol Clarity, Movement, and the Mindset for Longevity

Welcome and thank you for listening.

We’re surrounded by quick fixes—new miracle drugs and health hacks promising easy solutions—but real wellness still comes back to lifestyle, movement, and mindfulness. In this episode, we explore the evolving conversation around cholesterol management, the true role of these medications, and what the latest research really tells us. Balance matters—cholesterol isn’t the enemy, and exercise, nutrition, and awareness of pre-diabetes are vital pieces of the puzzle. Inspired by Jane Goodall’s life lessons, this conversation is about curiosity, resilience, and taking responsibility for your health journey.

As always, thanks for listening.

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 530: Don't Know, or Do Know That is the Question

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.

How much do we need to worry about body scans and tests?  It seems our bodies are on autopilot until our forties.  Then there comes the recommended screenings and testing.  Our we doomed to our genetics so that we need to start screening to detect the inevitable at the earliest stage possible? What happens when we find an abnormality?  Intuitively, it seems we should put things to rest before they become a problem like getting new tires.  Some people think once you break the imaginary body seal, the problems all come rushing out.  

Today I will discuss when to be worried and when to maintain.  Overall, it is better to use your body than keep it on the couch and wonder if it will work when you need it.  

Eat clean plant based food and move outside is a much better choice than looking for imperfections that need to be eliminated.  Enjoy the podcast. 

Thanks for listening.

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 529: Attention to Detail, Resilience, and Real Results

Welcome and Thank you for listening.

What I have admired this week: The Power of Positive Thinking in Health. Staying healthy isn’t just about diet or exercise—it’s about mindset, planning, and the little details that add up over time. From Arnold Schwarzenegger’s laser focus on training to Dr. Vlek’s positive outlook, we see that real success comes from clear goals and consistent effort. Have you thought about whether your daily choices—like diet, exercise, or even getting enough sunlight and vitamin D—are really moving you forward?

Half-hearted efforts bring half-hearted results, so let’s commit, do the hard things, and enjoy the growth along the way. Have a listen, take a step toward your health today, and don’t forget to smile.

As always, thanks for listening.

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast: Episode 528: Do Hard Things with Grace

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. 

What I have admired this week: Doing Hard Things with Grace and Humility

We learn and grow more from doing hard things.  We all want to be healthy but want and desire alone does not get us that outcome.  Would you be willing to get healthier for free if a little effort was required? Have you ever stopped to ask if common practices make any difference at all in our health?  Take a multivitamin? Wear sunglasses? Wear sunscreen? Get a yearly physical?   Have a listen and then go do something hard and don't forget to smile. 

Thanks for listening.
