Welcome! and Thank you for listening!. Today Addie Majnaric, RDN and I reflect on the three year anniversary of our plant based wellness practice. There is nothing better than to be able to work with your plant based registered dietitian, daughter. We are also very thankful for Barbara Dill, our front office person, and Dawn McMaster LPN, our plant based nurse. Barbara, Dawn and I have worked together for 22 years and Addie grew up with them in our medical practice.
The past three years have been a radical change from traditional cardiology that was largely hospital based with heart catheterizations and other procedures to a practice where nutrition class is at the heart of the practice. I could not be more happy to trade a catheter for a spatula!
The biggest change has been the reversal of lifestyle diseases instead of just trying to control ever progressing diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension. We are taking more people off of medications than prescribing new ones. Hospitalizations are rare in our patients that range from 31 to 98 years young. I have not had the need to do a heart catheterization in over 2 years!.
The nutrition class provides a community of like minded individuals looking for wellness through nutrition and movement. Our wellness challenges, developed by Addie Majnaric are aimed at making daily movement fun as well as a way to interact with others in the practice.
We have members around the country that take part in our weekly Zoom nutrition class where we cook a recipe together and discuss the latest topics in health and wellness.
I hope you find this anniversary podcast informative and entertaining. We are grateful for the opportunity to help our members achieve optimal health and wellness through our plant based family community.

You can purchase our cookbook that is used in class and at our home with recipes by the Doctor, the Dietitian, and the Diva.

Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 275: We all Struggle

Welcome! and Thank you for listening! Today I am going to share with you a few stories that you might just identify with. Sometimes, people think they have more trouble changing than others. Or perhaps they have more trouble with support than others. It is really not true.
Don't feel bad that your family does not support your nutritional choices. It is not you, it is them. They are not ready to change, and they don't want to admit they are struggling as well. No one want to be sick or overweight. They don't want to admit their food choices are making them sick.
However, you do deserve health and support. Perhaps we could declare the golden rule of nutrition. If you don't like mine, at least support me in my presence. If you are paying the bill, you get to choose. If it is your house, you get to choose. Eat your vegetables and fruit. Be kind to others. Respect your parents. You have the power to choose health even it others elect not to.

Do you eat fast food? Do you feed your dog fast food? Do you suffer from inflammatory diseases? How about your furry companion? The leading cause of taking a pet to the veterinarian is allergies or skin conditions. These conditions are often a manifestation of poor immune health. What are the contributing factors? What can we learn about ourselves by looking at our animal’s health?
This episode features Dr. Will Falconer, DVM. We discuss how nutrition and over preventative treatments leads to poor immune function in our pets, and how we can help them to regain their health. This is just another example of how important nutrition is to the health of people, animals ,and the planet. What we consume is directly reflected through our appearance, health and overall immune function.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. The perfect debate question to me is a problem defined. and then solved by the debating parties. We did not see much of that during this week's debate. So I have taken it upon myself to debate the healthcare issue. Firstly, it should be defined as sick care because there is little investment in health. How to make America healthy again? I believe it can be done without doing harm.
Let's address the obese elephant in the room shall we? Vaccine and safety? What are the risk vs benefits? What about skin in the health game? How much pain is needed to push someone to a healthier lifestyle? When does our choice affect others?
I will give you my opinion on many of these topics on this episode. Let's start with what we all have in common.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.
There are so many nutritional claims suggesting certain foods result in the best outcome. But what outcomes are they referring to? How much dietary change do you really need to do? Why change anyway?
Today’s discussion is about risk versus benefits. How do you personally measure health improvement? What is a reasonable health goal? What happens if you just roll the dice and do nothing?
I will give you six tips to improve your overall health, and the health of your fury friends. We will also discuss how your immune function is related to cancer, autoimmune disease, and infections.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. Will I live to be 100 if I am plant based? I have good genes so perhaps I don't need to worry. I exercise a lot so, I can eat what I want. Now and then, a little won't hurt you. These are all things that you hear people say in order to justify dietary choices. The reality is that there are many factors that go into longevity, and most people spin their own justifications for their behaviors.
I hope that after today's podcast, you will be able to answer some of the tough questions that are posed to people that have chosen to follow a plant strong lifestyle. The reality is that the incidence of obesity and poorly controlled hypertension is increasing. Our nation is becoming more and more unhealthy. I believe that eating a diverse plant based diet along with vigorous exercise is much better than rolling the dice on good genes or ones ability to outrun a poor diet and lifestyle. ,

Welcome! and Thank you for listening! When did you begin to feed yourself? What exactly does that mean? A Poptart, a cheese burger and fries and a pizza? Do you think Hamburger helper makes a meal complete? Do you think about minerals and vitamins when you plan your meals? Do you even need to?
This is the topic I did a deep dive into on today’s podcast. I believe part of why plant-based nutrition seems so impossible to some people is that they believe most important nutrients come from animal products. Meat may be considered an all-encompassing nutrient source. Perhaps eating animal products takes the guess work out of nutrition. You will learn it comes at a high price for your health.
I hope you enjoy the podcast. Check out our website at doctordulaney.com to find out how we can help to clear the fog on the practice of nutrition and how it relates to our health. Email me at jami@doctordulaney.com with questions.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening! When can you call yourself a runner? Do you have to win a race, run a marathon or just show up? Do you think of running as punishment or something other people do?
Today's interview features Dana Ayers, a US Navy reservist, management consultant and you guessed it, runner. To her, running is an adventure. A way to explore and face unknowns. She was not a high school or college runner. She considers herself a back of the pack runner who takes it all in and enjoys the unexpected experiences along the way.
This was a fun interview that showcases the need to have fun and joy with a little wellness thrown in. I hope you enjoy my chat with Dana.
You can purchase her paperback on Amazon, download the Kindle version and soon listen to the Audible version at

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. Who domesticated who? Our canine friends are most likely descendants from wolves over 14,000 years ago. In fact, when people say you look like your dog, they are not that far off genetically when you look at our shared microbial DNA.
Some of my veterinarian collogues are realizing the importance of nutrition when it comes to canine health. They too have very little nutrition training and are swayed by industry when it comes to marketed food and supplement products.
Both the canine and human species are very resilient and can survive on a wide range of diets for some time before adverse health effects start to occur.
How do we care for our animal companions and ourselves with regard to optimal health and wellness? It is a path with many questions and challenges. I hope you enjoy my ramblings about what I have learned and experienced.
