Welcome! and Thank you for listening. When things are going well, there is a flow state. We are in "The Zone". Funny how it does not happen too often. But when it does, we seem to accomplish our goals with minimal efforts. The other times we are trouble shooting. Try anything to make things better. Force the right gait, the right swing, the right nutrition plan. We buy hundreds of dollars of groceries that go to waste because we have no idea how to use them. We try six different swing mechanics at once. We change shoes, gait, and arm movements all at the same time. How do we stop the music!
Pause. . . .
What is the frustrating event. What are the facts and what is our mind interpreting as reality?

What is a whole food? What is a clean food? Those terms are thrown around with authority and ultimately blend into just food. If you ask most people on a diet, they will throw out that they are eating 1200 calories a day. That seems to be the magic number that has stuck in the diet world. Apps are available that helps one to prove a point. They are only as good as what is entered. I have never had a person tell me that they consumed 3000 calories in a day, but I am sure it happens on a regular basis and more often than 1200 calories. What about the weight of food? Does a pound of chips have the same amount of energy as a pound of potatoes? What about a pound of carrots.
It turns out that vegetables, tubers, and fruit contain about the right amount of calories per pound for humans to consume and maintain a healthy weight. It also turns out that we as a society do not burn near the calories as a typical hunter-gatherer society. It is also true that men burn more calories per pound of body weight than women.
I hope you enjoy the episode. It you would like help matching your energy consumption with your energy usage, email me at jami@doctordulaney.com.
Thanks for listening.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.
What will you do with the results of a test? How will you react? I was very happy to see normal bones and joints on a recent CT scan of my leg, but it did not show the source of my ankle pain. Good news! Nothing bad. I can return to training. It could also be interpreted as I am still in pain and don’t know why. I am taking the win and I am grateful. It is good to exclude bad things even if you do not know exactly what the problem is. The odds are in your favor for a good outcome. Testing and procedures are a game of risk and reward. Having a plan for the outcome before diving in is always a good idea.
Walking an hour a day is good, but how fast do you need to go? However, how fast your heart rate goes up is also important.
I take a little dive into these topics as well as some tropical fruit suggestions.

Pills, potions and procedures aimed at curing ailments. The web is full of devices and programs that promise pain relief, younger bodies, and happier lives. Miracles by definition are not a common occurrences, yet they are promised daily. It is hard not to give them a try. Nothing to loose they say, but often the disappointment is not too long thereafter. I have gone down that road as well many times. A little glimmer of hope to a solution that is much more complicated than it originally seemed. My latest running injury is such an example. Insoles or a shoe change for instant relief, running hard to clear the cobwebs that might be the issue, bounce house jumping to better mobility, or sand dune running perhaps.
In the end we realize there is no quick fix. But there is the opportunity to learn and do the work it takes to really make a change. They don't say patience is a virtue for no good reason.
Eating an plant based diet and getting stronger can only help. It is not quick, but the rewards are many. I will share a few reasons on this podcast. Add another box of tofu to the basket, and I hope you enjoy the podcast. We would love to help you and your family tradition to become healthier and stronger.

The new word is extreme with regard to diet choice. Moderation is out! The reality is, it was never in. The abundance of food choices has grown making moderation only an imaginable concept. I think it is good to always be open to change that supports your goals. Perhaps your goals change requiring nutritional changes, or change is needed to support your existing goals. None the less, you need to be mindful of your why in order to achieve those goals when the going gets tough. There is constant input for "the best" diet that has no way of knowing your nutritional needs or why.
Be aware of headlines beginning with "study shows" or "experts suggest". It becomes a slippery slop to find what is actually behind the headlines.
I think the best place to start is to clearly define your goals and the reason or why you have chosen them. Nutrition needs change over time. Growing children need different amounts of nutrients that adults. Nursing and pregnant women have different needs. So do people recovering from injury or surgeries. The problem is that nutritional choices don't always show up immediately. People blame high school and college sports injuries for joint pain 25 years later but never implement their nutritional choices.
Today, I reflect on my nutrition choices and how my life might have been different following a plan of moderation. If you would like some help guiding nutritional changes to meet your health goals, check out our website at https://doctordulaney.com/services/pcp-cardiology-nutrition/#pricing

This episode gives you a glimpse into running in the mountains of Leadville. I like hard things and I believe we can do just about anything we put our minds to. You can do more than you think you can is the motto of the Leadville Race Founder Ken Chlouber. Why not me? Why not you?
I believe the key to a long health span is staying strong and eating plant based. The Prevent study looks at a formula to calculate the 10 year risk of having a cardiac event. Those risk factors need to be reversed not medicated. One thing for sure is that grass fed butter is not the answer.

We have been conditioned to believe that discomfort or an illness can only be fixed by a procedure or medication. It is out of our hands. Allopathic reductionist medicine created that concept making us dependent. Our only hope is early detection of illnesses sure to happen.
Dementia is another issue all together. It is all to familiar and there appears to be no stopping the progression once it starts. That holds true for medications at least. Early testing results in a longer period to worry about the future. Most people believe it is genetics and bad luck. Dean Ornish, MD recently published a randomized controlled trial showing improvement in early dementia symptoms and biomarkers using a plant based diet along with exercise and stress management. This preliminary study is wonderful news to support a basic whole foods plant based diet. No gimmicks or need for specialized foods. No fancy exercise protocols. Just basic good nutrition and movement with attention to mindfulness.
The bottom line is the more effort you make, the better the results. Consistency is key just like in any other lifestyle change. That is the hard part because so many people are looking for a quick fix that requires no changes on their part. However, if you would like to take control of your healthspan, check out our website.

Can you bank longevity? What about fitness? Improving fitness at any age will help to increase your health span which may translate into more time living an active and independent life. This is not just for seniors because heart muscle starts to deteriorate in the early forties along with heart function. Blood vessels stiffness while you are eating at your favorite fast food restaurant.
More worrisome news about GLp-1 agonists and the ketogenic diet. Oh and don't believe your keto doctor if he tells you he is getting adequate fiber.
Finally, thank you to my 90 year old patients. You have always been the most loyal and humble group of people I have had the pleasure to learn from. As a song once said human kindness is overflowing. I think it might rain today.

We age and our cells age. About every three months our red blood cells turn over for example. What happens to the old cells? How do we eliminate them? Our immune system plays a vital role in eliminating old cells or senescent cells. Unfortunately, our immune system also slows down so we start to accumulate these "zombie" senescent cells. This month Nature magazine discusses new drugs and repurposed drugs to eliminate these cells. However, these medications also have side effects and substantial costs. Since we all age, should everyone start these medications or do we wait until there is a problem like diabetes, Alzheimers, or vascular disease? Another alternative might be to decrease the amount of zombie cells in the first place or protect our immune system so it functions longer.
You guest it. Nutrition and exercise play a key role as an alternative to decrease zombie cell accumulation.
Thanks for listening.

I was fortunate to go to Blue Ridge and Blairsville Georgia this past weekend to toe the line at the Cruel Jewel 50 mile ultra race. The ultra running community are my people. Tenacious, positive, and tremendous athletes all humble at the same time. It did not goes as I would have wished for, but it did go for how I was trained. I got to see where I was at a fitness level and experience some of the most beautiful and peaceful forests. That area crosses the Appalachian trail. People on the trail give other hikers trail names. I had a trail angel this weekend. I gave him the name of Russ Angel because of time he gave to rescue me and others after we pulled the white flag. I hope you enjoy my trail tails. It was a great weekend despite coming up short.
Ultra running and life are so much alike. You need a plan and you need to work the plan. When it does not work, you need to adjust the plan. The bottom line is forward progress. Maybe not that day, but the next day it is time to get back on the journey whether it is trail or health. If you would like some help with your health journey, visit our website to fine out how you can join our practice.
Thank you to Russ Marlowe and Sandy Geisel for your support. Shout out to Rich and Tony and the swanky red pick-up. Thank you to Sarah Snyder and her staff as the race director. Like Sarah says, poor decisions make for better stories. She is most famous for saying, try not to be an asshole. Words to live by. Thank you.
