Welcome! and Thank you for listening.
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.

Welcome! and Thank you 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.

Welcome ! and Thank you for listening.
Are you planning for your decline or planning your next adventure? That adventure might mean a great day at the beach with your grandchildren or other adventures that require you to be active and mobile.
Today's podcast will give you some insight on things that may help or hinder those plans. Why be secluded to the sidelines when you could be an active participant in life?
In the Journal of Nature on May 2, 2024 there was an article discussing the most basic molecular changes with endurance training that affects a multitude of processes that have the potential to impact the health of the immune system, and organs such as the heart, kidneys, colon, brain and liver. There were positive changes at the genetic level with endurance training of just 8 weeks. What are you waiting for? That was not the case with omega 3 supplements or a fat pad around the heart.
Enjoy the episode and then plan for an active future. Need more guidance, then check our our website to see how we can guide you to your next adventure.
Thank you for listening.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. Have you ever heard someone say, what would you tell your thirty year old self? It is something like hind sight is 20:20. My perspective on the practice of cardiology and medicine has changed over the past 30 years because of experience but more so being able to relate to my patients life experiences.
Do you prefer to age gracefully or go full speed ahead into the unknown? Do you remember how alive the fellas in the movie felt doing the things on their bucket list? Do you think people even realize how bad they feel, if they can feel, on the handful of medications that they take everyday? How do you stay young at heart while keeping your heart young?
I believe life is full of challenges, and age should not stop you from living life fully. Doing the bucket list requires more training as we age. Notice I did not say it requires more testing or procedures. If you want to be excited about the possibilities ahead, listen to this episode and check our our website for information on how you can age robustly.
Thanks for listening.

Risk factors for Lifestyle diseases are increased BMI, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, sedentary lifestyle and metabolic dysfunction ranging from glucose intolerance to diabetes. Traditionally, younger people do not get lifestyle diseases because they may either have no risk factors or only have one. More and more younger people now have multiple risk factors in the presence of glucose intolerance. This places them at increased risk for the early development of lifestyle diseases.
Studies claiming that cholesterol is not bad often look towards a young population with no other risk factors. They may not manifest disease as quickly and it is assumed that they never will. Some may not but we just don't know. Often, we hang onto studies that support our nutritional choices even though we may not have anything in common with the study population. Risk factors are there and cumulative. Work on eliminating them and you might just avoid a lifestyle disease.
If you are interested in getting healthy by adopting a plant based lifestyle and daily exercise, give us a shout. We can get you on track.

My favorite lunch is a salad, and not the same salad every day. I like to change things up. Restaurants know that a salad is not exciting so they spruce it up with high calorie toppers and dressings. Often, they have more calories than a sandwich and fries. But, you can still tell the doctor, you just had a salad for lunch. I will let you in on my salad secrets on this episode. I will also give you a some more reasons to lace up your shoes and start walking. Finally, I will finish with the controversial topic of Vitamin D.

This is the weekend of the Masters Golf Tournament. To begin there was an honorary start with Tee shots by Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Tom Watson. Gary is the oldest at 88. He was the most spry and energetic. As a student of the game of golf, I would like to share my takes on the sport and how it relates to health. I believe Gary Player is an outlier, and here is why.
