Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 295: Choose Your Reward Wisely

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. 

Do you give yourself little rewards?  Cheat days? Treats for good behavior? Have you had someone give you rewards along the way for your biggest achievements?  I bet not.  It seems our "little rewards" along the way often derail our ultimate goals.  For the most part, people don't regret the rewards, but are surprised they failed to achieve their ultimate goal.  I sincerely hope your ultimate goal is not a bag of chips.  We will ponder that this episode, and I will discuss a few matters of the heart, like hypertension.  

Join Addie and I this Thursday, March 25, at 5:30 pm for a zoom conference on fermentation and your gut.  I will be demonstrating my favorite recipe for making a starter to pulling the loaf out of the oven.  Addie will be making a tempeh reuben while discussing how your fermented dishes can improve your gut health.  Go on over to doctordulaney.com to purchase your tickets.  I cannot wait to meet you!

Thanks for listening!

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 293: Let's be healthy Vegans!

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  

Healthy people, healthy animals, and a healthy planet.  What could be better.  This episode summarizes the points in my Vegefest Presentation at the Punta Gorda, Vegefest.  

The risk factors for lifestyle disease, heart disease, and infectious disease outcomes are largely the same.  Controlling a risk factor is not the same as eliminating it.  Just smoking a few cigarettes does not make a lot of progress.  Being physically fit or eating plant based is not as good as being physically fit AND eating plant based.  

We are all on a journey to optimal health and fitness.  You start where you are and make changes.  One step forward at a time.  Enjoy the journey and savor each step as you prepare for the next one.  

Check out our website at doctordulaney.com to see how we might help you on your journey to health.  While you are there, get your ticket for our Zoom Conference March 25, 2021 to learn how to make sourdough bread and a tempeh reuben sandwich as we discuss health and the gut.  

See you there!  Thanks for listening. 

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 292: Let's Prevent Heart Disease

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  

A recent study showed a death rate for the first heart attack of 17.8 % over 28 days.  62.3% of those deaths occurred in the first 24 hours. 

Are you at risk, or only the old folks need worry?  The truth is that over the past decade the number of heart attacks are decreasing but they are occurring at younger ages.  The deaths from cancer and heart disease in those younger than 65 are approaching each other especially in women.  

The biggest risk for heart attacks and strokes is diabetes and PRE Diabetes.  You know, the don't worry you are only borderline diabetic kind.   Those ads on TV stating you can decrease your glucose or HgA1C with certain medications never mention a decrease in heart attacks, because they don't.  

Diabetes is a risk for atrial fibrillation and embolic strokes as well as ischemic strokes.  You never hear the pharmaceutical companies say their medications can reverse that risk.  

My best advise: plant based nutrition and exercise.  Big changes are needed to get the best results.  It is not for a short time but for a life time.

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 291: Happy Valentines/Heart Day!

Welcome! and Thank you for listening!  Happy Heart Month and Happy Valentines Day.

I would like to share a few secrets to keep your Valentine around longer and perhaps healthier.  It does not involve sugary candies or expensive meals.  Make eggs a hard no.  Not just the ones in a skillet covered with cheese, but the ones hidden in pastries, and breaded items in the freezer section.  

Just say no to dairy.  It is a highlighted ingredient on the back of packaged foods in the ingredient list.  It is quick.  Look on the back.  If it says dairy, put it back.  

Keep the fat content ideally at 10%.  Don't be fooled by the fat grams in the nutrition label.  If a serving size is 100 calories and there are 5 grams of fat by weight, it translates to 45% fat. (9 kcal/g x 5 grams fat).  It is not an option.  

You only have to read a few labels to get the hint.  The chip and cracker isle is more than 10% fat.  Don't bother going there.  Not to worry you will get the "good fat" from kale, beans and whole grains.

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast: Yes Plant Based is Best for Decreasing Heart Disease

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  It is heart month!  There is no better way to reverse and prevent heart disease than eating a plant based diet.  Reduce cholesterol, inflammation, and blood pressure all why decreasing your risk for other lifestyle diseases. 

Why does it take a heart attack or stroke to get someones attention?  Perhaps we think we are the one human on the planet that can get away with eating poorly and still remain healthy. (define healthy)  Most people share this optimism yet are in general very pessimistic about a lot of things that they cannot possibly change.   The paradox is real.  

Today's episode: plain facts why plant based is best.  Super bowl Sunday healthy food ideas, and proof you can turn back the clock on heart disease.

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 289 with Chis Wark: Chris Beat Cancer

Welcome! and Thank you for listening!

Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Chris Wark who has put colon cancer in the rear view mirror for 17 years!  He decided not to go with traditional chemotherapy and instead took a deep dive into diet and lifestyle changes.  

Medical decision making is very difficult especially when dealing with a frightening diagnosis of cancer.  I believe this episode will give everyone the courage and confidence to ask questions and take charge of their health whether you are dealing with an illness or are trying to live as healthy as possible.

January is the month for weight loss.  Get it off and move on.  Or, return to eating like you want to.  That is not the recipe for health, but a quick fix at best.

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 287: Mark Your Calendar

Welcome! and Thank you for listening!. 

Accountability comes in many forms; friends, family, and perhaps self.  I love the concept of self accountability using a calendar.  Write it down daily to keep it true and to be able to self check week to week and year to year.  Today, I will give you some tips on how this form of journaling can help to you to positively improve steadily over time.  

Vitamin D: It is more than just for your bones.  It is vital to your immune system.  Find out how it works and how you might get a little added protection against COVID-19 and other illnesses.  

We had our Healthy Start New Year Zoom this week featuring simple but healthy plant based versions of standard breakfast, lunch and dinner menus.  The feedback was such that we plan on offering different topics in the future.  If you have a suggestion, please email me at jami@doctordulaney.com.

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 286: Covid, Fasting, and Immunity

Welcome! and Thank you for listening!

Feed a fever; starve a fever?  If you can sit up and take nourishment, you are going to be ok?  What are good food choices when ill? 

I am recovering from COVID-19.  Yes I had a positive PCR test and the symptoms.  Ten days I returned to work, and I am beginning to resume my running at a slow and cautious amount and pace.  

Today I will discuss fasting and illness and the benefits from fasting with regard to immune health.  One thing we know for sure is that being overweight increases the severity of COVID and other illnesses secondary to chronic inflammation and an overtaxed immune system.  

It is still possible to purchase a ticket to our Zoom nutrition conference January 13, 2021.  Go on over to doctordulaney.com for details.  Email me at jami@doctordulaney.com with questions.  We would love to help you introduce someone to the health benefits of plant based nutrition or jump start your own journey.  We will be cooking 6 meals and discussing their nutrition as well as a general Q and A session.  Don't miss out!
