Welcome! and Thank you for listening.
Patients rights. Informed consent. Who really benefits from these concepts? If I inform you of the risks and benefits they are supposed to be to the best of my knowledge. You would need to know the depth of my knowledge to fully understand that. The other problem is when people are in destress or pain, they often only hear the first sentence or so. Their minds are racing with their own questions and concerns. Living often trumps some discomfort or chance of survivable injury. I often hear that my doctor is the best. He is one of the top in the world. Back room news, there is no contest or ranking of the best. Brick and mortar institutions carry little guarantee of the best. They are often the most political and often owe quite a bit to their funding organizations. Bottom line, stay healthy. If you do become ill, do your research. Bottom line, it is better to stay healthy.
Staying healthy requires taking some responsibility. If you want to decrease risk, improve your baseline health. How? Plant based nutrition and exercise. The other key to success is being your own cheerleader. No one has your ear better than your own inner voice. You can do it. One more step. Anybody can walk 3 miles. I get to see the sun rise while exercising. It is all self talk. Positive or negative. You get to choose, and that choice affect your health greatly. Enjoy the podcast. Thanks for listening.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. What are your health journey goals?
How about your movement goals? Do you have a plan to achieve the goals or are you just floating through life hoping for a good outcome? Most people are told that you cannot reverse lifestyle diseases. They just happen and you must adjust to taking medications and being a "patient". I do not believe that is the truth. However, you must have a specific plan and monitor your progress as you go along.
This is where devices come in. You have to actually use them instead of collect them. A dusty scale does not hold you accountable or help monitor fluid balance. Continuous glucose monitoring only helps if you use the information to adjust your intake. You must use the data in real time. Smart watches are great to track heart rate during exercise and at rest. But you have to wear them and active them with exercise and then look at the data. By doing this, you can get an idea of what your baseline numbers are and then track the changes over time.
Consistency is key. Intermittent attention to the plan results in yo yo results and no forward progress.
The sky is the limit. Take on challenges and make a plan. If you would like us to help you, check out the website at doctordulaney.com

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. What does a 100 mile grueling trail race have to do with wellness?
Community, mindfulness, endurance, grace, grounding, connection with others, and connection with nature are just a few words that come to mind. I experienced them all on a volunteer level and the runners and crews experienced them exponentially.
Dig deep, you can do more than you think you can are words of the race founder, Ken Chlouber. Those are things to do when motivation deserts you. And as he says, motivation will desert you when you need it most.
Can't, try, and it is too difficult, are things that we hear too often in the regular world. Comfort and easy will not be there for you when times get tough. Yet, most of us prefer comfort and easy. Hacks to make life more simple. Prepared food, take out, and pleasure of the palate are what we turn to when motivation leaves us at the alter.
I hope you enjoy my recount of my time volunteering on Hope Pass at 12,100 ft above sea level in a place where only legs will get you, where the air is fresh, and the view is heavenly.
Congratulations to all of the racers at the Leadville 100 mile trail race. You are an example to all of us. Thank you for allowing me a glimpse into your adventure.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.
Camp Mom Mom is over and we are headed out to Leadville to volunteer at the 100 mile trail race at Hope Pass. Perhaps, we will see you there.
Is your weekly exercise good enough to reduce cardiovascular disease and cancer? Do you know what moderate aerobic activity, moderate to vigorous aerobic activity, moderate strength activity means in terms of duration and level of exertion. Tune in. You pickle ball folks are in for a shocker.
What foods are high in niacin? Is a high HDL a good thing?
Most people listening to this podcast agree nutrition can promote or decrease lifestyle diseases. But what about the clothes we wear? BPA is a hormone disruptor linked to many cancers. It is found in cans, plastic bottles, pipes and resins. But did you know your sports bra and tights may also be a significant source?
Thanks for listening.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.
I am a plant based practicing allopathic physician. I see people in the office, the hospital, the nursing home, at home and virtually. I am at my best in person. My job is to educate and to support. I graduated in 1987 and I have been a doctor everyday since then. My goal is to help people heal and do no harm. Practicing, observing, learning, and questioning. It is not an algorithm or a protocol. Everyone has their own health journey and their own life journey which makes them unique. AI cannot understand the life experiences of a patient and understand what they may feel is best for them.
To do no harm is sometimes in the eye of the beholder. Harm relative to what? Treat or not to treat? Who is ultimately responsible. Medical decisions are never easy. Everyone's path is unique. Health span is a partnership and the journey is what you make of it. Find someone that helps you define the health journey that supports your wishes. You have more control than you think you do.

The Silver Rush 50 Mile Trail race is in the books. Finish time 13:41:42 . Third place in the 60-69 age group category. It was definitely the hardest race I have done to date not only the distance but terrain and altitude.
There are controversies around running ultra distances. Is it healthy? Can it even cause coronary artery disease? Does it shorten life? I believe that is a reductionist way of thinking about it. In a time where people are looking for longevity and life "hacks", the easy way out, and guaranteed outcomes, ultra running certainly is frowned upon.
After all, who would drive from sea level to a remote area at 10,000 feet to run to 12,000 ft four different times for a distance of 49.2 miles (that is what my watch said). It was hard and I got tired and dirty. I was racing the clock to finish within cut off times. My heart rate was elevated into the 130s for 14 plus hours. I drained the glycogen from my body.
I saw some of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the world. The air was clean and smelled of pine. The sky was bright blue and the mountain tops were covered in snow. There were wildflowers growing and clear streams. There were over 800 runners pushing their limits cheering each other on because it was about doing your best and wanting that for other Leadville family runners as well. It was dealing with adversity mentally and physically. Choosing strong over weak. It was meditation. It was celebrating a life worth living to the fullest. It was about the joy of being free from the mundane distractions of the world. It was about being alive and back to nature. It was regaining what humans were meant to do: move. Thank you Leadville family for welcoming me with open arms.
Did my coronary calcium score go up this weekend? I know my love of life, other humans, and sense of wellbeing did. That is all that matters. I hope you enjoy listening to my story of the Silver Rush 50 mile trail race.
Thank you for listening.

Virtues: Perseverance, Patience, Courage, Accountability, and Practical Wisdom
How do these virtues apply to plant based nutrition and movement?
Pride, Envy, and Intemperance. How do these impede our success in attaining ultimate health and wellness.
Dr. Sabrina Little wrote an article in IRunFar.com applying those virtues to sport.
Transitioning to a plant based healthy lifestyle is a growth over time for most of us. There are obstacle we don't even know exist until we begin. The path is not perfect but filled with twists and turns. I hope you enjoy my lament on a more virtuous path to plant based nutrition. It might even help your running or favorite sport.
