Welcome back to the Every Day Health Hacker channel, today we will be discussing Mobility is Life with special guest. Kelly Spencer, owner of Silver Fitness.  Many patients ask what type of exercise and how to get started on a wellness journey to prevent osteoporosis. The earlier the better, we always encourage. As we become mature in our life and our bones, we can loose muscle tone and loose bone strength, as our bones start to decrease the amount of new bone created our old bone literally sticks around. You have heard on our previous videos, that many treatments today for osteoporosis will just keep old bone around which can cause fracture, loss of teeth, many individuals even loose the dental implants they have had placed. Our bones are truly the foundation of our strength and to be able to lift up our arms to the top shelf of a counter, or step up stairs, we want to be able to do so comfortably with steadiness and strength.  Activity is life!

Outdated or Expired Medications are always a question at the doctor's office, especially when a patient is on a weekend outing away from major retail stores, they ask can this medication "still" be taken? It's a great question! Many studies have shown that tablets and capsules even 10 years are greater than 88% effective. Longer shelf lives of medications sitting in your cabinets loose their potency and efficacy. A Law was passed in 1979 for pharmaceutical drug manufactures to require a date to 'guarantee' full potency and safety. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov (Drug expiry debate:the myth and the reality- PMC) The Shelf Life Extension Program (SLEP) was started by the FDA for the Department of Defense to order to help cut costs https://www.fda.gov/emergency-preparedness-and-response/mcm-legal-regulatory-and-policy-framework/expiration-dating-extension SLEP is used in order for preparedness for our military and natural disasters like earthquakes, viral outbreaks, hurricanes, tornados and more. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)  Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) oversees the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS). In helping to prepare for natural emergencies it is also what brings Emergency Use guidelines, we all remember that from COVID.

Update from 2023: Heat exhaustion is less serious than heatstroke also sometimes called sunstroke.  Symptoms of heat exhaustion can occur quickly or over a few days. Many patients will call complaining of leg cramping here is a list of symptoms: Heat exhaustion can lead to: - headaches   - muscle cramping - nausea and vomiting - excessive sweating and cold clammy skin - on occasion a decreased pulse and feelings of weakness - dizziness and sometimes fainting - dark-colored urine can occur from dehydration It's important to note that heat exhaustion can be alleviated with hydration and moving to cooler temperatures  indoors.  Heatstroke is a life threatening medical emergency and your body's temperature can rise to 104 or more. It needs immediate treatment and we encourage you to call 911. Heat stroke affects the brain and nervous system which can lead to serious injury. It also affects your organs. Immediate attention is required. When a person has reached this level they usually have stopped sweating, as their body's ability to cool is now disabled they are more likely to faint as well as have the symptoms arriving from heat exhaustion. Instead of a weak pulse, the body responds with a racing heart beat. They may appear confused, agitated, slurred speach and appear if they are drunk if they had been drinking alcohol. Alcohol and heat do not mix and a serious event can be mistaken for a drunken fool instead of a heat stroke that can cause a person to loose consciousness and even coma. These are simple definitions to help you and your loved ones seek medical care. The key is to stay hydrated while out in the sun, use sunscreen and have shade available. Remember to keep an eye out on your fur children as pets can also suffer from these same consequences and if the pavement, sand or walking is area is hot on your feet it is also hot on all of our four legged friends. Be safe, stay hydrated, wear sunscreen and foot protection for all of us two legged and four legged friends. Let's discuss options for better health and a better future together.

In your last appointment with your doctor did you have peace of mind when you left the office? Did you feel you where heard? Are you making an appointment for the next visit? Were you referred to a specialist? Did you feel right at home with the specialist? How do doctors communicate these days? I prefer an old fashioned phone call or text message to schedule a time to discuss. I'm so appreciative of the specialist who trained to be the brain surgeon, the orthopedic surgeon, the psychiatrist and the dental surgeons and general dentists. We should be on big happy family that communicate for the best interest of the patient. How is your relationship with your doctor/doctors and nurses. If you are having a procedure, surgery or being hospitalized, know your rights when a patient advocate is needed when you are a patient in the hospital and not being heard. Have a checklist before your procedure and be prepared. We will also discuss private practice, corporate doctoring and knowing the difference and deciding if you are in the right place. Don't be a number build a relationship so you are heard. We hope today's episode of Part II share pearls of wisdom to help find the right fit in your healthcare journey.

Every New Year, Many set out with new resolutions, let's consider a journey of health this year. Let's keep those resolutions and goals past February, when 70% loose their momentum. A great way to start your year, is with a physical, blood laboratories, saliva testing for hormones, EKG, Ultrasound of the heart and carotid dopplers.  Consider starting a lifestyle check today! Ask your physician… We continue our prayers over Damar Hamlin, whom we many continue to speculate what could have happened. Let's be reminded our heart health can be in our control. Damar had a very rare incident, especially if it was the impact that caused the arrythmia, reports show 20 incidents a year of Commotio cordis. A highly unusal impact to the heart. Young people of all ages when entering sports are recommended to have an EKG, another uncommon arrythmia is called Wolffe Parkinson White Syndrome, which is an electrical dysfunction that is commonly seen on an EKG. So this year, we hope you take the time to start the year new, take the time to have a physical with your doctor, establish a relationship with your doctor and dentist so you can on prevention instead of reaction to illness. Did you know that most diseases can be seen in the gum tissue and mouth. We will discuss more in the next podcasts.

When you have to take prednisone, many will complain of having the munchies and are gaining weight. Let's learn today how to combat those hormonal changes and help explain why a burst of energy occurs when taking prednisone. With Children, you may see them more active than they had been all month...yes, these are normal effects. While Prednisone's side effects can be serious, used in the right amounts it is life altering and life saving. Many patients who are on long term physiological prednisone, actually do not loose weight, however their adrenal glands do not produce the hormone that makes cortisol, very similiar to prednisone and they need the medication to be able to function. Many patients with CMV or EBV also share that they felt normal while taking prednisone, because they finally had energy back.  Learn more today how prednisone can affect you.

If your baby or child looses their appetite, runs a fever there are several concerns. For babies, look for nasal flaring and if the lung muscles look retracted (like their working hard) these symptoms are serious and your child may need to be sent to an ER. Many children have RSV and suffer from mild symptoms, however it can turn serious quickly. If this should happen to you, be sure you ask for a nebulizer, with medication shortages we have seen inhalers prescribed to three year olds. So glad these parents call their doctor as we recommend a nebulizer, holding the mask up to the baby or child to breath in, It's okay if they are crying. Crying is great for the lungs and the medication can quickly get into the lungs to help the child breath better. The flu is around this year more than ever, like Covid and RSV  it spreads easily, washing your hands continues to be important as well as covering your sneezes and coughs. We hope today's podcast shares an insight that helps you ask questions to your doctor in a time of need.

During the pandemic public became wary of shortages of many things, including toilet paper. Today, the concern for medication is a real concern. What should you do if you receive a call from your doctor's office or pharmacy that your needed medication is no longer available? We will cover a few immediate options that you can take. 1. Consider different dosages, for example if you normally receive a 30 mg dose of Adderall, you may have to consider a 20 and a 10 mg or three 10 mg tablets as your dosage. The difficulty that arises from this change of prescription is that it is recorded in many states' Prescription Monitoring Program. Which means that instead of dispense 30 tablets you may have to receive 90 tablets of a smaller dosage. These numbers are all reported to the government monitoring program, which many patients are leery of.  While we encourage natural supplements for our patients many may need ADD/ADHD medication to stay concentrated in school or their workplace. If you find you have encountered a shortage immediately ask if there is an alternative dosage your doctor can e-script in and immediately ask for the pharmacist to cancel the previous one, by doing so this helps protect you and your doctor's license. Other shortages have included: a few months ago, we found difficulty with a shortage of a popular type 2 diabetic medication, it was mainly caused by viral videos of weight loss a benefit of the medication for many patients used on label and off-label.  Hypertensive medications have had to be changed due to re-calls. While many patients found these issues frustrating, we shared with each patient this is a new opportunity to find alternative methods of therapy and treatment and many patients were able to change there lifestyle and have weight loss, with the effect of no longer needing the medication. While patients with ADD/ADHD found new opportunities in their career that kept them focused and excited about their endeavors with a new drive in knowing that they were no longer dependent on the medication they took all through Middle School and High School. Every  obstacle in medication, we find new solutions and new studies help us daily to be better doctors and better providers. We hope today's episode provides food for thought.

Holiday stress can cause you to clench and grind your smile causing jaw pain and headaches, this can be easily relieved by equilibrating your teeth so that all the teeth are balanced. As we all know balance is key, without balance we may consume more sugar and carbs to feel better for just the moment. With a good nights sleep we feel better, smile more and share joy. However if you are waking up with a headache, you are not balanced and your subconscious mind is on over drive with worries of the world. We want your Supra-conscious awareness to live your dreams and if you are in stress it's hard to dream and you are consumed with worry.  We specialize in taking care of the whole body from head to toe. A few things to immediately consider is a physical, laboratory blood studies to determine how your insides are working, a dental exam and hygiene. Did you know that the health of your teeth can share what is going on systemically? The plaque on your teeth is the same plaque in your heart and we want you to stay healthy and avoid both.  A few other considerations for yourself include If you haven't had a mammogram, schedule it today and that goes along with a colonoscopy if you are over 45 or earlier or if you have a family history of colon cancer or polyps.  Holidays are for making lasting memories and to be able to do that we must take care of our health and maybe gift yourself to a little Botox, filler or collagen supplements. Did you know Botox can also help your headaches and help reduce tension. When individuals are grinding their teeth and clenching due to stress we can help change the physiological pathways with Botox and other ‘cocktails' for health that can even be IV vitamin therapy to help you have the energy you deserve this holiday season.

Many patients over 50 and under desire to maintain, preserve,  uplift  and produce collagen for natural results that turn back the hands of time. Let's discuss more than just fillers and neurotoxins, Ultherapy is a technology that helps rebuild the infrastructure of our facial features and body. Immediately, most will recognize a tightness and over 90 days collagen will fill in. Most patients will start with an area usually around the eyes, after a follow up visit, they will add the lower face, decollete and other parts of the body. Yes, it stimulates collagen growth in the dermal layers and to help accentuate the results we recommend a liquid collagen to help provide nutrients.

If your mom, dad or elderly loved one is having memory issues, wether dementia, Alzheimer's small vessel disease that causes short term memory loss, when should you decide on memory care and is assisted living an option. Many with memory disorders can move to an assisted living facility, they have monitors on the floor so that if the patient tries to walk the front desk is alerted for immediate assistance. Even in assisted living or memory care, patients can wear a device that is similiar to a life alert that they can push for assistance. However, many individuals may forget how to ask for help and that is when it is best to have laser movement devices that can alert the front desk.  Many patient families ask when it is best to move their parents many prefer to be by their friends and have a unique support system with family, church and friends that allows them to maintain their independence. Others, may become more difficult as they refuse to take medications that allows the family to help them. It is one situation that can be better handled with assisted and memory care alternatives. For our patients one of the easiest transitions is from hospital, to rehabilitation to assisted living or memory care. However, it's not always that easy. Families become overwhelmed as their loved ones forget how to drive, get lost or wonder. In these instances having a family meeting with the doctor they trust can help them with this transition as we all want our loved ones to be safe in every environment. Family members want to keep their loved ones safe and recently on the news we have seen and heard devastating incidences of loved ones being harmed, this is absolutely criminal and should you suspect it you should report it to the authorities for investigation and criminal charges. Family members should be their to care for loved ones as they care for them as children and not take advantage whether financial or physical. It's a journey that if you need assistance in the care of your loved ones, know their are specialists to help you. There are specialty care centers that have counselors on staff to help with the transition for the patient and the family.
