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.

Welcome! and Thank you 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.

Who are you? What story do you use to answer that question? Perhaps your story fits who you are but not who you wish to be. Today's podcast is about changing the story to become more healthy. Our story can help us accept our circumstances, but we often forget we are the authors of our future selves.
Changing who you are is about changing your story. Did a health crisis change your story? Health care providers are at a very high risk of planting seeds to change people's story. Perhaps you were active then had an accident. The doctor said you have bad knees. You rewrite your story to fit your bad knees. You cannot run, walk, or do sports. You gain weight because of your bad knees. You no longer enjoy travel because of your knees. Your story totally changes because of what your doctor said about your knees.
Today's episode is about changing your story. It certainly is not easy. But the joy of becoming the Real You is worth a little suffering. It is not a kick start or quick fix, it is a change in focus. A change in your story that can lead your to a healthier life. Have a listen. Thank you.

Telomeres are the end caps on DNA that protect it from unraveling. They can be measure in white blood cells to determine their length. The shorter they become, the more likely for the DNA to start to develop errors. This leads to failure of the bodies organs and functions i.e. aging. It has recently been linked to the risk of developing heart failure.
There is another blood test that looks for DNA fragments in the plasma of the blood that is associated with colon cancer. Detecting advanced cancers is pretty good. It is not so good at detecting early treatable cancers. It is just a blood test. However, it is not perfect so what will you do with the results.
If a breast cancer tumor expresses estrogen receptors then inhibiting estrogen should decrease the cancer growth. How much is enough?
All of the above sound like reasonable tests and solutions. But do they prolong survival ? Very few studies actually look at overall survival resulting from an intervention. They look at disease free survival, or tumor regression, or ability to diagnosis a cancer. It seems as though a diagnosis could lead to more rapid treatment or more aggressive treatment would lead to a better outcome. But what are the downsides of a therapy or early diagnosis that might ultimately lead to side effects that shorten lifespan or decrease quality of lifespan.
Doing something and being aggressive are seen as positive interventions. Why don't we view lifestyle changes in the same way?
Aerobic exercise and strength training positively affects muscle mass, mitochondrial function, mental well being, and lifespan with very few side effects.
