Welcome! and Thank you for listening. Finally we have a randomized controlled study on a plant based diet versus an omnivore diet. It was only 2 months, but it gives a lot of information to contemplate.
We are by history omnivores. That means we digest meat, dairy, fruit, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds. Buts should we? The problem with most studies is that they rely on food diaries. As you well know, they are highly inaccurate. People report what they think you want to hear or the supposed "right answer" a lot of the time, and this has even been shown in numerous psychological studies. However, in this short study, the food was supplied. They also had a twin to keep them honest and compete with.
In as little as 2 months, the plant based twins saw a statistically significant improvement over the omnivore group with regard to lifestyle disease risk factors and weight.
Two month or 8 weeks!. They saw results. The debate is over. It works if you do it. The if is the big question. How do you sustain a healthy plant based diet? It is not as hard as some people would like you to believe. You don't need potato starch paper to put supplements on to swallow. You don't need to eat dehydrated soup for every meal or count your blueberries. You need a goal and simple meals.
I am training for a 100 mile foot race on plants. My recovery is excellent. My muscles are not wasting. My energy is good. Take your own challenge. Surprise your doctor. Surprise your friends. Learn more about our practice. Join us to spread the health. Visit the website at doctordulaney.com

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. Today I have a guest, Dr. Matt Minard. He is a physical therapist that specializes in running injury prevention and running mechanics. There is a high incidence of runners that get injured. Some would say that that is an excuse not to run. However, the benefits of running markedly outweigh the risk of injury. In fact, runners have a less frequency of joint replacement than non-runners. Running has been associated with a decreased risk of not only cardiovascular disease but cancer and cancer recurrence. This is most likely from the anti-inflammatory benefits as well as the long-term reduction in sympathetic tone as seen in decrease blood pressure and heart rate. The sense of well-being or perhaps runners high is associated with anti-depressant effects, and studies have shown that running can be a healthier alternative to medications.
The problem with running is that we tend to do too much too quick whether that is volume or speed. The most common injuries come from early stress to the small tendons, bones and ligaments that support our weight. The biggest fallacy is permanent knee injury. Most knee injuries are again associated with ligaments and tendons and not destruction of the joint.
Most injuries arise from or are exacerbated by faulty mechanics. A child runs perfect until we put clunky shoes on them. Because we become more sedentary as we age, we are prone to more injuries when we suddenly take to running at a later age.
Enter Dr Matt Minard. He will share with us today some ques for more efficient and safer running with the goal of extending our running longevity for many years to come. He has a podcast for those who like to listen, but I would suggest his Instagram clips and YouTube videos for excellent training tips and demonstrations. He also does private analysis of running form and coaching if you become interested. I hope you enjoy the podcast.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. Today I am joined by Addie Majnaric, RDN to discuss Thanksgiving Survival Tips.
We will discuss Thanksgiving Dish Substitutes as well as hidden ingredients in what may seem like a plant based dish.
Thanksgiving food and overeating is not just hard on your waistline but can be very hard on your heart. The sodium in a day's worth of overindulgent foods can very quickly make the blood pressure skyrocket, and the water retention can lead to heart failure. A few quick tips can go a long way to keep you healthy.
The holiday season can be very stressful. Honesty is the best policy. Being with your family and friends is of utmost importance. The first step is to tell people how much they mean to you and how much you enjoy their company. However, you also need to ask for their support in your food choices. Make it easy and bring a few dishes as possible. Keep the food talk minimal and light. It is not the time for a health lecture.
If you get through this first feasting holiday, you will have the confidence to continue on your health journey. Make every day count. It is the people that make the holiday not the food.
Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving from all of us at Jami Dulaney, MD Health and Wellness Practice.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. This podcast features author and chemist Mel Weinstein.
After working in industry for many years he became fascinated with processed food ingredients. He shared that every ingredient in food has a purpose. Most are to provide shelf life, texture, and stability. As time has passed more of these ingredients are derived from a chemical reaction versus plant source extraction.
Certain ingredients are listed just by acronyms that stand for long chemical names that would take up too much space and possibly raise suspicion.
TBHQ-Tert-butylhydroquinone-prolonged or high exposures can cause DNA damage or tumors.
Datem-diacetyl tartaric acid-food emulsifier for springy texture
BHA-butylated hydroxyanisole-it is a chemically derived antioxidant that can become rancid over time.
BHT-butylated hydroxytoluene-chemically derived antioxidant or shelf stabilizer.
Mel’s interest was so peaked that he dedicated over a year to research the additives at three fast food restaurants: Taco Bell, McDonalds, and Pizza Hut. Enjoy the back-room chemistry secrets to the ingredients you never notice or even thought about.
Thanks for listening.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. The Austin Rattler 50K trail run is in the books. The race venue was Reveille Peak Ranch which is a 1300 acre ranch which hosts various endurance events and even hunting courses.
Three 10 mile loops to completion on various terrains made it a very interesting event. Ultra running is a series of trouble shooting events that include navigation, nutrition, pacing, and mental focus. It is also a day to play outside. I had a few new trouble shooting experiences to share.
One thing we all need is to move, to play, and to be socially interactive. This race was what I needed to change my focus and absorb good energy from the other runners and great outdoors.
I hope you enjoy my recap of the race as it relates to life's challenges. If you would like to know more about how our practice promotes health and the ability to do hard things, go to doctordulaney.com

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.
Social media is filled with perfection and success stories. But what about the outtakes? What about the slip ups? Live is an individual journey with bumps and curves. Why do we always expect it to go exactly how we dream of it to go? In 90 days you to can......We always get suckered into thinking the rest of the people do it with ease and yet we have to struggle. That does not mean to give up on dreams and goals. It just means that we will have to navigate the obstacles along the way.
There are many obstacles in the way of good health. The path is a little different for all of us. However, there are a few common keys to success.
Optimal health and wellness does not come from a procedure, a pill, a cream, or from a box. It is not without effort, and that means a little sweat and inconvenience. It is not without setbacks and obstacles.
If you are up for a little effort, I believe we can support your journey though plant based eating and daily movement to optimum health and wellness. Enjoy the podcast. Thank you for listening. Email me at jami@doctordulaney.com and visit our website at doctordulaney.com

Welcome! and Thank you for listening!
Today I have a guest interview with Greg Schnoor. He is a brain cancer survivor and ultramarathon runner. He was diagnosed inadvertently with brain cancer in his thirties while undergoing evaluation for recurring sinus infections. His first reaction was how will my children remember me? He attributes his success on a persistent positive mental attitude and running. Running long. He took up running during his chemotherapy and has never quit.
Running with Cancer is an inspiring book even if you don't run or don't have cancer. The basic premise is savoring. Savoring each moment in life and finding the positive in every situation.
Life is too short to sit on the sidelines. I hope this book allows you to savor each day making memories that will last for lives to come.

Who had a better memory, Popeye or Olive? How about Brutus? I will give you a hint, Wimpy was in big trouble. Today's episode I will discuss strength vs. muscle mass or size when it comes to protecting your brain from decline. The good news is that you can still improve the most important thing at any age with some effort of course.
In our comfortable world not only do we lack sun exposure, mental and physical challenges, and socialization, but it is contributing to cognitive weakness. Mental decline. When you cannot remember what you had for dinner last nite it is more concerning than just pleading the 5th on your dietary indiscretions.
If you are looking for a cure for your ailments in pill form, beware of the back door side effects that may be irreversible. Quick pill and procedure fixes often lead to more pills and procedures. We will talk about a few new medications and their mounting lists of side effects.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. How much of the time do you only hear the first sentence? How often do you only hear what is pleasant? Better yet, how often do you translate what is said into what you want to hear? That is why lawyers make the big bucks, and doctors "practice" medicine".
When it comes to preventing and reversing lifestyle diseases, I have no doubt that eating fruits and vegetables will not hurt you. I gave a lecture at a high school once and the first question was then what about pot? It is a plant. There are always exceptions and derivatives that push boundaries. The diet police can really make life complicated to the point where a lot of people give up. The cold hard reality is that there is no plant that will make you live forever. There are some poisons that will definitely shorten your life. And there is a whole lot of room in between.
In today's podcast I am going to look at sweeteners including commercial icings. I am going to address risks and benefits of procedures and bumps in the road. I hope that this episode will make your decisions a little easier to navigate. If you like my approach, head on over to the website at doctordulaney.com.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. If you would like to get some nutrition or medical advice, just tell someone you are plant based. They will tell you all the things that you will be deficient in and how keto has worked well for them. Of course, they are currently on a break or having a cheat day, but it still works for them.
It is pretty rare to have someone listen to your story and just say, good for you. I was fortunate enough to have my father give me a great piece of advice. Make a decision and own it. That advise is a little easier if the decision is something that is of shorter duration, but what if that decision puts you at a crossroads in life? When it comes to medical decisions, we try to rely on scientific data and statistics to get the best outcome. However, it is very difficult to apply statistics of a group to one individual.
You are unique. Your life experience and values are unique. All the AI in the world cannot make the correct choice for you. Only you can decide, and that is something you can own. You write your own story based on your health care decisions. It is your story based on your perceptions of what is right for you. The science is flawed and biased because it is conducted by humans that are learning along with their biases and interpretations. The best outcome from a study may not be the one you get. However, there is a lot you can do to have the outcome you desire.
I hope you enjoy this episode and find peace in your medical decision making. You get to write your own story. Make it a good one.
